DOGS

I like dog smell! It reminds me of dogs.

my previous dog used to roll in cowshit and horseshit was an equisite snack to him, thankfully this is not really a thing with my present dog. For all his annoying peccadillos he isn't a stinker.

Yeah my house might smell like my dog but that’s ok, my dog smells great, it reminds me of my dog, and she rules

Cat owners houses don’t smell like cats, they smell like cat piss and shit and the smell does not remind me of their lovely pets, it reminds me of allergies, property damage, depression, sanctimony, negligent parents, the KKK, that short story by Joan Didion that ends with a five year old on drugs, the uncomfortable feeling you get when you’re having a conversation with somebody who is talking gregarious but has a manic dangerous look in their eyes, soiled mattresses and couches left curbside, and disgraced politicians

How normal

So damn otm it hurts.
Re:cat smell. Outside cats, problem solved

Also I have many signatories how can attest that Peach doesn't stink, besides the occasional frito smell

But like for real, some dogs reek, some don't. No cats reek, but what they expel does so you know, let em do it outside if it's a possibility to your living environment

There’s nothing I enjoy more than cat owners who’ve done leash training. I love seeing a cat out for a walk. Hello!!

i wanna do that someday soooo bad, but i wouldn't put a cat through it unless i sensed they had the right personality for it

It's cute seeing a cat following a human with a leashed dog and trying to keep up with them with rapid bursts of pace and then cowering in fight or flight mode in between. Used to see one like that in the local park and it was a very funny daily show.

How normal

Fuckin cats come and piss in our yard and under the porch and it reeks of ammonia, wtf cats go piss in your own house. The smell drives our dog nuts, I have let her out in the yard to chase the cats, in her younger days she was fast enough that she could catch them.

Also there were a lot of double Vizla owners at the park I used to frequent with my dog in Minneapolis. My dog can really run (and moreso at that time) so she'd race around with them, but would always get tired and stop before them. That lead me to wonder if people get two of that breed so they can tire each other out, because one alone has too much energy for anyone else.

The low moan Widget emits when he sees a random cat is pure Baskervilles but the only time he’s actually interacted with a cat, it was a teeny weeny but hard grocer’s cat who booped his snoot, and I couldn’t get him within 20m of the shop after that.

My mother always hated cats (with the exception of Pyewacket in Bell Book and Candle) because she felt they were ‘sneaky’.

That's another word for clever. Which they are.

That's my guess too - I used to meet single Vizsla owners who looked desperate during the pandemic, just saying 'He's been running for three hours. He isn't tired.'

They're handsome dogs and I can see how that a first timer might not realise that 'energy level' is just about the most important thing to get right.

i feel like my springer could give them a run for their money.

What I'm getting out of this is how glad I am that Joan Didion is dead, that Tory shit.

I walked my brother’s goldendoodle last time I was home and he’s not much more than a puppy so we went on a relatively long walk for his age but his little legs were still trying hard by the time we finished. He managed to rally on the way back to my parents’ house in time to joyfully leap in a puddle, so you can imagine how bad he smelled when he got back.

Basically a goldendoodle. A great lover of puddles.

Smells of dog. I like it. It comforts me.

(feel like this is a not-enough-dog-pictures thread right now)

I feel like if you have a puppy or young dog you don’t let splash through a puddle, what are you doing? Bathe the fella

We’ve just been for a play date with Widget’s whippet buddy Louis, who is blue and white and now covered in mud up to his hocks.

Dogs are capable of emitting farts that put us humans to shame.

I know this is a thing and I am so thankful mine aren't gaseous.

I always wonder about Samoyeds. Do their owners have to bathe them every day? Surely they get filthy every time they go out. They're so beautiful but their grooming needs must be intense.

Benson HATES puddles and always has. He walks around them. Weirdo.

Best Beloved Benson

Our elder dog (German short-haired pointer/pit bull mix) hates to get wet. We literally had to pull her into the river when we had to cross on a hike this summer. Only dog I've ever had like that.

cats are fine but dogs are the best

My boys are like: 🎵we can beat them🎵

Wait is that a Samoyed?? How do you keep them so clean? I like those buddies.

He's a late write-in vote for the overlooked Japanese Spitz

Stuff mostly just brushes off him tbh!

Aw, Spitzy! My grandparents had one of those when I was a kid. Lots of brushing.

aww look interspecies harmony

Dogs are capable of emitting farts that put us humans to shame.

This is true, but smell aside it’s comical when my dog farts because he startles and keeps looking back at his hindquarters like he can’t figure out what happened.

I couldn't possibly get a pic of this lad with a cat unless he was chasing one

what a good boy

One of the last construction projects I did was building a screened in porch/room for a woman’s twelve cats.

I love cats but opening the door to that house would make you retch if you weren’t prepared.

it is interesting to note (and i do so without prejudice, of course) that when a person is called a dog, the connotations are purely negative: the person so called is understood to be low down, dirty, or perhaps mindlessly obedient.

on the other hand, when someone is called a cat it means that they are hep and cool and "with it" and accomplished at jazz.

i just thought that was an interesting socio-linguistic phenomenon 🤔

don't you have an ac/dc thread to whimsically castigate hard rock in?

No one ever got praised for having that cat in them.

So I thought this was a bit, but maybe not?

Interesting. Also correct.

But if you're in a dogfight you're a brave heroic pilot, whereas if you're in a catfight you're a low-class tramp.

despite being the greatest talent, Thelonious Monk had to struggle to make a career for himself through dogged persistence, not catted persistence.
