That is a horse.
Nay
Verbatim what I said out loud
I said what you said verbatim out loud after I also spoke aloud the top comment, wild
Shame about the ears :(
Ear cropping is so pointless.
It's evil, I love my rescued girl to death. But man I'd like to meet the assholes who cropped her ears in a dark alley.
The good thing is, she almost certainly doesn't remember or care about it now. But why put her through that then?
They probably fucked up his tail, too D:
Wait, people really do that?
Yes, it's pretty commonly done to some breeds of dogs with naturally floppy ears. They should look like the big guy's ears in this picture:
You learn something everyday. My knee-jerk reaction : such a shame to mutilate pets so they look like what we want..
Your knee-jerk reaction is correct!
They do, it's unfortunate. We had an English springer spaniel growing up, and went to get him as a puppy. They had already docked his tail and didn't want to give him to us before doing his ears, and we were just like "oh no no, let us pay for that", they agreed, and then we never spoke to them again and his ears remained lovely and floppy.
He did have to wag his entire butt though because of the tail, unfortunately.
My vet told me to consider it because my floppy eared hound dog gets chronic ear infections.
Can I get a medical exemption on the ear cropping anger please?
A Great Dane was the only dog that ever gave me a fight or flight response. When I was about 13 years old I visited my aunt & uncle and they were dogsitting a massive Great Dane. When I opened their door he was staring at me at eye level and I thought I was about to die, full adrenaline dump, the whole works. Then he started slobbering all over me and we became friends.
Nice horse. I'm sorry it's a what?
That Dane sure is Great
If he gets excited his tail would knock things off counters and tables.
I don't like to say crass stuff like this, but in this case it's worth sharing: I've been tail-thwacked in the testicles by my happy dog, who's about this size.
That tail's lethal. We've lost drinking glasses, food and all sorts of knick knacks to an excited tail swipe. You learn to put things high up.
put things high up
Weird flex to say you tuck
Oof I'd hate to have to pick up those poops
Remember to lift with your legs.
Two bags per.
I hope that doggo is well trained, otherwise that jar of peanut butter is doomed.
When got dogs years ago I never wanted anything I couldn't pick up on my own in an emergency. That dog looks like a team lift situation.
Why pick him up? You could probably hop on and ride away in case of an emergency.
Bet the house shakes when that one barks.
Big dog or small house?
Big dog or small horse?
Some office I had installed internet for had an Irish wolf hound in a room with a California King sized bed in it and the dog took up at least half the bed. Biggest fucking dog I've ever seen.
Why is there a horse in the hospital?
"Welcome to my kitchen. Why are you here?"
Man, how do you keep him from just casually eating everything on the counter? I'm looking at that hat Skippy jar in the background lol.
The goodest steed.
hmmm
For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
