Domesticating the dogge took about half a second as soon as the dogge realized keeping us company meant table scraps to eat, a fire to nap by, and lots of pettes

Which one of these good dogs should I choose?
I'm torn (and can't get both, which of course would be the obvious choice).











2nd one isn;t a german shepard mix, probably won't have terrible hips

I low-key wanna read a book about the domestication of dogs. Started about 6,000 years ago? So Sumerians? I want to say they drew a lot of poo poo of them with dogs by their side or hunting with dogs.


So I know the Wolfpack theory was debunked but are all dogs still supposed to have come from wolves?

There was about an hour long documentary about the relationship theories between humans and dogges, that basically said 'Humans could NOT have gotten to where they are now without dog help'. It also went into pretty deep detail about how similar they are in terms of eye contact and being in tune with human emotions. I may have even come across it in this thread. It's a fascinating watch. I'll see if I can find it.

To paraphrase Terry Pratchett's The Fifth Elephant:

'The wolves were gathered around the fire at a curious distance. Far enough away to make the point that they were a proud and noble breed who weren't so soft as to be drawn to this warm, warm thing - but still close enough to benefit from it.'

Ropes and Kongs are always a solid choice.

Ropes are good but careful about the pup eating frays. Monty will have a rope for a while and then one day it will suddenly look like he was picking at the individual strands for a while, and he will eat them.

I give him Kong toys (especially ones that squeak). He's only destroyed a couple.

Kong makes a line of stronger toys that'll usually last more than a few hours.

if you get ropes, get ones that are super braided. Martha Stewart has a line at Petsmart that are much more braided and they last much longer with my dog.

Martha Stewart's pet poo poo is super legit. She's the opposite of Rachel Ray who only makes cheap semi dangerous thing, all of Stewart's are really well made, hypo allergenic and designed so if your dog chews it up/eats it, the material should break down enough not to cause blockage

Yeah I understand that dogs that hang around or follow humans from a distance living off their trash/waste survive more-so than the skittish ones. Think that's kinda what the Russian fox study was about

How about regular chewy stuff? I got a bag of hooves and they take forever to work through. Raw hide, rope, Himalayan chews, pigs ears.

There are Monty's longest lasting toys (going on about six months for both!). The green one has become his favorite recently. The purple one has a slot that you can put treats into.

Those Kong bones with the crunchy-water-bottle plastic in them are a favorite of reggie's. He's not allowed to have squeak toys, so crunch toys scratch that noise making itch.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
