Anyone in the DFW/central Texas area want a doggy? My coworker found this guy wandering around in front of her house, our best guess at the moment is a husky/retriever mix. He's obviously a stray, real thin and dirty and full of worms. She says he's real sweet and would keep him but her dog does not get along with other dogs so he needs a home other than hers.

Holy poo poo I want that dog. He looks perfect, I bet he'd make a perfect skijoring/bikejoring/deathjoring partner for Ooka.

He's a prim, so I'm sure our prez would have no problem if I posted him to our Facebook page. We also recently got a few applicants in wanting Shiba mixes, and he could be close enough for them. Has he been to a vet?

He needs to be gone ASAP since her dog is not dog friendly and hates this dog. I haven't actually met the dog but my guess is 50-60 pounds. He's been to the vet, he was all full of worms but he's been treated for them. He got his shots while he was there too. Edit: he weighs 62 pounds Problem! fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Feb 27, 2013 |

I can't get over how awesome it is to finally have a yard for Vecna  he's so much calmer and content now and he's gotten a lot more independent. He doesn't seem to feel the need to be 6" away from me at all times now and will actually just go outside and play by himself when I'm busy. he seems so much happier in San Diego. And it's nice that he can chill outside while we're working (before anyone gets on my case for this, my husband and I work next door to our house and can hear and see him all day. I don't see any reason to crate him inside when were able to keep an eye on him)I don't know how much of the landscaping will survive the wrath of Vecna though, he's doing a number on the shrubs

Dogs right behind me. Bathroom? Dogs laying with noses pressed to the doorjamb. At my parents, with the door open to the fenced yard? Dogs in the yard not bothing anyone except the neighbor dog. And I don't think my parents have any grass left to mow, just mud and dirt from all the running and playing. Whoops

Whoops Poor Sukka started coughing and reverse sneezing yesterday. I gave it until morning, but because he was still coughing I took him to the vet today. Like I thought, he likely has kennel cough. It sucks that he is sick, but it also sucks that I have to cancel trials and classes for all three dogs for at least two weeks. I was supposed to have an hour of private instruction by one of the best agility coaches in the country on Friday. So much for that Anyone have ideas on how to keep a 7mo old border collie puppy at rest for 1-2 weeks (while the symptoms last)? He's a bit listless, but by no means calm and low energy even if he's feeling a bit off.

The dogs will have a yard. Yay! No more leashed pee breaks, and plenty of room to play. $1000 says they don't hang out there for any length of time, as they prefer being attached to my hip.

adventure in the sandbox posted:Bathroom? Dogs laying with noses pressed to the doorjamb. I've learned to use this to my advantage. When Psyche is being annoying and won't settle down/won't leave me alone, I just chuck her out of the room I'm in, close the door, and like magic, she lays down pressed against the door until I let her back in. Unfortunately, I get nervous about her being out of my sight, so it's never that long before I check on her.

Thanks guy:) I wish Vecna would lay outside the bathroom! He always follows me in, sits down in front of me, and stares directly in my eyes it's the creepiest loving thing and if you close the door he'll open it. Thank god our new house has interior locks.

If someone in my house doesn't close the door when they go to the toilet, I send Lola running up full blast up the stairs to see them. She leaps against their legs and tries to knock them off the toilet. If I call Lola to me she does it to me, too.

Bad Munki posted:Well, if you need further assistance, my sister lives in NYC and while she can't take a dog herself due to a roommate, she does have a friend who almost certainly could, and at the very least, she (my sister) could bring the dog as far as Erie, and I could take the dog further into Ohio and such. Chloe Update! She is officially out of the bad bad bad bad house and my SiL is fostering her. Right now, we have two major and one minor candidates for adoption. The less likely one is a coworker of my wifes; this is a long shot because she's waiting to close on a short sale house which is taking forever. Second choice is a friend in Missouri, who bought a house a few months ago after years and years in apartments and is looking for a dog. First and best option would be the next door neighbors of our friend who adopted Tonka the pit bull. The husband is a counselor/teacher at the same facility (they all live on several hundred acres of fields/woods/ponds/trails that serve as a school campus for children with behavioral and developmental disorders) and the wife is one of the new trainers for the Guiding Eyes programs the place offers. We're really really hoping this one goes through because they would be just perfect. I mean really, who wouldn't want this?  Also, in case anyone is interested in the organization Joe works for, this is their website https://www.greenchimneys.org If any of you used to watch Animal Cops (the original NYC edition), the starving horse that was found abandoned in the parking garage went to Green Chimneys for treatment and became a resident. My wife used to drive past his little private pasture on her way to school

She initially wanted to kill Frankie and turned into an absolutely hilarious tornado of slobber and screaming and rage at the sight of him, but I fixed it with treats and now she is just looking at him like a turd to be delicately stepped around. I still don't get what her and Moses have going on though and it's kind of freaking me out.

I am still trying to find someone to take that idiot cat but no one wants the idiot cat and I wish someone would come take the idiot cat. I feed him but he doesn't really come inside unless its cold or raining. I just found what was initially posted about her on facebook: quote:*URGENT* OWNER-SURRENDER=1st ON KILL LIST I really want to know how animal control hosed up so bad that they had to tranquilize this dog to catch her in a small room. That whole explanation is just the opposite of everyone's experience with this dog. I also know that had she actually been that much of a problem and/or had really threatened someone, she would have been euthed right then, so something isn't adding up. After they let me in the quarantine room to get her because they all refused to, I was able to get a slip lead on her in like 2 seconds and a single treat and she politely marched outside with me and hopped in my car with ZERO effort and without having met her previously. I'm so curious to know what actually happened with her. Edit: The rescue ladies were calling her Cinnamon, but thats boring and dumb and we have been calling her Griff. Because...sounds good.

And WTF about having to tranquilize her and all that poo poo - sounds like somebody just didn't know how to handle a fearful dog. :/ Or any dog, probably. At a local rescue, who are great for the most part, they had a wonderful female pit (GORGEOUS chocolate and white, stunning) and they were labeling her as "un-adoptable" because she was hyper and not animal friendly. Literally, when I asked them why she wasn't up for adoption yet they said "she's just hyper - she jumps up and is leash-reactive" etc etc. And they told me that the sweetest little black and white pittie I played with had resource guarding issues and not to touch his toys - he kept bringing me his ball and placing it in my lap, and I held off on touching the toys like they said for a while, but I could see after just a few minutes that he had no resource guarding issues. He was very into playing and made a lot of noise when he played, which I think they confused for some form of aggression.  He let me pick his toys up, take them out of his mouth, etc with no issues whatsoever. People are dumb about dog behavior sometimes.
