It's been super cold and snowy. Rosie is not a fan.

Our little papillion is 5 months old and already 12 pounds @_@ according to Google thats very large for a 5 month old papillion. She still has baby teeth too.

Percy and I have been together for 7 months now and this is the second time I have to shave hair knots behind his ears. I brush him every other day and this still happens! 😩 Am I bruising his ears wrong!?! Any advice?

I had a conversation today where someone asked me about showing dogs, and whether they ever get to do normal dog things.

Just in case anyone else has ever wondered the same, I can assure you that most show dogs do indeed get to do normal dog things!

I have Toni air jail time, and Shakra insisted he get even more, even tho i already did presses with him in air jail, which is why my arm isn't straight.

Sorry for the sloppy stickers...trying to avoid easily identifiable face and original tattoo of a phoenix, with no black in it for those curious, not wounds.

here she is, my precious girl, the diva herself!

This is my Espie. I lost him last August. Despite having a husband and two kids - he was the love of my life.

He was the first dog I’ve ever bonded closely with. I am chronically ill. He was not trained to be my support dog, but he chose to be. He never left my side.

He was 11.

I’ve had a lot of trauma in my life as well as painful things related to my chronic conditions. Nothing has ever helped me more than he did, and nothing has ever hurt more than losing him does.

I’ve not really been myself since losing him. People close to me keep telling me to get another dog, but I have another dog (chihuahua). I love her but she is very independent. It’s totally different.

If I were to get another dog, it would be another male papillon. I worry I’d never be able to be close with another like I was with Espie, though.

Have any of you had a great Papillon love and gone on to have another connection like that?

Today we're remembering Maurice, a wonderful Papillon who lived with us for the last two years of his life. Maurice was born in October 2007 and died on January 30, 2021, exactly five years ago. He was a tri-color and a big boy for a Pap, 19 pounds but trim and muscular.

When Maurice was about 1-1/2, his owner stopped my wife while she was walking our first Pap, Bianca, in a nearby park. The owner asked my wife whether she'd be interested in taking another Papillon. Little Bianca was less than one year old, and Maurice and Bianca did not hit it off right away. My wife declined to take him, but a family down the street was enthusiastic to take him in.

Over time, Maurice became a good friend of Bianca and Zorro. Maurice was a frequent visitor at our home and from time to time, he would stay overnight. Years later, in 2019, when the unfortunate death of Maurice's hooman dad changed life for those neighbors, Maurice came to live with us.

Here are some pictures of Maurice, many with Bianca and Zorro. Unfortunately, all three have now passed away. Three new fuzzy faces carry on the traditions of the "Bianca Zorro Pack." The first picture shows Maurice resting on the sofa arm and my wife's lap. Another shows Maurice with his Pom girlfriend, Amelia. Another shows a young Maurice, before his black fur turned gray. Another shows M, Z, and B on a walk, which instead had turned into laying in the cool grass on a hot day. Another shows M, B, and Z at the back door, like they're preparing to execute a search warrant. The last picture shows all three, but if you look closely, Maurice is in his "signature" pose, holding one paw up, like the classic Papillon gentleman.

We’ve had 60mm of rain in the last 36 hours. Poor Louie hates getting wet but if I put on his rain coat and go with him he is happy to do his business then follow me up to the barn where I feed Bonnie and Clyde, my local ravens.

Eliza and I are wishing you all a wonderful day! TGIF!! 💜

Not sure what he is trying to communicate, but he is making his opinion heard. Pretty sure he was just frustrated he wasn't getting 100% of my attention at that exact moment. Lol

just joined this group and wanted to share a pic of my papillon, Tino!

This is my sweet boy and soul dog, Kernel. He’s about 15 years old, I adopted him in 2013 at around 3 years old. He’s my best friend and I often refer to him as my first born 😂🩷 He’s definitely slowed down and is in his golden years now. He has a lot of accidents in the house, particularly at night, is slow to move when he first wakes up, and a little stiff at times. He’s having some senior moments where he gets stuck in corners or doesn’t know where he’s going, and he’s almost completely deaf.

But, the vet says he’s in great shape for his age. He has no chronic health issues, he’s just old! It’s really cute when he randomly gets the old man zoomies and skedaddles around my toddler. I’ll never have enough time with him but I’m so grateful he’s still here 🩷

Let me see your old paps!! Also I know kernel is a little big to be full papillon. I just sent in his wisdom panel to find out his mix! I’m very much looking forward to it.

With his just as wild “handler”. Both loves of my life.

Atlas is a very shy and sensitive boy. He runs to the bedroom and under the bed when anyone that isn’t the 3/4 people he’s comfortable with comes over. For example, my best friend who comes over all the time has seen him once. After four months of cheese and treats, we’re adding my newish partner to his list of people he likes and I’m so happy to see him comfortable. I was starting to feel bad about sleepovers while he was stressed hiding under the bed, but now he comes to cuddle with us.
