Do you ever look at water changes from you dog's perspective?

Yesterday, I was doing water changes and both of my dogs were watching me very closely.

I realized what they were thinking:

"Why is the human taking water out just to put it back in? Humans aren't too bright".

That's cute..... and you're probably right ! I'd love to know what my dog is thinking.

daisy doesnt even know i have fish, if she were to find out, she would be mad at me for replacing her

My dogs can't figure out how to drink out of many water bowls we have in the house. They probably want to know why the bowls are so high up?

my cocker spaniel learned on her own, how to beg for fresh water from the bathtub. She jumps up on the ledge, and smacks the faucet with her paw. She knows I hear her doing this, and sure enough mommy comes running into the bathroom to turn the faucet on.

yeah, I know, how spoiled !

Tony G.

wow.. you need to have a talk with Cesar Millan

i love cocker spanials ive a 10 month female they are a very placid dog ...

bolivianbaby

Yep, dogs will train people. In fact, it's a lot easier for them to train us than it is for us to train them

in most cases its the dog bringing the owner for a WALK ...

Daisy is a DOLL !!!!


pssst...

10gallonmadness

Haha. Do you mean shave ALL her hair off, or just shave it down so she doesnt shed as much?

I have a 6 year old chiuhauha named Princess. Right from the name what can you tell? Yep, shes spoiled rotten. I'll post a picture.

Tony G.

not all her hair, just to make it shorter lol

joy1125

I take Abigail for a baldy once a month in the summer. They shave her down to where it's only like a 1/2 inch, but leave the ears kindof fluffy.

She hates getting her "haircut", all I have to say is .... "haircut" and she KNOWS !!!! But when's she's all done, she loves how it feels. Plus she looks like a little hotdog, with her round tummy, and little tiny arms and legs. I can't keep my hands off of her when she's first done....soooooo cute !!!!

Tony you'll have to post a pic of daisy after her cut.

Tony G.

i will
i need to make the appointment first

10gallonmadness

Here she is.

Tony G.

aww she's like all old! hahaha is she loud? like does she bark alot? goodness daisy loves to bark at everything, its kinda annoying now lol. I remember i was so proud of her when she barked for the first time, now, we cnat get her to shut up!

10gallonmadness

She's not really a heavy barker. She will bark at the mail man and anyone walking there dogs on the sidewalk next to our lawn but that's about it. She also doesn't like smaller dogs. But she's fine with larger dogs like shepards and bulldogs. It blows my mind . Shes fine with my cat though.

Here's Iggy our new puppy

I had a jack russel terrier, they are the cutest things. His name was jack. He was a little puppy that loved to chase cars and chew threw his collars and leashes. He died near his first birthday. He chewed though his leash and chased my dads car onto the highway. He ran into the oncoming traffic and got hit.... I cried for days. I will upload some pics later

Is it actually the hair itself or is it the dander? My sister had two cats and her son was allergic - they were going to have to either get rid of the cats or shave them. Instead, she started bathing the cats once a week. No more problems with allergies. It might be worth a shot...especially since dogs with "haircuts" can develop skin problems or get sunburned. It also messes with their normal body temperature control since the fur both keeps them warm in winter and helps to keep them cool in the summer. Personally, I just think it makes them look funny - at least the ones that I have seen looked funny.

Tony G.

well i dont really know if im allergic to her hair or the dander. Im thinking its her hair though because of the sudden weather changes we get here. Last week it was raining and this weeks its so dry, so it makes her shed alot. I will try bathing her.

gremlin

With most people, it is the dander. It would be cheaper to be able to wash it away rather than having to take her to be groomed/trimmed. You could even try using a "sensitive skin" or oatmeal shampoo, that might help too.
