His hind pads seemed swollen to me. Does this look swollen?


He's a sweetheart, but with some clear redness on his muzzle and butt. Doesn't that indicate likely food allergies? The owner had him on some wal-mart giant bag food and milkbones for treats. He doesn't get exercised enough and is all wiggles and puppy licks. He made that hearbreaking "my world is melting" face when I tried to walk him more than four blocks from home. He was good and tired when I was done with him, though!

That paw pad looks weird to me but it might just be a breed thing or something.

My Chihuahua Sasquatch is like that. He's pretty much happy to do whatever with me, as long as he's with me.
He gets all excited and peppy when I ask him to do anything, but also loves to just snuggle right up to me if I'm being lazy.

He loves going out on adventures, and if he sees me putting my coat/shoes whatever on to leave he usually runs into his sherpa bag with his tail wagging.

I am the queen of France.
I also have the worst cold/virus known to man. Thankfully the dogs were at dog daycare all week last week and are too worn out to be annoying butts.

Max is incredibly offended that I am staying in my bed today and am interrupting his nap. I get the most offended looks from him whenever I sneeze/cough and he made a point of leaving the room in a huff earlier after a particularly loud cough attack. I think he's just grumpy from not feeling well himself though, he's usually a lot cuddlier when I'm sick. Of course Pistol the Simple Dog is overjoyed and it is the best day of his life that his mommy is home all day with him. Every day is the best day ever for Pistol. I wish I could be that blissfully happy all the time.


Speaking of Pistol, he just attempted to bark at the landscapers but his voice cracked mid-bark and it came out as a really high pitched squeak-yodel. I almost died laughing.

So I ordered this bottle of Feliway from Amazon, and instead of sending me a 75ml bottle, they sent me a case of 48 75ml bottles. So yeah, like $960 worth of Feliway for $20. My friend said some poor warehouse dude could lose his job over it if I send back the extra, so the ethical thing to do is keep it. :colbert:

Up to 8 inches of snow? Really? If that happens, Kaydee will practically be up to her shoulders in snow. I want to be a great owner and make the danes go break trails before I let the little ones out, but let's be honest. I'll pick her up and chuck her into it just to watch her sink.

I think Bailey legit got sick of having me home. He was sad when my boyfriend headed back to DC but me? Out the door this morning? He was like wiggling at the door, "go get the gently caress out I need to sleep and or destroy things".

The redness on muzzle and butt could just mean allergies - to fleas, food, or something in the environment. Usually the more centered on the butt the more concerned I am about fleas, but really they can all look like each other a lot of the time.

That paw looks a bit weird, but I'd have to play with it physically to work out if it's swollen or if it's odd physique or something.

Sometimes I feel like this.

I was tapping out a little catnip onto the cat tree earlier, and Nibbler ran up and grabbed my hand. As a result, I dumped a good tablespoon of catnip all over him.

:catdrugs:, man. He's freaking the gently caress out.

Leela came over to see what was going on and he chased her away from the cat tree so he could roll around in ecstasy undisturbed.

Oh awesome! That is a ton more bounce than I would have expected based on how hard they are. She is so well trained bringing the ball right back and dropping it like a good dog. My parents dogs will do that a few times but then after a bit get tired of fetch and run around chomping hard on the ball playing keep-away, yet they will retrieve game to hand flawlessly all day when hunting :iiam:

I'd call them over a mistake that big, because seriously how could you use that much? While they can't charge you for it, my understanding is you need to let them know for them to get it back if they so desire, at their expense. Amazon is really awesome though and they either will tell you to keep it (I've heard they often suggest you donate it to local charities) or completely schedule everything so all you have to do is leave it out for pickup or drop it by a UPS place. Even if they have you send it back I wouldn't be surprised at all if they refunded you for the original or gave you a gift card for troubling you with it.

You could still luck out, last month there was this guy who Best Buy got shipped a case of five ipads to instead of a single one, and their response was basically "Merry Christmas!"

This is like Gary. He's spent the day wandering around, hanging out with whoever sits still the longest. We played some tug and ball for a while, then he chewed his antler, and now he's flopped again. If I take him to the park he'll play fetch until he dies. Maybe he does have some Pom in him.

This is how Frankie is and why I secretly love having at least one dog I can just do whatever with. Moses is a constant pain because he only likes to do Some Things and those few things must be done In A Particular Order and none of those things ever involve sitting still. If I don't feel like doing something or decide to do a thing we don't normally do, the world is over because "OH MY GOD THINGS ARE DIFFERENT, IF THIS IS DIFFERENT THEN OTHER THINGS MIGHT BE DIFFERENT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME :qq:" and it is really nice to have at least one dog that can just chill out and sniff a grass and have a nap.

Vet says his heart and lungs sound great and he's probably 3-4, a chihuahua mutt and weighs probably half what he should. He was scared to death of everything. I let him hang out in the car when I went to set him up in the garage, came back, said "hi little guy!" and got a tail wiggle. His tail has a white tip. It's ridiculous.

He had a chain around his neck, so it's entirely possible he broke free. It's rubbed pretty hard too, so neosporin until it's better. He's sweet and gentle and I can't imagine him not being somebody's little pal.
