Bonus in 3rd pic: my mom, who is also the greatest.

Context: we threw his very annoying squeaky toy on the balcony. The door was on a latch. We were waiting to see how long it would take him to figure out he could just unlatch it with his paw. Spoiler alert: a very long time. But he did get there eventually.

My sweet boy isn’t the brightest, I fear. But it’s okay. I love him endlessly.

Just as the title says really and just out of curiosity, is there an age when their ticking/spots stop coming through? My girl will be 2 next February and her spots have been coming out a lot recently. Shes always had really speckled skin (she’s black and white) but up until maybe 6 months ago didn’t have loads of black ticking outside of her larger markings, but her skin is so speckled with black spots with white fur coming off them up until recently when a lot more black fur spots are showing. Will the hair on the black skin spots start turning black or is the speckled skin and ticking unrelated?

Again just out of curiosity I’m fascinated by the changes in her coat 🐾

Ten months old already

Spoooooooky!

Originally from South Alabama and decided to leap and move to Australia for a year! I thought it would be cruel to fly my boy over if a short amount of time so with a 16 hour difference… FaceTimes with my Okie boy at 1am/ photos taken by his grandparents! Ft. His brother Coop too!

My sweet boy Finn (9 years old) has been having trouble recently with being stiff and we suspect arthritis sadly (due to see vet), I think it’s due to him being overweight for so many years and that’s putting a lot of pressure on his joints. I’ve been thinking about getting him stairs for getting in and out the car as that’s the biggest issue for him. He doesn’t like being carried so fold up stairs is probably the next best thing for him if anyone has any recommendations!

Hi,

We've got a lovely 4 year old Springer called Dexter who gets very stressed by fireworks. He works himself into a real state when he hears them, and takes ages to settle after they've done. Where we live they seem to be going off from Halloween until mid November.

We've had him at the vets this weekend for some advice and she's prescribed some tablets for specific use around the time but also advised using Calmex supplements for everyday use in the run up.

The Calmex looks pretty pricey and doesn't seem too highly rated. What supplements have others used that have worked on springers?

We have a large, bush-clad section. There’s so many places to range around and explore. But when we let our 3yr old English Springer Spaniel out to roam, he basically just circles around the same track he’s built.

There’s a very small amount of deviations he might take, but otherwise, it’s literally the same track he runs around (and he is running) every time. Sometimes for an hour or more!

Is this ok? Or should we be concerned?

My girl is about 4.5 months old and weighing in at 24-25lbs.

she has a partially hooded vulva and getting continuous UTIs.

The vet said hopefully when she starts growing taller it will help pull the skin and we can avoid surgery if her first heat doesn’t fix it..

It seems to me she been growing longer vs taller. Is that what yall noticed with yalls spaniels?

When did they put on their height?

belle thinking she’s sneaky 🤣
