All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.

Rules (Will be refined later on).

  1. Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.

  2. No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
    Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here.

  3. All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.

  4. Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.

  5. Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

It means we'll get some damn peace at home lol

And it's a fact that dogs alternate between graceful and goofy when they run.

Right now we're at the "sitting in the lobby and watching people get on and off" stage of desensitization.

They are strays at our city park, some heartless prick dropped them off around last April. They need a forever home, somewhere with a wide open but fenced in field to play. And yes, they must be adopted together.

We do what we can in the meantime, keep them fed, watered and cleaned up. But we cannot adopt them, apartment rules forbid it, plus they're too hyperactive to stay indoors for long.

Edit: They're both males.

Conclusion

Baking soda is safe if ingested in small amounts but dogs can experience baking soda toxicosis if they swallow larger amounts. Ingesting baking soda doesn’t have known health benefits for dogs, so it’s best to refrain from giving it to them. If your dog does accidentally ingest a significant amount of it, make sure to contact your veterinarian or an animal poison control hotline for further assistance.

He's either violating the laws of physics or he has a clone that lives on the other side of town.

My dog Charlie this morning for reference purposes:

Being a failed clone that was rejected from a science lab does explain why he is extremely stupid.
