The official EN World puppy/doggo thread

We’re doing Christmas shopping/packing/delivering, and we got our grrrl a new doggie door. She decided to take a nap next to where I propped it up against a coffee table, and in doing so, knocked it over on herself.

She did not move.

Christmas is tiring, even for Border Collies, apparently.

Our grrrl just turned 13, and while still feisty, she’s starting to show her age. So I’ve started placing some small area rugs around the house in places where she’s having traction issues.

My guy just turned 16 and won't go on smooth surfaces unless he has to.

Heck, I don't like to go on smooth surfaces unless I have to. Or anything where my foot can turn.

Taken when they were being good for like, five seconds.

Just because it reminded me of how different two dogs can appear when they're rough housing and hanging, a pair of pictures of the now long gone and sorely missed Eric and Belle:

Are yours decent to walk together? I walk both Max and Tamara as a set (on a dual lead) and to be honest, its always something of a challenge.

Edit: Just to make clear since Dajr's response makes me think my post might be misinterpreted, this is not saying the two don't get along, though they have kind of a rough-and-ready relationship (as you'd expect from a GSD/heeler mix and a GSD/pit bull/every-guard-and-herding-breed-in-the-world mix) but more that both are kind of high strung and Max is pretty reactive, which makes managing both of them at the same time while out in the world--tricky.

They are pretty great. I take them to dog parks and dog hangouts too. Max the healer and Stella Rey the mearl corgi are a bit shy but well behaved. Milo Ren is super friendly and outgoing. Loves to meet and play with new dogs. He’s slowly changing the other two.

We had to put our middle sheltie down today. At 7 1/2 -- we'd been doing chemotherapy for lymphoma for a couple of months and while her lymph nodes were doing better, we noticed she was getting uncomfortable plus was getting some abdominal bloating. Turns out her internals were riddled with tumors. Hard choice but we couldn't see her suffer.
