The dog thread is better than the cat thread, because it features dogs.

I see that some of you were talking about rescued dogs and thought you might be interested in seeing where Neo was rescued from. (He was destined to be dinner.) Neo's the one not tied up or caged. He would have been about six months old at the time.

It's a hard life being a small dog. Who now costs us a lot of money in dog care. I think we get value, but she always wants a little more. This is still after a day at school and then flirt pole when we got in, plus a good bit of ball throwing as we sat and had beers in the garden. ;D

Haddie was used as "bait," meaning dogfighters would get their mutts to attack her as training.

People who fight dogs are the lowest kind of scum. Their punishment should be to be used as "bait" themselves.Bait dog given loving home

Dog refusing to go play in the sea because he's a scaredy cat.
Shortly after this some staffie attacked him, and then me when I tried to get the fucking thing off. Luckily it was wearing a harness so I was able to just pick it up and throw it, which I had to do twice because the fucking thing came back for another go.
Owner was nowhere to be seen. He eventually appeared, turned out he'd released the dog before actually coming down onto the beach himself so had no hope of controlling it or even noticing that it was attacking people. I told this guy his dog was a piece of shit and he just said, 'oh it's someone else's dog I'm just looking after it'. Not even, 'sorry'. Didn't know how to respond to that so I just told him he was a stupid fucking cunt who should fuck off, or something along those lines.
Our poor dog now has bite marks round both his eyes, and I've got scratches down both my arms.
I don't give a fucking shit about the feelings of 'good' staffie owners at this point tbh. The breed has an innate capacity for doing shit like this and if you get a staffie, you do so in full knowledge of the fact that they have caused a lot of harm and that lots of people are afraid of them.
We always walk Ted on a lead because (as documented here numerous times!) if he sees a deer, that’s him gone for hours. But when people approach, they don’t know why he’s on a lead. He could be dangerous or nervous, he could get into fights with other dogs, anything. Despite this, it is astonishing how many dog owners do absolutely nothing to stop their dog running straight up to us. Often, to be honest, it is a spaniel that, if I did have a dangerous dog, would be dead in one mouth snap. And of those who do attempt to restrain their dog, at least half are ineffectual at it. I despair, I really do.

Could be body laungage though? If its a bigger dog or one that the owner is trying to keep away from Willow, one word and she stays well away.
If the other dog is wagging it's tail and looking friendly the terrier selective hearing has been known to kick in.
No, because for a long time Ted did have a problem with other dogs — or rather, they had a problem with him — and he regularly got attacked. Made no difference — people still did nothing to stop their dogs rushing up to us, even with us shouting at them to keep their dog away.
I’ve got to tell you too, body language is not necessarily a safeguard. Plenty of dogs will appear friendly right up to the point that they make a snack of your terrier. If somebody has their dog on a lead, please make their life easier and avoid risk and keep your dog away from them.

Honestly - and this is coming from a position of I love dogs but some humans are a bit shit - when I lived in Surrey I used to both work as a stablehand and also for leisure exercise some local farm horses, and the number of idiot dog owners who would let their dogs run up to horses without even attempting to call them back. Once I was exercising a very young and nervous mare, 4 years old and only just saddle trained and what would be described as a nervous disposition, I was a good and experienced rider and horse handler, but sometimes there's only so much you can do.
On a bridlepath, a woman with 2 GSDs (probably lovely dogs, but inquisitive and not under control) off lead, the dogs run up to us, I ask her to call them away. "Oh it's alright, they won't hurt you" she cheerily says as one of the dogs is sniffing the mare's belly while she is shaking in fear. Absolutely terrified horse was calm for longer than I honestly expected then in complete panic rears, bucks, and starts kicking out - basically reacting instinctively to what she perceives as a predator. I am thrown off and injure my arm, the horse is off away down the bridlepath by herself at a gallop in a complete state of terror, and the dog that got too close has been kicked and is now injured, and the idiot woman is threatening to sue me for her veterinary bills (which I should add obviously didn't happen as it would have been a ridiculous lawsuit).
Love dogs, hate humans sometimes.

it's usually the humans that are the problem...
Yeah I think it mostly is, but often because they’re trying to make the dog into, or expect the dog to fit into a model that doesn’t suit it or them

They're the weak link for sure.

Would have been a short lawsuit at least.
'Were your dogs on a lead and under control?'
'No'
'Then get the fuck out of my courtroom'

Well done. You remember cat good.

Dogs' eyes well up with tears of joy when reunited with their owners
New research has suggested a dog's eyes well up with tears of happiness when reunited with their owner after a period of absence. The tears may help cement the bond between human and dog -- a relationship that goes back tens of thousands of years.

Our foster girl is doing well, but she has needed a bit of toilet training. We think she's potentially got cystitis and several other problems which the vets are looking into too. Sometimes we think she struggles to get out in time and so she has gone on the carpet. First time today in a week. Not ideal in a rental.
We've got a spot cleaner and use baking soda. Any particular cleaners people have found helpful for in house using a spot cleaner? And also for outside.
