It's not too hot (yet), so he seems to have enough energy for decent morning walks in the woods. In the afternoons, we usually go to this football field where dogs of all sizes and shapes get together. Dogs run and play, chase each other, fetch tennis balls, etc. Miles mostly just hangs out...

New puppy at the field. Fearless. Ran, wrestled and hung out with the big dogs... At the end he was the last one standing :cool:

A new dog joined our "society of off-leash dogs" at the football field today - a huge, good looking German Shepherd boy. It will be a bit of a challenge to get Miles to coexist with him, but it's either that or finding another place to hang out... We'll see how it goes. Here he is, for GSD...

Hot weather probably plays a role... If we take away hot days, cold days, rainy days, snowy days, windy days, lazy days, etc. - probably will be lucky to have 2 weeks out of the year suitable for His Majesty to do some gentle outdoors activities. What kind of rugged lion hunter is this? Or do...

Here is our good boy Miles meeting a strange creature. The strange creature was quite brave and inquisitive, but I wonder what small dog owners feel when their small dog comes nose-to-nose with a big one. Are they silently praying, while trying to keep a polite smile on???? Let's say Frenchie...

Test results are in - slight abnormalities here and there, but nothing that really stands out... which is good news, for now. We'll do another round of urine and blood testing in a month or so, to see if any trends pop up. Meanwhile the boy will have to walk his walks again. He's become a...

No news yet. Blood sent to the lab yesterday for testing, results should be back today/tomorrow. In the mean time he regained some of the energy and appetite, so morning walks are actually walks again, even if he sleeps most of the rest of the day. At the very least, we don't have to jump...

Baby Miles. 1st came protein in urine, then it didn't go away on a repeat test, then energy level drops and he just stops eating.. More tests this week, but I have a bad feeling. Meanwhile, our walks look like this, just resting mostly. I thought second time around would somehow be easier, not...

Yep, I would suggest more walks too - quite good for both quadrupeds and bipeds during stressful times

Hugs... very sorry to hear.

No need to worry. This too shall pass. Just wait a bit, and it will be fine. That's what the wise dog does ;)

Just curious - what are the main expenses (time or money) associated with maintaining a forum?

Ought to be a T! This is an awesome feature from what I heard - essentially climate control is active while the car is parked with no humans inside. At the same time, some of the states (in US) have laws prohibiting leaving dogs inside cars with no humans.

When human world becomes too insane, we can turn to dogs for quiet moments of peace and affection ;).

This occasionally scares the heck out of small dog owners encountering Miles and his friendly friends... But it's a sign of love and affection (and not an indication of a hungry dog).
