And cats. I had a cat that was the biggest snuggle buddy and you go to anybody except 1 time I had to replace my fridge and he and the old dog that also loved people wouldn't go anywhere near one of the guys. The cat actually growled at him and the dog went in the bedroom to her crate. That is the only time that cat ever growled at anybody in the 17 years I had him.

Our pets tune into us and our vibes, so they know when we’re sick or sad. That’s when they spring into action to help us feel better. They snuggle, they bring us things they think will make us feel better, they keep us company so we’re not alone. We just don’t deserve them.

Bored Panda got in touch with Juliana DeWillems, Certified Dog Behavior Consultant & Dog Trainer, and she was kind enough to answer some of our questions about our furry friends. Firstly, we wanted to hear what common misconceptions she’s encountered about dog behavior.
“Oh man, where do I start! Dogs are unfortunately very likely to be misunderstood due to humans not understanding canine body language. Dogs are constantly communicating with their bodies and behavior, but because humans are verbal communicators we often miss what they are saying.”

Please don't judge. Rescue is great. But sometimes it isn't the right option. Or even a available one. In the UK, many rescues won't Rehome dogs if there are other animals in the home. Or kids. As they can't guarantee the history and then fear litigation. It's a sad world we are living in. I personally needed to guarantee a level of breeding, nature and intelligence and be able to train from weeks old as my girl will be my support dog for mental and physical illness.

i love stuff like this. it happened to me as well. i was walking my dog thru a park near my grandmas house and out of no where my dog and another dog started going nuts. he was very well behaved and loved making friends so i let him off his leash. they both started playing with each other immediately. wen the owner of the other dog said "ive never seen a bichon act like that" i told her that hes a cockapoo not a bichon. she told me so was her dog and that its funny how similar they looked. hers was a tan color while mine was white. we started talking and learned they came from the same breeder. wen we both said the age we realized they had to b siblings. we gave each other our contact info and i sent her a pic of my dogs paperwork. she sent me the same exact paperwork for her dog. it had the name of our dogs parents and we were correct they were indeed siblings. after that we would set up playdates for them. after about 10 years of playdates my dogs brother got cancer so they couldnt play anymore. we ended up moving a year later. 5 years after we moved my dog got nasal cancer and passed at the age of 17 after fighting his own cancer for a year and a half. we r still in contact and sharing memories of the 2 of them as well as the dog we currently have now. its amazing how dogs can remember their siblings on sight. the whole experience was probably one of the most amazing and adorable things ive ever seen. the pure joy the 2 of them had wenever they saw each other is a memory ill never forget.
“When we do pay attention to a dog’s body language, we often misinterpret it and apply human constructs or human secondary emotions to the behavior. We are quick to label dogs as spiteful, stubborn, mean, or dominant, when in reality their body language tells an entirely different story about what they are experiencing and why they are behaving a certain way.”

This dog did a wonderful thing....and he knows it. Please, lots of pats and hugs for him.
“The human world is very tricky to navigate for a dog, and they are just trying their best! One of my favorite sentiments about dog behavior is: your dog is not trying to give you a hard time, they are having a hard time. The more we approach dog behavior with curiosity and empathy, the easier and less frustrating our life with dogs will be.”

5 seems to be the ideal number of the type of pets you take out. One is lonely, so two it is. But if you take one out, the other is lonely, so three it is. But if you take out two, because a friend wants to join, one stays back lonely, so four it is. And where's room for four, a fifth, just to be sure, will fit. Applies for horses, too.
Ladedah 1 year ago
My rule is two (though we've had three at times before). Why? Because I have two hands. Two hands to pet two heads at the same time when I come home and they're both excited to see me... two hands to give two treats at the same time... two hands to put two food bowls down at the same time... etc. What I DON'T have is three or more hands... which means that - if I have any more than two dogs - someone will always end up "last." There is no last place when it comes to dogs; they're all number one and I don't want my dogs feeling any other way.

My Sister had been in an abusive relationship and lived with this cheating douchebag. One night when he wasn't supposed to be home we took her Rottweiler Rocky with us to grab some of her stuff. The Douchebag showed up and by the time we made it outside to try and get into her Blazer, he had chased us and went to grab my Sister to stop her from leaving. Rocky. Lost. His. S**t! Rocky pinned him against the garage door and standing on 2 legs he was the same height as her Ex. Soon as she had the truck started and I was in the passenger seat, I yelled for Rocky so he jumped into the passenger seat with me and we hauled a*s out of there. I honestly don't want to think about what would have happened to us without Rocky there to protect us. I was 15 at the time, this was in the '92, so getting a Restraining Order back then took time. Sis and Rocky lived with us, so he had a large yard to play in, giant fluffy bed and couch to sleep on inside, plenty of treats and biggest steak we could buy.

Definitely do it; maybe after they've just passed? I have ink paw prints of my cat who died recently. I hate to say it, but waiting until afterwards means you'll get a clearer, more defined print; plus you won't be subjecting your cat to anything unnecessary they'll hate.

I rented a room in a home with a Bulldog that would pull so hard when walking on a leash that he broke the owner's wrist. He was a sweet boy and I trained him not to pull on the leash with generous applications of bacon (in my closed fist to smell until he behaved, then he got bacon). Biggest problem was the owner refusing to get dog neutered, and that aggressiveness was untameable at times. I don't understand some dog owners!

