Guys! We had someone walk in the shop today looking for a quote who has a husky and a GSD!!  She'd better come back, I'm completely out of huskies at work.

Terra's best friend will sometimes decide NO THATS IT IM NOT GOING ANY FARTHER and just randomly stand wherever he is and refuse to move until they go back to their house. Terra used to never do it but in her old age sometimes she'll try and lead me back to the house after about 40 minutes of walk time. Much less in the summer when it's hot out.

Shadow's definitely enjoying the cooler weather, to the point he'll get excited to jog and I have a hard time keeping up with him. I would never believe he is 11 years old if I hadn't had him since 2002.

Max must be the only one NOT enjoying the colder weather, this morning it was in the 30s and he couldn't get back to the house fast enough as soon as he was done peeing.

Dexter hates the cold and has to wear a hoodie when it gets that cold (it is actually pretty pathetic). Once snow is put into the mix though, he ignores the cold and wants to stay outside forever.

Terra hates the rain and will scowl at me if it's raining when it's her walk time since it's obviously my fault. But yeah, bring out some snow and she'll chase the ball in the park for hours.

Delta was acting weird, whining and staring at us. Took her out for a pee, didn't need to pee. Brought her back in, she keeps whining. I look up, the lantern candleholder thing is swaying. And the light fixture chandelier thing too! Wtf?? 7.1 magnitude earthquake off the B.C. coast. Sorry I didn't believe you Delta. Sigma just layed there and slept like a good dog. Way to go Siggy.

HookShot posted:I mean, it definitely helps that she was a puppy, but for the first six months of her life she was a street dog, so it definitely doesn't mean they're ALL awful dogs that are unsocialized for life. You wouldn't recommend one to a family with little experience with dogs. I would only recommend one to someone who's willing and able to deal with whatever they happen to get.

Ugh, Psyche is doing so much better with people she sees on walks lately, but she still has a problem when people stare at her and talk to me. Which is extra fun when they are commenting on how much of a spaz she is...which just makes her spaz out more. Two women came walking at us today (in a way I couldn't back away from) and she barked at them. I got her to sit down and gave her a treat and then was going to try and hold her attention and get her to walk away with me (she's getting good at this) when one of them asked me if I was giving her a treat for barking at people. This made her freak out, snap at me, and resume barking/growling at the woman. The other woman was smart enough to realize that staring was not helping, but I still had to just pick Psyche up and walk away. I was always really good at holding a conversation while managing her when we practiced in class, but in the real world, it's a lot harder.

Sadie HATES being cold. Really really isn't a fan of it and she now spends all day seeking out sunbeams to become a furcle in and electronics to steal warm from. I'm pretty sure she knows I'm to blame for this by being a cheapskate and not turning the heat up.  Get a job cat, and then we'll talk about the thermostat settings.

A friend of mine wants to take Charlie if I take her ACD mix she's fostering off her hands in return. I'm going to go meet the dog this afternoon, and she's going to meet Charlie as well. Am I insane for taking in a second ACD? I'm insane. But I'm also stupidly excited. And happy that Charlie will be gone (assuming she decides she wants him and Pistol (the ACD mix) and Max get along).

2tomorrow posted:The nice thing about having two ACDs is that sometimes they bite each other instead of you. This is very appealing. Charlie is a good playmate for Max and takes the brunt of the bites, but he doesn't fit into our routine. He's too big, stupid, and low energy; I like my dogs to be smart, like to Go Do Things, and be a more manageable size. My friend likes big couch potatoey dogs so it works out. Having a playmate around to tire Max out when I'm busy doing other stuff is a big bonus. I didn't think I wanted another dog and fostering Charlie was a temporary two dog setup, but Max seems so much happier with someone to play with 24/7.

There's a halloween party tonight at the dog kennel I used to work at, and its the perfect opportunity to embarrass my dog. So I crocheted him a costume!   He put his head on my leg like this to make it clear just how much he hated the costume. I decided to leave out the antennae because I want him to still slightly enjoy himself, and having something on his head would ruin everything. Any one else have costumes ready for their dogs?

You could get her a heated cat bed, they're pretty cheap. We got one of the heated bed inserts for Husker and it really makes a difference for him in the winter.

It is 70 in here so I think she is just being dramatic. I am sure that I will break down and get a heated bed at some point in the near future though. What kind of cat butler would I be if I didn't?

Aquatic Giraffe posted:This is very appealing. It's funny because two of my heelers are aggressive little shits to other dogs (well, not aggressive aggressive, but they get upset easily) but I think they'd be miserable as only dogs. I really think a lot of dogs do better with a playmate, and I know for me it was actually less work to have two dogs because they spent so much time entertaining each other. Obviously I still had to exercise and train them, but they got into a lot less trouble. I hope the switch goes smoothly!

Just brought Pistol home (Charlie got along so much better with my friend's German Shepherds, PLUS there was someone at the dog park who really really liked Charlie and is interested in maybe adopting him, yay!) and he's sequestered in my kitchen until I can get him neutered and checked out by a vet. He and Max got along perfectly out at the dog park where they met and they rode fine together in the car on the way home, but now Max is being a giant rear end in a top hat to him now that we're home. I'm pretty sure it's because Pistol is still intact and I'm going to try to get that taken care of this week. He had no issues with sharing space with Charlie who was neutered. Pistol isn't aggressive at all, he just likes to hump everything. Meanwhile this week while I'm at work I'm going to keep Max separated from him through at least one closed door because both of them are capable of jumping the gate I have up and I don't want to risk them getting in a fight while I'm not home. Obligatory pictures:   He's about 10 months old. He's got floppy ears, will they eventually stand up like Max's?

Zoso wasn't terribly pleased with his halloween costume this year:  Ford, however, was the life of the party in his sassy scarf. He wore it for about 3 hours and seemed perfectly content in it.

Invalid Octopus posted:If they haven't yet, doesn't seem likely. So cute though He might not be a pure ACD so some other random dog breed genes floating around might be causing the flop-ears. Either way he's adorable. I moved him from the kitchen into a crate and Max's initial "WTF is this thing doing in my house" reaction is morphing into curiosity which is a good sign. Still not going to put them loose together till Pistol sees a vet both to neuter him and make sure he's healthy. I had him out while I was setting up the crate and he is the cuddliest little puppy. I can't wait till I can have both dogs cuddling with me on the couch

RazorBunny posted:Cats are heat powered :p Cats are heat leeches. My friends have a heated tile floor in the bathroom and the cats absolutely adore it. They love it so much that my friends are starting to question the wisdom in getting it because they have to wade through a tide of cat to get to the shower in the morning. Sadie isn't a fan of snuggling but she does like to be in the same room as I am at all times. This is presenting a conflict of priorities for her now because that might not be the warmest room.
