The dog musing/vent thread

[FransterDoo]

8 months old next week. Time to start watching her junk.

Welcome to the wonderful world of intact Bitches???

Cajun is starting her agility for fun class tomorrow. Oh God. She's either going to be super fun or super embarrassingly awful. There is no middle ground with her. I at least THINK she will be braver than Juno and at least do all the equipment, but probably be out of control while doing it.

WHYYYYYYYYYYY


1. "Oh hey, he's barking because he's shy and uncomfortable. Just ignore him completely, he needs to warm up to you at his own pace."
2. Why you... keep not ignoring him?
3. (pursued, shy dog growls & barks more) "PLEASE JUST IGNORE HIM!"
4. Um... trying to make friends is still not ignoring him.
5. Whoops. Looks like you've just been place on the Not To Be Trusted list, probably forever. Nothing I can do, man.
6. I'm sorry you have a sad, but I'm thinking "I told you so" SO hard right now.

Wtf. Elsa is missing a tooth. She definitely had a tooth last night, and I've been home 100% of the day, but somewhere a tooth has gone missing. She has done nothing out of the ordinary and it has been raining, so she and Sham haven't been outside terrorizing each other. There isn't any trauma to the area either. Just suddenly sans tooth.

I'm so sorry for your friend. What caused the dog to pass away at a young age?

Pyometra.

Pyo scares the crap out of me. She was fine at agility practice 2 weeks ago then crashed and never recovered. Last time I saw her she was totally normal and active and now she's just... gone.

Saw Auggie's breeder while out at the store so we stopped and chatted for a while. She got Payton's mom back from her co-owner. Is thinking about breeding her and trying to get something nice.

Not sure who she's going to breed her to. If it's Auggie's brother... I'm going to have a problem.

Because I still want a Quigley puppy, and a Payton half-brother too? ffffffffff...

can only have four dogs.

It might mean no Payton puppy. Or at least not for a long time... Payton puppy wouldn't come until after Auggie goes, and that's hopefully not for a long time...

fffffffffff.

Sheltie, Koolie, Buhund...... Which one should I get next.........

(Next meaning in like 3 years)

I want one of these so badly. One random one, and one of Roxie. Maybe one of Buddy, too.

Um. I think I need these.

 

[sassafras]

Noooo their eyes are freaking me out.

Glad I'm not the only one, lol.

I am really fighting the urge to shave Summer.... it's so hard. I really want to since I'm so happy with how Mia is doing and looking.....

I need a poodle so I can shave it all sorts of ways.

 

[Laurelin]

So... I dyed Mia purple instead.

 

[k9krazee]

:lol-sign: Summer, you're safe for now!!!

 

[Laurelin]

I still have the shave the dog urge....

The dog I got to watch today is awesome. I could seriously see myself with a Shih Tzu someday. Cuz OMG SOFT. SO SOFT. And Shih Tzu smiles are adorable.

I kinda felt like a giant though. I haven't been around dogs smaller than a field spaniel in a long time, lol. And I'm not even tall.

Cobain stole the burgers we were going to have for dinner right off the grill.

Totally out of character for him. He's never done anything like that before. If it was Rigby, I would have expected it. But Mr. Perfect?

Cajun did really well at agility today.

Cajun also has bad diarrhea today and pooped in the middle of her agility class while I was trying to rush outside with her. (Most likely, all the treats I was pumping her full of during class don't help...).

It is really hard and makes you feel like a horrible person when you have to fast 1 dog while you feed 3 others.

Also, they're pretty cute.

At nose work class, my instructor had me putting her American Cocker away for her after he "cleaned up" our hides while she put out new hides. I was scared I was going to step on him, and that's the breed I grew up with. I don't think I can do small dogs anymore!

But then sometimes someone shaves your poodle "wrong" and you waffle over sharing pics of him doing adorable things, lest people be judgey, lol.

My dog is so naughty. I honestly have no idea where my good dog went. But this new Roxie is way too naughty. I want my good girl back.
