Yeah but the instagram likes!
Yeah, and you see people going on about how “cute” it is to hear them panting and struggling to breath like that. Horrible.
I can kinda forgive ignorance on the part of your average dog buyer but when you have huge ‘legitimate’ organisations like the kennel club defining breed standards and effectively perpetuating the misery of these poor animals it’s not likely to improve anytime soon.
Until recently I thought that purebred dogs were healthier than mutts because they are purposefully bred. Oh, how I got schooled!
Honey hates water. Doesn’t trust it at all. Place we were just staying at had its own lake and a rowboat. Whenever anyone went out on the lake she spent the whole time sat by the edge watching and whining.
Good effort!
Is your parents dog called pudding?
Yep! When they got her she was the fat one of the litter and already had that as a nickname. The other pups were just called by the colour of their collar so obviously they chose Pudding
I encountered this old boi - bit worried, as he didn’t have a collar and was pottering around on his own. It’s in a cul de sac and a lady was on her doorstep talking on the phone, hopefully he’s hers and just wandered out for a bit.
Dunno whether to go back and check in case he’s still there? And what do I do if he is?
