So this puppy has absolutely never been inside a house before today. Born under the deck, raised in the yard  but he's doing ok.Playing in the yard definitely turns on his 'happy' switch, tethering makes him want to eat his leash, he has the fattest paws and likes to slap with them and so far, he seems to really enjoy being in a crate. Wife plopped him in there, he curled up and snoozed for about 2 hours. Play break in the yard, an hour tethered on the couch, potty break and now he's quietly chewing on a puppy nylabone in the crate again.  All of our dogs are either gently saying hi or effectively ignoring him. Tonka however has no idea what to make of this thing. At all. His name is Nori.  ETA: Holy crap, those are big sheep.

His father is a husky and his mom is some kind of husky mix from what we've heard. Mind you, the friend who rescued him knows jack poo poo about dogs, but his father is definitely a very dirty white husky. White turned blond from living in a dirt yard.

From what I can gather, having not seen the parents myself, the sire looks like this but skinnier and with ice blue eyes:  And the dam looks something like this, but with brown eyes and much smaller, only in the 35-40lb range:  So. Who the heck knows. He's probably mostly husky?

Sooooooo there is someone interested in adopting Nori, a friend of a friend to my sister in law. And the girls Facebook profile picture is of herself......in a full sparkle dog fur suit. Question is, what is a polite way to be HaHAAAno?

notsoape posted:Out of interest, what size 'pack' are the PI dog people eventually aiming for? I'm keeping one spot open for another small lurcher in the next few years- hopefully a Mouse daughter, if she does well in the field - but three dogs (two being my very own, Dan is really a family dog) will be my limit for the foreseeable future. Should we be exempt from this conversation? Because I think six dogs is our max comfort zone but, with a foster litter, we've had as many as 13 in the house at once. I know it seems like a lot when you write it down but bear in mind that out of the five we own at this moment 3 of them are under 20 lbs (does Lucy even count as a dog?), one is under 30 lbs and the largest one is a comfortably medium-sized dog. So it's not like we have 12 Maremma barreling around the house. Coming clean, my wife does the bulk of the work and training but the dogs are HER passion; I love them and I couldn't bear to part with any that aren't fosters but I wouldn't say this is exactly how I envisioned it being lol. I handle most if not all of the cat care because she has allergies. So, if we take on more it will be mostly in line with what she thinks she can handle.

I don't think she'd really have sex with the dog. She has mutt right now who is purportedly her entire life. I'm just worried that the fur suit thing is an indication of her current emotional issues. I have had some red flags, including the statement 'A new dog may be what she needs to come out of this' that make me concerned that this girl isn't in the right head space to deal with a puppy. Of course now there's talk of potentially keeping him. This may change over the course of the next few weeks when his prim breed traits bubble to the surface

GoreJess posted:What's with all the hate for terriers!?!? They're compact, strong little dogs with amazing personalities & the drive to attack rodents. Plus, the best terriers have scruffy old man beards & eyebrows. I actually like the look of most of them, just not a good personality match. I say this as Beas owner, the mutt who would gladly out-terrier any purebred if it meant killing something she could then eat. So take that as you will

Rufus En Fuego posted:Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you. I came home to poopacalypse. Beau woke me up last night with the runs and every hour after that, causing me to sleep through my alarm and get to work a half hour late. I came back home two hours later to let him out and everything was fine, but two hours after that... We had a foster last year pick up kennel cough while being boarded after his neuter. He came home and gave it to every dog in this house, despite their vaccinations. Know what's fun? 7 dogs, including an elderly one going through cancer treatment, wandering around your house horking and spitting frothy yellow nastiness on white carpeting. Also, Last time Tonka got the runs all over our bedroom, Erica cleaned it, shampooed the rug and as she was letting the dogs outside, Tonka VOMITED the poo she ATE all over the wall and floor. So, yeah. Every poo free day is a blessing that ought to be celebrated. I hope Beau feels better though, poor little dude.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Done and done, if/when we ever get another cat Well now you have a mission for next weekend  We are having another Scylla and Charybdis reunion in about 2 weeks and it will be EPIC. Mostly because Chary has a brain the size of a watermelon seed and is bound not to remember her sister again and ba-ROOOOO for an hour. And also because this will be the first time we meet Ghost, my sister in laws Sibe  So to recap we will have the following dogs in our house: Lucy, Guthrie, Bea, Quinn, Chary, Scylla, Ghost, Tonka and Nori. Plus 3 cats. Plus 7 people. For an entire week. And also note that one dog is a pit and two are prims. This is going to be some kind of beach at Normandy-level dog wrasslin'.

We named the dogs after all kinds of random crap but growing up, my wife ran an impromptu hamster rescue as a teen. And for the next 7 years all hamsters were named after X-Men. Because why not. She also named her betta fish after musical duos like Jagger and Richards/Bono and The Edge. Nori is well.....the girl who asked us to take him in had started calling him Chuck Norris. And we all agree that is an awful name but she begged us to keep it in some form. Nori was the most tolerable version we could figure. And speaking of, we keep obsessively taking video of him and Tonka but I feel like I'm spamming the thread too much because omg PUPPY so I'm afraid to post the latest

He's really slimmed down and is much more inclined to walk and romp around than he was when he was a CollieWhale. Spiiiicccceeeeee piiiiiiiccccccsssssss! STAT! Nori went for his very first vet appointment today. He literally slept through most of it, let everyone fuss over him, did not make any noise during his fecal, temp taking and the actual shots and he thoroughly enjoyed his de-worming. The only downside was the morbidly obese corgi and seriously prey driven Dobe that kept lunging at some kittens in the adoption cage in the waiting room. And the Dobe's owner kept doing that stupid Cesar Millan 'TSST' at the dog. Who...was not reacting. Waiting rooms are so dull  *YAWN* soooo boorrrrrinnnggg  His ears are trying so hard to stand up....  Also, I know 'sit' now.  And Tonka knows 'down'  Prevailing opinion from the vet staff is that Nori looks like a husky/GSD and the he will be incredibly enormous as an adult. Joy!

We have been invaded. The puppy is their favorite thing. He wasn't sure how to feel about that at first. HI BABY DOG PLEASE BE MY FRIEND  I know I try to play with you by slamming you with my gigantic paws but you really should enjoy that, right?  This one has the madness in him.....  Oh yes, definitely 'murder eyes'  Guthrie is so over having guests and puppies in his house.  Now, Nori initiates the rough play then high-tails it away once he realizes what he's done

We actually use frozen veggie bits for training treats w/our dogs. When Tonka was at our instructors house for a lesson, Erica had chopped green beans in the treat pouch and Pam had chopped hot dogs. Tonka went equally ape-poo poo for both options; all the dogs do. It's so And she has been happily accepted in to her new home for a couple of days now. Her owner, Joe has reported that she is the snuggliest dog he has ever met and is a million times more well-trained than he expected. Now he just needs to get her further down the road for her CGC and she can come to work with him every single day and run around fields/hiking trails with a ton of children! Here is a horrible cell phone pic of their first meeting:
