MEET “ARYA STARK” AND “TOKI WARTOOTH” (submission via whatifthewolvescome).  Thank you!

Answering your request for submissions! These are my dog: Arya Stark and Toki Wartooth (Not a Bumble Bee). Arya is a Yorkshire/Scottish Terrier mix and Toki is a German Shepard/Shiba Inu mix.

I adopted Toki from a program here in Colorado that rescued dogs from kill shelters around the US about 3 years ago. I didn’t think I’d ever have more dogs in my life since the ones I had growing up had all died pretty traumatically, with the last one having to be euthanized four years prior. But I was going through a really tough time and it was suggested that having a dog again would help me get my bipolar disorder back under control. That week, I started looking for adoption events, saw his picture for one that was happening that weekend, and I was lucky enough to have him come home with me at the end of the day. Six months after that, we added Arya to our family. She was from a litter of puppies my brother’s friend were selling. She’s from a farm family and spent her time before us growing up with her brothers and sisters and a calf named Angus.

Both are complete opposites of each other. Toki is extremely neat, almost like he has doggie OCD, is wary of people he doesn’t know, and is unbelievably well behaved and quiet (until he feels like letting out that Shiba yodel). Arya is pretty much exactly like her namesake: she’s my little wild wolf girl who loves to be covered in dirt, being loud, making people fall in love with her, and going on adventures around my parents’ property. He loves to pose for the camera, she hates it. We go everywhere we can together.

MEET “LUMP” THE MINIATURE DACHSHUND (submission from thehighandlow) Thank you! 

This is my super tiny (15 year old?) miniature dachshund, Lump. He’s named after Picasso’s dachshund, of course. Lump came into my life over 2 years ago from the Pasadena Humane Society where I volunteer taking photos for their website. He had been severely neglected most of his long life. Lump was underweight, had terrible fly stike on both ears and was in the process of losing most of his rotten teeth. He had also been hit by a car prior to being picked up by the shelter so his pelvis was messed up and his front paw was broken. We also found out later that he had a raging kidney infection. Poor little man!

Today, Lump is very healthy and is the love of my life. He’s finally living the life he was supposed to live along side my other rescue mutts.

Submission from suparuki:

This is one of my favorite pictures of Skye.  She wasn’t really supposed to be on the picnic table, but we were rebels like that.  She must have only been three or four in this picture.  She was truly an awesome dog.  When she was ten she was diagnosed with what was thought to be cancer.  She had a large tumor in her neck, and although it didn’t spread to the rest of her body like they thought, it continued to grow and was inoperable due to the location.  More than two years later, which I am lucky to have spent with her, she had to be put down because she struggled to breathe.  I had her since she was a baby and I was only twelve.  She was my best friend and was always there for me.

Thanks for the submission!

Life without him just isn’t life. I got to work for him, I get up early in the morning for him, and I do everything possible for him.
He is my beautiful baby boy, and he is rotten spoiled dog, but I’m ok with that :)

Thank you to annefamily for the great dog submission!

Submission from Megan:

I told our Dachshund that I would try to share him with the world on his birthday this year. If I only get to show a few people the face of love, then it is worth it. He has made our hearts bigger than we could ever imagine and taught me a thing or two about patience. 

Thank you for sharing!

This is something I found online. It made me cry.
