Dogs everywhere!

I’ve a cocker spaniel. Same here - no issues (other than once she ate something she shouldn’t during her teen stage). I saw the genetic testing report the breeder carried out so not aware of any issues. And if there are issues in the future (as with any being as they age) I have enough money to get the right treatment for her. I know it’s possible she may have cataracts or glaucoma, and it doesn’t worry me as I have both of those myself.

I myself have auto immune conditions and I don’t rage against my parents for having me when they know these things run in the family.

She’s currently sat having a lovely cuddle with me because she’s a happy girl.

The dog haters on here seem to have issues. I’m not sure why they don’t scroll on by - I imagine they likely have high blood pressure from being ranty people all the time.

Meanwhile I’ll continue my chilled Sunday now we’ve had our two walks for the day so it’s time to stick a chicken in the oven (which we will share with both the dog and the cat - that cat will not take her eyes off the oven until the chicken is cooked and out).

I hope you all have a lovely peaceful snuggly Sunday ❤️

Why are you pretending you are thinking of the dogs best interests when this is one of your first posts.

My dogs are well looked after with no health conditions. I will spend whatever money I want on them. Nothing to do with you.

Beagles are known to live till they 12-15 if well looked after. I've made sure mine hasn't got overweight as they tend to overeat if allowed.

At the moment she's napping after her dinner. If I sat next to her she would come for a cuddle. She's a content little thing.

My other dog is cute mixed breed who's only ever had to go to the vets for yearly jabs and to have his teeth cleaned.

Stop pretending you care about the dogs.

Oh god you're right dogs are everywhere I just found one in my bed, it's really going out of hand !!!

So what if people buy those for their dogs, my 2 have had nothing like that.

The dog explosion is one thing.. it's all the shit (literal and figurative) that goes with it that I hate.

Dog shops everywhere selling overpriced tat to gullible people, cafés selling dog ice cream and dog lattes. Pet shops selling dog wine and dog party ring biscuits. Its deranged 🤡

I thought we were in a cost of living crisis?

Humans get cancer too so that is not an argument.

Anyway, you're boring me now.

1 in 2 people will get cancer. We should stop breeding.

Lucky you. My neighbour across the street recently lost her beagle after a horrific battle with bone cancer. It's common with the breed.

I have a 12 year old beagle who has had no health conditions. She is the happiest little dog. She's had a good life.

you are right, we shouldn’t hold dogs to human standards…which is why they shouldn’t be in pubs, bars, restaurants, clothes shops etc etc…

that dog would bore me. Cute but not better than a human being. Dogs will never be as important as humans. Soz,

How could you not prefer this to some miserable, boring Mumsnetter?

When you're out in a hotel and a barking competition is going on then no it's not.

@Absentmindedsmile

Nope! 🤷‍♀️

Glorious isn’t! ❤️ 🐶

Again, that does not mean we can't trust dogs. Maybe that pug was already starving when the owner died. The rescue my own dog came from has rehomed a pair of greyhounds that had also started eating their owner after they died at home. That does not make them dangerous or not to be trusted when you are still up and about.

Why are you holding dogs to human standards? They are animals, not humans, so they are not bound by the same laws as we are. If you took your child to the zoo and saw a great ape having a fiddle with it's penis (which does happen), would you laugh it off and say that is what animals do? I bet you would be complaining to the the staff about it. Filthy animals not living by human rules.

It is ok to not like dogs. It is not ok to say shit like dog owners get off by picking up poo, or find it kinky to express dog anal glands. Do you get off when you change a nappy? Because that is your twisted logic... and so typical of the more extreme dog haters on here. It is not enough to just not like dogs... you have to come out with utter drivel too.
