This is my girl Siggy. My ex tried to surrender her to a shelter knowing she'd be euthanized within days. Luckily she was still chipped to me, and we were reunited after being kept apart for almost a year. Welcome home baby girl. You are safe now.

I think she approves.

The look she gave me when we finally took shelter was so full of guilt and disappointment 😩😅

Probably won't make many replies. Really odd looking through his pictures tonight. I think the order I looked at them maybe, but whatever it was it really got to me. Miss the old dude. Love to your pups.

Hi fellow hippo lovers! I guess I need a place to vent and get advice so here we go…

I adopted Josie from my local animal shelter 4 weeks ago. We have been working so hard on training with lots of positive reenforcement (praise and treats), however earlier this week she became extremely ill and was actually admitted to the emergency vet. Until the vets can figure out the root of her stomach issues and/or food allergies, I was told to not give her any treats - only the prescription wet food they sent us home with. It seems that all the training progress we’ve made has disappeared without the use of treats.

Anyways, as we were walking though our apartment building today after a walk outside, Josie stopped to sniff a cart of cleaning supplies the custodial staff left in the hallway. She was on a leash and I called her name to get her attention so we could keep walking but she ignored me, so I pulled on her leash to get her attention. The custodian was walking back to their cart and saw this and proceeded to scold me about how I “shouldn’t allow such an unfriendly and dangerous dog out in public” and how “dogs like that don’t belong here”. We live in a pet-friendly building with zero breed or weight restrictions and I pay pet rent - so she has every right to be here in her home with me.

I guess I’m wondering how you all deal with these negative comments and ignorant people. I didn’t say anything to the custodian - once I got Josie’s attention we just walked down the hallway and into our unit. There are so many things I wish I would have said… and none of them were nice. I just feel like I have a responsibility to protect and defend her and I’m not sure how to handle these situations in the future.

My sweet girl had 1 tumor on her eye and two benign lumps on her body removed at the end of February. Now she has 2 new mast cell tumors on her body and needs another surgery🥺 Please send positive vibes🫶
