Dogs
It's an interesting diet this breed needs. Basically small frozen scraps, but very rich in content. Their digestive systems evolved as nomads north of the Arctic Circle and know nothing else, so a bit of care needs to be taken. His body will do a lot with the vital scraps of tundra animals, and doesn't know how to handle big foreign diets which make him unenergetic and unwell after a few meals. Tonight's menu is sheep and beef tripe—their organs go well, but their meat and fat doesn't. Frozen salmon cuts—these dogs know fish as well as reindeer and love frozen meet. They extract all the goods from them. And a rabbit foot—Fur and bone is common in their diet and helps clean. They can start to poop bad without fur fibre. One of the more tame dishes considering the other weird off cuts of bits and pieces he gets. Thought some may find it interesting for a bit of an unusual breed outside of Finland. Edit: And yeah, the photo makes the meal look big and him small. But he's 20kg and that dish is about 3/4 a banana in diameter.
I'm so glad I found it again! I have had four dogs in my life and she was by far the smartest. Very easily teachable, very friendly, very social and, as you can see, quite patient. I have overcome my grief, so no apologies for my loss are necessary. Of course I miss her, but seeing this photo made me so happy. It's like getting one more moment with her all these years.
Today is National Dog Day! This day is meant to bring awareness and celebrate shelter dogs. On this day, consider adopting, donating or fostering for your local rescue/pound!
I have a 40 lb Samoyed who is a specific type of aggressive chewer. It isn’t so much she destroys any toy I give her because of how hard she chews, but rather she is like a sniper. She finds the weak point in a toy and carefully chews it until the toy is destroyed. I had to stop giving her stuffed toys as she stripes the fur off of them and eats it. While nylon bones work, she will go through them in a few days. And I don’t want to give her toys so hard they will wreck her teeth. The problem is when I go to pet stores, all the toys labeled for “aggressive chewers”, she finds the weak spot and destroys the toy within one day (sometimes within an hour). I just recently got a tuffy ring and I was hopeful but she is chewing the ends and eating the fabric off of it. Does anyone else have a dog like this and if so, what toys have worked for you?

Now he has to learn the art of carrying stick.
It means we'll get some damn peace at home lol  And it's a fact that dogs alternate between graceful and goofy when they run.
Right now we're at the "sitting in the lobby and watching people get on and off" stage of desensitization.
