Hi everyone! So I am taking Aspen to the vet and will ask them about it there but I think he is suffering from very bad seasonal allergies or a yeast infection at the moment. I just wanted to see if anyone else might have an thoughts. After we take him out for his bathroom breaks, he comes...

Hi friends, our sister recently adopted a dog after fostering him and today we introduced the dogs. Benny is a pittie and he’s the same weight as Aspen but of course packs more punch in his power and when they were sniffing one another Benny took hold of Aspens face in his mouth. I was terrified...

Hi friends! So Aspen and I have just come back from a vet visit. I was freaking out because he was drooling and had a runny nose for three days straight. Vet couldn't get us in till today because they didn't think it was an emergency as he was still eating, drinking, pottying, and playing...

We still feed Aspen kibbles because raw isn’t something that we have tried yet. Aspen gets raw chicken breast as a treat nearly everyday from when I’m prepping for meals so he is used to raw meat. If I were to give him a raw chicken drumstick or wing everyday as a snack, would that assist in...

Obviously I have too much time on my hands being quarantined. Aspens tail has always been a wonder of the world in our family because the thing is so strong it’ll knock a grown man over or bruise you. Well we were on the couch and I was checking out his tail and I noticed that the end of it is...

We moved in October and have been temporarily living in a house near train tracks. Well, the property we bought is about one minute away from the current house we are staying at and is even closer to the train tracks. A train rumbles through every single night and though it isn’t that loud, the...

Aspen will have hunger pukes sometimes because he's being a picky eater and skips a meal or we accidentally got off schedule. I don't know if you guys remember, but he doesn't have the greatest teeth as they started browning around him being 8 months old. We were told back in July 2019 that we...

Hi friends, long time no see, here is a photo of Aspen to make up for the time! Our little boy is going to be 3 in April! Can you believe that? Remember when I first came to this forum thinking I was crazy for hating my adorable brand new puppy but you all helped me through it all? I owe you...

Aspen only barks when someone is home with him. For example, if the mailman buzzes the doorbell to let us know they’ve dropped off a package, Aspen will bark if I am home and inside with him. However, if Aspen is home alone and package is dropped off and the mailman buzzes the doorbell or...

Aspen is loving life at his grandpa's place. We go walking all the time cause we don't have a fenced in yard anymore, so he reeeally loves that! We are in the process of finalizing house plans and will be building a house that will hopefully be finished by next October! I graduate in less than 8...

Hi friends! Justen, Aspen and I have moved out of our house and are now living at the family cabin until we find a new place to live. I am getting really frustrated because we used to have a fenced-in yard, but at this cabin we don't have a fence so I have been taking Aspen on leashed walks...

Hi friends! Our house is getting put on the market tomorrow. We are hoping it sells quickly! In the meantime, we will be living at our parent's summer homes while we wait to either build a new house or wait for the perfect one to come onto the market. I myself am stressed about the move because...

My sister has a very reactive GSD named Maggie who is 6. She was attacked by a mastiff when she was about 2 and my sister and her husband never really did anything about it. Well, 4 years later she absolutely cannot be around any dog other than Aspen and my sisters other dog, Chester. My sister...

Hi friends! Long time no see! I haven’t had to come back to this site as much cause Aspen has been a joy. However, I’ve been made aware of some troubling issues with the kibble brand Aspen has been eating. He eats Taste of the Wild and they recently had a lawsuit against them over high levels of...

We took Aspen for a walk today and let him play/swim in a creek for a few minutes. We left him at home around 5 pm and came home around 9 pm and realized that he had suddenly developed an ear infection. Is it possible for them to develop a water-related ear infection in just a few hours? Also...

Aspen has a cue for eating kibbles so he sits down and waits till I say "OK!". Normally he would dive straight into eating. He used to eat really quickly. I have noticed over the last 2 months that A: he has slowed down his eating a lot and B: he trots around and gets easily distracted and even...

So I just noticed that Aspen has a balding patch at the end of his tail :eek: Not only that, but Justen was looking at the spot the other day and noticed that the very tip of Aspen's tail is incredibly dry! It is so dry that the tip could almost poke you, like the carbon tip of a pencil! Upon...

I've been trying to moisturize Aspen's paw pads with Musher's Secret because this cold has taken quite a toll on his feet. I was worried about the especially dry parts near his nails - does this look like they're just really dry or does it look like there's something else going on? They're...

I’m unsure if the source is super reliable, but I joined a Facebook page that educates dog parents on alternative options to the traditional neuter/spay. A lot of people are seeking out Zeuterin still but that basically failed as soon as it launched in the US and no one really knows what it is...

This was Aspen's eye maybe 5 months ago, excuse the eye booger. And then yesterday I noticed an eye booger that I couldn't get off. I left it alone cause I didn't want to irritate his eye. Well, today most of the boogers came off but the color of his skin changed. It doesn't seem to bother...
