Adorable Dog

Mostly a cricketdog napping. And mutts. If fireflywaltz follows you, that's me.

A few wonderful boys still need homes <3

I want all these puppies, but especially #1...

Been a bit shy about uploading my own pictures since I reposted something from imgr and it took off.

But the Cricket-ball is still adorable.

Most dogblrs I find tend to do some sort of racing, luring, tracking, show, etc. As a lover of dogs, I almost feel discouraged. While my dogs have always been healthy and well cared for, they've never been performance dogs, and seeing that most dogblrs feature "professional" dogs almost make me feel like I'm slacking as an owner. How do you feel about dogs that are simply family dogs who enjoy a romp in the backyard and a lazy day on the couch? I do also understand that it can depend on breed.

I think that’s grand! Dogs’ lives are fleeting. However someone chooses to enjoy and love and spend time with their dog during their all-too-short time on this planet, I’m all for it. 

(I definitely understand what you’re feeling, though, and how that voice of “do I measure up” can nag you. Don’t listen to it, though. That voice is a dumb-dumb head. I mean, I’m trying to learn dog sports with what are basically the canine equivalents of a city pigeon, soooo…yeah. Listening to the voice of comparison does no good.)

My dogs are professional idiots but that’s about it. 😂

[adorabledog]

My dog is currently fulfilling her calling as a butt-warmer. I feel no guilt.

What breeds do you see most in your area?

[adorabledog]

Our neighborhood is actually pretty diverse dogwise. There's even a couple of besenji mixes. But I do see a lot of... those little white dogs older people like...? And cigar dogs. I mean dauchunds.

2nd attempt at sighthound based dragons. Maybe not sighthound-y enough.

Repost from my main blog.

[fireflywaltz]

Finally putting my pinterest board full of noodle dogs to work on my pet project, designing sighthound-based dragons. :D

This is just where I stopped tonight. Don’t like the face exactly still. -.-

Dogblr Name Meme

How did you choose your dog’s name/s? Mention their breed or type as well, so people who don’t know you well will know what sort of dog you’re describing.

Rory is my Malamute, and he’s probably a mix with a smidgen of German Shepherd. The rescue had him called some 80s name with a Z and he sounded like a ‘Saved by the Bell’ extra, so I knew before I brought him home that I’d rename him. I was hoping to go for something Medieval, maybe Rolf, but it didn’t fit. I kept coming back to either Rory or Sam. Then when I finally met him for the first time he just wasn’t a Sam, he was my Rory.

Aang is my 11 month old Indian pariah dog. The rescue named him Tiger but I knew after seeing him that that name just didn’t feel right. Aang is the name of the main character on Avatar: The Last Airbender and he’s goofy and smart and loyal and just a tad bit of a troublemaker, which sums up my dog pretty well.

Cricket is a two-year-old What Is It? from the pound. The pound had actually named her Cricket (although she didn’t know that) and we kept it because it fit perfectly. She’s so tiny and bouncy!

[adorabledog]

I am a dog chin rest. My life is fulfilled. I need nothing more.

This is another adorable dog. Today is adorable dog day.

Meet Mila. My roommate picked her up after seeing her picking scraps off the side of the road. • /r/aww

This is an adorable dog.

[doberbutts]

this is probably a really stupid question, but what's a wob and why is it called that?

Wobs are malinois! It was started by @tempurafriedhappiness and co as a mispronounced “mal-in-WAH”. Much like how noses are now called snoots due to tumblr silliness, it’s just a bit of fun.

[dogsaremypatronuspersonal-blog]

ngl sometimes I forget wob is a tumblr thing. 

[rosslynpaladin]

Yeah don’t use it outside of tumblr cuz I’m fairlyl sure it’s a filthy ethnic slur somewhere.

[dogsaremypatronuspersonal-blog]

You’re thinking of “wop”. Used against Italians.

[rosslynpaladin]

I could swear I’ve heard wob used by people trying to dehumanize middle easterners/north africans.

[streetdogmillionaires]

You might be thinking of “wog”? I had never heard of it until I joked once about calling Chalo and Priya “polliwogs” (pariah dogs > polliwogs) and someone warned me that it wasn’t a good idea because of the India connection. I was glad they educated me.

[brown-dorgs]

I’m pretty sure Wob was once used in australia as a slur against Greeks tho?

[adorabledog]

Very personal opinion, but if no one can remember who a word is an ethnic slur against or even whether a word is an ethnic slur at all, it’s probably pretty safe to use it.

[dogwizard]

dogblr, what’s your personal policy on tying a dog up outside of a store while you go in to shop? lots of people here do it very regularly, and several people that do it can’t seem to ever leave their home without their dog while they go to menial chores like grocery shopping. 

i am personally not comfortable doing this, i don’t like the risks involved. the things i think about are things like the dog being stolen quickly, people feeding the dog when i’m not there, or the dog biting for any reason warranted or not. 

is this a risk you feel comfortable taking? any opinions on those that do choose to take this risk (maybe the length of time is a factor, or whether the dog is muzzled, etc etc)?

[noodle-dragon]

The last time I did this with Bandit, the situation got scary, so now I won’t even consider it unless I’m desperate. I tied him to a bench while I ran into a grocery store for all of 5 minutes (ran in to get water because we got caught in 100+ surprise heat on our walk). My mistake because the bench was fake bolted down (it had feet that looked like bolts but it was fake??) and Bandit started walking away with the bench attached to him. Thankfully he had a harness on and a couple people caught him before he even got to the parking lot. Freaking heart attack.

But yeah I’m so legit terrified of someone stealing him. He’s a big exotic looking dog and he wouldn’t put up a fight if someone grabbed him. I also don’t trust the public, mostly kids, to interact with him safely and in ways that wouldn’t provoke a reaction.

[adorabledog]

I’m too much of a nervous bunny to leave my adorable dog somewhere. I’m not gonna report someone to the humane society if they do though. Needs as needs must.

Dog nose, Irish moss. Sniff.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

I don’t even know why nat geo still airs Cesar Milans shows he is an unsuccessful trainer. If your clients are putting down their dogs after seeing you, you’re doing something wrong. 

Give me a show I’d do a better job blindfolded with my hands tied behind my back and I’d look cuter than him too therefore better ratings ;) 

Idk just a suggestion 

[adorabledog]

You’d have to call yourself something with “Crocodile” in it for the American crowd. And possibly train the occasional croc. We expect all Australians to have crocodiles in their shows.

[salty-sighthound]

hahaha perfect! ‘Crocodile Kate Animal trainer & Bloody Legend’ I’ll get myself a pet crocodile who I bring to house calls to really sell it 

[adorabledog]

Yessss, you’ve got it. Instant hit!
