My 5 year old baby boy is very gentle and kind.. Generally extremely well mannered especially inside the apartment.. Today my 8 month old was practicing her crawling and was close to him and starting gently touching his feet and he was wagging his tail laying down and licking her.. Good boy behaviour... Then after a maybe 5-6 min while still laying down he did a small subtle growl at her and it absolutely freaked my wife out... Apparently we should not scold him as he was just defining boundaries but then again it was too close for comfort for us... Any thoughts or anything anyone can share to help my wife and I navigate this

Our lovely rescue baby 3yo BC - we think he could be mixed as he is HUGE but unsure.

I can't believe it's already been a whole year with my favourite boy 💖💖

Daisy passed away from thyroid cancer in 2023 nearing age 12. She was my first and only childhood dog.

I found this subreddit a few weeks ago and wanted more people to know about her. A deflated basket ball was her favourite toy. She loved crossing her paws. She hated being indoors. Any body of water she saw, she had to jump in.

I was raised on a farm. When I was 8 years old, my family wanted to get a dog. We found someone who had 6 border collie puppies about an hour drive away from our home. She was the last one to be chosen.

When we got home, we each put our name suggestion in a bowl, shuffled, and plucked out the name “Daisy”. We went through 3 collars before we got her one she didn’t chew up.

I don’t know what I believe happens after death, but it’s nice to think she’s running on an endless farm full of daffodils. She’ll never age, never get sick, never die.

Last image is a drawing of her I made a few years ago. I don’t think I’ve ever felt grief this strong. Her name tag hangs from my car’s rearview mirror.

We’ve had our landshark for 2 weeks now, and our crusty 11 year old Aussie has finally warmed up to the little demon.

He’s been a dream to train, and he trained us pretty quickly on what happens when he gets overtired.
At 12 weeks and 20lbs, this turkey is going to be a big boy!

Boy!

Kynos loves a good nap. But also, time to play

I did this in 2021 just 1y after I adopted him.

Happy pupper day everyone,here's Obi.

... and everything else here.

Is anyone else’s bc / bc mix obsessed with Sean the sheep man on YouTube?

Tova is nine-ish and has come to live with us after her ageing human downsized and couldn't meet her needs any more.

We're not bonded yet obviously, but she is a ridiculously good girl. Our only real requirement was that she was able to leave my grumpy-old-man cat alone, and she's already bringing us (and especially my spouse) so much joy.

Saw this online, and with fall hitting, could not resist!!
