A frozen "meat-sicle" works if I don't remove his collar first. Drops his bone in resignation and gets in the tub on his own. Then pummels me with water shaking off. Mines waterproof. Kinda sucks.

Well I no longer have a best buddy. Was time for the booster shot. Be at least a day before he comes close to me again. Sad but he is good and safe now. And Lyme disease now included. Ticks confirmed here in yard. $25 if you know how to do it. But don't experiment please.

Best f'ing buddy is right, talk about loyal and loving.....they make most people look bad. I've recently lost 2 of my 3, very old hounds(Baset and Baset Beagle.......I hear that two new Basets are coming......had hounds my whole life, rescues, SPCA, waifs,puppy farms etc. Losing one is worse than losing a relative! If I passed out in yard from drinking...it's pouring rain and I shit myself, my dog(s) would drag me in house,clean me up and put me to bed!

Puppies are born with 'human-like' social skills, wired to communicate with people
"We found that there's definitely a strong genetic component, and they're definitely doing it from the get-go," researchers say.

Do humans have a pack mentality?Puppies are born with 'human-like' social skills, wired to communicate with people
"We found that there's definitely a strong genetic component, and they're definitely doing it from the get-go," researchers say.
Humans are inherently social; we crave community and belonging. This is natural and can be healthy. That need for belonging can go haywire, however, when it morphs into pack mentality. ... In the same vein is something just as dangerous and often found mingling with pack mentality: groupthink.
Do dogs think humans are part of their pack?
Dogs want to please their humans and love being part of a human family. They are social creatures and prefer being part of a group, which is why they are such loyal companions. By giving your dog boundaries, leadership, guidance, and love, both you and your dog will have the relationship you desire.
The dynamic between owners and their dogs centers on humans assuming the role of alpha, also known as the leader. Dogs are pack animals, and every pack has an alpha. Within the pack, other members are either dominant or submissive.

My poor friend spent 4 hours tripping me trying to make up for being upset with me. I gave him the shot?? Yet as soon as the wings hit the smoker he was playing his pack status. I got to lick my fingers, as I avoid meat pretty much, while hand picking my amends for him. Gotta love them. They don't give much of a choice.

I'm not on FB or Instagram either! I tried FB twice and couldn't take it....that was well over a decade ago. Now the only thing I miss is like my sis has a 1 year old and another on the way...I'll miss most of the baby pics by not having a FB acct. I might have to make one just for that..and FB marketplace is hot now I hear. I'm always down for a good deal

social media can be sent to an email address.
Give her your email address.
Most are taking the pic's with their smart phone anyway so she could simply e-mail or text them.

Yes but that means an extra step for a busy mom, and it doesn't happen. I get an occasional pic, but not most of what is posted.

I have a FB account. It is used as an observation tool, the key being a tool.
I do not post on social media outside of RIU. Not even 1 time on FB. I have put a like on a few post my sister and niece have posted.
