The Benefits of Cage-Free Dog Boarding
Dog boarding has evolved significantly over the years, moving away from the traditional cage-based setups to more modern, cage-free environments. This change is driven by a growing understanding of dogs' emotional and psychological needs. Cage-free dog boarding provides numerous benefits for both dogs and their owners. Let’s explore these benefits in detail.
Reduced Stress and Anxiety
Traditional kennels, with their confined spaces and limited interaction, can be stressful for dogs. Cage-free boarding offers a more open environment, reducing the feelings of confinement and isolation. Dogs can roam freely, interact with other dogs, and feel more at ease, leading to lower stress levels.
2. Increased Socialization
Cage-free environments encourage socialization among dogs. They can play, interact, and form bonds with other dogs, which is crucial for their social development. This interaction helps dogs improve their social skills, making them more well-adjusted and less anxious around other dogs in the future.
3. Improved Physical Health
In a cage-free setting, dogs have more space to move around, run, and play. This increased activity level promotes better physical health, helping to prevent obesity and related health issues. Regular exercise also ensures that dogs burn off excess energy, which can lead to better behaviour.
4. Enhanced Mental Stimulation
Cage-free boarding facilities often provide various forms of mental stimulation, such as toys, obstacle courses, and interactive playtime. These activities keep dogs mentally engaged and prevent boredom, which can lead to destructive behaviour. Mental stimulation is as important as physical exercise for a dog’s overall well-being.
5. Better Sleep and Relaxation
Dogs in cage-free environments tend to sleep better because they are less anxious and more comfortable. The freedom to choose their sleeping spots and move around as they wish contributes to more restful and uninterrupted sleep. This rest is vital for maintaining a dog’s health and mood.
6. Personalized Attention
Many cage-free boarding facilities offer a higher staff-to-dog ratio, allowing for more personalized attention and care. Staff members can closely monitor each dog’s behaviour, health, and overall well-being, providing individualized care as needed. This attention ensures that any health or behavioural issues are promptly addressed.
7. Safety and Supervision
While the idea of cage-free boarding might raise safety concerns, reputable facilities have rigorous safety protocols in place. Trained staff members supervise dogs at all times to ensure they play safely and peacefully. Additionally, dogs are usually grouped based on size, temperament, and play style to prevent any conflicts.
8. A Home-Like Environment
Cage-free boarding facilities strive to create a home-like atmosphere, which can ease the transition for dogs used to be free at home. This familiarity helps dogs feel more comfortable and secure during their stay, making the experience more enjoyable for them.
9. Peace of Mind for Owners
Knowing that their pets are in a stress-free, supervised environment gives pet owners peace of mind. They can travel or handle other commitments without worrying about their dogs being confined or stressed. Many facilities also offer regular updates and photos, keeping owners connected with their pets.
Conclusion
Cage-free dog boarding is a modern, humane approach to pet care that prioritizes the emotional, physical, and social well-being of dogs. By providing a more natural and comfortable environment, cage-free facilities ensure that dogs are happier, healthier, and more relaxed during their stay. Whether you’re planning a short trip or a longer vacation, choosing cage-free boarding can make a significant positive difference in your dog's experience.

Me: Why does no one crate train their dog anymore?
Me, scrolling the comments on a cute video of a puppy sleeping in a comfortable crate: I’m starting to understand why all the dogs at work act like they’ve never been crated in their life.
#apparently it’s abuse now#I’m not kidding#the top rated comment was someone defending crate training#but EVERY SINGLE OTHER COMMENT was some variation of:#why’s he in jail!?#I can’t believe you cage that sweet baby 😭#imagine spending your entire life in a cage!!!#I hope the next life your dog cages you!!!#just… WHAT???#CRATE TRAIN YOUR DOGS!!!!#do you know how many dogs I’ve seen that ate something while they were free-roaming the house while their owners weren’t at home???#they should not be crates 24/7 OBVIOUSLY#but sleeping in a crate at night is NORMAL??#also your dog will need to be crated at the vet#make sure they’re comfortable with it#dogs#pets#animal training#crate training#pet ownership

