My Bichon Frise Roux, I am a cycling nerd and he is named after Anthony Roux who has just retired from a French Pro team.Pictured here is "Nalle", formerly "Ronaldo". He's a ten year old re-housed Bichon Frise that's been with me since we moved from Norway some 5-6 years ago. He used to suffer from severe separation anxiety, but these days he's doing much better: all that remains of that now is a lingering tendency to stay around his favorite humans, no matter what they're doing. He seldom keeps to himself, instead preferring to keep an eye on me or my girlfriend at all times. He's a really, really, affectionate dog.
Great post, love the nicknames and pics and good for you giving the pittie a great end to his life. Heartworm disease sucks and the treatment can be brutal. I'm currently treating a couple heartworm patients currently. Luckily these were caught fairly early and are doing well.We have two dogs, two cats, and my oldest son took in my dad's red-eared slider after he his stroke.
First up is Charles. He was an American Staffordshire we rescued in February of this year. A week after getting him, we went to the vet, and he tested positive for heartworms. In April, we had to have him put down after he went into acute renal failure (complications from heartworm treatment). I can't look at his pictures without crying, but knowing that he spent 6 months at the shelter, I'll always be thankful that he spent the last 2 months of his life curled up on my couch with people that loved him.

This is Lulu. Another rescue, but we got her as a tiny little puppy. Pretty sure she's an Australian Cattle Dog mixed with some terrier. Whenever she feels she's not getting enough attention, she drops into her Battle Stance (front legs splayed, chest flat on the ground, butt in the air) and goes, "Woo-woo-wooo."

This is Dipper. He's a Beabull (beagle, English bulldog). We got him almost 2 years ago, and he turned us into dog people. Following some traumatic events, this dog became the focal point of our family, and now fully believes he's a person. He has about a dozen nicknames, including Budgie, McDoggers, and the latest, Monkey Man.
