Why does everyone want so many dogs, ugh. Dogs are gross and needy. If I could have like two or three more ferrets though, that would be great. Just like a pile of ferrets.

Citizen Rat posted:Cats are nice for dealing with the odd mouse, but honestly they are little poo poo & destruction factories. Dumber than a box of rocks to boot. My cat is smart -- he knows more tricks then my boyfriend's dog -- and has never actually destroyed a thing in his life.  Obviously cats know you're a dog person and act accordingly toward you. You will forever be treated with condescension and poo poo by cats, you dog lover.

RazorBunny posted:My husband and I are discussing whether or not to continue the treatment after today's dose. There's no signs that the cancer spread beyond the amputated leg, and taking him in every week for bloodwork is starting to be problematic - both from a cost standpoint and because of work issues. I feel you on this. My ferret's insulinoma got so bad it was basically a choice between surgery or putting him down. I opted for surgery then, even knowing that the tumors will grow back. He won't have surgery again, and when his symptoms start to come back he'll only be on meds as long as they can keep him happy and comfortable, but no longer than that. You can treat and treat and treat and treat, but a miserable life spent in and out of the vet's office constantly is no life at all. You guys have done really great by Husker, he's a lucky dawg.

Why does everyone care? It's her dog. If it fucks up his coat, that's her problem and does not even affect the health of the dog. Even if it affects his ability to self-thermoregulate, obviously she's willing to address that.

Got home from work earlier to find some dried blood spots on the floor, including one large patch. The ferrets are all accounted for in their cage and the cat was confirmed to be spotless after a thorough flip-him-around-a-bunch-of-times examination that he did not much care for. At first I was concerned he had peed blood again, but then I realized that my house doesn't smell like cat piss and the scent of the stuff was just coppery. The obvious explanation is that the cat hurt himself somehow and diligently cleaned all the evidence off himself to save face, but wasn't willing to lick the floor clean. He's got an impenetrable poker face, though, so I doubt I'll ever get the truth out of him.

Aravenna posted:MSNBC is having a Lock Up marathon today (it's a documentary reality show about prisons) and the one that was just on had a segment about a cat adoption program at one of the prisons. The prisoners, even ones on death row, adopt a cat from a local shelter. It saves a cat's life and gives the prisoners something to focus on that will give them affection and companionship. Prison kitties. I love seeing that on the show. Even murderers love kitties. Almost everything they do is to make their cat happy.

I just want to tell all the adorable pretty kitties (and the occasional tiny pom-pom dog) on screen how beautiful they are and also that I love them, and my cat keeps getting all up in my grill thinking that I'm talking to him or that I should be. YOU ARE NOT A PRETTY CAT LIKE THE ONES ON THE INTERNET. GEEZ, LEAVE ME ALONE. <  >

I present to you: animals with bows. My boyfriend's dog, who does not like the bow of shame.   My cat, who is a dapper fucker and gives no fucks about wearing things.  Also, they both have so much love for the magical land of ~outside~. Cat loves the new house we just moved into because there are windowsills to sit on.  Dog also enjoys watching nothing go by out the window.

No, she needs to wait a few months until they are sick of the dog for being a dog. They need to think it was their idea to foist Gumbo (best name) off on her.

notsoape posted:K I actually shut down the thread because really I don't want to a) upset or b) incur the wrath of dogladies Actually, I wanted to ask something in that thread but never got around to it. I think the article said one (or more) of the dogs had been there for 18 months. If I'm even remembering correctly, is something like that common? I get that show people may have lots of dogs, but it seems dumb to own a pet you never have around, even if it is only a trophy dog. e: I would love for the dogladies to pay $10 to sign up so they can berate us. That always works out so well for people.

notsoape posted:It is pretty rare in the UK and Ireland, but more common in the USA. It's basically for people who don't have the time to 'special'/'campaign' their show dogs across the US or Europe or whatnot, so they pay a pro-handler $$$ to do it and take care of all the grooming, training, conditioning etc. Pro-handlers also have way more weight in the ring, so for people who want their dogs to be 'winningest' (that's apparently a real word, who knew) its pretty important that they're shown by the pros. I can't imagine sending a dog of mine away for one month let alone eighteen, but different strokes etc. So basically, they want all the glory and titles for putting two dogs together to gently caress, then foisting the results off on someone else to make the winning happen. That is certainly a thing.  BURN THE SHOW RING TO THE GROUND

demozthenes posted:I've never seen a Catahoula outside of a working home here in New England, but they are becoming a fad breed, so I expect we'll see hundreds of high-strung understimulated ones in shelters within a year or so. It's a shame, really, I like them and they are real workhorses and good all-around woods dogs in general. When I see a merle dog that isn't an Aussie cross, I just assume that they were some backyard bred designer mutt; merle seems to be the ~rare~ fad color of the moment. Well, they ought to just ship up a bunch from the south, because I'm agreeing with Super that they're everywhere down there.

Friends on Facebook just posted asking if anyone wants their pug. "We don't have as much time for her anymore." They just had a baby, but have had the dog for at least two years. "She's wee-wee pad trained." So you don't even walk her and somehow don't have time for her? Ugh.

I've never met anyone whose dog uses wee-wee pads accurately. Also, who wants a pile of dogshit sitting on the floor waiting for you to clean it up? My boyfriend's dog poo poo in the house once and he cleaned it up immediately, but the house stunk like rear end until we aired it out.

RazorBunny posted:The thing that has always baffled me about people who go to those lengths to win is that they're essentially admitting failure - breeding alone can't get what they're aiming for, so they have to resort to extraordinary means to get the look they want. Why would anyone want to breed from an animal whose physical appearance was surgically or otherwise altered? It can't be passed on to offspring. Maybe they're ascribing to the Lamarckian inheritence theory of genetics? That is to say, maybe they're really loving dumb.

Fraction posted:Person #3: 'If ur dog is a nipper n isnt good with children/ppl or other dogs then they aint trained properly. GOOD OWNERS HAVE GOOD DOGS......SIMPLE!!!' The amount of people who believe this is sad. When we were arguing about my cat and his dog not getting along perfectly, I asked my boyfriend if he thought a dog that didn't like other dogs was just a bad dog. You know, as opposed to having its own limitations that you need to work around. He basically believes that dogs that aren't good with other dogs are bad dogs not worth having. Nevermind that they can't help the way they are and if they are kept properly it won't ever be a big issue, but animals that can't get along like it's some kind of ~magical peaceful world where everything gets along~ are bad animals. It's annoying because he's a really intelligent person, and if he can't even have rational thoughts on the subject and acknowledge that animal behaviors are really more complex than that and vary between individuals, there's really no hope for the general population.By the way, my cat is bad and I should be punishing him when he lashes out at the dog in fear (complete with terror pissing). Also, the dog is crated during the day when no one is home, why can't the cat be locked in the bathroom with his dishes and litterbox? So much , boyfriend.

You guys, let me tell you how dumb my cat is. He's a fat pig food whore who scarfs down his food in .4 seconds, so he barfs every few days from eating too goddamn fast. If I don't get to the barf within about 10 minutes to clean it up, he will re-eat it. The other day, he barfed in the litterbox and I didn't realize -- this is going exactly where you think it's going.That fat moron ate his own barf out of the box he pisses and shits in. He also ate a good amount of litter apparently, and I realized all of this when he barfed it all up again. Animals this dumb don't survive in the wild.
