rotten_two

both of mine do it -- we call it "porno dog" cause they are all splayed out and advertising :) i guess you could argue that a dog whose hips hurt would not lay this way. i don't think it is a reliable indicator tho. my 2 also do "frog dog" which is this postion only belly down.

there is a lot of pea talk in this thread haha! i happen to love peas. i have had peas and soup, i have even had peas in soup, but i haven't braved pea soup.

spewing split pea soup?

she is just toooo cute! she's herding -- keeping you and all her toys well within her control :D

courtnek: for someone who takes every opportunity to proclaim your alpha status in your pack, i find your quote "control freaks" to be ironic. now i am not saying that you are heavy handed with your dogs like this jerk because i am sure you're not. when i read posts from people who frequent here i get a mental image of my perception of that person. when i see a post by you i think - nilif and "alpha" or "respect my authoritaaaay." so you can imagine my surprise when i read your comment! :D

does that make them concealed weapons? don't make me use these hahahah!

HAHA you said fisticuffs that is one of my favorite hockey words! do you watch hockey? the other one i really like is fracas! oh and i can't forget 5hole i crack up when they say that!

i am done decoding -- too much like work :grab:

it SOUNDS like something i would find in a garden, hun!

camel jerky? :o donkey jerky? :o :o

braless wonder = HF tongue duster = JM what next?

well it's good you didn't knock yourself out with your boobage on your angry march over! i am glad it all turned out for the better -- except that maybe your neighbors saw you in all your "liberated" glory :o

what is a peapole?

oh i am with ya k! i have long been an advocate for opening hunting season on stupid people.

ESS you're grounded now go to your room young lady! JM: tho i am not now geographically as southern as i would have hoped -- i am a southern girl :D and southern girls do not use those types of words :D cuckoos and tweeters i say again!

well if you want to be all vulgar about it, miss vanna white! girls have cuckoos! boys have tweeters!

hey jess dontcha mean -.. .- -- -. funny! :D

ahem! JM kes is a [i]she [/i] :D you know, she has cuckoo not a tweeter! poor baby kes! well i guess the bright side is that the glass didn't break and no one was hurt. there is no way i could be mad at miss kes -- she is waaaay too cute.

oooh i so miss puppy hiccups! when my pups had hiccups i could swear they grew right before my eyes. it's a weird correlation i know but if they had hiccups i knew they were growing. we have no hiccups now just burps -- usually right when you want to snuggle up!

in the general boobal area yes tho the specific coordinates are age related me thinks!

aaaaannnnnnnd in your sig each dog's nose is mostly centered giving the appearance of nipplage. :o

wonderful way to start a monday huh? can't wait to see what the rest of the week brings forth :o

HF are you hittin' the crack pipe again? of course it is too much to ask that people use common sense, act responsibly, and show a little common courtesy! geez! i thought we had been thru this -- some people never learn :wink: thank doG you have way more patience than i do :D similarly related -- we get people all the time that want to get into a puppy k class. they call and say 'the website says the class is full, can we get in?' you feel bad cause if they really are that stupid then they probably need the class most. or we get people who want behavior consults right now because the dog is "driving them crazy' or it's a 'serious problem' but mysteriously when they find out there is a 10 page questionaire the problem all but disappears.

lemme set the scene . . . 5am barely light outside. i have been awake a grand total of 30 minutes. in that time i have tinkled, fed & med the dogs, and am now trying to potty the dogs. aspen having peed is now content to be ripping the grass out of the ground by the roots as if he were a cow. gaia (on leash) has found that spot, you know that one sacred square foot, in an entire acre, she has deemed holy enuff to christen with her stink. 2 bombs away and all is well until, dum dum dum, the dreaded dingleberry. the culprit? a momma hair! ugh! we share everything! how funny the different approaches dogs take to rid themselves of the poo pendulum. aspen freezes like a deer in headlights and gives me a pitiful look as if to say 'yo human a little help in keeping my dignity please.' since i usually carry plastic bags in every pocket i am able to calmly walk up and grab said turd. this is truly a representation of his laid back nature. gaia is not so laid back she is more a like me a brute force kinda girl. she tries to outrun the attached doody ball! remember i am attached to the other end of the leash. annnnddd the race is on! 90 pounds of rottie running full bore in an effort to escape the excrement. mom draggin behind trying not to be the victim of shrapnel. meanwhile i do get the occasional break when she slows long enough to look back and see the turd still attached. with each break in velocity i try aimlessly to grab with a bag and then we're off again. since my hair is so long i have given her ample length and when she runs the poop spins in a propeller type fashion. by the grace of doG i am able to slow her enough to carefully capture the culprit. i admit it -- today a turd got the best of me. tomorrow - REMATCH!

yikes! personally i hate dog parks. ok so i don't hate the idea of dog parks -- on paper it's wonderful. add a couple retarded dog owners into the mix (i don't mean you ce) and you have the potential for disaster. i am sure somewhere there are some really nice dog parks but the ones i have been to suck buttcrack and mostly because people are stupid! it's the same people who let videos/cartoons be their babysitter. they bring the dogs and then for an hour the dog humps everyone twice, takes out knees, barks incessantly when someone new arrives and in general harasses the little guys -- all the while the human is oblivious to the world. AND they don't clean up after their dogs :o cause they have no clue their dog has pooped! ce - one thing you said struck me and i just want to offer an alternative. you said china and zoey sniffed [i]noses[/i] with the rott mix. this face to face contact in and of itself is a no no in doggie language. add in the fact that china is touchy about greetings then factor in that she felt restrained (no where to go if she wanted to retreat) by the leash and i am amazed that this situation turned out as it did. forgive me if you already know this, but can i suggest that next time you are going to let china greet other strange dogs -- you & the other dog owner set it up so that they can first greet nose to tail. sniff sniff 2 seconds max and then get them interested in something else (a toy a treat whatever) walk away -- do the same thing later. always praise her for being calm. china should really be the predictor of who she meets if you think she is getting aroused turn and walk away - go do something else -- try again later once you can talk to the human. probably a good idea not to take china back. right now she needs a little more structure in her greetings -- and structure is lacking at a dog park for sure! clicks to you for getting your 2 out of the chaos!
