OUTWARD HOUND

I love German Shepherds, they are geniuses and so "don't fuck with me." If you want an entertainer though, you should get another dog. I had a half Shepherd, loving and fierce but very reserved.

Only thing about the Husky is He has a problem / habit of eating blue jeans when he is frustrated! He had the same issue with shoes when we first got him...he ate all of our crap shoes, never the nice ones.

All my favorite jeans eventually succumbed to Husky frustration. Except for the 501s. Shows his mind is working.

The last German Shepherd I encountered was at a dude's house in India, and the thing was tied up but came fucking flying at us. My gf was all "I sure he's not dangerous" and the owner dude was like "no, he is dangerous, I bought him to scare off robbers". In Britain dog owners will fiercely and loyally deny that their dog is dangerous even if it clearly is, so this perspective was kind of refreshing.

I don't think Buzzfeed are dog people. The dogs in those gifs nearly all look stressed/hot/uncomfortable/in pain. Their cat list was better.

was on my bike today when a car pulled up next to me. gruff middle age/old man with his super duper friendly lookin dog sticking his head out the window. i straight up asked the dude if i could pet the dog. i scratched it behind the ears for a little, then the light turned green and we parted ways. not sure what was better, petting a random dog at a stoplight or finally getting a damn job today.

Always the dog! :-D

jobs can buy dogs!

That first dog wolf looks like a motherfucker with some dark secrets.

On a vaguely related note:

Game Of Thrones fans can now buy their own direwolf. Kind of. Eventually.

....As detailed in this interesting piece from Wired.com, the breeding project isn’t concerned with bringing back true, prehistoric direwolves, for which there’s no remaining genetic material, but rather with creating a domesticated, “wolf-like” companion dog breed that has the look of a direwolf, but with a more gentle temperament (and, presumably, without telepathic connections to their owners). Topping out at 130 pounds and selling for around $3,000—there’s currently a long waiting list for pups—Direwolves v.2.0 look more like adorable cuddle monsters than regal killing machines, but that’s probably for the best. Consider them the canine equivalent of GOT cosplay.

oh, pretty much just American Alsatians

I went with my girlfriend while she looked for a dog this weekend - she wound up adopting a neurotic 8-year old weimaraner. He's pretty cool, very friendly but kind of 'off' - doesn't appear to know what a ball or toys are, etc.. There's a chance he was the stud dog for a backyard breeder/mill in his younger days.

I wanted to adopt this little basset/shepherd mix if I felt better about being responsible for a dog right now:

our new dog Wu (always had cats till now) who is like a Pomeranianish mutt.

I've been wanting a dog really hard for the last couple days, but so much responsibility! But also, so much kisses!

crap, how to embed from instagram.... he is a very cute and well behaved dog anyway, so many people think he is a puppy.

Looks like a puppy. CUUUTE

Thanks!

omg that dog is ADORABLE
look at that snout
look at that tongue and those white little teeth!

i love having dogs, it's good for my general well-being

We just got our big guy back after he spent a week with my wife's mother, it was the longest they'd ever been separated (he's 6 and she's had him since puppydom). Such a happy reunion!

My new company recently launched. We are making a wireless dog activity monitor that syncs your dog's (or dogs') activity through Bluetooth (to your mobile phone) or (through WiFi) directly to our servers.

Cool! When I get a dog eventually—and that WILL happen—I may get this gizmo.

Hang on, $10 shipping? That's nuts.

(I realize you probably have zero to do with pricing, but that seems high.)

I think that's just a placeholder. Note: "Actual shipping costs will be confirmed at ship time."

i appreciate this tech but i would just have a long list of

*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is farting*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*
*henry is lying down*

awesome. good luck

I would find this handy. One of my dogs has joint and/or muscle problems and his mobility is limited. However, I'm well aware that he plays up to me, and I'd be curious to know how much he moves around when I'm not at home or after I've gone to bed.

This could also be a good thing for dogs with separation anxiety, to see if their dogs do settle down and go asleep after they've gone out or remain active (and possibly distressed) for the whole day. If I hadn't had noise complaints from my neighbours some years ago, I never would have known how much the dogs hated being left alone during the day.

What I'm really holding out for, though, is a microchip with a GPS tracker in it, so that I can find my dog if it ever gets stolen.

Hahah JJJ otm. Benson's monitoring would be pretty damn similar, I think.
