New years edition.What plans do you have with your dog for 2025?
>>4927993Least deranged dogfag
>>4927993>>4927994Oh, the catfaggot is doing the falseflag-samefag thing again. Just like when that last time when it pretended to be leos owner on /trash/ and then linked it here as "proof". Someone somewhere must have told them to keep their cats inside.
I miss him so much but ill visit him soon
>>4927991I'll take her to the lake and let her splash around in the water. She loves doing that though she starts attacking her water bowl and makes a mess.
>>4928033you're going to kill yourself over a dog?
Rate my borzoi.
>>4928057Nta but my dog is probably the only reason why I haven't killed myself. Also I don't have a gun
>>4928033>>4928057Only in Ohio
How do I stop my dog from chewing up literally anything she finds on the table?I'm usually good about keeping everything locked up now, but she'll eat literally anything she finds when I'm not looking.She's chewing up cans, glasses, surge protectors, measuring cups, etc...She's not eating them but the destructive habit is annoying and I can't watch her 24/7Should I just start leaving peppers and shit on tables so she'll stop?
>>4927991None, he passed on new years eve. I'm a fucking moron, mouldy old coffee cup left outside that blew over in the wind. Must have ate it, mycotoxic poisoning. Cannoli the whippet, pls remember him for me and heed this warning, check everywhere for possibly lost food or neglected cups. If remembering me as a fucking moron helps you then so be it. This is the only post I've bothered waiting 900 seconds for and probably will ever be
>>4928082Is the danger them breathing in moldy air or eating from the moldy container (or the moldy food itself)?
>>4927991My plan is to get my dog to stop being a little turd bucket and walk at my side better. Crazy to think he is already 7 months
>>4928085Jeez, idk anon, but for humans it's all of the above. Please don't expose yourself or your animals to mold. T.anon who lived in apartment with black mold for 12+ years because poverty. Moved when I got dogs. Everything has improved.
can a newbie train a border collie adequately (simple tricks and commands, be obedient, etc)?
>>4928057No i said id "visit" him soon "visit" is a temporary state he's alive with my mom lol
In about 5-9 months I'm hoping to breed my dog. How would you recommend I go about finding a stud for her? I want her offspring to be taller than her, and if possible be healthier/live longer than her.
>>4928104She’s built for my dick
>>4928103Kek only on /an/ is the default assumption suicide.
>>4928108She sure are.... DAVE...!!!! No, idfc if I get banned for 30 days. You disgusting pajeet animal fucker mods let zoofiles live the good life here, while "normal" animal loving autists have to wait 18 mins for the fucking pajeet code to come clear if we don't post on /an/ every 24 hours, and while waiting for 18 mins to post an innocent dog post, we get destroyed by fucking zoofile jannies and mods. I hope all zoofiles gets skinned alive. I would happily do it myself. I have a remote 1700's cellar with chains, and I have a skinning knife. I have posted them here on /an/ before. I will gladly let zoofiles, jannies and mods slowly waist away there. Words can't describe how much you disgust me. I haven't taken pleassure in sex for over 15 years. Your screams of agony will be my reason for not killing myself, and your desperate pleading will be my way to orgasm. Fucking DIE zoofiles and jannies!!!!
>>4928126Cool story bro
>>4928129Aw, you wanna fight, little pathetic zooofile? You're probably not *the* dogfucker, then. Cause I have his full name, adress and phone number. Just because it's two years ago, doesn't mean I don't have the info saved. What was it again, Virginia?
>>4928137I will beat your zoophobic ass
>>4928137i think this is real, not because you said his name, but because that is THE face and hair i would imagine a virginia zoophile to sport on his way to his dayshift at the grocery store.
Oh cool the catfags are raiding againSimultaneously begging a mod to move /dog/ to trash no doubt
>>4928152I wish everyone could see this and just report and ignore. Watching the trolls posts vanish like they never existed is much more satisfying than taking the bait.
>>4928158Dude, its not leto. Leto got kicked out of his parents house, lost all access to animals, and eventually turned his life around. Now he’s some self improver ex incel. It’s the, or a copycat of, the deranged cat schizo that plays both sides of the console war and tries to get /dog/ deleted. It is the same guy that says white men fuck dogs.
>>4928152Don't you even dare. I love cats and dogs equally, I love all animals equally. Except disgusting 'merican zoofile mods. Don't make this a dog vs kot thing, because it isn't. It's a non-zoofile vs zoofile thing.
>>4928158MATI + TMI + autistic + horrifying + Islamic content
>>4928164No, there really is some crazy cat faggot, as in the kind that calls you a dog fucker if you say cats aren’t amazing, that keeps larping as leos owner and posting zoo shit so he can turn around and claim /dog/ is a zoophile discord colony. You just took the bait extremely hard. Don’t take it again.
>>4928160Fuck you, dog fucker. I'm a known non-sexual dog poster here. I'm just sick and tired of you creatures.
