Aww, what a good boy. I love him. <3 Dogs are the coolest. Cats are cool and all, but dogs have such good hearts. Isn't it crazy how you see an animal in a situation like that and just know "that one's mine"? When I was looking for my second dog, he jumped out at me and I wouldn't settle for any other dog, despite being fostered 3 hours away. He was even "discounted" because he was a "GBD", Generic Black Dog, and nobody wanted him. But the second I saw his picture, I was like yep, that's my dog.

My other dog's name is Jack!

Another story: Jack picked his name. He was found chained to a tree with a nametag that said Blaze but the people who fostered him said he never even flinched when they'd call him that. A few weeks into being fostered, they were talking about someone named Jack, and "Blaze" started going absolutely nutso, jumping on everyone, licking them, just totally came to life after being so timid and shy and scared of everything. They were like uhhh wtf? They calmed him down, waited a little while, said "Jack" again, and he did the same exact thing. No idea what that's about, but he freaking loves the name Jack. He'll even hear it on tv or something and look straight at it like "Hey, that's me."

Very true, we would probably have limit the number of submissions to the photo repository to one regular photo and (maybe) a few seasonal photos and before @Hummingbirdee starts to look up weird and obscure holidays/seasons/phases of the moon to justify all the pictures we should probably go by the federal holiday calendar and even that is too many holidays.

I can see this getting out of hand and somehow @Hummingbirdee does manage to secretly make TurkerHub into BearnieHub at least in the way of all the 404(s).

 

You already know this, but the man I caregive for has a Doberman. <3

 

@ChrisTurk I will go ahead and apologize in advance for opening my mouth on this one, I will just go sit in the corner now.

Yeah, I knew I wanted Perry and my giant monster Titan. The other two kinda happened because they were street dogs. Ginger was completely covered in ringworm when I found her. I almost didn't want to have her at my house because she would infect the others, but I was convinced to make a little dog house for her in the utility yard that I have behind my pool house. It's cut off from the rest of the yard, so it wouldn't affect the other three. It took me about five months to get her completely clear of ringworm, it was so bad. She didn't even have any hair when I found her. Just weekly baths with prescription shampoo and lots of ointment. The littlest dog just wandered up to me in a rain storm when she was a little puppy. No tag, no microchip. I just kept her and she is my little fire ball. She thinks she's as big as the mastiff, but weighs about 12 lbs. Titan is a pure breed though. I actually went to a reputable breeder for him. He was the one that wanted to just rip stuff up and attacked my shoelaces the second I stepped into the pen with all the puppies. I picked him up and he immediately started trying to lick my face, so I took him home. He is a total meat head, but so much fun. I love have big dogs.

 

Dammit I get through that whole wall of text and fuck up the last sentence.

 

You guys are making me really miss my dog

 

The tedlab hit submits if you hit enter.

I already told them I'd redo it. I hate when requesters use a platform that autosubmits and isn't f$*^ing batch.

 

Same here, I'm all up in her pictures right now

I need to squeeze 80 dollars out of this god forsaken website this weekend.

 

Pictures. Gimme pictures. Please and thank you. I just stalked the pet thread hoping to find some of your fuzzers and they're not there.

Also, that's amazing what you did for Ginger, bless your heart. Chewy is about 8-10ish pounds depending on when she ate last, and definitely thinks she's a pitbull like your little one. Whenever she barks at some monster dog, I tell her "that thing shits bigger than you" but she doesn't listen.
