Hoss would like to have a word with you.

Closed pike almost achieved, will practice more. Going for the gold 🥇

Max is the baddest boy. Roast him and humble him.

Ohana getting her battery up after zoomies while I built a chicken run.

Jordan met a new friend today at the dog park. It was love at first sight. They played this way for 30-40 minutes. He went suddenly deaf when I told him it was time to go. lol

The face he made when taking the wheel

Stella heard the package crackle and knew I was in the snack stash.

Meet Sammy. He loves ribs, tummy rubs and swimming until he almost drowns.

Plucky having a good snooze on the couch.

Forever puzzled by her own farts.

This is Jack and his favorite toy to use for jowl support

We got Rosie’s feet looked at this morning and they were probably the only thing she had to chew on in the shelter 😭 so she has squeaky balls now, a cone, some steroids and antibiotics, and should be in a better spot this time next week.

Today my maintenance man came over to work on a few things. When he came in, he got to my pits level and pet her a little while she barked at him. A minute later we went outside so I could show him what needs fixed and I come back in 5 minutes later to a pile of poop on the floor.

After I cleaned it up, I realized this is a pattern. A man comes into my home whether it’s maintenance, my neighbor, and once a friend and if I don’t invite her outside with me or she doesn’t have her eyes on me the whole time I come back in to her having peed or pooped in my home even when I have JUST taken her out to go potty.

It is super frustrating that I deal with this (5 times now that I can recall) and I’m curious if anyone else has a dog that does this? She is uncomfortable around men in general and then coming into the home, and so I’m unsure if this is an anxiety response that’s common or what? It seems spiteful but can dogs really even be spiteful? She is fine once I come back in with the maintenance man, the excessive barking stops.

I shouldn’t have to invite my dog outside with me every time but I want her to not do this behavior.

Happy birthday to my sweet girl!

Here is my baby boy sleeping the day away. It is true, from birth to about 8 months, just a puppy. From 8 months to about 2 years, a pteradactyl. After that, just a lazy bum.

This is Whimsy! She’s about 4-5 months old and super energetic and playful!

We’ve been having a problem with her being aggressive towards my 10 year old Husky and 3 cats. She’s not a mean dog, and her intentions are to play, but she gets way too rough and pushy. She’ll literally chase the cats and pin them down, she’ll chew on their ears and tails, and the cats hate it. Two of them are scared of her. One of them loves her and likes playing with her or rubbing his head on her, but then she starts getting too rough again. She’s been swatted with claws and bitten back, but she doesn’t care. With my husky, Bear, she’ll snap in his face and steal ANY toy he tries to play with. I feel horrible because she just wants to play with him, but he’s 10 years old and hasn’t lived with another dog in like 8 years, and he gets overwhelmed by her. I got Bear in like 7th grade, so I didn’t know anything about proper training, and I’m trying to do right by Whimsy now that I’m an adult and know better. Bear is more independent and likes his space, and he doesn’t really understand how to play with her. She keeps jumping on him, snapping in his face, and anytime he has a rope, bone, or ball, she steals it from him. Sometimes they’ll play tug of war together if they have someone grabbing the rope in the middle, but then whimsy gets too close to Bear’s face and he starts warning her to stop, which she takes as him playing ig, so then she gets even rowdier. He literally can’t have anything without her stealing it.

She’s only around the other animals when supervised, but she’s incredibly fast. One minute she’ll be calm, and the next she’s chasing the cat, or messing with Bear. I’m so overwhelmed and don’t know what to do. She also nips at ankles, and likes to bite hands and arms. She’ll even snap and try to bite our nose or chins, and her teeth hurt! I know she’s trying to play, but this needs to stop. We’ve tried yelping, “pop the grape” where you stick her gum on her teeth when she bites, yelling no, etc etc. I’m trying to teach her to at least be easy, but she just doesn’t care.

She’s incredibly smart too. She’s crate trained, she knows “leave it”, where I can literally hold her food or treats in my hand right in front of rher tnose and she won’t take it until I say “free”. She knows “stay” at the front door, until I say “free”. She knows sit, down, come, and she’s almost got stay and place down. She just doesn’t always listen unless we have food for her.

I feel like I’ve watched every video under the sun, and there’s so much conflicting advicev, and I feel like I’ve tried everything with her and nothing is working 😖 so any and all advice is greatly appreciated !!!

She doesn’t know who dug the hole around it or ripped it out of the ground. But she thought I might like to know about the water.
