This is armature stuff. We have to do this so the little dog can get around in the snow. My neighbor has a snow gun and makes his own sled run when nature does not provide.

So cool, we had a Dalmatian in the early 90s they good family dogs but are quite hard to train.

@Wyliesau @Zennagain the only Dalmatian I've ever known was a dick. He used to roam the neighborhood looking for fights and no one seemed to give a shit. He didn't attack people but he went after my dog on multiple occasions. Sad because they are good looking dogs but that experience ruined them for me.

@thatguyoverthere @Wyliesau
They were bred to run next to carts! They are usually not content to just hang around. The Disney movie got them popular. I do not see very many these days at the vet hospital. Everybody has a Doodle something...

@Zennagain @thatguyoverthere

I know why.
We still find some short hairs in our family home.
Doodles and Lagottos never loose fur

@Wyliesau @Zennagain my doodle still sheds. I've read doodle fur is hypoallergenic though.

@thatguyoverthere @Zennagain

Bona, the Lagotto never looses one hair.
Which i love but we have to groom her 5 times a year

@Wyliesau @Zennagain Sofia is a mix so it could be that her Pyrenees shedding trumps the poodle. I think she was basically an accident. I bought her from a guy that bred poodles but also bred Pyrenees. Didn't realize she was a mix at the time. She's a great dog
@Zennagain @Wyliesau the doodle craze is real.

The neighborhood when I was a kid had a lot of dogs that would kind of roam free. Mine would hang out with me off leash most days. He got along with all the other dogs but that one at the end of the street. The Dalmatian didn't even have any kids to hang out with, and my dog was admittedly kind of a wimp. No idea what breeds he was made of. Basically a pure midsize mutt.
@Wyliesau @Zennagain he was a fantastic dog but he had no distinguishing characteristics of any breeds I know of lol. He had longer fur that shed kind of like my Akita or a husky but he was a dark brown color and maybe his back was around knee height. Pointy ears, straight tail. No idea but he was loved and lived for like 16 years. I cried so much when he died.

@thatguyoverthere @Zennagain

Yeah loosing a fur buddy is hurtful. Even more so with dogs than with cats because you really have a deep relationship with them

@Wyliesau @thatguyoverthere
The cat people are gonna come for you now! 😁

@Zennagain @thatguyoverthere

Ah idgaf, as long as it’s not the Swifties 😂

@Wyliesau @thatguyoverthere
Do I even want to know what that is?

@Zennagain @thatguyoverthere

Most of them are fat, ugly and lonely. I outrun them easily 🤣
Even Mersh the cat daddy of Florida could not catch me 😎😂

@Wyliesau @thatguyoverthere
Like a cat only better! No litterbox!

@Wyliesau @thatguyoverthere @Kennyben
Yes he is! Toto terrier or Cairn. Pet store reject. One perk I got from working at a vet hospital. 😁

He's cute.. I happen to know a ct doodle, he could be one of your clients.

@not_br549 @Kennyben @Wyliesau @thatguyoverthere
We have Newfie doodles but no Great Pyrenees ones that I can think of. Very nice dogos!

@Zennagain @not_br549 @Kennyben @Wyliesau my Pyrenees doodle is the sweetest dog in the world. She's also one of the loudest which is both good and bad. It's her job to watch for baddies but she thinks everyone who walks by needs a notification.

@thatguyoverthere @not_br549 @Kennyben @Wyliesau
Does she shed? Not one of those no shed doodles I bet! Thinking of using the leaf blower inside for my German Shedder.

@Zennagain @not_br549 @Kennyben @Wyliesau oh she's a shedder lol. Thankfully she's mostly outdoors except when it's especially cold at night. She has a nice thick coat but she's spindly no matter how much I feed her. I think she eats too much chicken feed.
@Zennagain @not_br549 @Kennyben @Wyliesau I wish I could stop her but I think if I tried to dog proof their food she'd spend the day trashing whatever contraption I came up with lol. The trick is just make sure she gets her food while I'm feeding the chickens so she's distracted. It leaves them enough time to eat at least haha.

Now with indoor shedding, we have an Akita. Nuff said 🤣

@thatguyoverthere @not_br549 @Kennyben @Wyliesau
You really should stop her. For her own well being! I worry about bloat or block with that stuff.

.. because of course you know all the million or so goldendoodles in ct personally.
He's a really sweet doggie, and as you can see, very spoiled.
-- Newfie doodles .. they must be big!

@thatguyoverthere @Wyliesau
When they die young we feel ripped off. When they live a long time we are more attached! It's never enough! I always tell people that dogs were not created to outlive us. Who would take care of them all? Also gives us a chance to love more of them in our life times. 🤷‍♂️💕 Working for veterinarians the last 18 years has not made it any easier.

@Zennagain @Wyliesau my daughter is working at a vet's office and on her first day she had to participate in euthanasia.

@thatguyoverthere @Zennagain

We had a girl, Bella, and she was a great dog except she never stopped pulling like crazy when on a leash and my father always gave her scraps from the table, and when we had guest she was always begging like crazy when we were eating.
But besides that a great dog.

@Wyliesau @thatguyoverthere
A good dog for someone into jogging or hiking!

@Zennagain @thatguyoverthere

My mom made a harness for Bella and she used to pull me and my brother along the cross country ski slope.
That was big fun
