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.

Hey c/dogs, meet Bo (left, mine) and Marlo (right, his visiting cousin). They are hanging out by the poo, like they do.

They look like they're up to no good. Like you caught them plotting a prank and they were like "oh heck the hooman is watching us"

They are frequently up to no good. It's like boys having a sleepover, more or less, they run and play, get into fights over toys, etc. Marlo is actually very possessive of pretty much everything. Bo is very cuddly and likes his pats, and here's what happens ten seconds after Marlo sees Bo getting attention.
