Adorable.

Ditto. And Diz marched to his own beat anyway. At least as far as the nearest bread product.

I love my rat-boys, but I kinda miss having to scoff down sandwiches before I enter the flat... And I definitely miss the puking, sh*tting, little sleep-disturbing monster (sob).

Hahahahahaha! excellent.

Shake it, baby!

The german shepherd looks... comfortable.

"Yeah? Whatcha lookin at? I'm lookin at you. cookies? do you have a cookie?"

That's a dog that just got caught out making his way over to the human seating area and is doing his damndest to look like that is not what he is doing.

He's a budding truck driver.

Hah!

When I checked into the hotel it was almost midnight. Next morning I look out and one of the parking lots is full of cop caps. Holy shit, they found me. :eek:

Turns out the United States Police Canine Association was there for a week doing a teaching and training seminar. There was about 40 dogs living in the hotel. They were everywhere, in the halls, lobby, elevators, just passing through, training was on the roof. It was so hard not to pet them, but I know that's a no-no.

I was walking past three cops and two dogs in the lobby, when I noticed one dog had unusual markings. I know I gave it more than a casual glance, then as I turned my head to watch where I was walking I heard a growling. I looked back and it was one of the cops. :rolleyes:

I mean, who doesn't?!

Damn...

Nice transformation to see the fur come back and the tail wagging. Would have been even better to see it walk, run, or play a little. But that wagging tail is good.

Cats? Yummy...

Hi, Herbie.

My happy doggy, Ally.

Here's a dog and pony show. Source says taken between 1919 and 1939. :rolleyes:
Can't figure out if the dog on the far left is taking a leak, or resisting the pull on the rope barely visible going off the left. Seems unlikely to pee with the tail tucked.

Awwwwwww.

... or so she could have twice as many. Selfish dog. Must live with a cat.

Oh look, Dear, puppies.

Don't mess with a French Bulldog. It'll have ya.

GOOD DOG!!!

It's a buttpug!! Get it?!

I thought he looked like a big rubber stamp. Stamp Out Cats.

This is Luna. And she likes to go hiking. Sort of...

Poor doggies...

If you hate those kinds of pics as much as I do, rinse your eyes out with this:

Quills are not fatal, and part of their education. Mine came home with a nose full and stood quietly while I pulled them out, which surprised the hell out of me. After I got one side done there was just one little drop of blood at each location. While I was doing the other side, his tongue would come out the front of his mouth but lick only the side I had done. I was amazed at the dexterity of his selective licking.

You say that, but Pilau's brother, Dante, was nearly killed by a grass stalk. I shit you not. He was sniffing at some long, dry grassstalks and one of the fuckers shot up his nose. He was about a year old, as I recall. Blood flooding from his nose and off we all go to the vets. Vet said it had shot right up into the nasal cavity and could have killed him.

Fucking grass. He nearly died, sniffing grass. How fucked up is that?

Yes, Dana.

Here in the States, these are the little beasties that send the children of vets thru college...

Grass or anything else that goes inside is a danger, even gum, candy, baked goods or peanut butter that are sweetened with Xylitol. However quills get imbedded before they get very far. Even if the dog tries to bite the porky, they stick before the dog can swallow them. Very unpleasant, and expensive lesson, but not fatal. Could lose an eye though.

One of my "original" boys (the cats I had to leave when I left my husband) was sneezing convulsively one evening. My ex was even more tender-hearted than me, although this is before I started to lose my marbles. We phoned the emergency vet - it was a weekend, and it may even have been a Bank Holiday. He said as long as he could still breathe we might want to avoid calling him out. Enormous great big bills and all that.

I have a feeling we were in the middle of a cash crisis, because we decided not to. We'd had medical advice at least (free of charge, bless that vet.)

Eventually a tiny green shoot appeared in his nose and we slowly drew it out.
I swear, that piece of grass must have been all the way up in his tiny cat brain. It was like drawing out the flags of all nations. Well, in my memory at least.

Luckily he was fine. A few more sneezes and shakings of the head and he was sorted.
I only read afterwards about the filaments on grass only going in one direction (not the band) and how dangerous it could have been.

Sorry - I know it's a Dog thread, but that seemed a relevant story.

Carrot Pilausson approves this message:

:devil:

Pizza thief. Wait for it.

Hahahahahahah. Oh my god that's what Carrot would do.

I can't leave food cooking on the hob, unattended. The only boundaries he recognises are physical. If he can reach it, it's fair game. And he can reach damn everything in this house.

When I was staying at the two Js' house in Tod a few weekends ago (they were in Dublin watching some MMA fight), dogsitting two of their three dogs, with Carrot in tow, I came into the kitchen and found the little shit stood, all four paws, on their kitchen table rooting through my bag looking for the denta stix.

I looked at him, brazenly treading about the table and I just thought - wow...I have failed this puppeh.* heheh.

What? Yeah there is, too. It's yellow, with a black nose, and pointy ears...:D

Hehehehehe. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

One of the Paris terrorists, a cunt in a bomb vest, killed 7 year old Diesel. :mad:

ARE YOU OK?

That's awesome.I watched it like 10 times and it still makes me grin.


This is wonderful:

That was cute.

Purina and Subaru are making entertaining ads now
... finally something worth watching on tv

(at least for us dog-people)

.

By the way, if anyone finds this page slow to load, I would like to know --

...I have forced a 15 MB animated GIF on you today ("ARE YOU OK?") and am wondering if that is a problem for slow Internets users.

runs fine on mine

I have Teh Slow dsl...after the gif finally loaded, it played fine for me.

Fine for me but I have a fairly fast connection. I was curious about the size and checked, then seeing how big it was made me WTF. Then it dawned on me who posted it. :smack:

Doggeh likes him some Mcnuggets...

Awesome video maybe. I'll never know.

Doesn't matter, "Video Has Been Removed By The User". :lol:

I can't remember what that vid was.

I think that may have been the dog diving for lobsters.


ETA: Here it is.

You're right he yanked that video right away, and replaced it with a longer one showing the training process. I didn't see any claws on those lobsters, and the ones up here will boogie if you get near 'em.

What a good dog! Thanks for posting these.
