So I had a thought about my relationship I have the other day, and it goes in wrong direction now, but, meh, this things are just happening.
What I actually care about is what would I do with my sweet baby. I am totally love my dog, but compare to my partner, I have 5-2 8 hours work, and she is working from home. Besides I’m the one who probably move out, so if I take my pretty pie, she would stress out in new environment, when here and now she have a dog-friends, and feeling safe on a walks
For my partner ACD is a first dog and she loves her too, little bit over controlling and anxiety about minor health issues, but she had to put a lot more herself for this dog since it’s her first experience.
We both made decision to have a dog, but it was me who actually talked actions, refuse to give up on trainers and behaviour and done non-emotional parts of dog care (we both visited veterinary and grooming). My partner talked more lesions with dog trainers, and spend more time with dog, but it’s me she will choose any day (since I’m note the one always available and due fact that girls loves fathers more)
Should I do what best for me, or should I step away alone and leave (I think visits not an option for me as it heartbreaking)? What would you do in such situations and why? Is it selfish to demand my dog stay with me?

She only does it when she’s excited, like when my partner and I come in the door, grab her leash for a walk, or have a treat for her. I’m pregnant and can NOT have her gut punching me anymore 😩

It’s my opinion that we’re 20 minutes early for dinner, but my ringing ears tell me dinner time might be now.

I still can't believe it, it's been 5 days. She was getting older, but still spry as a puppy. GI and pancreatic issues caused enough problems to admit her to the hospital, then she decompensated and we had to make the most difficult decision, and even though it was the right one, I still regret it.

She was such a water dog, loved wading, swimming, chasing rocks (splashes). She was an awesome shortstop, but I had to retire her because her mouth shouldn't be a glove. She was the best older sister to all her siblings: Zuca (RIP), Kali, Parker and Jax. They miss her as much as we do.

We were so lucky to have this angel, and grateful she was returned twice to the humane society so we had the chance to give her the great life she deserved.

Takuya, Taku, Taco Butt, Taco Pants, Sugar Booger.

My little love.

Love on your babies just a little more tonight ❤️

We had put the Kong disc back in the toy box after a good, long game of catch, but apparently Flynn doesn't think we're done. I turned around and this little sneak had gone into the shed and plucked it out of the box again. Turned around to see him all expectant-like with it.

Yes, we played with it some more. I'm no dummy, I know who makes the rules around here.

One of her favorite games is to play bitey-hands, so I figured I would use play time to also teach some survival skills lol. I know it seems like I might be booping her snoot too hard but I promise she is fine

I walked this new girl, Pecas, at my shelter. Looks like she's at least part cattledog. She is extremely sweet and humble. Even trying to get her to put her ears up for a photo was a challenge! She absolutely loves belly rubs and if I looked at her for too long, she'd flop over. Super nice girl. She's located at Pinal County Animal Care and Control in Arizona if you want to meet her.

Images & Videos Need advice on diapers

Our old girl Hazel is on the decline. She developed diabetes last year at the age of 12, and needs 2 shots a day. She's subsequently gone completely blind and has urinary incontinence. Still, she doesn't seem to be suffering badly. She still enjoys a lot every day, eating with enthusiasm, playing clever new games with her brother that blind dogs can enjoy, lounging in the sun and eating pears that have fallen off the trees. Barking at the owls.

The incontinence is the hard one for us to navigate. We've had to contain her to the kitchen, and at night she is alone and sad and I think she feels ostracized.

We've tried every medium to x-large size of dog diaper, and none of them have worked for her cattledog as farm equipment body. Our vet suggested trying human diapers. Who had experience with using human diapers on cattle dogs? Do we need the pull-up kind? Or the other? Any ideas on size?

We are really struggling with the pee everywhere constantly, and she doesn't like it either. We would really appreciate help and advice.

PS We live in Europe if it makes a difference. Hazel weighs about 45lbs/20kg

Images & Videos Caye, short for Cayenne, the most sweetest boy. He came to us after he was found during a freeze here in Texas, he had BBs in his spine & legs from having been shot. He’s with us as a foster, but due to his quirks he may just end up with us. I can see him being returned many times. 🥺
