Dog Owner Chat v4

I'm just wondering, is it normal for dogs to have something slightly bulbous jutting out of their stomach region where the incision was made after they've been fixed? My sister gave me her pup (she had to move) and it's been a few weeks since she's been fixed. If it were dissolving stitches they would have been gone by now, right? Anyone else experience this with their pup?

id call whatever clinic did the spay and ask. I doubt theyd mind answering a simple question. we arent allowed to give medical advice.

Aika has been weird. shes been growling/barking at family members. she isnt aggressive or scared.... she even tries to play with them after a minute. id think she was just being teritorial but we are in an area weve never been. shes such a weirdo lol. i plan on socializing her once the last bit of her kennel cough dissapears. she only coughs once a day now so hopefully that isnt too far down the road.

Soo I finally got the guts to say something to my BYB aunt. It wasn't the most honest of how I really feel, but I know she is quick to anger so I didn't want to shut her down with harsh criticism. I commented:
"Awesome! Puppies are so cute and not many people are responsibly breeding mixes, so good on you. I'm curious about what health tests you decided to do given the mix? I'd assume hips for sure since all 3 breeds are prone to that, but I'm really curious as to what else you decided was important? I'm just so interested in all the genetics and stuff that goes in to breeding dogs. 😃"
I really don't think it's awesome but I think that this way she won't immediatly delete my comment and instead maybe be more open to changing her mind.

"I carefully researched and selected my girl"
No. You got her off craigslist.
"Purebread" "bread"
Oh I see, you're starting a back yard bakery, not becoming a backyard breeder.
"They are super rare Unotogans" "I just googled it but thats what they are I'm not affiliated with the breed"
Soooooo, pick one? First of all your super rare "breed" was developed only for looks, making it pretty sketchy. But hey, benefit of the doubt lets call it a breed. You can't produce a doberman by mixing rottweilers with great danes, so how are your puppies magically Unotogans?
Husky/shepherd mixes are not rare.

“wat?”

Aika took the "I got your nose" joke a little too far...
In the words of mr bill... "Oh noooooooo" XD
RIP best dog toy ever

Edit: I kind of want to make a toy graveyard picture album... she's killed a plush bunny, lion, mallard, Mr. Bill, and two balls. XD

O_o looks like they are partners in crime lol Nerd.

I don't think Gizzy likes having her water bowl knocked over though.

@RWBYRose
Aww noo~ Poor toys. Were they all plush by any chance?? (And were the balls really soft?) You may want to get more durable toys for chews. Stuff she can chew on when your not there, without fear of her ripping it apart and swallowing stuffing ect. Like a kong, and other stuff made out of that same hard material.

Plush toys or squeaky toys should be reserved to play with you/under supervision only. You should also teach her bite control, and how to treat different types of toys. (Like treating the plush toys nicer, so she doesn't rip them apart. Teaching this skill also makes it so she nips/bites a little lighter, and respects the stuff she puts in her mouth more)

Check out this video/channel. It might help with the toy destruction. The channel also has other helpful videos/tips.

[Faybell]

They were, I'll check out the videos thank you. I didn't know teaching bite control was a thing with toys lol. This will hopefully help with keeping her from tearing up her plushies.

Oppie knows drop it or leave it if I don’t want him messing with certain things/toys. Maybe try teaching Aika those tricks if she doesn’t know them already?

I just about died laughing when I read the word Unotogan that's not even mixed breed dog much less a designer dog breed Lol and purebread lol. If google can't find it, than it means they are not a real mutt designer dog breed thing that is bad to breed
