This Mudi looks like an angsty teen. He is too cool for me.

If your dog is DA then you fucking have to tell your groomers don’t be an asshole

[wiggle--butts]

oh my god who wouldn't tell their groomer that?! vinnie is an asshole around strange dogs in strange situations and I obsess over it every time he goes to the groomer and make sure they know it from the moment we make the appointment.

I remember around this time just a few years ago it was 95F and news crews were interviewing Live Melting Canadians on the streets of Toronto making them talk about how miserable they were.

but nobody is interviewing me about how miserable I am in this endless winter. LEMME COMPLAIN ON TV ITS A DREAM OF MINE.

Can I just say that it’s very disorienting to see snow on the ground when I take my dog out for a walk at 6:30pm when the sun still out?

I’m feeling all kinds of NOPE about this spring weather. WHAT DOES APRIL SNOW BRING? I highly doubt it will be May flowers.

On another note, I had a co-worker a few years ago who had recently immigrated to Canada at the time and one day he said to me, “Canadians love talking about the weather” and I now quote him on that all the time because CANADIANS LOVE TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER.

yesterday morning we had a white out blizzard here and I wish I could’ve shared some of the salt I was shaking out. I was so mad. actually offended. I checked the temperature predictions for the week…I almost cried. it was such a hopeless moment.

I, an American, do also really love talking about the weather. in a hurry? then please don’t try to small talk me with “nice weather we’re havin” or “how bout this weather?!” cuz I am 100% ready to converse deeply about it, usually to complain lmao 😇

[wiggle--butts]

are you from Minnesota?? Because we LOVE taking about the weather. ❄️ today it snowed all morning and then turned into rain and everyone's pissy because it's april and we'd like winter to end now thanks.

My dash isn’t looking like a very happy place right now so if you’re reading this and are feeling a bit down I hope you take the chance to take a deep breath, reset your posture, and hug your dog(maybe they deserve a treat too, just because they’re awesome).

2 kids, also I thought this was a really fat platypus until I read the caption

[aspenthewolfdog-blog]

I’m dying.

I’m going to change this game from “guess how many babies” to “what is my goat actually”

Fat platypus is excellent.

Yam is stunning, thanks @naturepunk

[wiggle--butts]

Oh dear god I am so glad this is a pregnant goat. I thought it was the fattest corgi I've ever seen.

A Borzoi puppy at the dog park! I’ve never seen one in person. He was very soft and very shy.

You have been blessed

I am in a dog group on Whatsapp and they where talking about walking times with the dog. They say big dogs need bigger walks then small dogs! And they spoke about 6H WALKS THREE TIMES THE DAY!

As I told that I have an Sheltie and I mentioned that walkie times where supposed on the dogs - it is individual! And if you are working you can not walk so long!

Sammy is an herding breed and needs much attention! Not only with walkies. I need to train him mentally too. So I go ca. 2-3h a day with trick/mentall training.

As soon as I said it I was told to abuse him because I do not enough!

How long do you walk with your dog? Are they right that I do not enough?

To the people who are done with my whining (I totally understand this, it must be so annoying sometimes. I am so sorry). I tag my whining with “personal” and “halve personal”. So if you only want to see the pictures and read about the happy times, you can block this tag!

[littlewhitefeet]

That can’t be right. Do they mean 6 hours total? Because then I might see their point… If I really stretch my imagination. The average dog sleeps about 12-14 hours a day so if you’re walking them for 18 hours total, you’re really depriving yourself and your dog of much needed rest. Even with my messed up sleep schedule, there’s no way even I could shift sleep to make an 18 hour walk possible.

NiteHawk is a 65# border husky who has seemingly endless amounts of energy - physically and mentally - but even he is plenty stimulated and exercised by our routine.

Our typical weekday: •10-15 min walk before I go to work (because I like to sleep and so does he) •15-25 min on my lunch break •1-2 hours off leash at a 35 acre dog park where he can run and snuffle and be a dog •10-15 min before bed

Occasionally we throw in some trick training but Hawk doesn’t really dig tricks most days. He has to do a couple tricks for his food, but that’s about all I can usually get out of him.

He sleeps really well and does fine while I’m at work so I don’t think there’s any case for him being under-stimulated. Each dog is different but I reallllly have a hard time believing ANY dog would need near constant exercise without recovery time. It’s one thing to take your dog on a nice long hike a couple times a week. To do that much walking every single day is just not feasible no matter how you look at it.

[dantes-divine-comedy]

Forget sleeping. Do these people not work? They just walk dogs all day long, down the Oregon trail. Dante gets a half hour walk and any play time he wants and is perfectly content. He would prefer more things to eat though.

[wiggle--butts]

My dogs are lazy as shit. They actively decline to go on walks. They like parks, car rides etc but don't really care about walks. Play time/wrestling is way more important.
