Look at this abuse and humiliation?! (Kidding of course, Creed is a good pup and texted me that he wants more treats)

ABOOSE. ABOOSE TO MAKE HIM WAIT FOR THE TREAT.

(he got every treat he balanced plus some freebies he conned from my coworker)

I had no idea that people poopoo'd them; labradoodles are my bf's favourite breed, because his family's labradoodle is the most loyal dog he's ever known.

oh duuude. you wouldn’t believe the amount of people that hate doodles. it usually comes from a lot of breed snobs/elitists who think crossing breeds is a horrible idea. but also like @saraplaintall / @wisconsinratpack said it’s mostly the Doodle People™ that everyone hates.... aka the people the go out get a batshit crazy, poorly bred, BYB/Craigslist doodle on a whim, don’t train it, don’t brush/groom it, and expect it to be the Perfect Couch Potato Family Pet™ bc it’s cute and that’s what their friend’s brother’s cousin’s uncle’s wife said. :’))))

You are sparkly stars today! One for each smol dog? ;)

I am currently naked because it’s hot and this is my house.

Sometimes I’m naked in my yard because it’s hot, this is my house and nobody can see into my yard.

One time I was drying myself after a shower and Thistle licked my butt O_O

I don’t own a bath, just shower but I think I would like a japanese style bath installed for good ol soakings...but...that’s why i don’t like baths, soaking in own juices D:

more special stars! i don’t really have anymore special facts (esp considering the last one was kinda a downer) so here’s some more good regular facts.

my family’s first dog was a beagle/weimaraner mix named bailey. my parents told us he was a washed police dog (maybe for drug sniffing?) but idk how truthful that is lol. they adopted him as a young puppy only a couple of months after i was born. he sparked my love for dogs and was a nice little family pet. he only howled/barked when semi trucks passed on the road behind the house and napping was his favorite pastime. 

i love going barefoot. there’s nothing better than nice cool grass under your feet on a warm summer day. i also have never stepped on glass or a bee or anything (knock on wood) while going barefoot.

What about Rat Terriers? (Wisconsinratpack asking from main blog)

Rat terriers are on my list of “dogs Jaz wants when he’s old”! I didn’t know rat terriers existed until I was describing a dog I’d seen to @pawsitivelypowerful which was effectively “looked like a Jack, but on stilts and also not round?”

After that I became friends with a rat terrier breeder who is also a doberman person, and I coo over her puppy pictures on a regular basis. There’s currently a rat terrier in one of my classes too, he’s a lover and a sweetheart considering he’s a very recent rescue.

ROUGH COLLIE

A+ DOG i prefer smooth but still an A+ dog! I really like the NOOOOOSE even tho it goes FOREVER. Super stable calm dogs, so smart, GREAT size like my ideal dog size absolutely perfect size! I like the ones with the 77 ears i love 77 ears so much but tooooooo much grooming as much grooming as the nose is long nooooooo.

I know a few! We had one when I was really young, but I don’t remember her much except my dad was always brushing her and I HATED it. There’s also one owned by a pure R+ trainer around here, I like when we see that dog at market events because Thistle draws calm from that dog so much and also the trainer is nice. Her dog, I cannot remember the name, but it was playing with other dogs one day and broke it’s neck from playing too hard!! But it is ok, with lots of luck and work and physiotherapy the dog is mostly good now except when tired she drags her front foot a bit so she wears one booty on that foot.

But she’s a super smart and stable dog, not hugely interest in people but grade a dog manners and i love her.

@saraplaintall replied to your post “To be honest, I feel really bad for Knight.  Earlier this week, it was...”

Can you throw him a bunch of extra hay? Generally, the more he keeps eating roughage it’ll help keep the gut and such moving and making more body heat. I’m in WI and have to blanket my gelding as he doesn’t grow a winter coat. He was actively shivering today

They do have hay available, but as he’s bottom of the pecking order I can’t put out another bale for him without the risk of him being pushed away from it. Plus, I don’t even know if they would eat it honestly. The herd is used to moving and grazing, when we went to check on them tonight they seemed to be doing that mostly.
