The New Offical Mutts of the House thread

[stig]

Just be happy it was only fox shit, Mick.
We were working next to an x-mas tree plantation where a lot of Polish workers were trimming trees, once.
My former partner's dog found the place where one had been taking a dump.

I still have the mental picture of him driving home with the dog in the car, all windows open and his head stuck as far out of the driver's side window as it would go.

That is yucky even by normal dog standards.

The classic around these parts is taking your dog out to the lake/river during salmon spawning season,near the end. When they're dead and rotting everywhere.

Interesting!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Making sure his girl does not get in too deep...

 

[Burnham]

You are NOT going out in that big-azz ocean, my little lady!

Anyone recognize that breed?

 

[Fiddler]

Not me ...I was wondering myself...overgrown scotty

Riesenschnauzer.

Giant Schnauzer in English, I think ( Riesen means giant in German)

Great dogs, but very strong willed, somewhat hard to train.

Very protective of their pack, I can't think of a better friend for a little girl.
Nobody is ever going to mess with her.

Jack, my newest dog is ½ Riesenschnauzer and lives up to the reputation of being hard to train.
He absolutely refused to lay down on my command, eventually got himself so worked up about it that it was impossible to get any where with it.

So I completely gave it up for 2 months untill he had forgotten about it, and just last week started again.
Now he drops down with the two others when I give the descending whistle that I use as lay down command, and seem happy to do so.

 

[woodworkingboy]

It would be cool to know the workings of a dog's mind to fear the sea like that.

 

[SeanKroll]

Justin, don't they have Salmon Sickness with dogs? Some parasite on raw, dead fish, IIRC. Name might be wrong.

 

[squisher]

Ha, if they do they ought to put up signs or something. I've seen it many times out at a local park. Dogs covered in dead salmon.

Another thing tall dog owners need to know about is Bloat. Its what got Rupert. Been discussed before. Stig had a miraculous recover for his dog, by drying like a bat outta hell. https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/i...-Bloat-Causes-Signs-and-Symptoms_15682-1.html

Driving, not drying.
Just thought I'd correct that typing error.
Man, I still think about that sometimes.
When I tell people that I made it from here to Haslev animal clinic in 18 minutes, nobody believes me.

How far away is it? Is that metric minutes?

 

[SeanKroll]

Funny what hearing another 'housers voice is like.

 

[Fiddler]

A real auditory treat ain't it?

 

[MasterBlaster]

He was warning you!

All of a sudden Igor has started this vertical jumping. Quite the athlete!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Looks happy to me!

Must not be covered in fox shit this morning.

 

[Mick!]

Still time yet Jim.

 

[Fiddler]

He's ready to eat! Looking god

This is my three-legged bull terrier Floyd. He had a little fight with a rattlesnake and came in second place. An amazing dog!

 

[squisher]

Nice. He looks like a right proper beast. Clean shirt even.