What sort of games do your dogs enjoy the most? I'm looking for ideas outside of tug of war and fetch
>>4928160Look at their absolute desperation. It is incredible. Sad we all cannot simply ignore them.
Playing with boiled eggs. With or without its shell, it makes for an exciting toy and a tasty and healthy snack.
>>4928173Is that whiteboi? Happy new years. :D
He likes fetch and rough housing with other dogs outside, and inside he just grabs something he isn't supposed to and plays keep away with it.>>4928174No. I forgot the picture. It would have been so perfect.
>>4928173So you have a German Shepard? Mine plays with its treats too
>>4928177Whenever I give my gsd a new food he carefully takes it to the bedroom and slowly nibbles on it. It is extremely cute. If he likes it he will eat the second piece normally.
>>4928167Leo's owner would never. Neither would Heather's. I'm not *that* of a newfag. Also, I know about the cat fag. But Leto loved to larp as the cat fag. Or the cat fag loved to larp as Leto. Idk anymore, I'm just an animal loving autist who would love to be here more often and post my autistic dog stuff, but every fucking time I check in there is some zoofile shit going on here. Ffs, can't the abominations contain themselves to discord?
>>4928180Mine stares at me, I give him the food item, he takes it, drops it, licks it, looks at me again, and if I refuse to give him another, he starts playing with it
>>4928181Your dogs eyebrows are always so on point. It makes me slightly jealous if I'm being honest.Also thanks. Everyone that matters knows the obvious truth.
>>4928183Sometimes if I know he will like something but he doesn't want to eat it at first I can peer pressure him into eating it.
>>4928174It is, the one and only, chunky and old, but happy and healthy Whiteboi. He's never as young as when he plays with an egg. Maybe if he and his sister-wife(not biologically related) fights over it. Then it's on. It's the egg or everything. Teeths are out and growls are loud. Normies gets scared and don't understand. It's husky playtime. Happy new years to you guise, too!=) Picrel nothing special, just Whiteboi and Whitegirl enjoying 2024's first snow.
>>4928149>>4928137Oh I'm a virgin now?
>>4928188>healthy and happyAs expected. :)We have our own white boi and white girl living with us for the past year. They all get along well enough. It's always a joy to see them playing together.
>>4928184Regularly drawing eyebrows on them is one of the perogatives of having white dogs. It looks best(most natural) after 24 hours, but before 72 hours, though. Here's fresh eyebrows on Whitegirl. Look how stupid and silly they look. Sometimes I play with the thought of painting their whole faces like a "normal" husky, or batman or a nigger, or whatever funny shit.
Why am I not surprised the guy who calls his dogs white boi and white girl is a racist?
>>4928197Very sarcastic. Nicely done.Last time we used black walnut juice. Works well if you want the stain to last for a few months... woops. We painted a skeleton on one of the dogs for halloween and it is almost faded away.>>4928200>Why am I not surprised the guy who calls his dogs white boi and white girl is a BASED?ftfy
>>4928196>healthy and happy As expected. :) Hah, thanx for the trust, frenderino.=) Most humans believe I'm a complete failure in life, but somehow my whitefrens and all my other animals thinks I'm the absolute best. We're extremely happy here, considering everything. Lyonya's(Whiteboi's) same-litter sister died of old age two years ago. She was an extremely healthy working mushing sled dog, but also used for breeding. I think his brother, Kayuh, is still alive, but I haven't met him for over two years. Picrel. Whiteboi is the one being clawed by a large germanic man-hand.=D
>>4928196Btw, I've noticed your whitefrens(I sneak semi-regularly on /an/ even if I don't white-post). I thought it was only one, but I can clearly see now they are two. It's a joy to see Leo happily play with them. They all seem so joyful. Most dogs prefer to be in a little pack, and it's so revarding to see them play together. Happy animals is probably the most wholesome and rewarding thing to watch in this world.
>>4928208Whiteboi still looks like a young dog. Maybe that is a secret benefit of owning white dogs. They don't get gray hairs in their old age. Do you do any special diet for them?>>4928222There's actually 5 of them... I'm their step father lol. Two are the parents and then 3 are the kids. They are not at my home property and spend their time guarding 600 chickens and escaping. The big one in the middle probably weighs 120lbs. He is a horse dog.>happy animalsCompletely agree. There's a joy and calmness to seeing them living their best life. I have cows, goats, sheep, pigs, ducks, and chickens all living their best lives. Big responsibility, but it is a blessed life to take care of them all. I eat good as well, lol. We had over 60 lambs born in the past month!
>>4928227There's nothing racially superior about you. Protip: if someone feels the need to mention how "superior" they are unprovoked, they probably aren't superior
>>4928227Btw, the original whiteboi name wasn't meant as anything special racially. I was just drunk as fuck and had just watched Oldeuboi the first time I posted on /an/ and had to come up with a name for my white male husky, so whiteboi just came naturally.
>>4928234Nevermind me, I know my ancestors well, I don't really care what you bleat. But are you seriously thinking Icelandic horses and Siberian huskies aren't superior to most other horses and dogs? Lol, lmfao even.
>>4928240Huskies are some of the most annoying and ugliest dogs I've ever seen in my life. Theyre like the cats of the dog work. Their blue eyes do not match their color scheme. The are loud and disrespectful. I'd much rather own a Chihuahua and pitbull and poodle before owning a husky. In my opinion, they are incredibly overrated. I'm not surprised you love them so much, considering you're obsessed with your ancestors accomplishments
I want to post some pictures to prove my point. This is ugly. Maybe the brown ones are better, but even then, they're loud and are inferior to GSDs and chihuahua's in terms of attractiveness. Hell, some of the pitbull, bully breeds are better looking than them
The hype behind these guys is unwarranted in my opinion. They're fine (the brown ones), but there are other breeds I find better looking than them
>>4928241>Americans are some of the most annoying and ugliest humans I've ever seen in my life. Theyre like the arabs of the human work. Their soulless black eyes do not match their color scheme. The are loud and disrespectful. I'd much rather own a Mexican and a nigger and a race-traitor before owning a human. In my opinion, they are incredibly overrated. I'm not surprised you love them so much, considering you're obsessed with your ancestors accomplishments. Gods, why are you making it so easy for me?
>>4928245I make a post about dogs, and you get so upset you break into a racial rant. Robin Diangelo has a book for you
>>4928241>they’re the cats of the dog worldA more intelligent, larger cat that doesnt rely on a litterbox or compulsively puke up hair-food-bile is a better pet than any dog so…Huskies = cheetahs = pumas > dogs
Turns out whiteboi baits the trolls into seething and coping better than almost anyone. Confirmed and objectively BASED.
>>4928247Please tell me the racist isn't a catfag
>buzzwordsHe might be projecting
>>4928252>buzzword is a buzzwordConcession accepted. :)
>>4928256>Meme phraseIronic
Can't we just love dogs of ever type of healthy color?
>>4928260I can't get behind the eyes man. Sometimes they remind me of the jigsaw puppet. I think ultimately it's their proportions that get me
>8 dogs dead this week at the clinic because of cytopoint thank you big pharma very cool

>>4928057Get yourself a new doggo and create more memories. My doggo passed away last month after 15 years. I got to see every stage of his life including his decline. When he passed away it was his time and I think that made it easier to say goodbye. Had it happened suddenly it probably would have been much harder for me.Now I'm getting a new pup next week and have been thinking of what to name him. My last dog was named Carter, it's what the breeder named him and it just stuck. I always associated the name with Jimmy Carter though and thought I would name my next dog after President to continue the tradition. What do you think of the name Jackson?He sort of looks like this:
>instant reply>meme phrase>no uAbsolutely seething and truelmfao. What a guy.
>>4928341Does your dog also have a mustache like Roosevelt? Maybe Teddy?
>6 minutes after the fact>"Instant reply"Every time I give a racist a chance, they end up proving they're retarded. I'm gonna give you the last word mate
>>4928344No, but everyone says the cavapoo looks like a teddy bear. I was thinking Grant or Jackson. If not one of those names then either Bosley or Jasper. I'm open to ideas, but not Teddy, I like more traditional names.
>>4928350You could always go for Theodore instead of teddy. I think Jasper works, but idk of that's a president or not
I can't blame the guy for some suicidal thoughts. I lost my dog in the fall of '23 and I had them repeatedly. She felt like more than a dog, but a true companion. She was basically attached to my hip her entire life. A few weeks after she died she visited me in a dream. She jumped on top of me and was wagging her tail like crazy and she told me she missed me. It was such a weird feeling, it was like electricity surging through my entire body. I've never felt anything like it before and it still makes me tear up thinking about it.
>>4928341Name it Trump
>>4928354He isn't suicidal about the dog. Does no one else real the full comment chain but me?
Happy New Year, anons!Last summer we brought home our new addition (pic is a few months old, from back in September.) This year I plan on continuing to train her up to be a good girl like Maple and Juni, and just to have as much good times and happiness as possible together with all three of them <3
Is this how you perform that leash choke on a dog? I'm trying to see if I'm doing it right in case worse comes to worse. Just to clarify, my dog is totally fine. I am not choking him
>>4928173don't afraid of choking by yolk?
>>4928061Show snoot.>>4928082Sorry to hear that. Don't beat yourself up too much. Rest in peace Cannoli.>>4928412Happy new year! What a bunch of cuties. What breed are they?

I've begun to use an ecollar on the lowest setting on my pitbull/corso mix
my dog died a couple months ago and it's been rough wish she was still here

>>4928738Fed: *shoots dog*>hehe basedChinese man: *puts little shit in the blender*>noooWhy are catfags like this?
should dogs be kept separate? younger dog is really annoying older dog and wont stop biting his ears and legs. the older dog has gotten aggressive when the younger dogs interrupts his routine, we play at the same time every day
>>4928570weird, 17 days and the janny still hasn't dealt with it?or is it the janitor that posted it?/ck/ has really been in the shitter for the last few years.
>>4928598Ecollars are incredibly useful if used properly, but if you don't train the dog with it the right way then they are a massive detriment to the dog, and you will ruin your ability to use the ecollar in the future.
>>4928745>no one:>not a soul:>not even big chungus:>dogfags: "REEEEEEEE CATS"why are dogfags like this?
>>4929025I think you've got things entirely reversed, buddy boy.
>>4929026now we're just going to deny reality?
>>4929029Nah, just you.
Does any1 here know, what these lesions, that have grown all over my dogs belly, are? I went to 5 different vets, but since I live in a 3rd world shit hole, none of them were of help
>>4929043Forgot picture
i'm a dog groomer, please for the love of god desensitize your dog a little, use the bottom of an electric tooth brush on it's feet to prepare for a dremel, put peanut butter on your finger and rub the inside of their mouth, play with their paws, ears, let kids play with them to reduce bad temperment. >>4928428can't tell by the hair but right below the jaw bone.you know the mewing meme where they point to their cheek/jaw area, right below that>>4929044could be a few things, my best guesses are fungal, bacterial, or but bite related, unlikely the last one
>>4929201bug bite*
>>4929201>right below the jaw bone.Thanks man. I'll touch my dog's ears for you
>>4929209yeah so it's good for pulling, but won't significantly choke or hurt their neck/throatgroomers tend to use it if they don't just want to carry the dog or they're being unruly, a quick tug when it's in the proper spot and they usually learn.
>>4929210I'm actually trying to see if I'm doing the blood choke (?) properly. You know, the choke you execute if a dog is attacking another dog?
>>4929201Are these hot spots? Thank you anon
my dog got put down today, lived 9 yearsfamily didnt want to stay with him for ithis last moments were watching us leave him in a dark room alone with a strangeri wonder if he could comprehend what was happeningi dont know what was wrong with him but he previously had tumours removedi was going to take him for a walk yesterday but i went without himalways feel regret and guilt after not spending time with someone before they passwas a rescue dog, always wondered what life he had before we adopted himsorry for sad post, dont really have anywhere else to talk about it
>>4929339I'm sorry bro. I know you feel horrible right now, but you did do the right thing
Taking my reactive dog to a pet expo today at a convention center. On a scale of 1/10 how bad of an idea is this?
>>492935910. Make sure your dog is trained before taking it somewhere. It's like signing up for a boxing match without training for boxing a day in your life
Hey /dog/ I have a question, usually my female goes into heat every 5 months, but today I just noticed the first signs of period blood and it's only been barely 4 months since the beginning of her last heat, what could be triggering early heat? Normally she is very predictable with her cycle, so this is a departure from what's typical, and what I'd expect.
>be my dog>lick the floor>groom herself>lick the bin>lick my face
>>4929360She ended up being fine. She was somewhat nervous, like jumping on us if other dogs were close by, and would try to dart after us if one of us walked away from “the pack” but, overall not horrible. We kept her on a tight leash and got her some treats. We also ended up splurging on a 3 point harness to help with leash pulling and it’s already helped dramatically.
Anyone know of an easier way to brush my dog’s teeth? She’s a fussy one
>>4929462Easiest is to give them chews that clean their teath
>>4928351Theo short for Theodore would be a good one. I'll add it to the list.RufusJasperBosleyTheoGrantJackson
>>4929505I like Grant and Jackson for him too. Ulysses and Andrew have (very very minor) similarities to the breed you posted
I gave my dog a treat and as I sat there and watched him eat it I heard him start choking and he coughed up the entire damn thing and then picked it up again and chewed it for a few seconds and then swallowed itGod damn my dog is fucking stupid
>>4929235if it's hot spots it's really fucking bad>>4929213same exact position as i explained to you, except you pull straight up
>>4929561mind you, you need a lead for this though
>>4929213>>4929561>>4929563oh and if it's about being worried about your dog attacking another dog, both parties should be grabbing them by the back legs, and if they don't let go, I hate to say this but standard procedure is to put a finger up their ass
>>4929563>>4929561Thanks. I heard you can turn your leash into a makeshift lead
My dog is dying. It won't be much longer. Possibly tonight. Chronic kidney failure. I've spent every minute I wasn't at work of the past three weeks with him. He beat the vet's diagnosis by a week so far, but today had me second guessing not putting him down. Until yesterday he could still move around. Today, barely any. I'll re evaluate, but he hates the vet and I don't want him to go being stressed out. I don't think he'd be at peace if the vet came to the house either.But I don't think he's in pain. Just... really weak. But when I asked him if he wanted to go for a ride today, he did his best. He can't jump up in the truck anymore, but he stood right there on the armrest and leaned on me. I hate it because he's still trying to do all the things he always did, he just can't anymore. I hope he just goes peacefully in his sleep. I cannot believe he's lasted as long as he has.
>>4929565>put a finger up their assI'd rather choke them out. They'll stop biting almost immediately
>>4928350>>4929505choose something original, had a bernadoodle I was grooming named nacho el macho and I loved it.also have a frenchie that comes in name blue shiesty. I had a english mastiff who's passed a long time ago unfortunately, named Scheherazade, sherry for short.
>>4929044Man that just screams fungal to me. Like super ringworm
>>4929568this really only applies if the dog is stronger than you, i'll be real>>4929566you can, but you can't do it with a collar and leash, a lead when pulled gets tighter and I think you could figure out the rest to set up your leash that way
>>4929567He deserves it because my content is better
>>4929567I think you should research if kidney failure hurts or not. I know it's hard, but I've experienced one dog dying outside of the vet, and it's a sight you wouldn't want to see
>>4928341I don't know, you'd be missing out not naming the followup to Carter after Reagan, and Reagan isn't a bad dog name since you can shorten it to Ray.
>>4929567hate to be the bearer but sometimes you gotta let them go even if they're not a fan of the vet, he's doing his best while suffering for your sake, eventually he will be unable to eat and walk, i've seen it first hand, it gets worse and it's worse that way. I wont tell you what to do, it's your decision to make
>>4929574I'm pretty sure I'm seeing it. The vet was clear that CKF as opposed to acute is such a common killer because you don't even notice it until it's too late. The dog adjusts to the anemia and elevated chemical levels until it just finally hits a critical mass, but its too late by then for many dogs. We went over his charts and the only indication anything was wrong until I brought him in for an emergency checkup was that he'd lost some weight over the last year.I'm sure he doesn't feel great, but up until new years day he was still playing fetch in the yard with me.
>>4929571If it's at least a medium sized dog, it should work
>>4929577I appreciate it. You aren't wrong, but I feel the end is very near. The perfect death is just drifting off in sleep, and I'm probably being selfish to want that. But I'm sleeping on the floor next to him right now, and he looks happy.
>>4929578You gotta remember that dogs have great poker faces, especially around loved ones
>>4929579yeah so you have that set up correctly, this would work fine. just remember right below the jaw and straight up, it emulates what wolves do I believe, don't take my word completely for it but, i think it emulates being dominated by the alpha wolf.
>>4929580maybe see if you could get gabapentin or trazadone for the vet visit, but with CKF not sure how that works i'll be real
>>4929583Oh wow. I just heard it was a way to cut off blood flow, which would prompt the dogs to let go
>>4929585Not my original dog but he's living with me at the moment and has always been a cuddly but grumpy dog. Not sure whats happened recently but he's lately been less social with people, he tends to get into these weird states where he'll lay down on a sofa or bed, look off the edge and then twitch/shake and whimper while hyperfocusing on the floor. Anyone ever have this with a dog before? I figured it might have been separation anxiety since my sister left but its been far too long now.
I accidentally made it so my dog only poops on walks and not in the yardhow do I undo this? when he has to go he goes over to the closet where his leash is and starts scratching at the doorI want him to go in the yard like a normal dog, this current process is a nuisance
>>4929645After you feed him (or whenever he usually has to go poo) just take him into the backyard and reward him when he poos outside
i got two gsds but one is a husky mix :) one is gettign less r eactive>>4929462yeah mine are too get a dog dentist toothbrush that you slide over your finger. it's way easier, sure u have to stick ur finger in their mouth but its easier trust me
well his ear got better now anyway it's more upright when we first got him one ear was super droopy and couldn't stand. now it's more often up than not.
What breeds of dog would comfortably deal with 1-4 red foxes that look like pic? I keep getting stalked, screamed at and false charged by these foxes whenever I'm walking my parents small female French Bulldog after sunset on my regular bushwalk.
>>4929802kangol would be overkill but anything bred for hunting wolves will work, a german shepherd sized dog would simply scare them away before you even see them
Got a call from mom saying our family dog we've had for 15 years had to be put down. I've learned from this experience this afternoon that I probably should never have a dog on my own once I move out because I wouldn't be able to make tough decisions like this. The vet explained there was a pocket where she was internally bleeding and her spleen was enlarged, and that the internal bleeding might get better but on the other hand her fear was that if we brought her home it'd rupture and she'd die in pain (I'm probably getting some terms wrong but whatever, can't think straight). I just can't rationalize not doing everything possible to keep her around if there's a possibility she could get get better. I wouldn't let a human family member just die if they had a chance to live. As my mom was sobbing while they put the needle in her she asked "She wasn't going to get better was she?" (I guess this means the enlarged spleen/cancer) and the vet said "No". And the only thing I could think was "Do you really mean that or are you just saying it?"Mom told me about the spleen thing I think 2 weeks ago but our dog didn't seem at death's door to me. Old and didn't eat a lot but she didn't seem in pain. She'd still bark at things she saw through the window like always.Fuck man. Life sucks. Only living things I love in this world are my mom, my dad, and our dog.
