Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

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.

All her best smells were on that cover!

Unfortunately that included her being sick on it this morning

I know. How dare I?

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Waitll you start washing her

[–] hactar42@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah, she's definitely overdue for that too

Mixed-breed puppies are the best!

A beautiful mix for a beautiful snoot.

I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out: 2 bed covers. Then, every time it's time to wash one, as you go to switch 'em, you get her excited about the one that's been in the closet since last wash. No more sad times.
