    This is exactly what I missed about owning a dog

    I had a pretty bad day at work. I work in a hotel so I deal with a lost of guests. It's a busy time of year and people were exceptionally bitter. On top of that, the day kind of dragged and dragged. My day was pretty bad. Then I arrived at my house. Guess what? Loki was there with her tail...

    What's an unpopular opinion that you keep secret bc you want to avoid confrontation?

    One of mine is that women's sports suck. They're incredibly boring and it's because women just aren't as good at things like that as men and therefore are not as entertaining. Another is that most people are poor because they're lazy. This comes from my up bringing though. I was poor and it...

    Does anyone use a butcher to get treats for their dog?

    I feel like normal dog treats are horribly over-priced. Do you guys go to a butcher to get meat? I've been thinking of just getting some scraps and cooking them on low heat for a long time to dry them out. I feel like it would be far more affordable. What do you guys use for high value dog treats?

    RIP: Christopher Hitchens

    For those of you that don't know, Christopher Hitchens was one of the world's greatest thinkers. Whether or not you agreed with his sometimes controversial but always well spoken opinions, we as a society will miss him. There will never be another like him. Every word he wrote was like a piece...

    Let the questions begin: Crate training.

    I'm nervous about Friday because Loki's going to be left alone for the first time. According to her foster mom she is crate trained, but I think it was very minimal. I already have her crate and a ton of toys. I'm planning on spending a lot of Tuesday and Wednesday near her cage with her going...

    We found her. Our first dog, Loki.

    I like to say I'm getting a new roommate on Tuesday. Anyway, she came in and we fell in love. She's such a sweetheart. I can't wait for her to get here!!! Oh I'm so excited. Ladies and gentlemen, Loki.

    If you do, do you guys wanna trade links with each other? Maybe we can spread the word about other doggy blogs out there. :) If so, post here with the URL, and the anchor text that you'd like and we can get something going!

    I met our first candidate to adopt

    The dog's name is Zoe. She's a little high strung but she's only 9 months old. She's a terrier mix. She's a sweet heart. She knows how to sit and she loves to explore. Here's the catch. The training that the adoption place wants us to do is choke collar training. From what I've read, that's not...

    Pro tips that everyone should know but probably do not

    Tip: Instead of reheating pizza in the oven or microwave, place it on a frying pan with an aluminum foil tent over it. It's the best pizza ever. I even do this with fresh pizza. Tip: Day on the beach? Sand in those hard to reach areas? Just apply baby powder to your whole body and feel the...

    Hello everybody

    A brief introduction I should introduce myself first? My name is J. Morrison. You can call me J. Morrison. :lol-sign: I just stumbled upon this site in search for a community of dog owners with a similar train of thought. I'm actually not a dog owner yet. :eek: I am weeks away from being one...