We had a big dog named Nick who was 1/2 bit bull and the other half... well, let's just say that a lot went into his breeding. He was 80 lbs of love. He'd been in a no-kill shelter since he was born (he was 2 years old) and he had never been inside a home before. He was a joy.

I used to work in a theatre that was frequently swept by a bomb dog because the queen liked to visit. The dog would run first to the basement where the cupboard with fireworks were( for the cannons) and then to the canteen where the food were. The handler never scolded the dog, just gave it a treat and went about their work. My guess was that, the dog being a labrador, the handler couldn't be bothered to go against its nature.

The dog sitter called our cocker "an archeologist for food". He found hidden empty bread bags that may have still smelled of bread.

If that was a cat, the cat would have just knock everything on the floor.

My cat meows at me and shifts her feet until I figure it out.

Mine would have kicked the remote onto the floor -- just a little passive-aggressive action.

Why are you pretending it is? Don’t you USUALLY have a dog like that at the bar? Or maybe you just love his little face, in which case, you are completely right.

He’s waiting on the other dogs for the poker game.

I live in Arizona. Where I live it gets up to 125 in the summer. And still people leave their dogs outside during the day, some all day while they're at work. It's disgusting, and abusive, and I don't know why the city doesn't do anything about it...

My Mom and I have always taken care of feral cats, so we have beds and houses for them. I live in Oklahoma so it can be 110 and the heat index 120 when the humidity is high. So, even though it kills my water bill in the Summer I have 2 different garden hoses hooked up with sprinklers, one with a timer and the other without. The timer is set up to wet the ground in the shaded spots the cats love to lay in to keep them cool. I have a thick metal back patio cover, in order to cool it we keep the sprinkler going on top of it and between a tree we have by it to provide shade. Doing that throughout the day keeps it around 80-85 degrees underneath and we wet down the concrete patio as well as their houses that are underneath the patio and NOT out in the yard and sun. My water bill in the summer is atrocious but my Mom started this so I'm going to keep it going.

My father had adopted a puppy who would do this, whenever you brought out a camera. They had him since he was 8-weeks old; no one had trained him to do this. It got to the point where you just had to hold your empty hands as if you were holding a camera and he would sit and pose.

My neighbor has 5 cats that are my charges while she is out of town. One random day, Pinkey, was walking through my yard. I said "Pinkey, I would like to take a picture of you." She sat down and looked at me and I snaped a picture. I show her my picture of her and she was happy and continued through my yard. I know that cats understand much more than they let on.

Someone who lives in my area has Leonberger as a service dog. It's just so difficult not to bury my hands in all that gorgeous floof!

A patient comes in with a service dog and she is absolutely beautiful and she also knows that there will be a point where her owner allows her to get pets. She lays in the corner until the appointment is done and we all stick our heads in the room. You can hear her tail banging into the wall because she knows it's time for her to get loved on.

I saw some service dogs in training. The two labs were good as gold, but the GSD was so excited to see the others he was pulling his trainer all over the place. I wanted to take that failure home. ☺️

These stories are cute, but they bring into the question the legitimacy of using dogs as probable cause for police searches. I know unreasonable search and seizures can happen anywhere but, living the the American south, I am acutely aware of unethical law enforcement officers. Some officers even know how to signal their dog to "alert."

You're far from the only one with concerns about that; unfortunately, I think a lot of people's time and energy are going into preventing disaster right now. It's hard to focus on improvement when you're constantly in crisis response mode.

Ok I'm level 5 suspicious about this story. I'm not from the USA so maybe someone can confirm. I saw a TV show where they explained that in the Netherlands there are not that many drüg dogs. And all the dogs we do have work in the Rotterdam harbor or sometimes at the big airport. Not at raves or police controls. They are looking for the big stuff. The dogs you see are just to make you nervous. They want to see your response to a search dog. Edit: they explained that these dogs are very expensive as their training cost a lot of money.

Will people stop breeding animals to get a cute look. All sorts of problems can and usually do result for the poor creatures.
Rebecca O’Donnell 1 year ago
EM, I’m hoping this was just an accident. I always wanted breeders to stop breeding for a couple of years and let the wonderful shelter dogs have a chance at a good home.

Apes have been documented on video kidnapping puppies (from the litters of strays) and raising them as guards for their troop. Assuming they didn't learn it from us, such behavior is probably hardwired into primate genes.

Science literacy matters! The thicker fur has trapped the heat next to the body, where the shorter hair allowe a surface temperature. You can't tell with an infrared camera what temp the dog's skin is under the thick fur. That's why you test how effective insulation is by using an infrared camera. The coldest part means less heat loss and better insulation. It's warmer against the skin.
FreeTheUnicorn 1 year ago
Misleading photo - that's the surface temp not the temp of your dog. Mmthebfur is insulation. If you take a thermal photo wearing a coat, it looks like your face is warmer than your chest, but that's not true, more heat is escaping from your face than your chest.

BP - this is a dangerously misleading post. Please remove it. People are going to think the fur surface temperature is the skin temperature. It's the same issue raised above in the plastic crate is not shade but an oven. Please sense check posts about health before posting.

Yes, this is true. However, Dozer likes to roll around in sticker bushes and runs away if he sees anyone with a brush. He weighs 170 pounds and is harder to stop than a freight train. My husband hates having to pin down his best friend and shave his butt but it has to be done.

This is a good time to check for red flags as well. Is he upset at the dog for his shennanigans? Is he being hateful toward him? If so pack yo ṣ̌hit and run tf out.
