shock him every time he barks

conversely dogs bark and maybe he'll grow out of it or maybe not

I think the only acceptable cat pictures are pictures of what your cat has killed.

i've never been able to break my dogs urge to eat garbage no matter how much i try

or chase squirrels when on walks

some things are too ingrained i think

i'm guessing his barking generally occurs when he sees you sitting on that wrought iron stool and applying your makeup while looking in the oval mirror?

if so, i don't blame him.

edit: you could also let him jump in the bath with you...you know you wanna.

Someone mentioned a bad vet earlier, it reminded me of something. When I was a teenager I had a lizard (make fun if you want) and it was really sluggish and looking near death for about a week so I took it to a vet. I remember asking him if he thought maybe it was dehydrated and he said absolutely not. Then he went on a rant about how hydration is overrated, especially with people. He honestly said he gets all the water he needs by eating a pear in the morning. Never went back to that guy with any pets.

let the flood begin

buncha genetic mistakes itt

I had a golden retriever growing up, it ate an entire 15lb turkey once, bones and all, and didn't get sick at all. It was amazing. When my family got home we were like, "Where the hell is the turkey?" (my mom had stupidly left it on the counter to cool off I guess). We knew the dog got it but couldn't find any remains. We just laughed, couldn't really get too mad. The scene with Baxter and the wheel of cheese in Anchorman reminded me of it.

guessing you still wear monochromatic tracksuits to this day?

Don't forget my white velcro shoes and ever present heater hanging from my lip. My name Vladimir.

this is the part i guess i have to explain to some 2p2ers what girls are

perhaps you should explain that to your dog, because he might be confused?

Now I can't help but think dig sits in a floral silk bathrobe applying his makeup w the puppy in lap buffalo bill style

lol

Precious

Don't call me precious

Are you the great big fat person?

I think it is but it's the other way. It's probably just doing that because it has proven to be a successful method of getting attention earlier. Your play is to ignore it, like literally 2nd grade **** turn away and don't give eyecontact. Odds are it'll be upping the volume for a couple of weeks so your neighbors are **** outta luck if you live in an apartment.

I wouldn't punish it since it isn't as simple as jumping on a table with its front paws or anything and I assume this has been going on for a while. There will be a period where it doesn't know what's going on so it'll be confused and that's how you end up with a crazy dog if it doesn't know why you're being aggressive.

After it has chilled out with the barking then go and initiate playtime yourself.

PET UPDATE DRUDGE SIREN:

He's finally eating and wanted to play a little tonight. Still loopy, but I think he's coming around.

Oh, and I don't like Adele.

you can basically train a dog to do anything without using negative reinforcement

incessant barking can be a sign of stress or anxiety

Oh, Fredrica Bimmel, from Belvedere, Ohio?

Yeah I have fun with it but the wanting and bitterness for the America thing is amazing. Sorry dudes, Estadounidenses (literally "United Statesians") is super dumb and you cutting America out of our name altogether is way worse than us cutting it down from "United States of American down to just American.

Also, literally had a Google-off for "how many continents are there".

And yes I try hard to say the cumbersome "from the US" or "in the US" instead of America when in SA but damn they are so touchy about it.

I did have a pretty sweet line of "look it's not personal. It's just convenient. We really don't even think about you at all, especially when it comes to what we call ourselves, because You aren't terrorists or economically important to us."
