Yaay Pistol and Max! We had some fun in the pre-blizzard snow accumulation. Supposed to have 1-2 feet by tomorrow, so hopefully will get more pics of the great white land shark.

Bash Ironfist posted:She said no training, but if you know of something that has little to no movement, I'd give it a shot! She wants him to use that leg as little as possible. You could try something simple like teaching him to touch your hand with his nose. He could do that laying in your lap without actually moving more than his neck. You could also try teaching him to bark/stop barking on command while he's sitting on or next to you with no movement, but he's a Boston so ymmv. Both of those would be neat things for him to learn and could help shape future behaviors if you want to train him to do other stuff, and he wouldn't really have to move around. Of course, if he got all excited and wiggly, you would have to stop. Or you can do what I'd do and plop down on the couch and watch tv together like lazy bums. It is much easier...

She's flying! I'm trying to pretend its almost spring as it's blizzarding here by looking up lamb pictures from other farmers we've bought from. This is the ram one of my romeldales was bred to as a chunky monkey newborn:   One of my cormo girls as a bottle baby. Her mom was racist and didn't want to raise white lambs. She was not tricked by the black coat.  April needs to hurry up and get here so I can cuddle baby lambs again.

So my friend and I went out to a bar tonight to have a drink and whine about our lovely week together, and there was this dude there with a 7-week-old pitty puppy in his coat, just hangin' out at the bar. welp.

Best way to socialise the hell out of that puppy. I've been at an Ian Dunbar seminar this weekend and he would applaud that guy. He told us stories of walking everywhere with Hugo his Frenchie when he was 6 weeks old, going to the bank, grocery store, etc. (Never going down on the ground to minimise risk. A 7 week old puppy is likely to have some maternal immunity still anyways.)

Was it a pressure fit one for inside the doorframe, or one that hangs over the back of the door? Fraction fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Feb 9, 2013 |

Superconsndar posted:Well I just raged the hell out to my poor partner at 2am about how stupid that entire story is oh my god The update at the bottom makes more sense for a random bully breed/mastiff-y mix: article update posted:While attempting to break up the fight, the woman sustained severe bites. "She is fortunate to have escaped that attack with her life," said Animal Services Supervisor Mike Duncan. "She loved the dog, but she is very concerned for anyone who is going to be around that dog from now on." Although the dogs owner said that the person's wounds didn't require stitches which probably wouldn't be the case if she had severed arteries and poo poo. I can see it either way. The owner is going to see their dog as a precious angel who would never touch a hair on a person's head, and maybe he wouldn't under normal circumstances, but all the tests he's been through just test HA, while the situation makes it sound like it was a case of DA and redirection. I still don't think he should be put down but if what the person who was attacked said was true I'm not sure I would be comfortable with him remaining a service dog in public. It's a lovely situation all around.

And take a billion snow pictures so I can grab the mutts, point at the pictures and go "If I had my way, that's what you'd be dealing with!"  And because snow dogs are awesome.

That's what I thought was "well at least it's good for socialization," I was just thinking he probably bought the puppy too young from some idiot on Craigslist or something because I am a horrible, judgemental person. Maybe he found it abandoned I dunno. At least it had a little sweater on it to keep it warm.  but yeah no he was probably def using it at least a little to pick up chicks

The store my office is based from hosts cats up for adoption. Before the storm made driving impossible yesterday morning, I drove in to finish some work and grabbed one of the cats to keep me company. He made himself right at home.

After about ten minutes she wanted to come back inside because her underside was caked with refrozen snow. I might have gotten some good pics that I'll post later (letting camera warm up slowly). Tomorrow is supposed to be like 30F, so I bet she'll want to stay out longer.

He stands there, grimmacing until we clear enough for him to piss on the side of the garage and go back inside. We're still under a travel ban here, so he's been very happy to spend the day inside with his people.

It's rainy outside so we played inside today. This is Pistol's "Yay baaaaall!" face.  I ended up throwing the ball up the stairs so Pistol would have to run up the stairs and then back down to get the ball and bring it back to me to wear him out faster. Will this do any damage to him? Max took one look at that game and decided not to participate because he's a smart dog.

He's a special creature. He always pulls some stupid face when anyone tries taking a picture of him. But here's a picture of him looking cute but still special, on about my fifth try taking a picture of him  Edit: He's back to being special again. I got him a tire toy to chew on, and he's been playing with it by himself for a while. He was just running around like this:  Yes that is the tire toy around his nose, blocking his vision. Didn't stop him from running. Problem! fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Feb 10, 2013 |

Don't bother looking him up on OFFA, he's way too obviously healthy for any bullshit testing. He can even move sometimes!