>>4929937My mom had a similar mentality. I think our dog was 15, 14 too. She was spending money on medicines and vet visits to avoid putting her dog, until one night she saw her die in a very undignified way. I wasn't really close to that dog, so it didn't really hurt me too well, but it I found my dog that I own now in the way we found her, it would kill me. Your mom is strong. I don't know if I could have done what she did, but I do know she did the right thing. You don't want to remember best friend like that
Should I use this nail filer on my dog? It's rusted and old, but I don't have a drivel at the moment
>>4929976Heh>>4930055Try it on your big toe. If it cuts smoothly it should be fine. Be careful with the saw of course.
>>4930055no don't stab your dog, buy a $2 nail clipper like a normal person
>>4930093I have a nail clipper, but I'm worried about cutting too close to the quick>>4930088Thanks bro
>>4929339Why weren't you with him?
>>4929937When a spleen cancer ruptures the cancrr spreads everywhere regardless, so at best your dog would have another gruesome month or two. Lesson to be learned: get old dogs an ultrasound once a year at least to check before it grows ugly. Spleen removal is an easy procedure.
>>4930102When is a dog considered old?
>>4930104I start with the yearly ultrasound and occasional blood work regimen when they're 8.
>>4930107Thanks
>>4929582He passed this morning. I'm a little conflicted. I spent almost the entirety of the last 3 weeks with him. I was able to take off work at times, and when I couldn't I left him in the care of my parents.Yesterday I decided I'd call the vet for in home euthanasia. He was still "there" but overnight could not walk unaided. He'd watch TV, respond to calls, and nose a ball around. Unfortunately they could not get to me until today at 11. Fine, I thought, still hoping he would pass in his sleep. Around 9 last night the deep breaths started. I had been sleeping in the floor with him for weeks so he could get me if he needed to go outside. All night he would latch on to me. I didn't mind, other than this was the first time I thought he was suffering or looked scared. So all night I sat with him. He slept some. Not much.At daybreak he tried to get up like usual. He made to go outside. He couldn't, but I supported him around his middle so he sort of doggy paddled in the air. We got to the back door and he made a retching noise. I got him off the back porch and sat him down and he collapsed. I hurried him back in the house and the death spasms happened. Fortunately it was over quick. Last night was hard. I'm still glad I got to spend a ton of time with him before he went. He was a good sport right up to the end. But damn the last few minutes were hard to watch. I just held him and talked to him. I can't imagine not being there for their last moments if you have the choice to do so. I wouldn't have forgiven myself. But if I could have had the euthanasia at just the right time, and in house... I would have spared him last night.
>>4930404I'm sorry bro, that's the worst thing you could have experienced. my mom saw a similar sight with her dog. It's good you laid with him on the floor. I bet he was happy about that
There’s been like 10 dogs that died in this thread alone
>>4930465It's fucking insane. I try to give my flowers to each one though, since I would want the same
>>4930464Thanks anon. The more I think on it the less bothered I am about my choice. Even on that last day, right until he started breathing real heavy, he was still the same as he ever was, just with no energy. I spent a lot of the last three weeks sitting with him on the couch, watching law and order reruns, and having him bark at black people on TV. I'm glad I had that last day... even if last night was torturous for me.
>>4930121
Anons which lost their dogs, how did you spent the first days, weeks, months, after your dog died? How has your perspective in life in general changed?I'm trying to focus on positives right now.
>>4930693It hurts for a while but it is what it is.I'd rather watch my buddy go than die before they do. What matters is that me (we actually, my family) game them the best life we could have given them and they lived many joyful years.t. has had two dogs die in my 30 years of life so far and it hurt as much the second time as it did the first.
Hi,What breeds are similar to the Labrador, but without their stubby coat that burrows and embeds into fabric? Goldens are too meek. They don't have the same "Fuck it we ball" swag energy.Thankyou.
>>4930725labradoodle
>>4929339>family didnt want to stay with him for itwhy did you left him retard ?
Im so tired of my dogwhich is easier taking him to a pound or talking to a breed specific rescue?
>>4930693It hurts at first and you never replace them, and you'll have a feeling of guilt even thinking about it. But then you realize you aren't replacing them at all.
I'm so tired of low effort bait
>>4929044your dog food sucks. Stop feeding her kibble
My dog is extremely happy for me to take his toys from himHe lets me take them out of his mouthI recently got him a antler and I've given it to him 3 times, always supervised whilst I'm reading books and whenever I take it away from him it feels super dodgyI just took it away from him and this is how it went>walked away from room and started rattling his treat cage>he comes running up to me and I try to get him to go outside but the instant I put my hand out of the door he's run back to the antler and I can see him holding it in his mouth>manage to get him out of the door, put the antler away >spend 15 minutes in the garden but when we go back in he bolts through the door and starts running through the house looking for the antler
Will wild animals try to dig out cremated bones from a shallow grave in forest?
