Making sure everyone knows the truth about what is and isn't safe for man's best friend!~

Hey, I need help. A lot help. Finical help.

I know, everyone does. But I’m late in rent. I will need another $574.

My mom kidnapped my car for two weeks because she was mad at me. Because I’m an Ubereats driver this greatly impacted my income. I was lucky my boyfriend let me borrow his car as much as he could but he still needs to get to and from work and also drives Lyft which cut into the time I normally worked.

I would need 100 less but I dropped my phone two days ago and broke the screen so bad it wouldn’t work at all. As I said I do ubereats and that’s all on your phone so I needed to get it fixed this week, I couldn’t put it off. That also cut into time I could work.

I’ve also just had a hard time getting out the door and working. The troubled with my mom, I’m going through a separation with my wife, and feeling the dread of not being able to make rent on the first.

I don’t have much I can give back. I’m not an artist by any stretch of the imagination. But I will draw, paint, whatever. I got dogs/cat pics I can send. For every 50 I raise I can post a video of a burlesque move I learned and teach it to you! If there is anything else you can think of that would make it worth it to you to donate to help me keep my house, let me know. I’ll probably do it. I’m very desperate.

I have 3 dogs and 4 cats I would need to worry about placing in a safe place. I haven’t even finished unpacking. I have a regular well paying job lined up I start next week that will cover everything for next month. I just need help today.

And if you are ok with delayed payments back, I will take that too.

I hate asking. I hate needing help. But at this point I’ve exhausted all other options. A thank you in advance to all those you do anything you can.

Again, thank you thank you thank you. I’m still working. I have things I’m trying to sell. I’m still pushing.

Let me know if you want a little house tour and I’ll totally post a lil video!

How to interact with a service dog

Don’t. 

That’s it. 

This has been a PSA

[shoesgazing-blog]

i dont get what this post means

[pasarro-deactivated20170515]

service dogs are doing a job and usually people want to pet them but then theyll interrupt the job the service dog is trained to do. so the rule of thumb is dont interact with a service dog unless the owner says you can

[lucaferrrr]

YEET idc I’m petting the dog anyways

[twobarklessdogs]

Okay, well.

You shouldn’t pet strangers’ dogs without asking either.

In Boston while waiting for the T, there was a woman with her service dog in full gear also waiting. Two young women went right up to the dog and the moment one of the women reached out to pet the dog, the older woman slapped her hand away and said “My dog is working, do NOT pet.” And I smiled because those young women were in the wrong.

If you came up to my dogs and didn’t ask to pet them, I would slap your hand away, and they’re not even service dogs.

[followthebluebell]

If you pet my service dog without permission, you are stopping him from doing his job.  

One of my dog’s jobs is detecting seizures.  He gives me a few minutes warning.  If he can’t warn me because he’s distracted, I could fall and hit my head. 

I could die of a head injury because I wouldn’t have time to find a place to sit and sit down.

But, hey, a stranger gets to pet my dog. 

I guess that’s worth it. /sarcasm

[xxxkyrareaperxxx-deactivated201]

Seriously, this is why you DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH A SERVICE DOG

Here’s an article on what happened when someone pet a service dog and it DID distract the dog resulting in the owner suffering a seizure and injuries. 

For anyone who doesn’t feel like reading, here is the key points:

Hailey has multiple illnesses including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and epilepsy. Her service pup in-training, Flynn, has the important task of alerting her roughly 10 minutes before she has a seizure. This gives her time to find a safe place so that she does not injure herself while seizing.

Although the other human meant no harm, her action nearly resulted in tragedy. Because Flynn was distracted, he failed to give Hailey proper notice of her seizure. By the time he was able to alert her, it was already too late.  “My service dog is my lifeline. I don’t say that to be cute. He helps keep me alive just like life support. If he gets distracted this happens. If he gets distracted I can die. Do not pet service dogs. Do not call to service dogs. Do not taunt service dogs. Do not talk to service dogs. Do not do anything to service dogs.” 

[the-awkward-turt]

1) Would you grab a person’s wheelchair and start rolling it forward and back for your own amusement? Would you randomly touch someone’s hearing aid while it’s in their ear? No? Then don’t pet someone’s service dog!

2) Don’t pet anyone’s dog unless you have the owner’s permission. If the dog gets nervous around strangers and you invade its personal space it might bite you out of fear, which could lead to the dog being put down. Not to mention it’s just disrespectful. Asking takes about five seconds. Just do it.

