Dog Owner Chat V. 5

[eleutheromania]

The boys had fun at the Flatrock park. Loki liked exploring around and sniffing everything. They also had a long car ride and slept the entire way.

That kennel picture is the definition of "Octavia.exe has stopped responding"
Or even, "Doge is borken, please restart."

I laughed way too hard at "borken" haha.

That same Bully tried to have a go at JJ again. I did the same thing I always do and stepped in front of her while telling him to go home. Dog did not care at all and managed to get to her for a brief second so I kicked him in the cheek, which I'm sure didn't hurt him because he's at least 70 lbs of padding, but it knocked him back a bit. He snarled at me but a lady walking down the street, maybe his owner idk since they weren't together, made him go home. People who let their dogs roam are the worst.

At least she had fun on her walk. She met a little girl who she adored and ran with Chloe.

Sorry that happened. Sucks. Where I live we don’t have a problem with roaming dogs.

And I think I have the same collar as you?! From Stillwater kennel supply? It’s my favorite collar... so pretty yet so durable and strong!

Update I never gave yesterday

Thors nails are clipped, I didn't hurt him, though he got one good scratch on me as he rolled in his sleep.

Lilly also got her nails clipped. Rolled her onto her back and gave an "Uh-uh" as she tried to chomp my hands and the clippers. She licked my hands and got plenty of love when I was done, as well as a good bit of fetch out of it. You know, not being sedated like Thor was makes the reward when she's done easier. :lol:

Neither of them click as they walk, unless they're sprinting across the tiles in the kitchen (They curl their toes when they run, seems odd to me honestly)

Next up, Bath time for 4/5 dogs when it's warm all week next week.

speaking of nail trims... I need to do Killian's Just gotta find the clippers and have my mom help. i have never done them. the vet or groomers did for me so I'm not sure how he will act. Main reason I don't wanna do them myself is because his nails are black

[Temper]

Thats why I prefer to use the dremel! It’s extremely hard to quick the dog with it (since it grinds), and from what I’ve found the dogs like it better than clippers too.
I just got my own in December, and I’ve been doing Geyser’s nails every two days. He has some white nails and some black. I’ve never quicked him. It’s very stress free

[Skysong]

I can't use the dremel on Thor. Even sedated, he's still slightly awake and he doesn't like the sound.

I use the clippers and he's put outside when he's awake from the sedative we have to give him and his nails grind down in like, a day or two?

I wasn't mad, he moved in his sleep and got my arm. I didn't bleed or anything, it just stung for a bit.

Lilly won't stay still for me to use the dremel on her nails. But her nails are easy to clip.

[rainbowwrowell]

What do you guys think is the best method for clippings dog's nails and why?

[TheMusicalVampire]

So, this is my doggo Hershey. (Yes, ironic.)
He is a Yorkshire Terrier Chinese Crested mix.
He is a very sweet doggo when you get to know him.
All he does though is sleep all day.
But I still love him!!

It's from xdreamdogs, but they have a lot of similar collars to stillwater. It's my favorite too x3
