This is Lani and her little ear biscuit. Last photo to prove she doesn’t always look so concerned.

I have got a male intact 17 months old Sammy, generally a good boy but too much in the way of attention seeking and being loud at home and during walks. During car rides he used to be just calm and quiet but tends to get whiney when he is in familiar roads such as the street outside our house and the street near my son's school. Lately this has escalated to full blown barking and very incessant whining, almost to the point of seeming to be distressed. I have attached a video of this.

I got him last year when he was 4 months old and I have always taken him out in car rides, often 2-3 times a day so it is not new to him. Has anyone faced this behavior before? Any recommendations on how to handle this? It gets pretty loud and intense in the car when he gets going like this. Does this warrant a vet visit for any type of check up?

Thanks for all the support from this community.

There was a perfectly Pishu sized spot of cold tile in front of the fireplace at my friend’s house! Also not her back foot always sidesploots like that ❤️

I really get a kick out of how Nimbus looks in this picture ☁️ It was drizzly, low 50’s and she was in absolute heaven!

I’m a first time Samoyed owner! She loved camping! She’s 3 months old :)

I wonder what she found.....

My 6 y/o Samoyed Zuko was diagnosed with hip dysplasia which will be 16-20K plus diagnostics. Additionally he may need a knee surgery for 8K, a mass removed from his ear for 3K, and whatever other diagnostics necessary (which has already stacked to 3K). The hip pain escalated pretty quickly & he’s been well managed on 75mg Carprofen 2x/day but idk how long that will keep him comfortable. His breeder evidently did not carefully breed him and pet insurance wasn’t an option because of this (I did my research to the best of my abilities, this was not uncovered til 3 yrs after I got him). Before tearing me apart as a bad owner, just know I’ve given him everything I can - he is active, social, and very well trained. He lives a very happy life & I’m devastated at the possibility of euthanasia due to costs alone.
I just wanted to seek advice or support from anyone who has been in a similar situation or has any advice.
Sending love to all of you wonderful dog owners who put your dog above anything else.

I love coming home to these girls!

Just some silly photos with Lychee!
