In all, my family has 9 fur babies. Most are rescue. ^^

Dixie - Yorkie Poo
Sadie - Chihuahua
Percy - English/Old English Bulldog
• Paisley - Unknown mix
• Delilah - Labrador mix
June - Pit Bull mix
Clementine - Min Pin mix
Mo - Unknown mix
Cash - Bloodhound mix(?)

This is what Sadie looked like when I got her in 2009! She was an Easter gift from former family friends. I got her from a puppy mill and it was a miracle she survived. She was way too young to leave her mother but at the time I didn't know any better. I originally picked a pretty sandy blonde boy but Sadie waddled over to me and I instantly knew she was the one. She picked me and even after all these years she is still my baby! ❤

They may not look like it but Clementine and June are sisters. They, along with five other puppies were rescues we fostered around five months ago. We fell in love with these girls and just couldn't give them up. The rest went to a good rescue! We believe Clem has min pin in her and June definitely has some pit in her. They're both so sweet and very hyper. When my sister first brought them home she found them dumped on the side of the road. They were too young to know to keep away from cars. They were loaded with tapeworms and peppered with mange. They hardly had any fur and they were starving. It's so amazing how good their fur grew back and how better they're doing now. There's a major difference. This is what they looked like before.

Image

Percy, Mo, June, and Paisley are all my sister and brother-in-law's dogs and Delilah, Sadie, and Clementine are mine. We don't have any proper pictures of Paisley or Delilah yet. Dixie is my mom's dog and Cash is mine, my sister's and brother-in-law's dog. We think he is either a Bloodhound or Polish Hound but we're not completely sure. Cash is our newest rescue along with his twin brother
Chief, and Copper. Chief and Copper are going to a rescue since we can't keep anymore animals.

He is 14 weeks old male yorkie with one round of shots. He gets his 2nd round of shots around the 12th of this month if it matters.


He can be taken once he has all of his shots. When is his second round due? You could try to cut the mat out if you get a pair of grooming scissors. I’d also suggest on brushing him daily, even just a few strokes of the brush or comb, it’ll get him used to the feeling of being groomed. The amount of dogs I’ve seen that are afraid of being brushed because owners never bothered to start young is crazy!


Also, as someone who works in a clinic, PLEASE get him used to his ears/face being messed with and his feet. Helps the groomers out as well.

It's so close to the skin I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it myself. I have bad eye sight and he is so squirmy.

And yeah I already groom him daily by spritzing water or leave it in conditioner. It's just in a super awkward place to groom, the spot between jaw bone and neck. I think if it got with me and not his previous owner is from me brushing his teeth. I wipe him with puppy wipes after but it's possible I missed it from him trying to bite the wipe.

I already play with his paws... but do you mean like holding them?

Yes, so if we end up needing to trim his nails or anything, he's used to allowing people to handle his feet c:

Olive is 8 months old now, and she is going through a bit of a teenager phase. She is back to nipping legs/ankles/pants when you walk too fast, barks way more and chews on stuff she hasn't since she was a puppy. I'm not too worried since regression in behavours seems pretty typical for adolescent dogs, plus we have fixed the problems before so we know what to do.
I can't lie though, it does not feel good to have your dog biting your legs and refusing to listen to commands you know she knows.

So I don't remember if I posted about this but my Mom and Sister got new puppies about a week after Christmas. My mom got a black and white male while my sister has like a reddish brown female. they are brother and sister. I'm just going to say they are a pit bull like breed. I'm not sure their exact bully breed.


Here is Jax. He's sweet and feisty. Still having potty training trouble because he just refuses to get the hang of it. His sister is doing much better them him.

Nova is more laid back and stand offish. Just likes to watch but will hold her own when the boys come after her.
Image




Killian is okay around them. he just wants to play. it gets annoying when i take him out to potty and they are out because he won't do his business because he's just all over them. It also causes the puppies to not want to potty as well.

random Killy pics tho cause he is adorable~