>>4930693I've lost lots of dogs over the years (none via neglect or accident or particularly suddenly). You never stop missing them, but it gets better like everything else. We just put our oldest to sleep today and she was a very sickly, clingy dog her whole life but we loved her and she had a great life despite her many illnesses. For a long time she was with us 24 hours a day. We'll miss her presence but it was just her time to go. She started showing symptoms of heart failure a few months ago and she just reached a tipping point and she was suffering and we made the call. Take comfort in knowing you did your best for them and they knew that. RIP Dot, I won't miss you shitting the bed.
>>4931136100%
Taking my dog 500 miles on the train to visit in-laws. Making two stops for peeing and pooing but she's great on trains and buses. My in-laws live in a rural area too so she's gonna love it in the lakes.
>>4930693>>4931208I take solcae in the fact that my dog was the happiest dog I've ever met. Every day was just joy for her. Imagine a life like that.
>My mom's dog really, really likes meI'll feel like shit once I have to leave.
I woke up today and my dog is terrified of me. She's never had a bad experience, never been abused or handled roughly but now when I come near her she trembles or runs away. She's not fixed and her heat is coming up could that be part of it? Or has she just switched up on me overnight and she needs to be given away? Any tips I am genuinely heartbroken right now it's haven't felt this bad in years ;-; gunna see if she's happy to see me when I return from work although she was hiding when I left shit sucks man
>>4931235Even if they are cremated?
>>4931275She's hungry.
does anyone have the link to the discord and also the pastebin /an/ approved trainers youtube channel and resources, like the gangline website
>>4931355No predator is going to want to eat ashes. You could also spread the ashes around.
I'm sheltering with a family I know because my house burned down, and they have two dogs: one of them is a friendly retriever, but the other is a fully-grown St. Bernard who's simultaneously standoffish and demanding attention.>will walk up to me with ears perked before stopping 3 - 5 ft. short>demands attention when retriever is being pet>will not break eye contact>acts differently depending on who's around>when it's just me in the room, she's cautious but will come up for pets and then disengage>when the mom of the family is in the room, she'll repeatedly "check on me" and won't disengageFrankly, if this was my dog, I would be aggressively discouraging this behavior by directly asserting dominance, but that's not an option in this situation. Anything I can do to get her to either leave me alone or chill the fuck out? I've fed her treats (which she'll eat out of my open palm), interacted with the other dog in front of her, interacted with the family, pet her, etc. Haven't played with her.>leaveWorking on it, obviously.
>>4931400>dog is near me>i need to suplex itAutism speaksAnd no one is listening
For some reason a group of birds started to attack my dog at the park, what's going on?
>>4931462You’re dog angered one of them 2 years ago
My dumb fucking fag dog is crying right now and I'm literally in the bathroom. I fucking hate him so much
>>4931486We really do need a white genocide
>>4931486BASED
>>4931486>Catfag>Is racistWorkclock like. Reminder: everything you hate about black people also applies to cats
>>4931490>>4931488>>4931487Put the German back in German shepherd fellow chuds.
>>4931493...you want your dog to kill himself?
I've wanted to get a dog for as long as I can remember, I work 10 hour shifts and it would feel mean to leave the dog alone at home.What do?
>>4931494No, but it would be pretty funny if he became even more racist.
>>4931497Infantile generalization isn't funny. Well, I guess you can technically laugh at the people who practice it
>>4931502This is the face my dog makes when I discuss fbi statistics with him.
>>4931486>>4931493>>4931497>>4931508Safe edgy faggot
>>4931508His smile turns upside down when you mention the US bestiality statistics
>>4931526If bestiality is bad why does it have the word "best" in it?
>>4931531Not beating the allegations
>>4931526And then up again when he remembers that most hispanic offenders are documented as white, and everyone who has ever lived around negroes ever knows that their pets magically turn in to strays whenever the cops are around.Does anyone really believe the group that commits the most violent crime commits the least animal abuse? Or do they just live in areas with more stray animals, so it's easier to get away with catch and release sadism? Black animal abusers target stray animals, white animal abusers have no access to strays so their dependence on a captive victim makes them easier to catch. But don't believe for a second the #1 perpetrators of rape and assault are totally leaving animals alone unlike their close cousins in their home country.
>>4931536That's a lot of cope dude
Not the heckin bait taking-erino.
>>4931539Its right, it's one of the many right things that BTFOs you. You have lost this argument so many times and in so many ways it's starting to get funny.Even the biggest anti-white liberals don't dare touch this topic because they know they'd lose, and then get embarrassed by a list of every non white country and culture that allows or tolerates animal abuse, a gorillion anecdotes of animal abuse in black neighborhoods going totally unpunished, and their own various arguments regarding the meaninglessness of arrests in constructing racial bias. The neo-nazi narrative would then become "liberals discover white people are the only race that cares about animal welfare and enforces animal protection laws". Which is, well, kind of true.You should follow their lead and take the L.
>>4931547Its really only an argument that could persist on 4chan, where screaming NO WRONG IM RIGHT over and over again trumps logic. You could debunk flat earth here and a retard would just repost his infographics and say NO IT SAYD YOU’RE WRONG.
