I don't allow my dog to beg for anything and I never give him human food as treats with one exception- Sonic tater tots. I have no earthly idea why these are ok but nothing else is (the only other treats he ever gets are ice cubes and baby carrots) but I have decided that it's ok if Ace eats a tater tot that I toss at his face every so often. Usually with me yelling "HEY FATTY TATER TOT HAS COME TO EAT HIS OWN KIND!" I dunno I guess my dog is a tater tot on stubs so they are kindred 'tato spirits. As a result, Ace will not beg anyone for anything ever, unless I stopped off at Sonic and if I did he wavers between standing on the other side of the room stealing glances at me to see if it's tato time yet, and walking up and gently touching my side with his nose. Because this is also completely at-odds with his normal "the people have food!" reaction (which by default is "I can't have any so don't even acknowledge it exists") I've been accused of giving the dog a tater tot complex.

I just went to pet Arthur and zapped him right on his silly little nose. There was an audible "POP" and he went and hid under the table, crying a little bit. I only sort of feel bad about it because he's not bright enough to know what's happening. With the other cats I would have just laughed. I did make sure to cuddle his pain away and he's all better - and has forgotten everything. Most of the time, though, zapping cats in the winter is an owner's prize for dealing with cat poo poo (literal and figurative) the rest of the year.

Holy poo poo I am a terrible mom. I somehow left an entire package of antidepressants out. Lucky for me, Shanti just ripped up the little cardboard box that they were in, rather than eating the pills and dying or something. Lesson learned, holy poo poo.

She's supposed to kill small fuzzy things, and I'm impressed that she could do it while attached to a human. I make sure my dogs behave when I come in the door. With guests, I don't care. If they allow the dogs to jump on them that's their business.

Sometimes I throw my dog onto the couch from like a metre and a half. She always comes running back screeching for me to do it again. If I do it too many times in a row, though, it suddenly becomes not fun anymore and she gets upset.

My dog does this somewhat odd poop ritual where she walks while pooping. It reminds me of the Jackass bit when Steve-O took a bunch of ex-lax and then proceeded to empty his bowels while running at full speed. I was, like, 12 when I first watched that, so it was absolutely hilarious. Anyway, my dog doesn't sit still to poop, she has to walk around while doing it. She'll do this in the backyard or out and about on walks. This seems to delight children especially. "She's WALKING while she's POOPING!!" they'll exclaim. So, on walks, I like to share this act with whomever may be around, children ideally. I've been known to observe my dog preparing to assume the poop-position (sniffing intently at a spot and then starting to arch her back) and I'll pull on her leash and be like, "Not here! Right around the corner. I can hear kids playing! You should poop where they can see you poop-walking!"

My dogs love love gummy bears/snakes & assorted candy items. While most of their treats are somewhat healthy, I indulge them in some candy goodness more often than I should.

I give my dog table scraps and Doritos and bits of ham (I cooked a 20 lb ham for Christmas and I will let Neigé eat as much as she wants if it means less ham in my fridge) and I do not care because I can feel all her ribs and she gets raw patties with extra fish oil for regular meals. Sometimes I don't even make her work for them.

I clean out my fridge a couple times a month and throw like everything I'm not keeping in a big pot no matter how hellish it is and divide it between the two dogs. Not even remotely sorry, I literally have spreadsheets to sperg over their diets with the rest of the time, on fridge cleaning day they can have 2 week old alfredo and sloppy joe meat and these weird apple preserves my coworker gave me, ENJOY

I find myself really wanting a second dog that's a lapdog because my dog is a super independent dog that, while affectionate, doesn't really sit still to be petted that often and when she does want to be petted it usually devolves into her trying to play after ten seconds. But I'm so picky when it comes to breeds and I think most tiny dogs are kinda gross. Also three animals is already way too much. My dog robbed us of a platter full of greasy chicken, and after having to toss out two beds and cleaning up nasty diarrhea on and off she's getting a towel to sleep on until there's been no barf or diarrhea for at least a week. I should feel bad about this and she's giving me horrible pathetic looks when I put her in her bed-less crate, but drat dog, those beds are expensive. (And she's fine, she didn't ingest any bones and she's still eating/drinking and the worst of it is over, she just has IBS and things like that set her off like whoa).

I like to lift Meyer up by the upper torso, first-scene-of-Lion-King-style, just to let him hang and marvel at how long he is. He hates it, and I feel guilty about it, but in my own defense, he is seriously long and it's amazing.

If you have a Costco membership or know someone who does, they usually have a couple of different sizes/shapes of dog beds and they're much cheaper than you'll get from a pet store. At my local store they're $20 each for a bed large enough for an 80-lb male greyhound, and they usually have smaller beds (the "couch" types with the rim, and sometimes oval ones too) for the same price.

I never simply give my cat treats. I always put them down in a pattern on the floor: I am delighted when she follows the pattern, but supremely disappointed when she can't figure it out. When she eats them the right way, I always imagine her thoughts as "ooh, piece of candy!"

My 9 month old American bulldog ate the bottom corner of one of my couches, my bf doesn't know. I am her bitch when it comes to some things, but I am her master and she only listens to me. She has a constant puppy sad face on, like a solid 80% of the time. It just makes me feel like a bad dog owner, but I like to thik I go above and beyond. I cut two of her nails too short until she bled, I stuffed her face with treats and took her to the dog park. One of my cats names is nigga, because he's so timid and anti social that he's definitely no ones nigga.... the other ones ( in a cart man from south park voice) faddy poo pfftt, but my bf has changed his name to gato. When I take nigga to the vet I tell them his name is Oscar, which is my bfs name. Btw pls don't ban me if that word is not allowed. Just let me know and I'll edit the post. malcriada fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Jan 4, 2013 |

I used to do this but Pippa gets the grossest shits when she gets more than a tiny bit of table scrap-type stuff every couple of days so I had to stop.  And she also poops while walking, in a pretty big circle. And then she tries to run away as soon as the last turd falls from her butthole. The poop goblins.

Dog park confession: As much as I poo poo on dog parks, I secretly kind of wish there was one here just so I could take Frankie. He's too dumb to get screwed up by lovely dog interactions, and when he gets mad at other dogs he reacts by putting his butt on them, so he's like the safest dog park dog ever. We had one where I used to live and I would take him occasionally just to watch him freak out the other dogs with his existence and it was fun. At least I can still take him to my mom's and let him play with Gumbo, so he gets a break from tip-toeing around Moses every once in a while.

I used to mix a little sriracha sauce into Scott's wet food to discourage him from eating it all too fast, because then he'd just go and throw it all up five minutes later. I would laugh at his confused bewilderment. Was it bad that I did that? Is too much sriracha bad for cats?

I feel awful about it now, but we did end up taking it to a shelter when we discovered 5 week old puppies are incredibly needy instead of returning it to the store, so there's that. Poor dog, I hope it is doing better now.
