There's a definite rise in popularity right now and it's well deserved. Fattledogs are cool as gently caress.

PI latches on to nothing. Go to AI and say you're driving without brakes but list a bunch of tires that you want to replace and see how fast they go "holy gently caress you are a piece of poo poo for driving without brakes". Go to TFR and post pictures of your 3 year old holding a gun and ask which ammo is the best for a kid to shoot and casually mention that you think the kid's arm might've been broken when she shot the 12 gauge but you ain't too worried because things like that heal up and see what they do. Go to PSP and say everything WWE does is magic. Go to Games and ask which console is best. Hell, go to our arch nemesis Coupons and ask them how to start couponing.

Literally all of the other subforums tear you apart for being a willfully ignorant piece of poo poo that puts the well being of others in danger or when you share retarded opinions or ask retarded questions. We generally try to answer the enormous amount of retarded, repetitive questions that we're given politely so long as they're approached politely but when you post a loving picture of a sausage dog that's 100 years old and looks like garbage with a whole fuckin sob story and a list of medical issues, saying "hey your dog's kinda fat maybe you should feed it less?" is way nicer than any other subforum would react to equivalent bullshit.

It's nicer than I'd have been.

I'd have called the piece of poo poo dog a fuckwaste and told them to tear it's gunt off and use it for bacon because that fucker's ready to go to slaughter by the look of it's piggy rear end.

You know.

If I wasn't trying to keep up the bullshit fluffy bunny continuity. Sometimes.

And it wouldn't be out of place on any subforum here. Hope that helps!

Oh and Dyna Sore (rear end) is one of the worst posters I've ever seen in my life. Every time we try to help that little cuntbucket it cries and cries and screams and stomps. I can't buy a crate. I can't wall off a room. My dog must be a free and wilde beast but how do I get it to stop destroying stuff while I'm gone?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It is impossible. All of our dogs do the same. I just let Amy eat KD. I didn't have to feed her kibble for a week. What else was I supposed to do? It's not Dog Ownership people. It's Dog Friendship. Friends don't put friends in CRATES and ROOMS. That's IMPRISONMENT.

It's just that round here people will believe almost anything is purebred staffie, including my dog (which very much isn't pure anything) so I was curious, especially since a cursory Google when I had a moment said 'absolutely no curly tails' for them.

My dog has had diarrhea for about a day now and it's finally calming down enough for me to feed her. Most places suggest plain white rice and chicken breast, but the chicken allergy is what got us into this situation. Would plain lean ground beef be an acceptable thing to feed while her stomach is recovering?

This got semi overlooked so hopefully it's cleared up by now, but fwiw I don't know how good a substitute for chicken breast lean beef would be, unless it's extra lean. For future or current reference, pumpkin also works well to harden stool. Sometimes at work if we have a dog with really bad shits we'll mix in both rice and pumpkin :)

Canned pumpkin that's JUST pumpkin. Not the pumpkin pie filling stuff because the spices can bother a dog a bit more. I keep a can on hand just in case. Works great for diarrhea, works pretty good for constipation.

I'm talking about the degree of hellfire blazing. However you feel about Whirled Peas, at least now in GWS, other regulars tell the assholes to simmer the gently caress down. When a newbie is being particularly egregious, we have cook offs. In YLLS, people are pretty crass, but no one tells someone else to go die or anything like that - it's usually just, stop being a baby and harden the gently caress up. Or, if you do this you will likely die, we can't stop you tho so have fun.

:shrug:, yall do whatever the gently caress you want. It doesn't bother me, I appreciate free advice from professionals and I don't expect to have it delivered to me in the manner I would if I was paying for it. It doesn't change reality as I perceive it though.

Third time is a charm right?
Witnessed one of the worst dog attacks I've ever seen at the dog park today. These two old ladies had two older little bischons that I noticed earlier would bark and get really aggressive if any dog came close to their owners. They growled at my dog, he got spooked and came back towards me and we went our separate ways. They were aggressive towards a few other dogs but I thought nothing of it. Little dogs can just be that way sometimes.

Probably 30 minutes later, at the other end of this huge off leash park I hear this blood curdling growl and screams in the distance. I see one of the older ladies pick up her bischon and a generic medium sized yellow mutt is attacking the little dog and won't let go. It's starting to thrash the little dog violently (still in the arms of the old lady).

The owner is trying to pull him off and it's not working, she's pulling with all her weight and just can't get her dog to let go. I'm pretty sure she was bit afew times in the process. A guy jumped the fence and tried to bear hug it from behind and choke it out but the dog still wasn't letting go. A second guy jumps in and it takes him punching the dog in the face a few times for it to let off.

Apparently, one of the little bischons got aggressive towards mutt and the mutt attacked. It's crazy how strong a 50lb dog can be. It took three people to get the dog to give up for just long enough to let go. I left before the cops came.

Crazy stuff.

On a side note, I'm taking my dog camping for the first time tomorrow. I hope he enjoys it.

Yeah, I had pumpkin ready to go too, but my dog is a picky little rear end in a top hat so I wanted to make sure I had some meat to add in. She did well with 97% lean beef, mixed with rice and pumpkin. Thank god, because she's a little too big for the largest size dog diapers and a dog that massive can make a lot of squirts.

And this is why people letting their little dogs be aggressive little shits because "it's cute he thinks he's a big dog tee hee" is one of my pet peeve soapbox issues about dog ownership. Even if the little dog started it the big dog always gets blamed.

Another reason why I'm uneasy is seeing people bring their small children to the dog park. Personally it seems like a recipe for disaster but then again I don't have kids so it's easy for me to say "don't bring your kids here".
