Sounds like he will be a handful 😆 I'd definitely start crate training. It's worth the struggle at the beginning. My pup puts herself in the crate when she sees me pick up my work bag, I watch her on camera while I'm gone and she usually just sleeps until I get home. It keeps them safe and it's good to have them comfortable with a crate in case you ever need one for travel, vet etc. Start slow, only use it for positive things and slowly build the time they spend in there. Think of it like a bedroom. Lots of dogs like the routine and a safe space. It also helps with separation anxiety and calm greetings. The one time we left her loose (thinking we puppy proofed the bedroom) she shredded a toy and I thought she had swallowed it so we wasted 200$ at emergency vet to find out she was fine LOL. She actually gets stressed if we don't crate her because she thinks we forgot her and she rings her doorbell and sits by the front door 😂
I miss the puppy phase so much. She's only a yr and a half it goes by so quickly ♥️
Grew into them finally lol
Those ears make me think of a koala bear 🤣♥️
The cone head ears 🤣 my girl went through a phase like that. She ended up with one uppy ear and one floppy.
The dodo codes app is good for this you can add people one by one
I believe it's no longer set as a standard and responsible breeders are trying to reverse it. I'm not into dog shows but I have read a few times that it's becoming banned to encourage/use in show because it's damaging to their hips and spines. I have a neighbor who got their dog from a breeder and his poor little back is so sloped he limps and drags his feet all the time. My dog is a mixed girl and my vet commented on how strong and straight her back and hips are and that she sees far too many gsds/gsd mixes with hip issues. Breaks my heart to see them set up for a life of pain and especially issues as they age.
Some of the dogs in this diagram have such bad spines and hips it hurts to look at 😐
I haven't had experience with it but I have seen people use a sling-like harness on their hind end with a handle on it to help their dogs get up off the floor. You could try grippy socks for in the house and place everything he needs on the floor so he doesn't need to jump up for anything. Maybe you can get him some pain meds or anti inflammatory medicine from the vet for now. Keep him busy and in one spot (crate if he likes it) by using food puzzles, frozen Kong, good chew toys and spending time with him. If he likes TV or music you could keep that on for him for some level of enrichment. He's gonna have to get used to chillin for his recovery time anyways so try to build those habits now. Yoga mat might be nice for him to hang out on aswell.
Airbags kill so many dogs each year, please put him in the back seat with a seatbelt attachment or in a carrier ! Safer for pup. It's illegal to have pets in the front seat in many places because of this and the fact that their bones can impale the human who's lap they are sitting on if you were in an accident. Car rides are more fun for everyone when they are safe.
My neighbor made that mistake, they have to walk them separately because they go bonkers together and drag her. She walks them separately now and they still aren't great 🤣 cute but very chaotic. It's possible to keep a dog well socialized without them having a second dog in the home. I'd space it apart personally
A lot of people love the characters they had from the original game on the GameCube
Mine is really good too and she is allowed on furniture but when I tell her to get off she does the crack head derp face and tries to zoom or dead weight me and flip on her back 🤣
I'm sorry not to be a party pooper but I hate seeing like 4 of these posts every single day. Without the paperwork or DNA test you won't know and neither will random people on reddit. He looks happy and thats what should matter.
Crate training is good for many reasons but it has to be done properly and never used as a punishment. Many dogs use their crate as a bedroom and a safe space. They can aid in potty training and behavior modifications for dogs with food aggression or dogs who are insecure around other pets and need a getaway. It also keeps puppies safe from eating things they shouldn't or potentially fighting with other pets etc. Crates are sometimes required at the vet or during travel so its good to atleast have your dog comfortable with a crate. Similar to muzzle training. You don't want your dogs first time being muzzled to be during an emergency or when they are injured and add to the stress. My dog is crate trained, she goes in her crate while I am at work and she understands the routine and we do not leave her in there all day. She has a blanket, a fan, her 2 Kong chew toys and water. We watch her on camera and she mainly sleeps while she's in there. She actually gets stressed if we leave the house and don't put her in the crate because it's not her regular routine and she thinks we forgot to bring her, she will bark at the door and stress until we come back. She sleeps in her crate at night by choice, the door is open and she is allowed on our bed but she loves her little bedroom in her crate. Choosing an appropriate sized crate, introducing it slowly and only in a positive way is key. Crates can also help prevent separation anxiety that puppies often develop when they are with their human 24/7 and don't have the chance to become independent or cope without someone holding them. Crates shouldn't be used as an excuse to put your pet away so you don't have to deal with them, if you don't have time for a pet don't get one !
I'm watching criminal minds and eating beets right now 🤣
If you start over and have online you can visit my island or I'll come to yours and give you a starter pack with all the fruit, veg, bells and a bunch of spare diys. Unfortunately there's no way to transfer your character to the rep.
Help! How can I become the leader of the Island?
