Just have the dog a none-too-gentle nudge with the foot (sorry animal lovers) because he deliberately rolled a football under my feet as I was walking an uneven path, carrying a heavy basket with no view of my feet.

Cue wife shouting at me about kicking the dog, no loving concern for the sole breadwinner or his spine.

And we're looking after the in-laws dumb untrained poorly behaved golden retriever next week as well, funny how I had no say in that but when we go away we pay for a kennel. I might be working overtime next week.

If you ever kick a dog again I'll loving kill you

Yeah idk why you'd admit to kicking a dog, no matter how gentle. Pushing a dog away with your foot is one thing but in a dogs mind theres no such thing as a gentle kick

My FIL smacked my puppy after he had an accident on the rug and I lost my poo poo on him for doing that when this isn't loving 1960 any more and that will only make the dog afraid of you and probably aggressive. I can't imagine kicking a dog jfc

I did. About 1 AM as I was dozing, trying to actually sleep, I suddenly realized that the stomach pain was gone. Slept soundly through the night. Still a little tired, but felt good enough to go to work. Still feel pretty decent after lunch (took it easy - a PBJ and some yogurt.) I hate being actually sick on sick days. :P

If you haven't figured out that AI is Pet Island 2 : Electric Boogaloo by now I dunno what to say. Don't beat your dog up over it just wanting to play. Dog brains aren't logical and malicious. They're not cats for god's sake.

My dog literally caused me to tear my acl a year ago, which I just had surgery for.

Still didn't kick him. Although I wanted to earlier when he poo poo out a pre wrapped turd. But I didn't.

Rascal enjoys gnawing on my kitchen table and every time he does i put him in his crate where he cries bloody murder for five minutes because he doesn't get any toys when he's being a bad boy.

He shat all over my kitchen floor yesterday which was awesome.

Loki (my dumb choice 7 years ago) sleeps in a crate, it's the only place he's happy. But he only feels secure if there's a little fleece blanket over the door of the cage.

He also spent nearly half an hour earlier barking and whining at a dead tree a pigeon flew out of. That's barking after the pigeon left.

E: my farts offend him, he's got off me now.
If you think I'm the worst person for nudging the dog I'm not going to convince you otherwise but the only time I've kicked a dog was when it was attacking my dog and I.

15 minutes of yoga breathing exercises has relaxed my back so I walked up and down the garden kicking the dog the ball for the dog, are you happy now.

If you lot are so good at dog whispering tell me how to deal with the in-laws golden retriever: no sense of personal space and will just barge through you if you're in the way. I'm genuinely scared she'll hurt my daughter, who is about 15% her weight.

Can't you just kick it like you do with your other dog?

Can you put the daughter in a kennel maybe?

Seriously, the best thing that YOU can do is make sure your daughter knows to stay out of the dogs way. If it's an old dog and your parents don't have a problem with it, it's pretty unlikely to change it's opinions on personal space. It sounds like it's just walking into her?

50% chance i quit by monday, i just canīt deal with the bullshit.

After the loving bus of the risers incident all my guys, including me are getting health and safety training (mandatory) over two saturdays, zero reprocussions for the bus drivers. And when i went totally loving ballistic on the HR-director for the bus line i am now persona non grata anywhere in the building except the shop. The reason i went of is that they are pinning the blame on the tech working the order when the bus got damaged. I saved his job but it is utter war out there now. I had to pull down a sign on our entrance declaring that "busdriver entering shop premises will be doused in diesel and set on fire"

On the dog note my dog now sleeps exclusively under my bed. He'll maybe spend 10-15 minutes on top with me then decided gently caress that and jumps off and goes under. Can't convince him to come back up after that.

Yea, that doesn't sound like a healthy work environment. I have no idea why they would want to pin the blame on someone other than the bus driver, I mean he was the guy who did it, and why would you want him driving your bus if he's that stupid?

I really like dogs, but I get what Cakefool's talking about. Shoving the dog out the way like that isn't really that bad. Besides, too many people refuse to assert themselves over their animals, and they get all dominant and aggressive (people who think their dogs think of them as "mummy" and "daddy", I'm looking at you).

On the other hand, if someone kicked/hit a dog of mine and meant it, I'd probably go apeshit.

I do a few exercises a day and am better off for it. My sisters back is worse than mine and she hasn't had to have any extra stuff done after she had to have an epidural a few years ago. Trying to avoid the spinal fusion like my father ended up with.

So what do all the Danish moms do? Because American moms, a crucial part of any gym's income stream, seem to require complex machines which each work exactly one thing.

It's mostly a crossfit/lifting gym, so it sits comfortably outside the standard gym world.

I figure mostly moms just go to the hundreds of cookie cutter machine gyms. We do actually have a couple of moms (or at least mom-age women), especially now that we've got mobility/yoga classes too.

It's so nice to be free of the forests of useless crap machines.

Speaking of moms (grandmas, actually), here's a fun little video:
