    The Venting Thread

    $500 for my wiener's nasty little teeth. I am not surprised since I pay this like every 6 months, but **** his teeth. Nothing keeps them clean. My vet joked we should just pull them all and call it a life.

    How big are your dogs?!

    The heights I'm a wee fuzzy on. Smalls is 50 lbs and 15 inches at the withers. And 800 feet long. Jack is 45 lbs and 19 inches. Jonas is 11 lbs and 8 inches. Magpie is getting the old dog scrawny so I think she's maybe 40 lbs now, and 17 inches. Shambles is 85 lbs and 29 inches. Elsa is...

    WTF, Middie?

    Shambles has to be crated in the event paint exists. I'm not even remotely surprised he would eat paint, though. He's.. well, he's something.

    The Venting Thread

    OK rental agencies. You can't list something as a "completely fenced yard" when a good chunk of the fence in destroyed and practically laying on the ground. Then do not ask me if my dogs can jump that. No, they can STEP over it, ya dingus. Same guy who showed me the house that told me that...

    The Venting Thread

    It really sucks because he doesn't deserve them. I'm moving out in the next week or two and I know that's when things are going to get bad. He's legally entitled to ownership of Jack and Magpie, and I was ready to go through with that and just do visitations but in the last two weeks he's...

    Bleh. My ex and I are definitely going to have a dog custody battle, which I was hoping to avoid.

    You scold your dog. How does he/she react?

    Shambles and Smalls? Something akin to this: And right back to their business. Every one else offers appeasement behaviors. Except Elsa, that dog doesn't know how to not be over joyed at all times.

    Snapshot from your day

    Daycare is tiring, and choosing an appropriate sized bed is hard.

    The Venting Thread

    I haven't had a day off in two weeks, so I asked for a little chunk of time off this week. Got Wednesday through Friday off- or so I thought. Shelter night is Wednesday, I work my other job Thursday morning, and now I'm hosting a Mean Girls quote along at work that night. Not TECHNICALLY work...

    Feel that. Our work weeks start on Friday. I clocked out Saturday at 27 hours. Kill me.

    Is your dog a dog park dog?

    Nope! Not a single one, really, except Shambles. Dude lives to meet dogs and play, but between being occasionally bullied by neutered males and the shitty remarks regarding his balls I got quickly tired of the dog park. The boarding facility/daycare I work at allows me the special privilege of...

    Do you trust people to watch your dog(s)?

    I will trust my family to watch the easy dogs for a couple hours. That's about what I can do. In my house? No. With the rotation system it would take one error for someone to get hurt and I refuse to risk it. I'm sure there are capable people, but it's my responsibility.

    How "open" about your dog nerdiness are you?

    Embarrassingly open. Not for me, but probably for other people when I'm like "OH YEAH DOGS DOGS DOGS." I think people are put off by it, but I can never really tell. Maybe they're just polite. I'm dating a guy who doesn't dislike dogs, but he's not an animal person in general. He has not met my...

    Your Dogs and Cats

    Somehow, 5 out of 6 are great with cats. Smalls, Magpie, and Jack couldn't care less they exist, but they also don't like playful cats bothering them. Shambles LOVES to play with cats and does a great job with them despite being a big oaf. Jonas is sick in love with cats and follows every single...

    If it was your SO's choice...

    I've been seeing someone for like 5 minutes and he isn't much of a dog person. So if this has any mileage, then any dog I want. Until he meets Shambles and sees what kind of special dogs I end up with. :p

    Does your dog like strangers?

    If we're out, Smalls, Magpie, Elsa, and Jack are happy to meet any one. Same for home as well, I suppose. They're just people dogs and like to be paid attention to. Jonas will not give people the time of day no matter where. Shambles will zero in on you in the house, but out and about he...

    What does you dog get mistaken for?

    Funny! It's usually the mix or a "silver GSD"

    What does you dog get mistaken for?

    Smalls is just perpetually a puppy. Or people want to know what breed she is and where I got her. Shambles is a Pit, though a guy at work said there must be some Akita in him which is the weirdest guess thus far. Elkhounds aren't really common around here, so most people ask if Jack is a Husky...

    People Names, Yay or Nay?

    Really can't wait for next dog. Keith is up. Really want to name a dog Egg, too. EGG. She should just start telling people the serial killer was named after her dog, then offer no further explanation.
