It's hard to explain just how much work is involved in training a guide dog puppy. This is an unexpected training moment with a set of Halloween pumpkins. We work to socialise our puppies to *everything* they might encounter as a qualified guide dog.
"We believe in vaccinations!" says Josie. "And why do we need them for a dog license, and children don't have to have them for school?" 🤔 #DogsOfMastodon #BerneseMountainDog
Doggy photo! Sleepy dog haha. She's kind of a guard dog/pet. #Dogs #DogsOfMastodon Described with Gemini because I give credit where it's do even if it's a software/computer thing.
"Have you ever wondered what people used to name their dogs back in medieval times?
"Lucky for us, there was this book written back in the 15th century that included over 1,000 names that were considered to be suitable for dogs," Lexi says.
After reading the entire book, she shared some of her favorite names, which included Garlik, Nosewise, Synfull, Salmon, Mustarde, Bryan, and also Nise and Noty, Filthe, Dredefull, and Arguement.
The book, which featured about 1,065 dog names that people deemed appropriate back then, was recently sold into a closed private collection.
The Smithsonian Magazine said Sturdy, Whitefoot, Hardy, Jakke, Bo, Terri, Troy, Nosewise, Amiable, Nameles, Clenche, Bragge, Ringwood and Holdfast were all also popular dog names
A 700-year-old book, recently sold into a closed private collection, revealed the most-popular dog names in the Middle Ages, and some may surprise you.
So this is a thing now. Adventures in Senior Dog Ownership. 🙄 The Old Pug is super weird about mealtimes now. She's ravenous. Then she won't eat. Then she tries to eat the Retriever's food. Now she will only eat her breakfast when it's next to the Retriever. Not her dinner though. She wants her dinner other side of the kitchen next to the water dish. Ah well. Whatever makes the old gal happy. 😄 #Pug #Pugs #DogsOfMastodon
A few min ago, we said goodbye to our baby Cookie, who lived till 14 years and 8 months. She was born in Malaysia, lived in Singapore, stopped over in Finland where she picked up a EU pet passport, and lived the last 6 years of her life in San Francisco where she was greatly beloved by all.
She had two beautiful and healthy months with us, from her last ER visit. After another one this week, we learned that she would decline further.
