The dog musing/vent thread

[Saeleofu]

How can something so cute be so disgusting sometimes. lol this is Juno's reaction to the sound of an apple being sliced.



Ewwww.

Lmao that's Logan when he hears a banana open. He can be sleeping in a different room and I *very quietly* open a banana, and then suddenly he's RIGHT THERE drooling.

I liked an ACD breeder's Facebook page back when I was looking at puppies. I have left it liked because it's like watching a three ring circus with this woman.

But even besides this woman's antics, she has lost SO MANY dogs this year. Like...7 or 8 already? Three months? A few were old. One got out and was hit by a car. One had kidney problems. One had cancer? One had birthing problems.

Don't even get me started with the fact that she had planned like three litters, and now ALL of them are sired by one sire she didn't intend to breed to-because he jumped fences and got in with the bitches in heat. Oops litters.

EWWW :/. It's people like this who give all ethical breeders a bad name

Dear puppy, please hush and go to sleep you do not have to pee and I am not letting you out.

I found an English Cocker breeder not too far away that has GORGEOUS dogs.

In a way, I kind of hope we're in the area when NextDog happens, because I would love to have a dog from this person. On the other hand, thinking about NextDog is sad and I hope it is many, many years out, as NextDog won't happen until Cynder is an old fuddy duddy senior dog. Which, realistically, could very well be within the next 2-5 years...but I hope not.

Harlow turns four in June. FOUR. She could be halfway through her life at that point. Dammit Boxers and their short lives.

I hope she lives til she's 20 just to spite me.

 

[Laurelin]

I almost think that Summer's SA has transferred from just general to Mia... Mia is at observation at the vet's and Summer is pacing and not just calming down.

Abrams likes the new pond Mother Nature installed for us in the backyard.

Sshhh such talk is not allowed Juno will be 5 on Monday. :yikes:

 

[ruffiangirl]

Gage turns 7 this year, I'm going to be lucky if we have 3 more years.

Oh my gosh. So much water...so much FUN! hahaha

 

[Dogdragoness]

Why are there so many adorable adoptable heeler / heeler mix puppies when I am at least a year away from getting another dog?

why world, why -_-

Ugh I know this feeling all too well. Gavroche is going to be 7 in July and it's killing me. What if he only has another year left? Or even just 2 years? Him having health issues isn't making it any easier. I spent a good hour hugging him and crying a couple weeks ago :'( Even though he's absolutely fine for now

 

[sassafras]

Guys, stop. You're reminding me that Pip's going to be 9 next month.

If they don't have cancer by five I have seen some live to fifteen. It happens! Think positive. And don't do what I did with my dobe and expect him to die and treat him like glass. I didn't let him play hard or do longer walks and looking back he missed out. He was almost fourteen and everyone told me prepare to say bye around ten.

 

[DJEtzel]

Frag is going to be FIVE in another few months.

I told Jon I have to have him back for his birthday... we always do cake and gifts for him, I'd be so sad to miss out on him becoming an old man.

That said, Recon is almost TWO! Like.. wooooow. Doesn't he need his MACH or something by now? He's an old man!

 

[Saeleofu]

Yeah, but there's so much more than cancer in boxers, too >.<

I try to let him have fun and do what he wants to do, especially now. He still gets to go coursing, and he's going to try barn hunt next weekend (after he tried to eat the feeder rat I got to get them used to the scent lol) , but I don't make him do rally or anything like that anymore. All his training is for fun now, no pressure. If he wants to jump the baby gate 12 times in a row, then that's fine. If he doesn't want to jump, that's fine too.

 

[Laurelin]

Summer has you all beat. She's almost 10.

 

[Paviche]

Rowan is going to be 8 this year and I refuse to believe it. Not acceptable.

 

[Laurelin]

I'm in denial that Summer is getting older too. Just try to ignore it mainly and have fun.
