Today is his birthday - I’ve donated to him and his family and encourage you to do the same, even though he deserves a much better gift.
Choose a campaign and donate if you can, otherwise please share this post so they can reach safety with their families.
had to show you guys. he looks so unbelievably bad. for context he always gets shit crusted in his fur because he doesn’t maintain it so my mom decided to give him a haircut and wanted to even it out
fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it
despite never being reprimanded for getting sick if my dog throws up she will ‘tattle’ on herself and run over to me, show me the throw up, then hide and start shaking uncontrollably. nobody taught her to do this. she has decided that throwing up is a punishable offense until the end of time
my dog has decided that it’s solely on her shoulders to ensure there is peace in my house…if the cats fight she stands between them to ‘break it up’ and/or herds them away, if my rats have an argument she goes to the cage door and barks until they stop. not sure why she has decided she must carry the weight of the world but she has
see when people try and nitpick me because i call my dog “my dog” when it’s technically “the family dog”…….well first of all i still call my brother “my brother” and not “the family boy”. although maybe that should change. second of all sorry i’m still thinking about the family boy. btw i fell asleep while making this post last night and i think you can tell
