As a pug haver I can safely say that is absolutely not how they react and they'll happily let you do any and all nail clipping and gunk cleaning with excitement as long as you say the magic phrase "want a treat?" before doing it. snipe tax

I have seen many, many videos of pugs having screaming meltdowns over trivial things so I cannot accept your unique experience of having sweet angel little puggos who just need gentle hugs and wholesome meals. (That is a very beautiful wee pug, can you rub their tummy for me? My own small dog really likes to have his tummy rubbed :3)

Yes I do think that "Inceltown Pug: The Best Pug" is the exception that proves the general rule. (Amazing pug tho, please give pets on my behalf)

How many of these pug freak out videos have a pug with food being dangled right in front of it's face. My little guy would wriggle around if you tried to come at him without an offering to the belly Gods but the solution is very easy and the sacrifice always readily at hand.

thank you all for the kind words about norris here is one of the oldest pics i have of him, from all the way back in 2006! he has always been so cute. (that's hiro beside him, who left us too early and too young because of an enlarged heart.) here he is a couple of weeks ago, being a sweet angel baby boy:  much has changed for him over the years, but one thing hasn't changed: he still slaps the other cats whenever he's hangry and he thinks they're too close. it always catches them completely by surprise and it's always hilarious. it's never to hurt them! he just likes to slap.

My little guy would wriggle around if you tried to come at him without an offering to the belly Gods but the solution is very easy and the sacrifice always readily at hand. Think about it-- going to the vet is a weird torture ritual we do from their perspective. It's relatively rare that they come in with an "oof ouch owie," get treatment that's immediately effective at the removing the "oof ouch owie", and even rarer that the treatment creates an association in their peanut-sized brains that "they removed the off ouch oowie!" Some breeds have better averages and some individual dogs are just well-trained or lucky enough to have a disposition where all the smells, sights, sounds, and textures don't freak them the gently caress out but they're the exception to the general rule, and even then-- no amount of good vibes will make an x-ray or neck blood draw "make sense" to a dog. The only thing that really works is the ravages of old age where they basically come in with a fatalistic sense of "well if this be doomsday" and are pleasantly surprised when the workers just show them all the love possible in the time allotted. Gremlins marketing getting weird but I'm here for it

mind the walrus posted:You're not wrong but a vet/groomer's office is just a constant stress trigger for domestic pets. Many of them don't even notice treats when you offer because "oh my god stranger is touching the paw I'm gonna lose my ability to move with the pack time to PANIC!" We've solved this problem by taking the dog to the vet regularly. At least once a month. When they don't need to go and making sure he gets treats from us and the staff there when he visits. Despite having had a few visits that weren't a lot of fun for him he still loves going there and will try drag us there if we're walking by because odds on it's for good times and we got his back. Obviously not every dog is going to work this way but it's amazing how much a little conditioning and foresight can solve bigger hassles down the road. The vet staff either love having a happy dog drop to say hello by or are very good at faking how excited they are to see him too. Everyone wins.

And if people regularly did that then it would probably shoot the average, but they don't, thus you end up with the stereotypes of the original video.

Pro tip for dog loving non dog owning people that work in dog friendly offices. (Also probably anyone else) Keep dog treats in your desk or your pocket. Within 2-3 visits each, my co-worker's dogs now just head straight to my office. I am not above bribery for sweet office dog petting action, and having treat crumbs in your pockets is worth it.

We're fortunate that both current dogs are super friendly and love any chance to see new people. The beagle/ches bay retriever mix loves the attention and treats at the vet. Not real fond of the whole rectal thermometer ordeal. Gives a "Why, daddy?" look. But as soon as it's out, all is forgiven, and he's trying to kiss the tech again. The long-legged dachshund (best description for his mutt rear end!) is fine as long as one of us is there. He did freak out last time we took him to the groomers. Didn't even make it back home when we got the "Um, you need to come pick up Charlie..." call. But out in public he's amazingly calm and knows how to deal with other dogs, even crawling to puppies. He acted as a therapy dog to my sister in laws new beagle, who had been a rescue from a laboratory. Taught him what being an actual dog is like and brought him out of his shell. Charlie's a good boi, and we're glad we got him from the pound.

I feel like that alpaca, or llama, would try to come over to spit in my face, but would be wheezing after 20 steps and just give up. I also realize that roundness of probably all floof and not indicative of any fat, so if I see an ungulate that looks like that, it is still a good idea to stay away.
