I'm sorry to hear that. I know you're scared of losing it but a dog could help you overcome some of that trauma. Sure it won't last forever but nothing does. The love and companionship you give and receive for however long it lasts is worth it.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I think the only other animals we may have hosed around so much with very little regard for the actual offspring are pigeons and goldfish. People have basically bred them to have incredibly malformed skeletons.

Pugs are funny because they can't breathe. :downs:


ouf, well. There's definitely speculative fiction out there if you really have to scratch that itch. It's definitely a freaky thought experiment.

Erotic fiction is techncially speculative fiction I guess

My pitbull is literally the sweetest most, most caring, most non-violent, most beautiful creature to ever live and I love my pitty they are great pets to have around kids. I even put my beautiful blue-nosed pit, "Alpha Terminator" into the bassinet with my infant who was born premature and slather bbq sauce all over her beautiful little head for him to lick it off and its the sweetest thing and if anyone says anything negative about pit bulls in this thread I will take screenshots and post it in my local pitty moms group and if we see you outside we will yell at you

how would you describe a shiba inu because ive been thinking of getting one for awhile. i know they are high energy, but I like walking around my neighborhood a lot so i think that'll help.

This is Ringo, my boy. I have spent the last six years advising people to very seriously consider not getting a shiba inu, because there’s some negatives to owning one.

They shed constantly, and a couple of times a year blow their coats in a blizzard of fur. If you like your clothes or wear a lot of black, it’ll drive you nuts.

Mine isn’t noisy, and they generally aren’t, but if you get a screamer you’ll rue the day, the noise is outrageous.

They aren’t usually ‘friendly’ by default, if you want something affectionate get a golden retriever. They can be very stand-offish, and extremely picky about who and what they like. I’ve never met one that’s cuddly.

They’re considered a basal breed, genetically close to wild dogs and wolves, so they tend to try to solve their differences by fighting. Neutering generally doesn’t affect their personality.

In an effort to forestall the inevitable question ‘why get one then’, they’re loyal, independent and proud, incredibly beautiful to look at and hilariously funny. Mine is as fastidious in its grooming as any cat, and as needy, which is to say not at all.

My great dane had DM and was falling apart before he died at just short of his 12th birthday. He'd sit and poo poo himself on bad days. I carried him by myself multiple times. My old lady is starting down that track, too, also a dane. And the newfoundland? He doesn't like the car and you have to pitch his big, hairy rear end into it manually, but he only weighs 127 pounds. So I guess that's just nowhere near as much as lifting a whole rear end german shepherd. I mean, my word. I don't know what I'd do if I had to do that.

I think there's a perception that small dogs are assholes because the people who buy small dogs typically do so because it's "easier" than a big dog. And if "easy" is your main qualifier in choosing a pet, chances are you're not going to take care of it properly let alone train it. If you're not a dumbshit you can easily keep a nice friendly chihuahua that doesn't bark and doesn't piss and poo poo everywhere, but unfortunately a huge percentage of chihuahua owners are dumbshits.

For example my in laws had a terrier that was barely house trained and got violent over food. After a month of house sitting for them while they were overseas they were amazed when they got back to find that their dog didn't suck anymore, because I didn't just let it do whatever it wanted.

They didn't keep up any of the training though so the dog very quickly reverted to being a little poo poo lol

Okay okay



I feel like this is a better, happier representation of the thread. And the aforementioned 12.5 year old lady dane up above. Who was overjoyed to have a caterpillar as big as she is (it's bigger, don't tell her that)

No one can be dogist against her because look at the pure joy on her face, yall.

hmm, difficult to train, hair everywhere, but ultimately rewarding as long as you aren't looking for a lap dog.

thats pretty much what i expected, so ill make sure i have enough time to train one if/when i get one.

Something I never really understood is when it comes to breed personalities and behaviors people are very willing to talk about how x/y breeds are smart or get bored easily or do well in apartments vs don’t do well in apartments, couch potatoes, high energy, nervous, calm, pretty much any vector of physical or mental behavior you can name but when you suggest some breeds are more prone to aggression or bred specifically to hurt things more when they randomly attack a toddler they think you’re dog racist or something and suddenly it’s 100% nurture and 0% nature.

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
I'm not dogist based on size or color but I do think any dog that has that scraggly or curly fur is a horrible little piece of poo poo.

That I love and want to pet and be best friends with, but I'll never understand why their owner chose them over like any other type of dog.

The bichon frise is a garbage dog, that if met in the wild I would probably instantly love more than most humans, but a garbage dog all the same.
