PUPPY!!!!!!!

eh don't stress about it. neko was 2 yo when we got her and house-trained. never peed in our apartment. then i took her work and she would just pee and shit on the concrete floor. pretty soon i figured out the times she likes to go out (she lets me know now anyway, but when we first got her, she wouldn't). a few months went by, she was all good, then she just decides to start pissing on the floor at work again! it stopped, thankfully. probably just her way of making sure that i know who's really the boss.

and if birdie is going on a pee pad, that's still pretty good. and dog pee is mostly odorless. there is also a spray you can get to encourage them to go while they're outside, but it didn't really work for us (neither did the repellent spray, either).

that makes me feel better. it's hard to be patient sometimes!

Bird!

omg <3

neko likes to do that on the couch and the bed. surprising, both are still in one piece.

and yeah, it just takes a really long time to train. wish tza was still posting here, she's the best and knows lots about dog stuff. we've been pretty lax about really training neko but we taught her 'shake' so that's all that really matters, right??

She's beautiful!
Don't know what the weather's doing in Karl's part of the world, but sometime pups that pick up being house-trained fast have a big lapse if the weather turns cold or wet--they want to be obedient, but not as much as they want to stay warm and dry.

Would bringing the pads with you on your outdoor potty breaks be of use? Caveat: I learned that trick from Bruce Almighty.

my dog's outer eyelid doesn't close all the way when she sleeps sometimes, and it makes her look super creepy:

aw, is she a husky? a good friend of mine's alaskan husky used to do that!

yeah she's a siberian husky (UM HELLO have you not seen the 1001 photos of her on facebook already??). it seriously freaked me the fuck out the first time - especially bc her eyes/inner lids will kinda twitch and roll really fast while she sleeps - she looks demonic in a way that doesn't come across in photos.

Having a demon dog might really come in handy sometimes though. If the apocalypse comes you're going to be set

"If"? Surely you mean "when."

I'm always prepared for the realization that the apocalypse already happened and our experience is just the dying moments of some machine looping in on itself

o_O

#mindblown

Haha omg Neko's sleep face is terrifying

it's grosser when her outer lid is completely open, while her inner lid is closed and she's "looking" right at me. that was the first time i've managed to get a pic bc she normally wakes up before i can.

Am disappointed I missed all the puppy action

yeah - siberians rule but that's not a PUPPY!!!!!!! pix!

I started this thread and the original PUPPY!!! is almost 7 years old, an old man but also still an immature goof

my puppy turns 13 next week.

xpost

great photo

7 years isn't really "old man" for a smallish dog, no? more like robust middle age.

late middle age, i suppose...

also, i found this youtube very moving:

the girlfriend is clearly just overwhelmed. the way the puppy struggles to get up into her lap, and then once s/he does just curls into her arms.... aw man.

Xps I still consider her my puppy! And she acts like a baby most of the time.

nah well he is a robust middle age man but he is so lanky and porky compared to his early years xp

That inner eyelid has a rather wonderful name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nictitating_membrane

My so-called puppy is 17 and a half:

I know I already posted this on his thread but not everyone sees that so B just had a birthday and lil mister greybeard can tell you how old he is himself:

Ha! The expression on Benson's traumatised little face!

I know. That's basically his default expression though and he liked the hat! He didn't even try to get it off. lol. Weirdo.

so a friend's dog is having pups rn and he's live streaming it

like, in case you're into that sort of thing

i have never seen a dog birth so i'll watch in the name of science

slow moving so far, tbh

/|\ we have two puppies /|\

three puppies!

i just learned that mom dogs eat their own placentas right up

probably one of the less gross things a dog is willing to eat.

was gonna say

Bump.

I remember the time when a revive of this or the kitten thread would be a cause for celebration. Fucking Trump and his fascists.
