Gavin made it like 2 months past 17....his health took a big decline around 16. I think he had internal bleeding 'events' every 4-5 months from some sort of tumor (looking back at it now). It was a tough time when he passed (I was a mess), I had just driven him 2000 miles from mom's where I...

Seeing/hearing about anyone loosing their beloved pet is a PTSD reminder of me loosing Gavin, I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Grief is such a primal emotion that you never forget the pain. I'd like to think it makes you a better person, more empathetic to others pain (Or I'm just trying to make...

I went through something similar with Gavin and went down a lot of rabbit holes.. there are some specialty braces that help with MCL issues until they heal/scar over. they are usually a couple of hundred dollars, so not cheap but not surgery $$ either

very sweet

I think he forgives me LOL

Pico gets a bath just about every week after he goes to the beach. So he is always clean and fluffy and cuddly. My DIY dog bathtub on a table is great, much better on the back than hosing him down on the ground.

Pico loves his post bath towel down :)

a few weeks ago he found a fish head! He was throwing it around like one of his toys. That one would have been a great picture but I was running to get that damn thing out of Pico's mouth as soon as I saw it!

he's sunning himself right now!

Pico LOVES picking up bark on his hikes. He is really good about dropping when I ask. Actually, all I have to do is say "do you think you are supposed to have that?' and he drops it. It sounds more civilized then a stiff command, and it works really well :)

So last week was my last week employed (work didn't want me coming in and contaminating workers LOL). Pico loved it, but poor guy doesn't get as much as sleep! He has to be close enough to hear if I move, as opposed to me being gone for 9 hours and him sleeping in peace.

funny thing is, he gets trapped in the garage sometimes, and he NEVER barks. If I am in the garage cleaning something up, he doesn't bark either. He just waits for me at the inside door. Pico has his own rules

Pico would be soo mad if I kept him out of my bedroom! And he barks. He sleeps mostly in his crate, sometimes on my bed (less in summer), often in the dog bed next to my bed, and in the hallway. I am sure he would sleep on the couch but that isn't close enough to me to properly monitor my...
