Same story, different version.

The pet store at the mall I work at had a girl carrying a puppy around. She said it was a bichon, but the poor thing had the longest stringiest fur... It looked more like a hosed up maltese. And it was only 650! Marked down from 900! It was super hard to bite my tongue about it.

My friend used to work there and one one morning they called and told her to take the day off. She found out later that some of the puppies had parvo, and instead of testing to see which ones had it and which didn't the owner just euthed them all.

But mostly I posted because the girl said they had some brand new pitbull/border collie crosses and I wanted to know if the dogs behaviors will be as neurotic and trainwrecky as it sounds.

Thoughts?

It took being out of his mind on a med transition with kids running around with guns all around, fireworks going off and a stranger grabbing him by his face to get Major to bite but it still put me in a total panic about whether or not he would ever be safe.


Define "grabbed his face". Like, didn't introduce himself to major? Isn't he a pretty big dog? That sounds hella stupid.

I had to go to a fiber sale today and sell some yarn and fully expected to come home to lambs. One of my usually quiet sheep spent the whole morning randomly bellowing like she was missing someone and being super clingy to her buddy so I figured she was finally going to pop while I was gone. I got home and nothing. She's stopped wailing but now she's wandering around making the weird noise they make to their babies for no particular reason. I'm hoping this means she will finally lamb tonight but she doesn't have any goo or anything going on so who knows.

I think they're waiting for me to completely lose my mind and then they will all lamb at once.

Edit:

I complained to a dairy goat person about the endless waiting and she said that she just induces labor on all of her goats so she always knows when they're going to kid. She has not let any of her goats go into labor and deliver naturally in years :psyduck:

Are you going to re-open or start a new baby farm animal thread?

I have a new one ready to go. I'm just waiting to actually have some babbies to post. I didn't want to get people's hopes up and then make them wait forever for them to actually do anything. Perhaps tomorrow? A couple are looking close tonight.

Edit:
I'm 90% sure one is in early labor. She's doing a lot of stretching and tooth grinding and going up and down. Poor girlie. Too bad they don't do sheep epidurals. I'm not saying anything is for sure until I see feet though.

So how do you make a goat give birth on schedule? The regular human injection way? What are the risks for that kind of thing?

I can't wait to see your babies. Include plenty of pictures of Major, I love his freckly face. :3:

We got a spike collar for our GSD because we thought it would be funny to put such a badass thing on such a spoiled wussy dog.

Well obviously, dogs love butt smells and febreeze is advertised to completely destroy bad smells so you just completely took away her butt smells :qq: now I'm curious as to how Moses and Frankie reacted.

So last night I had a dream where my family was chillin in the living room and my sister brought in a lamb! And I was all "OH poo poo, I know that lil dude" and was talking all about how I have seen Tiny Lamb and know Instant Jellyfish. So we snuggled it for awhile and then a dog with an unusually large gap between its eyes appeared and I was like "Oh my god its FRANKIE!" and then Moses was there but somehow the little lamb didn't get eaten, neither did Angus get his face chewed off because he was there for some reason also. Then I woke up.

You guys I think I'm broken :saddowns:

v---- At first I thought Frankie was Feldman but then when Moses appeared it sealed the deal. Sorry that your dog has a broken butt :(

This is my friend's dog Athena. They adopted her a few years ago after she was very well behaved and not at all interested in cats or jumping during introductions. Of course that was all LIES but they love her anyway. The first time I played tug of war with her I made growling noises and she was all "WHAT? That's allowed??" And now she sounds feral when she plays. Her best buddy is Cabo the chillest loving cat, but all outdorr cats are considered trespassing food.



My friend made a facebook page for her. Her email is sharkfacebabyeater@blah.com

This again is not very related to animals or pets at all (cars are kind of like inanimate pets that you have to take care of I guess?) but we are 98% sure we've just found the mother-in-law's car on craigslist. Gonna let the cops know, but I'm not optimistic they'll do anything about it so now I wanna organize some kind of covert sting operation and nail them thieves and maybe get my GPS back in the process. Husband thinks that since we have the keys we should just find out the exact location and just steal it back.

I'm having a hard time imagining what they could do about it.
