Please give your papillon a hug for me. Tell them how much you love them

I lost my boy today, 31 days until he turned 15. I had him for about 70% of my life. We grew together, loved together, lost together.

This is the last picture of my boy. I still can’t believe it. I’ll never forget his eyes as he passed, the way his body feels in my arms. I love you Archie

Just a classy pup

Home spa, but she's awfully soft and cuddly .. after her massage, facial and warm water soak LOL

Otto’s first camping experience is a hit!

@Romeo @MaeandRose

I just did this and I’ve been trying just holding the chew and when I reach for it with my other hand she didn’t not care.

Here’s a video I originally had a silly filter on but idk I just added the heart bc I’m like not the type to post my face on here I feel lol.

Hey everyone it’s been a little bit but here’s a happy little update on our girl Praya!

I think she’s actually getting better at grooming (starting today lol). I took her to petsmart today for a pawdicure after I gave her a bath yesterday. I also asked if they could brush out some tangles behind her ears. That part was a bit rough. She was very snippy when metal combs would get near her face by strangers. Lowkey embarrassing me lol but anyways they recommended a little kit and I bought it.

Now a few hours later I decided to try to brush her while she was eating and she’s done MUCH better!! I think the eating is a great little distraction so I’m going to try to brush her everytime she eats. She also didn’t bite be while eating with the brush was near her face but once she finished eating she went back to nips…

Here’s some more recent photos since I’ve been neglecting this sub.m 🫣🫣

Unrelated she does have a bit of a barking problem but only relentlessly at one of my roommates boyfriend. Funnily enough this roommate was also the one she took the longest to stop barking at maybe it’s them… jokes ofc

We got a good 2 miles in!

So, with Ali now rolling over more for pets, I have started also desensitizing her for checks and happened to see one of her teats was a little dirty around it. Only one, and I understand this is somewhat normal. However, how much is too much? She has no irritation or redness there, just some very mild buildup.

The other thing to mention is, it is the only one that is recessed. So, I'm sure that played a part. What is a safe way y'all suggest to clean that area without causing any irritation? I've read just warm water on a soft foam cleaning pad works?

I've never had this issue with Buddy or Rodger as their bellies have always been very clean. I am just making my sure she is as healthy as possible.

This was only 960fps. Buddy was running after a ball and Rodger didn't pay attention to where the ball went. Even did his little bunny hop at one point. Buddy's form was pretty good I think!

I have people randomly ask if they can pat Pirate and Laverne.... "are they friendly?" - I'd like to say "they wouldn't hurt a fly" - but it turns out Pirate can grab a fly out of the air and deposit it on the ground. He walks away.

Laverne then decides that this poor still moving, but flightless thing on the ground needs to be chomped on until it stops moving.

So yes, they would harm a fly. But they love people.

Sweetzer stands amongst his spoils. He looks very satisfied with himself.

2026 has been filled with passings, pets, loved ones, singers and actors. bailey wants to make sure everyone's coping!

Romeo and his Llama brother love to steal TV clickers! 😱 NOTICE - He's resource guarding his Llama brother (protecting and yelled at me) and he also ate his brother's ear off!👂🤣 Turn volume on 🙏

Beyond the usual signs of affection, what are some ways your pap shows you they love you?

Buddy flops on his side and will lay his head on your hand, Rodger turns into a floppy goofball letting you do whatever, and Ali will groom my hair.

New Pap pawparent here! 🦋🐶

I’m debating which type of comb to get and would love some advice from experienced Pap parents.

Curved vs. traditional rectangular comb: Thoughts on the curved style? I’m wondering if the shape makes it easier to get around the face, ears and other fiddly little areas, or if the traditional rectangular comb is ultimately more practical.

And secondly... is the Chris Christiansen Buttercomb really all that and a cup of tea? 😂 Is it genuinely worth the price tag?

I work in marketing, so I completely understand paying a premium for branding, but I also appreciate that genuinely better materials and manufacturing cost more. Are the cheaper professional combs noticeably different when it comes to things like tooth smoothness/rounding, finish, snagging, static and pulling or damaging those precious Pap fringes?

Basically: are you paying for meaningfully better quality with CC, or does another brand make something just as good for less?

Would love to hear what combs you actually use and recommend. Bonus points if you’ve owned both CC and a cheaper alternative and can compare them!

Newt lost his battle with pancreatitis. We did everything possibly could. After a month of this battle he was so anemic that his resting heart rate was 160bpm. His gums and tongue were as white as his coat.Instead of prolonging his pain we decided Newt needed to rest. We are absolutely heart broken.. our baby was only 7 years old.

punks love papillons too

There are so many things left to do Zzz

Love papillons so much. They are so special, sensitive, playful and cuddly. Sadly once these guys have gone, hopefully at good old ages, I won't have any more dogs due to chronic ill health. I can't imagine life without them. I don't know why more people have them. They are so friendly and smart. Anyway you guys know this about the breed, I'm just so in love with my puppys ❤️❤️

a car passed by, hoping this is normal but it's funny!

(Yes I have him on a tie-out because I have a gap under the fence, I’m always out when he’s out)

He’s a hair over 13” at the shoulder, 9.2lbs last week at his vet visit. Still a lanky teen. So I think I should keep him on puppy chow until he fills out a little. Back in the day they used to say one year is when to switch puppies regardless of breed, but now I’m hearing anywhere from 9 months to 18 months. One person told me if I switch now, he will still fill out and get the proper nutrition, but it may help with calming him down a bit

I feel like, as long as he’s burning off those calories he must still need them. His energy level is 10 out of 10 lol. I’m interested in your opinions on this.
