Dogs
All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.
The sun as always rose
The same as any day
I welcomed you to morning
Never dreamt you’d go away
You rose from your bed
You couldn’t carry your weight
I knew in a moment
There could be no debate
The day long I held you
My pain a penance paid
I kept my dark vigil
As I gave my last embrace
To count your life in minutes
Is the evil end of love
From a decade of friendship given
To decide from up above
I know it was the best
But guilt has stolen my heart
You deserved so much more
But the time is now to part
You were the light of my life
And will ever live in me
My pain will always endure
But your love I’ll always see
