All dogges are good dogges, but rescued dogges are the best

He's a boxer / english bulldog mix, which turns out to be a thing, apparently, since the 1940s. Originating in Nova Scotia, they're called Valley Dogs (cuteness beware on GIS). We've been talking back and forth and it looks like he's going to making his home with us. According to the foster family, he's got a big personality, loves kids, great with other dogs, dislikes cats (which is totally fine, we're not cat people). No prey drive or herding instinct, total lap and snuggle hound. Pretty decent watchdog (BIG bark), but warms up quickly. He had to be surrendered after the family that had him before moved over seas and couldn't bring him with them.

Can't. Wait.

Picking up Diesel this Saturday. Skyped with the foster family tonight. Dogge is all about some kids and pettes. Got a deep bark to him, will basically carry on a conversation with you - all sorts of growls and snorts and howls and yawns. Kids hanging all over him and all he did was wiggle.

Gonna be awesome.

Non-processed bland chicken and beef is fine for dogs but pork just has way too much fat and they can't digest it. I gave him, altogether, maybe a large pinch of pulled pork. Granted it was from a BBQ place and processed/flavored 10x over. He immediately had diarrhea within hours and didn't fully go back to normal until about four days. The next day he had what looked like pulled pork in his stool, the same as when it went in. making GBS threads blood as well, sometimes pure blood. It was bad.

Diarrhea EVERYWHERE.

I mean do what you want but that's just my experience with it. I'll give him very very small pieces of bacon but that's. He does fine with a hot dog or two.

Sputnik once got stuck from something he ate, and left a goddamn infinity symbol of feces on the ground.

I had a dog in the 90s who loved drinking water. Pool water, ocean water, all the water. One day we rented a boat and the family went around some of the little beaches for a few hours. We took the Kody, and every time we stopped in the water he would drink more. On the way back to the dock he barfed in the boat, and as soon as we docked, this dog ran to the nearest patch of grass and projectile-diarrhea'd all the saltwater he had been drinking. It was amazing and horrifying. Fortunately he was okay after that and if anyone at the rental place saw, they somehow kept quiet about it.

He also had the most majestic goddamn tail. No idea what kind of mutt he was, but he was something. Kind of weird proportions looking back now, but at the time he was super cute/soft/fluffy/sheddy. I haven't shared this picture in a couple years I think so here it is.

Beautiful dogge.

I'd guess either a border collie or shelty mix with goldie/yellow lab thrown in.

omg so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute


anyhow my pug, when he was a puppy you could hold on your hand, came up to me one day when I stopped by to let him out and play with him, splayed out on all four legs all of sudden, and started choking something up.

It freaked me out and I thought he was gonna die

then he spit out a chunk of wood the size of a bic lighter and carried on. it was loving crazy. I think that settled him down. Until he ate a die I think it was. A good tip for these sort of situations is to keep peroxide handy, because a cap full of that (depending on weight probably) is pretty good at forcing them to vomit everything up.

Pugs have their problems for sure. My guys jaw is a little crooked so I think thats why his tongue is always perpetually out. He had to get a couple of teeth removed because of that. Other than that you just have to keep them from eating too much and keep their face clean (ketoseb wipes) and that prevents a lot of their health problems.
