Does anyone else ever wonder if their dog resents the fact that they have to do all the territory marking for the whole pack?
Like “I mean I love you guys, but why is it my job to do all the peeing? Would it kill you to piss on a few trees here and there to make my life a little easier?”
On top of all the humans killed by capitalism and get sad?
Like I’m terrified of other dogs being mean to him and when he seems sad my heart just breaks and I’m so scared to bring his favorite toy to my parents for thanksgiving in case my parent’s dog aggressive, serious chewer amstaff eats it. (she’s lovely with people, not good with other dogs) because it would literally break my heart.
I think he might have been abused by a previous owner (he was found abandoned with another dog who resembles him and might be his sister or mom, seemingly well cared for but unneutered), he flinches when you approach him in certain ways, and got scared when I picked up my selfie stick, and startled when I stood up off the sofa. He definitely seems a little anxious (which like first night in a new home, it’s normal to be anxious). He’s suuuper obedient (except for “stay” at the top of the stairs, he just seems to really like running down stairs). He’s a total cuddle bug and very clingy.
Cuddled up waiting for D to get home. D is his favorite person
This is Tonka. We’re adopting him. Gonna get him Friday. SO EXCITED. We met him today and it’s just EEEEEE.
Came in Staffordshire terrier size more often. I just want to buy giant versions of teacup poodle accessories
I really really hope she’s amazing when we meet her and that we get her.
The overbreeding of pets is something that legit bothers me. People who aren’t okay with eating animals are okay with breeding them to be so “cute” their eyes can fall out of their damned head or they can’t breathe or their digestion is compromised so they’re at vastly increased risk of bowel cancer, all to make them fit your idea of cute. Dogs shouldn’t be bred so they can’t run and jump and play to suit your aesthetic. Cats shouldn’t be bred to have no tails so they can’t jump properly. Doing that shit on purpose is messed up.
But I really hope someone has a dog named Karl Barx.
