That is a GREAT Site! Pretty sure I NEED those cat leggings, now - and my 19 year old body back! ;)
So you’ve trained your dog to not lick his ass.
Makes me wonder how the inevitable task is getting accomplished.
LOL!
What part about “Not in my house” did you not understand?
If you licked your dogs azz to accomplish it for him good on you.
So he only licks it when he’s outside?
I don’t have a dog.
I loved my two boxers, but our current dog is a 30-lb French bulldog. She’s no fragile dog, and as solid as any bulldog or boxer.
It’s easier to take her to the vet or on vacation, but she doesn’t go to restaurants or bars with us.
And unlike cats, he didn’t shxt in my house either.
Good kitty!
I’ve had dogs and cats all my life-I live in a rural area where everyone has dogs and cats. My dog-a Siberian Husky, died a few years ago at almost 18 years old-I may never get another dog-she was that special to me...
The tourists that book airB&Bs, RV spaces and cabins out here see this and dump their unwanted pets here in the woods-if they survive the mountain lions, coyotes and loose dogs, someone will rescue and keep them or find them a new home. I have 5 indoor cats-all rescued pets-I’ve had them neutered/spayed, and they keep my house pest-free-that is their job. I refer to them as my ungrateful shelter cats...
I am also one of the people who rescues, feeds and shelters those dumped cats and finds them new homes with people who will love them. My neighbor does the same for dumped dogs. I’ve never bought a cat-always got them at a shelter or rescued them. My cats usually live 18-20 years.
My youngest cat-a black female named Lilith-is a year old. She was someone’s Christmas kitten they decided to put outdoors at the RV park where they were staying-being a snack-sized kitten only about 5 weeks old, she ran to hide-and promptly got lost. The owners couldn’t find her and left on their travels without her, but she found her way here and came onto the deck begging for attention and food. My other 4 cats were charmed by her-so she’s still here...
I’m a big dog person who also likes cats. Sounds like you put your pets in the same category as livestock, accessories or equipment, rather than working and companion animals...
