I have good news, too! Beau's mudbutt cleared up yesterday so no more pom bombs! The GF got a lengthy lecture about giving him peanut butter (which gave him mudbutt a month ago, too) and hopefully when I get the fecal back this afternoon I'll get the all-clear to go ahead with his scheduled neuter tomorrow. I absolutely cannot wait until his hormones peter out. Also, he lifts his leg so high when he pees it rains back down onto him. I have a true boy dog.

More good news: I drove 8 hours from PA to NC with Orbit and he was beyond perfect the whole way. We're visiting my grandma and he has been so sweet and gentle around her and only barks at the golfers on the green beyond her back yard a couple times a day. Overall he is being A Really Good Dog and I was worried about this trip and breaking his routine (he's a cardigan corgi if anyone forgot, so he is big into Jobs and Routine) but he is amazing and I am so proud of him!

Just out of curiosity, what part of PA? If you're ever in Erie, bring your precious corgi to meet Ooka and we'll trade.

I present to you: animals with bows. My boyfriend's dog, who does not like the bow of shame.   My cat, who is a dapper fucker and gives no fucks about wearing things.  Also, they both have so much love for the magical land of ~outside~. Cat loves the new house we just moved into because there are windowsills to sit on.  Dog also enjoys watching nothing go by out the window.

Here is something happy: Apple killing a kleenex. Derp This is the only toy he will play with. He doesn't eat any of the pieces thankfully. We first discovered him doing it a year or 2 ago and I started encouraging him to do it because it was so drat funny. He roots around in the trash bin by my side of the bed for tissues. Once I heard him growling so quietly while killing it  I've made it into a sort of game. After I use the kleenex to wipe away eye boogers I let him have at it. I think he is happy he doesn't have to sneak around doing it now.

Puppy would have spent, collectively, 45 minutes uncrated today if I hadn't taken him out and gave him poo poo to do when I got home from work. All potty breaks and meals, no actual attention. Got yelled at for taking him out when I got home because he squatted in the house before being scooped up and taken outside, because if I'd just left him crated, he wouldn't have gotten pee on her floor. She "can not have dogs peeing on her floor." I let him play with Frankie, and they were having fun, but that is now off limits because my dogs will ruin her dog and she doesn't want him to learn their bad habits.

That's just so sad/maddening. Frankie finally has another doggie someone to play with and it would help burn off some of that crazy puppy energy. How on earth could Frankie ruin anyone? Are they worried the puppy with catch frankie-itus?

I do recall a recent picture with your enormous cock just flopped right out on your lap. Also Super can't you just... verbally bullrush your mum and say "you actually know worse than nothing about dogs, please give this dog back/give this dog to me before you ruin the life of another living creature." I mean holy hell I like dogs but I know how much time and investment is required for a happy pup, and I don't have that time so I don't have a dog. Why does she have a dog if she gives no fucks about it's well being?...would she notice if you put a stuffed toy dog in the crate and made off with the real one?

We have spent roughly my entire life screaming at each other about the way they treat animals. I have tried every angle and approach humanly possible. They think I am a crazy person who read A Dog Book and they think it's really funny that I totally know absolutely nothing at all about animals and have so many opinions about them. There's no goony own button to press to make them suddenly get it. They're never gonna. Logic = "puppy cute and fat, I like puppy = get puppy!!  " After last night's "what the gently caress is wrong with you, he's been crated all day and now you're going to bed, seriously" poo poo storm they pretty much agreed to let me deal with him. I'm going to be getting up an hour earlier to give him a chance to run around some, I'm going to start coming home at lunch, and they're going to stop scooping him up and putting him to bed at 8pm because "we need "us" time!!  " and he's staying with me until I wear him out and crate him at about midnight when I go to bed. I do not have time for this poo poo and barely have time for my own dogs, but she refuses to return him so gently caress it. Luckily, they are basically never home so I'll just work around them when they make up bullshit rules that make no sense about Their Dog. I told them he was absolutely playing with Frankie for a good portion of the evenings because I don't have time to sit there and play with him literally all night with all the poo poo I have to do with Moses and I need it to help wear him out. If they don't back off I'm going to go ahead and move out and I told them as much. I can tell they were really relying on dumping this puppy on me and that did seem to make them back down a bit. I'm taking him with me if they don't let me rehome him first.  After his shots are done I'm going to see about maybe getting him in half-days at a dog daycare so his life is not one giant crate-fest until 6pm during the week.

If I was ~anywhere~ near you, and in the position to get a second dog, I would rapidly and with no remorse come see you, meet your dogs, and steal the puppy...who escaped from his crate and out of the backyard...yes :P But seriously, you're awesome for doing this for the poor little guy, I hope it ends up working out at least somewhat well.

Which is making this more depressing because that guy would be an awesome owner and the puppy would live his days hiking in upstate NY and being fawned on by cool theater folk

I could foster a dog for a short while if need be (I'm in South Carolina). But I don't know if my boyfriend or his son would be willing to do that because the last time we took in a foster, we claimed her and she is now Decaf, Queen of the Upstairs Bedroom.

Major had his annual exam/shots/bloodwork today and impressed everyone with how much less crazy he is than when I got him 2 years ago. There was a peke in full show coat shuffling around that Major blew up at a bit but frankly I feel the same way about pekes. I took him to a back room for a minute to recollect himself and then he was able to wait in the lobby with the weird little footstool wheeze-barking at him without incident. He sought out every person there for pets I was able to spend less than the $300 I had budgeted for vet stuff too. Not a lot less but still a victory! vvv I've used this one that I picked up at walmart with some drum sander heads for over a year now and it works just fine. vvv Instant Jellyfish fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Aug 7, 2012 |

Took the Feldface in today to get his nails trimmed. The person used one of those dremmel things. I figure maybe I can do it myself, since he's pretty easy to manipulate when it comes to having stuff done to him. Anyone use a dremmel or could suggest a good one? Petco had one, but it was like 50 bucks.Instant Jellyfish posted:Major had his annual exam/shots/bloodwork today and impressed everyone with how much less crazy he is than when I got him 2 years ago.

I love to torture myself by snooping in the pet section on Kijiji (more popular than Craigslist in my area). And of course what better thing to check out than ads for GSDs? I found a really weird ad, for a 3-year-old male GSD, apparently ScH2, for sale. The owner is concerned that he is becoming protective around other dogs  The dog was originally purchased for $1800 and now he's for sale for $250?! I just emailed the breeder with a link to the ad. I hope they answer me with the resolution I'm so curious.

Nah, frogdogs can do Schutzhund too. This guy was BOG at Crufts in 2011, has the dumb rear, and is SchH3. I mean, he doesn't have the worst back end I've seen, but it's not great. e: I don't look at GSD breeders a lot or anything, but it seems like Canada has some really weirdly bred ones.
