β€œBlue”, #Dog, Runs 4 Miles to Get Help After Owner Crashes Truck in a Ravine

As Brandon Garrett lay stranded in a ravine in Oregon last week, his dog Blue was running through the densely wooded area, toward help.

Blue, a whippet, ran for nearly 4 miles w/glass in his snout & made it to a campsite where they had been before & where Garrett was supposed to be meeting his friend.

I never thought that blood test results would bring me so much joy:

β€˜She has the bloodwork of a young, healthy dog again’

(Normal bilirubin is up to 0.9. She had 8.0 when she was admitted!!)

Summer just wants people to know that she hopes to be smelling less skunky soon.
Every day is a little better.
Still no collar because the smell wouldn't wash out. Anxiously waiting for the new ones to arrive. She couldn't decide if she wanted to stay with red or change things up, so we bought some new colors to try.
She can choose from blue, purple or her old standby red.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Cookie got a clean bill of health from the vet, who saved her when she had a close shave last month! She said Cookie is doing really well, though her issues are still β€˜a ticking time bomb’. We are hoping we can manage them medically and keep her happy and comfy before that happens. I’m really glad to have extra time with her.

Expecting Sheridan to eat something you give him, instead of just walking around holding on to it, is a lost cause.

Ah well, pictures it is then.

The dog next door - Rohan really wants to say "Hi" and get a nice rub as a greeting. Cookies are a bonus, if you have one.

Everyone thinks their #dog is the best, and everyone is correct

I realised that I take dozens of puppy photos a week and I stopped posting any.

I've been quite smitten by Heelers lately. While cattle dogs tend to be few and far between at sheepdog trials, I did manage to snap a few nice shots of some spectators at the 2024 National Sheep Dog Trial Championships (wow, that name is a real mouthful).

This is Martyn. His calm appearance is belied by his pricked ears, which reveal his true state of alertness. While I may be projecting a little, his expression says to me: 'Why is the guy I was playing with just moments ago, now sitting out of reach pointing a giant camera at me?'. While I'm sure he would rather we had kept playing, I feel he is resigned to the fact that sometimes humans are just weird.

πŸ“· Layla came to us as a wee, unwanted potato last September and went to her forever home New Year's Day. Here she is in late November in a rare still moment.

BamBam says, β€œHAPPY PRIDE!”

Also, BamBam is perfect in every wayβ€”sweet, mellow, easy to walk, gets along with kids and other dogsβ€”and he’s available to adopt at the Ulster County SPCA. #dogsofmastodon


Summer and I decided we needed some fresh air and exercise.My husband wasn't home yet, so we left him a note to heat up the hot chocolate and warm the muffins we left for him and that we would be back from the beach soon.
Today is warm with a mild wind, so I didn't even take a jacket.
Summer was so excited that she frolicked until she couldn't frolick any more.
We have a happy and tired dog.
Clean now, too, after her bath.

Yes, you love your pets and yes, they are good for you – but it's okay to acknowledge for your own mental health that pets can create stress and that some animals are more work than others.
PS: that doesn’t mean it’s ok to take that dog out and shoot it

My sweet, newly adopted dog is recovering from her first treatment for heartworm. The treatment kicked her ass, but now it's 6 days after the first injection and she's feeling much better. She felt well enough to pose in front of the pretty posies for me.


This summer, watch out for the unassuming grass seed pod known as a foxtail. Its segment's stickiness can burrow into the skin, eyes, and ears of pets, be inhaled into the nose or even make its way into the lungs.

Symptoms to look out for:
🌱 Frequent shaking of your pet's head
🌱 Drainage or discharge from the eye
🌱 Sneezing or pawing at the nose
🌱 Coughing or hacking
Learn more from a vet:
