r/papillon

I haven't posted Newt to this sub in awhile but I need all the thoughts, prayers, and good vibes sent his way. I just got a call from his vet that he can no longer lift his head and that his organs are starting to shut down. It started with an upset tummy, and he was vomiting every morning, but he still had all his playful and bouncy energy so we were not super worried. We had a vet visit scheduled for the following week, but he started to vomit a brown liquid and he stopped eating entirely so I took him in. he can be observed by vets at least. They think he has stomach ulcers.. but no matter what we do he won't keep food down. This was him last night when they let me take him home. He has been at the vet all day and hes not getting better. He is being transferred to the ICU right now. Im devastated.

Also, apparently someone still has fireworks to let off? I also live less than a mile from the fire.department, so we hear sirens quite a bit. Oh well, Buddy just ran like 2 feet away and was tight back to his game.

I make his food fresh every morning to protect his teeth.

This is what you get for chasing butterflies through long grass 😱

Yoda is a Big Blepper. I don't want to get it confused with the Big Bopper of the 50's. Yoda sports a blep quite often and I live for it. Now, he's starting to add a little flair here and there. So, with facial expressions, even our beloved Papillons give us a side eye from time to time. Now Yoda has added something new for me.

Yoda just delivered the Crooked Blep. I love it. He looks me right in the eye so seriously. Yoda is definitely trying to tell me something. Hmmm ... 🤔 Quizzical? Curious? Pondering the universe? What could it be?

Minnie had a bout of pancreatitis 2 weeks ago. She is doing much better but doesn’t seem to like her new food-Hills Digestive Care I/d or ProPlan EN gastroenteric that I’ve tried so far. Pieces are large & hard. Did add some water today. Any suggestions? Here she is thinking about having some. She also hides bits of it around the house.

When you’re a smoll boi, there’s a big rock and you need to get to a smell that’s out of reach on the ground. 🤣🤣🤣

Yoshi's summer vacation in Maine - he's having an amazing time and says hi to his r/papillon friends!

All three pups were just having a wonderful day. Ali even rolled over for the first time completely upside down.

We rescued Oona in April 2025 — they told us she was a Papillon/Pomeranian mix. She’s 9 years old and so energetic. She suffered from mammary masses which were all removed, and biopsied (benign). She’s the happiest little girl and has the biggest personality. We’re going to do the Embark DNA test soon. Just wanted to share my little girl here!

She’s watching birds

Never have I had a dog that is so needy. Just constant snuggles or play. Not complaining tho...

Freeze dried strawberries (no added sugar etc). My pap loves them!! It’s the dog version of sour candy (they are almost all sour and he seems to love them!) My chihuahua seems to like it too! Although she loves almost all fruit, my pap is a little more picky 🍓 ❤️ 🐶

Poor Rogue tangled with a skunk tonight in the yard, of course it was right before bed 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thankfully it wasn't a direct hit. He got hit in the eye and mouth. Ugh. He's perfectly fine and all cleaned up now.

Shakra has chewed through every collar and harness we've gotten him, even lupine, the most advertised brand, only replaces the items once, and he's chewed through several.

Picture of the culprit for tax.

Rome said - Silly mommy - treats are food to me and there's no treat button! 😜 But, ok - I'll press the food button for you! 👍 Sorry - I always get so excited! 🤗 Turn volume on 🙏

I needed to post and celebrate one year with my baby, she is also almost exactly 18 months now!

I'm visiting family so Buffy is home with my wife and kids but I'll be home in the morning for celebration cuddles.
