Purebred MinPin and Purebred Chocolate Lab. MinPin has diabetes and is 14 years old. Only picture I would have on me is him in his normal position of sleeping. The lab has severe alergies and is mostly missing hair. Love the mutts to death, but not going to have a pure bred dog any time soon. My last dog was part lab, part akita, and the size of a small bear. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk
We had a Yorkie that had diabetes for a good part of her life. Had to give her 2 shots of insulin a day. It was quite a life style change for us all at first. Unfortunately we lost her when her kidneys decided to shut down.
Haha love the terminology I have 3 cocker spaniels and there's never a dull moment as there is no stop in them dogs
Here are are two dogs. Chett is a Jack Russel Terrier. He just turned 8. Lily is a Cairn Terrier mix. She is 2. Both are rescue dogs. My wife volunteers at an animal shelter and somehow these two "followed" her home. Tons of energy and a blast to play with.
They are like brother & sister. Play fight a lot. But last week my neighbors pit bull breached their fence and attacked Lily. Chett went after the pit and was biting it's legs. The pit released Lily. Chett got a bite through his lip and Lily had multiple bites on her hind quarters and belly. Took 'em both to the vet and had them checked out. The vet shaved around Lily's wounds and we had them both on anti-biotics for a few days. Both OK although Lily doesn't like being in the backyard alone now. She gets a little braver by the day. Here's a pic after the vet visit. You can see where the vet shaved her. Lily still looks traumatised in this shot and she was in some pain but she's more her old self now.
Adopted an Italian Greyhound this weekend. She fit right in with our other two dogs (Jack Russell, Golden Retriever) and seems to be really happy in her new home. My wife isnt especially a small dog person but Daisy chose her as her own snuggle buddy
That's the look of happiness, all right. Great that your wife does that. Makes me think of what Sir Edmund Hillary said to Sherpa Tensing Norgay soon after they became the first to climb Mt. Everest, "Well, what about going down?"
