Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
  2. This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.

Eli loves swimming in lakes and rivers. He will lay in a stream and slowly blep up the water. He will, under no circumstances, go into the bath willingly.

Luckily, he is a good gentle boy and will allow me to put his paws in to get into the tub. Once he is washed and rinsed, we dry, and dry, and dry. We have to blow dry him after he is towel-dried or he will mildew.

Being blow dried is also one of his favorite things, which is good because it takes three people half an hour to get it done. It would go faster if I had one of those harnesses that stopped him from laying down and rolling over, but he will will over if you are gentle.

Our 11 year old dog Domino just passed early this morning. She was the world to our family. Sweetest dog I have ever known, and as this was my first pet, I have to say this is an extremely hard day. Here is a pic of her several months ago giving us love. I only hope we gave her a great life.

He's our rescue. He has some PTSD/anxiety issues from his past life, so he's on Prozac. Based on his teeth, the vet thinks he is between 4 and 6 years old. Based on how he moves around like an old man, I'm inclined to think he's closer to 6.

Hi!

I'm @isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca, I'm the new moderator for this community as the previous moderators have been missing for over a year.

I've cleaned up some AI-generated content that has been posted here recently and removed some posts that were void of content.

I have a second account, @isVeryLoud@lemmy.world, promoted to moderator so I can consult the modlog for this community.

The rules have been updated to better reflect what belongs and does not belong in this community.

Please do not hesitate to reach out below or via PM if you have any suggestions regarding the new rules.

Dog tax attached. This is Daisy.

Cheers!