>>4931540Everything in this picture has dirt on itThere must be a cat somewhere
>>4931547You search up "charged with bestiality" and every single article that shows the offenders face shows a white couple. The animals that get abused the most behind dogs are farm animals (most farmers are white). The occupations that are most responsible for abusing the animals are white dominatedI found a study on sexually violent predators (SVPs). 33/1200 or so SVPs had a history with bestiality. 80% of them were white. Keep in mind, black people (men) made up like over half the population of the offenders, while white guys made up a little over a 1/3You can keep denying reality, but it doesn't change the facts. Just take your L like a man. Every other race does
Keep in mind, the retard claiming I'm wrong admitted that he doesn't believe black men disproportionately commit violent crimes in the US. He's an actual lunatic. It sucks, but it's the truth; white men disproportionately commit bestiality in the US, and black men disproportionately commit violent crimes in the US. Just accept your (race's) flaws and do better within your community. Stop whining like a little baby, claiming everything is rigged and against you
>>4931549You called it. He gets btfo and just points at a small, low quality data set that falls apart in context. Again. >>4931555Wow, a statistical analysis based on 26 people. Thats all we get from being the only race to self police for animal welfare and actually look for a crime with victims that cant talk? Thats it? We need to do better. Obviously no one else will because african, hispanic, arab, and asian countries tolerate and allow animal abuse. It’s up to us even if that means only white people are arrested for hurting animals - because only white people care to create a world where it can’t be gotten away with.
>>4931557>muh handful of people arrested for the crime no one looks forConclusion: white people film themselves doing sex crimes more oftenIts "gay porn is whiter than christmas so whites are gayer" all over again (blacks are actually 0.4 gayer than whites)You lose.
>>49315581. Bestiality is legal in Finland2. Why is it that white men commit bestiality at a higher rate in the US than blacks, Mexicans, Arabs, and Asians, despite their country enabling animal abuse?
>>4931552Powerful deductive skills. It's been very muddy over here. Only a drop in the dirt bucket when you have an indoor cat that somehow makes your entire home dirtier than a dog you take outside to play in the mud 2-3 times a day. Funny how that works out...
>>4931560There are multiple ways to get caught commiting bestiality. Minorities would have to avoid family, friends, and neighbors seeing and reporting them and the vet reporting them (because we know that minorities go to the vet about as often as white people). That's irrational to think that
>>4931561>in asian country>they don’tYou already lost this argument every time and its clear you’re a stinky cat faggot trying to kill /dog/ again so heres your present:A dog always has a natural right to kill and eat any cat that enters its territory. My German Shepherd gets at least one a month and no one has ever suspected him. Cats are inferior to dogs because they are less intelligent and can not exterminate pests. Cats also kill more babies than pitbulls. QED. Catfags lose. Dog website, catredditor. Go back.
>>4931565Minorities dont see bestiality as wrong in their own countries. Why would they suddenly care?Face it, even anti white liberals dont touch this for a reason. Unlike you they cant just repeat the line in the face of solid arguments proving why the data point is insignificant. You’re just some dumb catfag, arent you? Cats are shit pets. Reddit is over there.
>no one>no one at all>cat tranny: BESTIALITY!Why are toxotroons like this bros
>>4931566>>in asian country>>they don’tI said in the US. What are you even talking about?
>>4931567It's clear to me you're insanely ignorant on this topic. Let's pretend 90% of minorities who are native to their country are fine with bestiality. You're telling me the people who choose to leave their country for better opportunities, and their descendants are all ok with bestiality? You cannot be this dumb
As the night goes on, the arguments claiming that white males don't actually disproportionately commit bestiality in the US gets dumber and dumber. It's becoming more and more evident that these people are coping
>>4931275Try whether she has the same reaction to other people too.Maybe she is in pain (maybe psychological), and somehow that pain is associated with you for some reason.>>4931385Yeah I wanted to initially but I received mostly bones from cremation. Not that many ashes actually.Better be safe than sorry, I won't be trying to do wild burial.
>>4931575 >Strawmanning this hard >and routinely abandon ones they dont want to deal with anymore (traditional african culture, Black people aren't Africans. They are of African descent, but they are not African. The vast majority of black people have never experienced African culture, so how could they emulate it here? This is what I'm talking about -- you guys are very, very stupid. You just talk out of your ass. Speaking of ass, of black people were abusing dogs in mass in ghettos, wouldn't someone noticed there's an epidemic of stray dogs with signs of sexual abuse? Listen dude, you're embarrassing yourself. Take the L and go home
This retard is now 18 and therefore older than most of the posters on this website
>>4931586Now you can have sex with him
>>4931275>>4931581I will add are there any other behavioral changes? Refuses to eat? Licking some area more than usual? Loss of energy? Doesn't want to go outside when usually she would go?It can mean some acute problem. Dogs can be just silent (no whimpering or anything) even if something very serious is going on in their bodies.
I don't think my dog is vaccinated at all. What are the risks of this, beyond the obvious?