Signal boosting! A service dog is a working dog, and they need your respect more than your affection. If you want to deliver a compliment, let their human know what a great job they’re doing. It will be appreciated.

Dog food elitism.

Dog elitism has been a thing for as long as the common people have been able to own pets themselves. That’s why there are pure breeds, and dog shows, and essentially toy breeds. To separate the rich from the poor. 

Now, a new from of dog elitism has emerged: dog food elitism. Those who put other dog owners down for getting dog food you can guy at the grocery store, you are just hurting your dog and shouldn’t own one. If you can’t feed your dog only raw, you are a bad dog owner.

They are wrong. So lets delve into that.

I didn’t really realize this was really a big thing until I commented on a discussion on a dog social app of mine (called wagtail. great app) and someone literally just slammed me down for suggesting IAMS for a girls new puppy. I took our conversation to the DM’s so to not derail the original conversation. And these are some of the gems she threw at me.

This was pretty near the beginning of the conversation. And basically this is the biggest problem this this dog food elitism is it evolves to if you cannot afford what I think is the best for dogs, you shouldn’t own a dog.

My dogs are rescues. I recently had to pay for surgery for my one dogs legs that is costing me about $200 a month. (a total of about $3000 for the whole thing) I pour so much time and money into them along with love and a same home. I am not abusing them. That should be enough. 

But my dog food is cheap crap to her so I shouldn’t own dogs because I cannot, nor can most dog owners, afford to go out and get a dog nutritionalist and go to a specialty feed store for dog food. 

Fillers: I was actually wrong in that rice, the most common filler for your “grocery store” dog food, is actually good for dogs!

http://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/oats-and-brown-rice-healthy-whole-grains-your-dog-can-eat-2/

Also, knowing and really caring about where your food is sources from is super elitist. Like yes, I would rather it all from my country, but that is more of a economical concern than a health concern. Whether the chicken comes from china or the local farm, it’s chicken. Calm down. don't be stupid. If you are concerned, get involved with politics, not with personal dog owners on an app. 

dogs are not wolves! They are descendant from wolves! They have grown up eating human scraps ever since they domesticated themselves! chickens are the closest descendants of the t-rex or one of those dinosaurs, but they are not carnivores!  Dogs, though much less removed from wolves, have evolved to a different diet!

http://web-dvm.net/dogs-are-omnivores-and-should-be-fed-as-such/ this link also fully explains the problem with raw diets.

so dog can digest veggies and honestly should eat them because just protein is bad for them. They need the other now. 

So in conclusion: dog food has it’s problems, yes. But honestly saving a dog from a shelter and giving it love and attention is more important than expensive AF dog food. Get for elitism away from me and stop.

Also, if you do have the wagtail app, DO NOT go after this girl.

Problems suffered by pugs

- Serious breathing difficulties 

 - High blood pressure 

 - Fainting or collapsing due to a lack of oxygen 

 - Facial skin fold infections 

 - Serious eye problems 

 - Excessive flatulence due to excessive gulping and swallowing of air to try to overcome their breathing difficulties 

- Difficulty walking 

- Highly disrupted sleep

 If you’re going to get a pug regardless of these problems just bear this in mind: 

 - They shed tons 

- They are extremely hard to train 

- They can sleep up to 14 hours a day as they are low activity dogs 

- They cannot handle high temperatures and humidity, over exposure to this type of weather can cause immediate or long-term health problems ranging from heat stroke to organ damage 

- They have facial folds which need to be cleaned and they need to be brushed everyday 

 - Their nails grow fast and need to be trimmed often 

 - Their anal sacs must be drained every now and then 

 If you don’t have the time, money or willingness to commit the next 12 years to a dog that may have frequent and significant health problems, don’t get a Pug.

what did humans do to deserve dogs

[lizzymercierdescloux1979-deacti]

things girls do that I love:

offer their friends sips of their coffee drinks without being asked

scratch each others back

say things like “smell this lotion I bought this weekend”

compliment each other’s eyebrows 

that thing when they agree with you and their eyes get really wide and they nod their head solemnly 

throw out each others gum wrappers or chip bags when they get up

Real shit

If my dog trusts you, I trust you. You don’t even have to like dogs but if my dog gives me the high soon and is like “this person’s cool af” you’re aces in my book.
