God created the dog, and saw that it was good. Then he made man, and realised he should have quit while he was ahead.

So, this is Beauty. She is 5 years old. We got her from a rescue last March. She was an owner surrender, and had come from a home with six dogs in it, with her fur badly matted. We don't know more details than that, but she didn't know what to do with dog toys when we met her (except for tug ropes, she loved those). Her foster person said that several other people had been interested in her, but hadn't wanted to adopt her in the end. He also said that her biggest flaw was that when she was in a new place, she would go hide and poop in the corner. She didn't bark for the first month or so we had her, then she started barking at everything. She slept lightly and liked to sleep in high places at the edge of the room. She whined and barked pathetically when we tried to get her to sleep in the kennel. She didn't trust children, and snapped at my younger son in particular if he tried to pet her. She refused to eat dry dog food. I switched food a few times to try to find something she would eat, and then her anal gland exploded after a month of soft poops (probably because I was an idiot and kept changing her food). Here she is not noticing a treat for possibly the first time ever, after coming back from the vet heavily sedated:  Nine months later, she has learned to trust us and is hilariously playful and affectionate. She snaps rarely, basically only if she's accidentally startled out of a nap. When we get home at the end of the day, she dances around on her back legs with her front paws flopping in the air, and leaps at our legs until we sit down and let her jump in everyone's lap and lick everyone's face. When she is happy, which is most of the time, she rubs her head on us and makes little "mrphle" sounds almost like a cat's purr. She loves pets and ear scratches from all of us, including the kids (but she's iffy about strange kids, so we avoid them). She pounces on toys, chews them until they squeak, then tosses them up in the air to try to catch them. She eats the same dry dog food at every meal - but only if I add a spoonful or two of table food to it. Almost anything is OK - Rice Krispies, Cheerios, broccoli, bread crumbs, peas, corn, or whatever leftover meat is in the fridge. If I try to give her plain dog food she sneezes disdainfully at it and then looks at me like, "what is this bullshit?" Despite being a Tibetan breed, she hates cold and snow. This winter has been hard for her:  When I ask her a question (like "do you need to go outside?") if the answer is yes, she jumps on my chest, sneezes at me, and puts one paw on my face. After a couple months of trying, we gave up trying to teach her "down." During the same period, she independently learned that "who's here?" means someone is at the door and "breakfast?" means she's getting food. She learned "stand," but then stopped doing it unless you actually held a treat in your hand. While we're away or sleeping, she gets up on the tables, moves shoes around, chews on dirty socks, and still occasionally poops in the corner. Basically she's the best dog ever.

Went to a Christams Eve party last year with 2! dogs. This is Stokes, a Shih Tzu with a very short haircut. He was very energetic and didn't care to sit still for a picture. Ran around alot and was very friendly until this guy arrived:  This is Bronco, a chocolate lab / pitbull mix. A big goofball, and a total pussy. When he showed up Stokes got territorial, every 10 minutes they would get into a staring contest and eventually Stokes would bark really loud and Bronco would turn his head away. One time after he lost he spent 5 minutes in the corner staring at the wall, afraid to look anywhere else.

She was extremely grouchy, snappy, and not a "traditional" dog in any sense. But she was awesome and we loved her--had her for almost 10 years I think

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:My dog couldn't care less about bread, but it's wheat I trained my uncle's dog to eat broccoli by accident because she would see me eat it all the time and decided if I liked it, it had to be good. It's that whole "hey, the human is doing thing. if I do thing he will love me more." We don't deserve dogges

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:A drat good dogge and a drat good story A+ would read again. Sometimes I wonder if the Tibetan monks were breeding Lhasa Apsos partly for entertainment. Monastery life seems pretty boring. Maybe having some bossy, temperamental, crazy little fluffy dogs around the place livened it up a bit. Re: bread, Davey will eat any kind of bread but loves Papa John's breadsticks more than anything in the world. If you make bread in his house, he will loom in the kitchen doorway and breathe heavily while giving you sad eyes until you share with him. Apparently once when he was younger, he snagged a whole loaf from the counter and hid in the basement to eat it.

My dog is very food driven but a primadonna, I'm sure I'm partially to blame. I hide his flea medicine in chunks of meat or cheese and the motherfucker will still eat around it and spit it out. The only way I can get him to eat something he doesn't like is by pretending to snatch it from him. He doesn't even like carrots and most dogs do.

That dog is an experienced nonviolent protester. Go limp, it makes it harder for them to arrest you. Does anyone live near Fargo, ND? Someone needs to adopt this beautiful boy, from the same rescue I got my girl at:  quote:Name: Guido

Some day he likes em, some days he doesn't. Green apples are his favorites. He hates raspberries.

My mom spent $2000 on a sheltie from a breeder that got delivered to her house from Texas. She got it as a replacement for her other sheltie that she had for 15ish years. I feel bad for the new dog because he stays in his cage most of the time.

I tried to convince my boyfriend that Davey would be a great dog buddy for him, but he seems to think that a 10x10 living room in a 1000-square-foot house is too small for two giant breed dogs.

1000 seems like plenty as long as they have some sort of yard and get exercise daily
