A community about dogs.

Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

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.
  7. No breed discrimination, all breeds welcome. Our stance matches the ASPCA's official stance and is not up for debate.
  8. Citing your sources when making a claim is encouraged. Misinformation will be removed.

They look like they're worried about my eating habits

They look like they want me to stop eating potato chips at night

Lies! They want my midnight cheese.

Are they your companions?

Are the foxes in the other post also in your life??

How many fluffs do share your everyday with???

Did you leave enough for the rest of us????

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

All excellent questions!

These two are mine. My son also has two cats at his dad’s that I occasionally post.

Everything else is pics from wildlife rescues and such.

So, I have 2 fluffs physically and the whole world’s animals in spirit. And I love sharing!

What's the story, Wishbone?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

She is half Jack Russell! The other half is Italian Greyhound. She has the body of an iggy and the coloring of a Jack Russell.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You forgot to mention she's very cute.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I did forget that. And I believe the price for that is belly scritches.

Here is more Hazel!
