Short spine syndrome is a very rare congenital defect. Part of awareness Tilly raises is to never breed dogs with short spine syndrome.
Here is more Tilly:
The prophesy has been fulfilled!
This image is one of my favorite things of all time. Never fails to make me laugh
Tilly sploot:
I'm laugh crying from the proportions. Like big head mode on a terrier. Thank you for the joy.
I really hope this Jimothy trend doesn't inspire somebody to try to breed the deformity intentionally, like what happened with Twisty Cats.
So I looked up twisty cats. Clicked on the picture of the cat on the preview of the wikipedia article for Squitten, the official term. This took me to the ddg images tab for squitten. Which apparently is the german word for squirt. So I was just immediately eyeblasted with the other kind of pussy.
The german word you are looking for is not a translation of squirt but a germanification of the english word.
TMI
Squirten (lit. to squirt, and with an R) is how you use the english word without translating it gramatically correct in a german sentence.
The correct translation would be "spritzen", but in terms of sexual verbs this is usually reserved for the male ejaculation, so "squirten" is adopted for the female ejaculation.
Idk who is claiming that is the official term, because the breeder in question called them twisty cats.
wikipedia
Wikipedia isn't a person, Wikipedia articles are written by volunteers.
the vvolluneteres are peorple
That's what I said.
That's who claimed it
You think I named them Squittens? You're an idiot.
Are you having a bad day
Are you?
No, I don't.

Is it a crime? I feel like breeding dogs and cats should require a license or permit that you can lose for irresponsible breeding. If nothing else, it's annoying that it technically isn't called a copycat crime.
I believe that it should absolutely require a license that can be revoked for unethical or irresponsible practices. But we can’t have cause capitalism.
So, it would have been regulated under fascism? Communism? Manorialism?
It's more that democracy is weak, and the rich and powerful are no longer scared of guillotines.
Right? We made pugs and bulldogs already.
Also dwarf cats, which includes the type people have taken to calling "munchkin cats." There's nothing wrong with being a dwarf person, but there are strong concerns about the quality of life for dwarf cats just because of their short legs.
Can’t have nothing good on planet Earth
I hope so too. So far the owners of these “famous” dogs do a great job of advocating for them and spreading awareness about not breeding them.
Where does all the dog fit in that dog? Are all the organs smaller, do they somehow all fit with their original sizes, did she need surgery?
Do these animals have shorter life expectancies, or can they live a fairly long and normal life? Does it impair mobility?
It's the first time I've ever seen this condition, with all the jimothy posts and now these 2 dogs. Genetics are fascinating and terrifying at the same time.
They have normal sized organs but all squished together. They generally do not need or get surgery - they are either euthanized because the organ compression and pain are severe or they can live relatively normal lives.
They do not automatically have shorter life expectancy. Quasi the Great (dog with SSS) is 14 years old this year.
It does impair mobility, and the degree to which it does will affect their quality of life.
The bottom line is, we actually don’t know everything there is to know about SSS because it’s so rare.
- Not sure on that
- Shorter, usually die very young
It sort of looks like an intellect devourer: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Intellect_devourer
Heh, totally!
Tilly: has a tricky spine condition
Also Tilly: banned from sex for ethical reasons
Poor Tilly, have they not suffered enough!?
May I bless your eyes further with her puppy pic?
Savage
🥺 yes please!!
But I've seen about a million picture of dogs with this in the last week alone. AI really saw this shit and said, "Oh, I got this."😂
We'll find out in the dystopia that future AI actually created the condition and sent it back in time to infect our pets making itself look like it could draw better.
Yeah, you have to look for accounts that were around for years. It’s crazy that people are AI generating dogs with short spine.
Oh I'm not going to filter search results I didn't request anyway
Ngl it looks like a houndeye from hl
So smol, yet much paw very large and yet smol ohmigod i ded of kawaiiitis
Wait till you see her as a puppy:
intant deeeeth
This is just a bad panorama image. That's all these are.
Tilly has never heard such bullshit:
She has an insta page, a tiktok page and a dozen articles written about her. Unless you can point out where the videos are edited/AI, i call BS
