Heart Like a Dog

The Good, the Bad, and the Oh My God of living with dogs!

W. T. F./Whoo Hoo Wednesday

By

Please note this post is not meant to make light of the deeds described here, only to make fun of, ridicule, bully and just plain beat the shit out of the idiots who commit these stupid acts.

I’m chock full of WTF this week.

It’s Time To Ban Pit Bulls In B.C.- B.C.

Another region calling for  BSL.  Naturally they choose a picture of a pit bull that looks about ready to attack for the editorial.   The dog could be reacting to a freakin bear, but that wouldn’t make a difference to these ignorant fear mongers.

When are people going to stop focusing on the dogs and start focusing on the people who abuse and exploit them?

Maybe when they come for their cocker spaniel, because all other breeds have already been banned?

Rogers County Dog Dragged To Death – Winganon, OK

How do you even write about something this horrific?

The sheriff’s office has completed their investigation and apparently has been approached by someone and they now have a person of interest.  The case has been turned over to the District Attorney’s Office.

I hope they find this person and fast, before anymore dogs get hurt.  I’m thinking a bully beat down is just too damn humane for the asshole that did this.  I vote for tying them up by their feet and dragging them behind a truck, oh and then shooting them for good measure.

PETA

PETA’s reached a new low lately.  This photo was posted on facebook and apparently is in response to a No-Kill Shelter’s statement that they would have to start euthanasia due to severe over-crowding.

You can read the entire article here.

I’ve never been a big fan of PETA myself, in fact just recently I received a donation form from them.  It was a questionnaire and I had it almost completely filled out until I realized it was from PETA.  I actually wrote a line stating I would love to donate money for that particular cause, but certainly not to them.  I then asked them to remove my name from their mailing list (I’m still not sure where they got it) and actually put a stamp on it and sent it.

I’m going on record to suggest they change their acronym to People for the Euthanasia/Termination of Animals.

Hey PETA, YOU SUCK.

Seriously, how can people make a difference when assholes like this are continually undermining efforts?

Whoo Hoo

Dog missing after fatal Montana crash found, Missoula, MT

Quite truthfully I never heard this story until 2 Brown Dawgs posted on facebook that she had been found.  Apparently she had escaped the vehicle after it was hit by a drunk driver, and had been on the run for 26 days, before finally being captured by a local woman.

Bella, while a bit on the thin side appears to be in good health otherwise, she will be reunited with her family soon.

And finally, since I’m a little light on the Whoo Hoo section, I thought I’d leave you with this.

 

 

 

Confirming Pavlov’s Theory

By

Did you have a nice, long weekend?  It was a pretty chillax weekend at Stone Manor.

We had a cookout on Sunday, I always love having my family around me, especially the little ones.

Even though we teach our grandchildren, nieces and nephews to respect the dogs, they are dogs after-all and should always be watched.

I don’t want to say the kids are afraid of the dogs, although upon the initial entrance, they tend to shy away.  I think that’s mostly because the dogs are big and rambunctious and eager to greet everyone.

After a few minutes the kids are running around creating chaos and the dogs are looking for a safe place to hunker down.

Normally the kids can do whatever they want when they are at my house, but when it comes to the dogs I am very strict.

I don’t allow them to feed the dogs (unless we are with them) or to go near the dogs dishes when they are eating.

There is no hitting, only nice petting and absolutely no jumping over the dogs.

We do however encourage gentle interaction with the dogs. So imagine my delight when Hubby was preparing the dog’s dinner the other night and I captured this photo of my little niece.

I wasn’t quick enough with my camera to capture her with her arms around both dogs, but this one with Sampson is so adorable.

If you notice, she has her head turned slightly towards Delilah.  I’m not sure if you can see it in the picture, but Delilah was beginning to drool, which had my little niece totally engrossed.

Almost immediately after this picture was taken, she knelt down on the floor underneath Delilah and stared and pointed at the drool.

Auntie what’s that?

That my dear is Delilah confirming Pavlov’s theory.

Drama King

By

Last week I shared a story about Sampson and a lick granuloma.

At the suggestion of our friend at the 2 Brown Dawgs Blog, I picked up some EMT gel.  If you’ve never heard of EMT gel, it is an all natural gel made of collagen.  The gel itself reminds me of a thick super glue, it is used to seal wounds, and is designed to aid in the healing process.  The package says it can be reapplied daily.

I’m not sure if the way the gel dries bothers Sampson or not, but Hubby was awakened yesterday morning by Sampson’s licking.

We needed a new plan of action.

We decided to wrap the paw at night, to deter Sampson from licking.  If this option doesn’t work, I will be switching to a collar. 🙁

I didn’t have any gauze, so I took a paper towel and cut it into fourths, then I folded the paper towel into a square, placed it over his paw and wrapped it with vet tape.

What are you looking at Bob?

Look at that pathetic face.  As soon as I finished wrapping his paw, he held it out as if to say, what is this?

When I coaxed him up the bed, he refused to use his paw.

When he walked, he walked with a limp.

Yes, my dog is a drama king.
