Fraction posted:Duh, she always is stoned. well she's on vacation so I can't get new photos. maybe I have some good old ones somewhere I had a dream I was at the dog park last night and some ladies dog (looked like a Weim) decided it didn't like me and latched onto my arm, so I had to drag it over to her and ask her to remove her dog from my arm. I was remarkably calm about it, whereas in real life I'm pretty sure I would be pissed as gently caress

I'm saying get her dog taken away if it's attacking other peoples dogs and she refuses to control it We can be all bloo bloo about this up to the point where the dog kills another dog at the dog park and then what e: also because the lady isn't gonna give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck if you just show up and tell her that her dog is causing problems

Well yeah I was being a bit flippant, it's just that judging from the one example we have it doesn't seem likely she's going to agree with you if you ask her to please not bring her dog to the park, but if it's consistently attacking a dog then that's kind of an issue and should be dealt with, and yeah they probably won't do anything crazy the first time or anything but so I ramble on

notsoape posted:I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, it seems a little unfair to the dogs - especially if they're perfectly good pets, and bonded to you already. On the other hand, if you're committed to a particular sport it makes sense that you wouldn't want to keep a third wheel hanging around - especially if the sport/hobby takes up most of your free time, and a non-competitive dog would end up being comparatively neglected. I guess I can see both sides, but I'm wondering how PI feels about it? I don't really think people who are that into "dog sports" really think of dogs the way that most people do...as pets or companion animals. They are somewhat just another tool to use in that persons chosen hobby. And I'm an rear end but I do kind of fault these people for how they handle this because it feels like another step beyond our every day selfishness (as consumers and pet owners in general) and into the realm of directly manipulating the lives of dependent animals for your own satisfaction and ditching them when they no longer meet your requirements. But the effort to flesh this out into a fully qualified, defensible idea, is beyond me at the moment and probably is more nuanced than most people care about.

Went hiking yesterday with Greta. Mostly along a river that was swollen from the huge storm we had on Friday, but she had a good time and only fell in once (she was trying to look at something in the water and didn't realize the grasses near the edge weren't actually solid ground. We pulled her back out easily) Not sure she was expecting 10 miles of hiking but had no problem with it  She sat like that for awhile to make sure I could get a picture, apparently   One of a bunch of streams that enter the river. She was waiting for a stick to be thrown http://imgur.com/a/PIdq2

Fraction posted:Greta We got her through an Aussie rescue when she was a puppy, but yeah she doesn't totally have the "classic" Aussie characteristics. The tail is of course a result of us getting her as a puppy, so it wasn't docked, but she's never fluffed out like a lot of Aussies do. She's also quite small, and we get a lot of people saying "I wonder if she's Border Collie, they're usually smaller than Aussie's" but I don't think that really makes sense. There's probably some way to tell from the shape of her head or something, but whatever. Some kind of herding dog, maybe a mix of them, who knows! she's currently sitting half on the couch and trying to sleep. She hasn't been too energetic today so I think she's still recovering from yesterday. I think the furthest hike we'd done before that was 4-5 miles, but she was pretty game. Of course she found plenty of smelly things to roll in and it took us 10 minutes to pick all of the prickly seeds out of her fur when we got home...and I've found at least two ticks on her, but such are the dangers of going outside your door

I could also be dumb but I thought it was mentioned that the dog was shaved because temperatures were reaching the unbelievable heights of 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) but the post seems to have been edited for our safety and maybe I'm wrong

My dog has doggy-aspergers (internet diagnosed of course) and isn't so interested in other dogs for the most part but holllllllllllllllly gently caress does she love some goddamn frisbee. I was throwing her frisbee for her yesterday and some guy came by, walking his two dogs off leash (this was in a park so whatever) and his weird pug/bulldog looking thing just was so drat excited to see Greta and was trying so hard to get her to play and she just straight up cold shouldered him the whole time and stared at me, waiting for the frisbee, while this other dog contorted itself in a grotesque attempt to get her attention.

Greycious posted:I only need 267 chickens. So that means I only need to order another 259 to keep my lawn properly maintained..... I was on a long bike ride out into the Maryland countryside last Sunday, and road past what appeared to be a free range chicken farm. So we're talking relatively small, but still a decent amount of chickens. Holy loving god did it stink. Chicken poo poo must be the worst substance to come out of an animals rear end (or cloaca in this case) Superconsndar posted:I really hate the Beef you guys. I've been working him for like less than a week but by now I usually see him slimming down and tightening up a lot. He's getting a little muscle back, but...he's just so broad and beefy and wide and. I knew this was going to happen, but I didn't think it would be this sudden or extreme. Should have neutered him so he didn't beef up  Annd a story. There's this dog named Jake that we occasionally see at the dog park. Some kind of border collie mix, and he loves to herd things so much. And by things I mean my dog while she chases a frisbee. He does not want the frisbee at all, never attempts to take it, but he thinks it's the best thing in the world to run after my dog while she chases it, then loop behind her and trot back while she returns it. Then he'll stop and stare at you until you throw the frisbee again. It's pretty funny, and after she realized Jake has no interest in her frisbee or bothering her, Greta just ignores him.  I have a video too but I'm too lazy to make a video account somewhere so whatever

a life less posted:I don't know what it is about small dogs. I probably have ten times as many people try to approach my Chi than Cohen (who is prettier, friendlier, and better behaved). Small dogs are more like cats, right? And cats go in the house. Also, small dogs don't pee or poo poo as much as big dogs. Also also, people like cute small things because they remind them of puppies. That's why small dogs are more popular
