You're right, I am often congratulatory and complimentary.
Classic Derek!

Congrats! Neither does my mutt!
Sounds like you're a good dog owner.
The beatings will continue until morale improvesIt's like I tell my girlfriend whenever her dog acts like a prick:
You just gotta beat him more.
I have had two mutts. The first one that died at 10 was absurd.
She had a level of anxiety that I can’t begin to explain. We went to a dog park a couple times and she ran to the exit and would try to leap to the top of the fence to escape. At our home, if we accidentally closed the door while she was in the yard she would leap the fence and run around in the street and neighbors yards...which she was terrified of being in. Made no logical sense. When we walked her she’d consistently try to gator roll and a couple times she got away before we just stopped. Once, we had to chase her about a mile home near a busy road. She did that meme where she chewed through fences. She dug under fences. Jumped over fences. Until we got our second dog who sorta leveled her, she’d bark at guests and back up and scratch the floor...nonstop.
She was a fucking nightmare. She used to sort of cuddle with us at night until we moved slightly and then she’d dart underneath the bed.
I can’t think of a worse dog. I did love her but Jesus Christ she sucked objectively.
Did you get her as a small puppy, or was she older? If the latter, she was likely abused, and those dogs are not for everyone.
One great thing about getting a pet from a shelter is that you can see how a multitude of dogs or cats react to you/you kids before choosing one. So if one seems particular skittish or anxious, you can move on. Some may be more sedate or shy, and they can be good for people living alone. Or, there are some people who really want that chance to help a troubled pet, so they can choose that too.
And it's a pretty special feeling to remove that pet from the cage that is its life, and taking it to a real home.
My friend had a German Shepherd that would freak out when everybody left. It even crushed their bedroom doorknob one time.Do you have any issues with separation anxiety? I have a boxer, and he has to be up my ass at all times. I was hoping to transition him out of the crate, but he's 5 now, and still loses his shit every time we leave the house.
That is what you got? I love it!View attachment 3879
