This is Akin. I like to think he's my dog, but I had been calling him Hakim for like a year before he corrected me so now I don't know.

Yeah I think I remember reading something like most Goldens die of cancer and/or being put down rather than old age. Purebreed dogs have their drawbacks.

Yeah like, if you're buying a Dacschund you *will* have to deal with a slipped disk and $5k in vet bills because it jumped off the couch or bottom stair wrong.

question for dog owners

do u treat ur dog as though it has human like emotions (love, hate etc) or do you sorta put them more in an animal category where they may appear to have those emotions but actually are still just domesticated animals who act on impulse?

I treat my dog as though he's human yeah, he's my bro. Dogs are unique in that they are the only non-human animal that can read our human emotions and from what I can tell most people can't even do that so you better believe I'd trade most humans on this earth for my dog.

BloodRed posted:

Snoop’s lyrics glorify violence against women. He refers to women as ‘bitches’ and ‘hoes’ who ‘suck d****’. His songs include ‘Break a bitch ’til the day i die’ and ‘Can you control yo hoe? where he describes beating women who do not obey him, who need to learn their place. He justifies violence against women because their behaviour ‘forced him’. These are the very cultural attitudes that both excuse and perpetuate actual violence against women. These lyrics trivialise violence against women and they desensitise young men to the real pain and suffering of victims of abuse.

Anyone who believes in TYOOL 2018 that animals don't have emotions is a dipshit. They probs don't have nearly as complex of emotions as humans, but dogs for sure feel happiness, sadness, excitement, etc.

Dogs definitely have emotions. They aren't always relatable because of how we experience the world, but they are there. I have seen dogs pout, get jealous, feel rejected, and sustain a depressive episode alongside the basic happy/sad/scared trifecta. They seem to lack disgust.

You won't see that as often in outdoor breeds that have not been socialized to show emotion. Dogs are still pack animals, and will often hide pain so the pack doesn't abandon them. When I worked for a vet I learned Greyhounds are really stoic in this regard. That doesn't mean the emotions aren't there.

That said I have caught myself projecting onto them, and when I do I try to do something very dog-oriented like fetch or a walk so I don't become one of those "furbaby" weirdos. Dogs experience emotions but their means of processing and reacting to them are at best on the level of an intelligent toddler, which is why good training is so loving important.

My dog Bear in front, girlfriends dog Neville in back. Neville can be a prick sometimes but they finally got along after 3 days out on the lake.



He’s a very good boy. He can be a little poo poo sometimes, and he’s hilariously dumb, but I love him regardless.
