dogs

Thank you to the ICHC fans on Facebook for participating in our weekly challenge! The challenge was to share an image of your pet preventing you from your work at home. The results were amazing. 

We loved seeing all your furry co-workers hard at work! And by hard at work, we mean working hard at keeping you from working or just working overtime trying to get that beauty sleep they're so deprived of. 

But alas, we couldn't share them all here as much as we would love to. So if you would like to see more than the list provides, you can find the challenge here. 

Artist behind @okbluecomics, adorable and wholesome webcomics all draw in blue, recently shared a more personal comic featuring his dog, Korbin.

He shared the story about how Korbin's knee came to be injured on Imgur, "About a year ago my dog, Korbin, was running to the house from the back yard, when he got to the deck he made a strange yelp and started limping. After going to the vet, we were given some medication and sent on our way. We brought it up again but the resolution was trying to keep him from playing with his sibling and lowering activity...didn't help the limp. 

Fast forward to this year during his physical, we were told that he had bad arthritis and he would need TCL surgery (surgery on the knee). He had torn his MCL and CCL (dog equivalent of ACL) and also had bad arthritis. The vet said "If we had gotten to it sooner, we could have prevented the arthritis...?

Luckily, the surgery went great and when he got home we decided to give him a stuff avocado toy he loves to play with and his jammies to snuggle in. He's doing well now and he finally gets his cone off on Thursday! Still a bit to go towards healing, but he's doing great and responding well to the at-home therapy! 

Note: The jammies helped keeping my other 3 dogs from licking his leg, he doesn't wear them all the time, but he will try to get his head into them if they are out.  Picture was right after anesthesia, so he looks kind of loopy"

Who really needs that annoying brother who competes with you over food and love. 

These poor doggos would rather be an only child, thank you very much.  

Ready to smile? Each week we are featuring the newly adopted pets of the week! Is there a lovelier sight than an animal being adopted?! We wholeheartedly thank those who have adopted, providing animals with a loving, comfortable and warm home. There's literally nothing better. 

We're seeing a lot of new furry faces being adopted due to the new regulations, and while we absolutely adore seeing so many adopted faces, please remember that a pet is for life. The decision to adopt one is one that should be thought through thoroughly.  

For those of you who are thinking about getting a pet, just remember; adopt, don't shop. 

If you recently adopted a pet, shoot us an email to be featured in next weeks list! 

Do you think you can make it through this entire list without crack the slightest smile? If you do, you might be a monster.

Our faces hurt from smiling at these lovely smiling faces! We hope it'll provide you with that same joy. 

Have a great weekend and don't forget to smile!

It's been a hot minute since we shared thoughts from our favorite doggo on Twitter -- Thoughts of Dog! 

Not only is this page truly wholesome but it also helps lifts your spirit (especially these days) and does a heckin' good job summing up our current predicament in the form of uplifting tweets.

If you're feeling down these days, following Thoughts of Dog on Twitter could help bring some light into your day. 

Doggos are quirky sometimes. We all know it and love them for that.

When Will Formico found out his pupper is weird too, he wondered on Dogspotting Society Facebook page if anyone else's dogs poop as weird as his dog does.

Well, the internet let him know everything he needed to know about that thing called "Doggos pooping weird", by sending him some very relatable photos.    

Weekend vibes are the best and we're here to make sure those vibes are all positive ones!

With that in mind, welcome to the wholesome doggo gift party! The party filled with good boys and girls and is sure to lift ones spirit and make sure it stays lifted!

Have a happy day!

Bring on the mushy and tender feelings! Dad's online have become notorious for claiming to not want any pet whatsoever.

But we already know how that ends. The thing is, the didn't know just how much they'd grow to love said pet. And it's quite a lovely and magical sight to behold.

Don't mind us, we get teary-eyed over absolutely everything and this is no exception.
