Some office I had installed internet for had an Irish wolf hound in a room with a California King sized bed in it and the dog took up at least half the bed. Biggest fucking dog I’ve ever seen.
The goodest steed.
A Great Dane was the only dog that ever gave me a fight or flight response. When I was about 13 years old I visited my aunt & uncle and they were dogsitting a massive Great Dane. When I opened their door he was staring at me at eye level and I thought I was about to die, full adrenaline dump, the whole works. Then he started slobbering all over me and we became friends.
Shame about the ears :(
Ear cropping is so pointless.
It’s evil, I love my rescued girl to death. But man I’d like to meet the assholes who cropped her ears in a dark alley.
My vet told me to consider it because my floppy eared hound dog gets chronic ear infections.
Can I get a medical exemption on the ear cropping anger please?
Oh my God my o Plott hound’s war was a yeast factory despite medicine.
You too? My plott has a full on biome in her ear
Unfortunately he’s playing with all of our pets on the rainbow bridge now, but my God I felt awful because it seemed like nothing would work to kill the infection (vet meds) and he just had itchy ears…
I can’t wait to adopt/rescue my next stubborn ass Plott
I had to resort to a noflap ear wrap…looks like she’s wearing a babushka. At least that keeps her from scratching it raw
Wait, people really do that?
Yes, it’s pretty commonly done to some breeds of dogs with naturally floppy ears. They should look like the big guy’s ears in this picture:
You learn something everyday. My knee-jerk reaction : such a shame to mutilate pets so they look like what we want…
Your knee-jerk reaction is correct!
They do, it’s unfortunate. We had an English springer spaniel growing up, and went to get him as a puppy. They had already docked his tail and didn’t want to give him to us before doing his ears, and we were just like “oh no no, let us pay for that”, they agreed, and then we never spoke to them again and his ears remained lovely and floppy.
He did have to wag his entire butt though because of the tail, unfortunately.
They probably fucked up his tail, too D:
Nice horse. I’m sorry it’s a what?
That is a horse.
Verbatim what I said out loud
If he gets excited his tail would knock things off counters and tables.
This 100% not real. The shadow of the front left paw ends abruptly.
I hope that doggo is well trained, otherwise that jar of peanut butter is doomed.
Man, how do you keep him from just casually eating everything on the counter? I’m looking at that hat Skippy jar in the background lol.
The same way u stop it from eating ur face off. U train it to behave itself.
That’s too big!!
A dog that can snatch food off the counter without jumping… I cannot fathom dog-proofing a house for that.
You just teach your dog not to steal your food. Sounds hard but they do learn that food on counter bad, food in bowl good pretty quick.
Then they learn human not in room food on counter bad but I can get away with it.
That’s why you should leave dogs outside
Training, lots of training. It also applies to you as well!
I think our dog got past 2 years old before we had eaten more pork chops than he had stolen.
He’ll still swipe my daughter’s dinner, if it’s left unattended. At least he will no longer steal it while she’s sat in front of it.
