Needed to vent,my dog almost died...

Man, thank you lucky stars it all ended like it did. I think I would be shattered beyond words if something was to happen to my puppy. Imagine what could have happened if you were at work at the time or just not there.

I am sure that in time it would all be fogoten and they will both play with each other soon again. Just one word of caution. I am not an expert by any means but I think that the collars in you pictures looked very loose on the girls. A loose collar has more chance for them to get stuck on somewhere and also to get tangled to each other like they did. My vet told me is all the slack they need is two fingers (index and middle finger) to fit under the collar snugly. No more than that. Don't mean to preach but just sharing advice I was given by a profesional.


Anyway since we are sharing pics of our puppies here is my little guy. His name is Üter and he is a White German Shepherd.



And here we have the squashy face look.

While I consider him my best friend sadly he doesn't seem to think of me as his best friend. I am a distant second his feline best friend. They play for hours on end, sleep next to each other, eat from each others bowls and it goes on....... I get left over love when the kitten wants to sleep and he isn't tired. Ah well...........


I am 1600miles away from him now. Dad is having cancer surgery and I want to be by his bed side as he recovers but it is killing me not being able to pat the little guy or have him chew on my toes even. My friends are looking after him and I think they are pretty sick of my constant phone calls and requests for a photo of him. LOL.

Also I think he is more into RC cars than me. He chases them till he gets sick and throws up. It is usually me that gets bored and wants to go home first which makes him sook all the way home.

This is what I understood about collars as well.

We only have one dog. He turns 7 at the end of the month. He's a Golden Retriever. We actually had his half brother too (same father) before him, but he got away from my parents when they were walking him one night and ran into the street and got hit by two cars. Neither of them bothered to stop. It was the street right near my house, so he was only about a hundred feet away from my house. We rushed him to the vet ER but his heart was already stopped by the time we got there. They tried to bring him back but he was gone.

After we lost him (Shadow), we wanted a pup from the same parents so we called the breeder but apparently Shadow's mom got hit by a car just a month earlier (which to this day gives me the chills), so that's why we have his half brother (same dad, different mom). Anyway, here he is. Kobe.

Sorry to hear that, but at least you were able to get her in time.

I have a story about my little dog, he's 13 years old now.

When he was about three I was at my parents working on their computer. The dogs were all in the back doing what dogs do. My folks have a pool, and in the winter it gets a cover put on it. Well their big dog started howling and yiping, alot, but he always sorta did that.

This went on for a while when finally I went out to see WTF was going on. My little dog got on the pool cover, the cover slipped of and started filling with water and going into the pool. This was November and the water was ice cold, by the time I got to him he was under with one paw barely trying to swim. His gums were grey and he was in hypthermia so it was a mad dash. Scooped him out, ran as fast as I could to the car, heater on full and smokin down to the emergency vet which thankfully under ten miles away. I was freaked out for a long time after that and now the poll is absolutely inaccessable by any of the dogs.

Funny thing is now he loves to swim, but only when an adult is around.
