That’s it that’s all.

Hello everyone,

I just moved to an area with no doggy daycare options and my dog is a lot more restless than usual and barking a lot in the evenings. I was hoping to provide some enrichment to keep him from getting too bored during the day while I'm gone at work.

I take him for a walk before and after work, come home during my lunch break to let him out, and hire a dogwalker twice a week. He isn't anxious when I leave, but I think he mostly just sleeps. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for enrichment while I'm at work. Puzzle feeders and snuffle mats won't work because he doesn't like to eat his food and is extremely picky. He has access to his bully stick and I give him a dental chew as I leave in the mornings. I also put music on the TV for him.

I'm open to any suggestions that may have worked for your dogs! I have also added a picture of the pup in question :)

My pup looks like he has a little blonde hair coming out of his head, is he pure bred? The place we got him stated he was pure

Ceci’s mom here again! I posted earlier about puppy blues and received so much support from this group—I’m very thankful for that, and I'm feeling better each day. ❤️

Recently, Ceci started doing what looked like a reverse sneeze. I sent the breeder a video, and she said it was normal and common for the breed. But something didn’t feel right. She started slowing down and wasn't as playful as usual, and I also felt that she was a bit warm.

I decided to take her to the vet, where they found she had a fever and her lungs sounded congested. They took an x-ray, and it looks like she has some form of bronchopathy or pneumonia. We’re currently waiting on the final results. This is her after getting a shot, poor baby, was so upset.

But that’s not even the worst part... She had been itching, and the breeder’s vet had prescribed Celestamine. She acted really strange after taking it. She seemed nauseated, started whining, and ran around the house as if she were in distress. I stopped the medication, and our vet confirmed today that was the right move. The dose the breeder’s vet prescribed was far too high for her age and weight, she could have died!

I’m so thankful she’s doing fine now, but I'm also really angry. Never doubt your gut when you feel something’s not right.

Got our girl back from the groomer yesterday and noticed her skin seems very pink (had to shave her down because of matting and knots.) Does this seem too pink that it can be an issue? She scratches throughout the day but don’t think it’s enough that this is from scratching.

Also what the hell did the groomer put in between her eyes 😂😂 I hate it but my dog is a bitch and won’t let me get close enough to remove it lol

She is a year old. 🩷🩷

Name: Mila 👑

Age: 11(and still aging like fine wine)

Dog kind: Maltese 🐕

Country of origin: Poland 🇵🇱

Fav food: Liverpaste (strictly high quality) 🥩

Owner: Me (or rather, I am her humble servant)

Friends?: You decide 👇

Queen?: Absolute YES.

This is Qavah, or Qavi (kavi) for short. I just got her a month ago, and she turned 1 two weeks ago! Looking for any advice on getting an already adult Maltese. She was designated for breeding, but she has a small hernia and cannot be bred, so the owner wanted to get rid of her. Because of that she is still getting used to being in a house and around people. Does anyone have any advice, especially for socialization?

The way he tilts his head when you ask him if he wants to go on a walk is too cute. ❤️
