"In conclusion, this study shows that the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs is linked to how long they are exposed to natural s*x hormones, and the relationship isn’t simple or linear. The highest risk was seen when females were spayed before about 1054 days (just under 3 years) and males before about 805 days (a little over 2 years). These results may help define what counts as “early” spay or neuter when it comes to cranial cruciate ligament disease risk.

Chihuahua Joins Wolf Pack Caught on Camera

In Ely, Minnesota, locals were used to a scrappy stray chihuahua roaming the streets. Despite his size, he carried himself like he owned the town—friendly, but fearless. Then one day, after more than a year of sightings, he suddenly disappeared. With wolves moving closer to town, many assumed he’d been eaten.

But a month later, a farmer’s trail camera revealed the truth. The missing chihuahua wasn’t gone—he was trotting confidently with a wolf pack. When a wolf expert was asked how this was possible, he laughed and said, “I’ve met many wolves and a few Chihuahuas, and I was always more scared of the Chihuahuas”

Good dog❤️

When my husband crashed into a tree while skiing, he was stranded, injured, and losing daylight fast. With no way to call for help, his only hope was our dog, Phoebe.

The couch is empty tonight. We had to say good bye to our Carly Tuesday. She fought a good fight the past few months but the medications were no longer sufficient. She will be greatly missed, especially by her sister Ariel💔
