Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
  2. This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.

My dog still investigates a spot on our walk where she found a remnant bit of ham sandwich almost 10 years ago. She's eternally optimistic that there will be more ham.

We could all take a leaf out of her book

Honestly you should put a ham sandwich in that bush for her. It would really make her day.

My dog does the same in a spot that had a discarded KFC bucket a few years back. One day I might stash something there for him.

My boy saw a rat run from under a car once. Every car in now suspect.
