I had a sheltie named Sivonne that passed away a few years ago of old age. She was the sweetest, most docile girl, let toddlers pet her and didn't mind when cats came over. She was, however, deathly afraid of going outside, and we rescued her from a breeder who de-barked her after she refused to be either a show dog or a breeding dog. I'm not sure how much of her calmness was her personality or just resignation to life, but I hope she felt safe and comfortable for the time she was with us.

De-barking!? Do I want to look that up, or nah

Imagine what needs to be done to surgically make a dog unable to bark. Somehow, it's still legal in some places. There wasn't anything we could do to reverse it either, unfortunately.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