Lestat holds the leash for louis and louis holds the leash for armand and armand holds the leash for daniel
but daniel thinks he is not on a leash and that is armand who is holding the leash for louis and claudia is holding the cage for louis and lestat
but lestat thinks that claudia holds the leash for louis and louis holds the leash for lestat and lestat holds the cage for armand
but armand thinks that lestat holds the cage for louis
but louis thinks that he is the cage with everyone else and they cannot get out because the corpse of claudia is blocking the door
but claudia didn't want to be on a leash or hold one and she kept pushing until it broke only to realize she was in the cage alone all along and there is no way out
#interview with the vampire#iwtv#the vision of them being dogs and masters to each other but not realizing they are just bitting their own tails....#ur vampirism can be a cage if you want it will not free you but turn you into an animal that craves domestication

Recently saw a post in the Adam Taurus tag (an exercise in patience, that tag) that claimed that the signs of Adam not actually caring for the Faunus cause start as early as the Black Trailer. Their evidence?
Blake: What about the crew members?
Adam: What about them?
They proposed that the lack of concern Adam felt for the SDC crew whilst knowing that Faunus were often employed against their will meant he always put his revenge above the needs of the Faunus
Let me tell you, my jaw dropped at the stupidity
The way they went on, you'd think he was about to kill a small nation's worth of SDC workers, but like.
Babe.
It's a cargo train. Their skeleton crew barely has bones
According to the Association of American Railroads, the standard practice is a two-person crew, a locomotive engineer and a conductor, but it's not uncommon to have a crew of one. It would undoubtedly suck to be one of those guys if Adam had succeeded, but it's not the unbridled massacre people seem to think it is
As for the Faunus angle, I highly doubt any slave would be given the skills of either of those positions, much less left in charge of who knows how much lien's worth of name brand products, so no danger of accidentally eliminating the unfortunate kin there. Had they been Faunus that did join the SDC of their own volition, then they's be SOL just like the humans
I'm so tired of people making shit up or blowing things out of proportion to justify their Adam hate
#rwde#seems like adams really picking up speed lately. whats up w the resurgence?#i mean I'm writing an essay on him so obvs thats why i won't shut up abt him but whats everyone elses deal?#anyway id really like these adam haters to put themselves in his shoes for a hot minute#child slave. branded and blinded in one eye. forever labeled as schnee property. spent years freeing faunus from literal cages in sdc mines#you really expect him to give a drunk rat's ass abt anyone willingly working for the schnees? i fucking wouldn't#the real question people should be asking is why the fuck were they gonna blow the train up instead of stealing the dust?#were the writers not thinking abt the consequences of igniting an entire trainful of dust at once?#itd leave an interesting crater for sure but to what end? if they steal it the dust and bots can be sold/traded/hacked/reverse engineered#but thats been the problem w rwby since the literal beginning: there was never any thought put into why people are doing the things they do#whys torchwick stealing all the dust in vale? 🤷♂️ what does weiss intend to do w the family company? 🤷♂️ what the dog doin? 🤷♂️#this isnt writing. its typing. and it's pathetic

hi hello here’s my propaganda about why owning dogs of two DRAMATICALLY different sizes is the best thing ever:
perks of having a tiny dog: stuffed animal sized (you can hold them like a teddy bear)
perks of having a big dog: body pillow sized (spoonable)
visual evidence:
that is all thank you for coming to my ted talk
#sorry I’m just snuggling with Astrid rn and thinking about how much I love her#she’s so baby sized and warm and cozy she’s like a little heated weighed bear with free white noise and I love her so so much#I love both my doggies so so much they are the bestest#and having one dog that’s 15 pounds and one that’s 90+ pounds is just delightful#I get the best of both worlds#aughhghhhh she’s so warm guys. her old lady snoring is so cute. I love her. I love the way she snuggles with me#she just curls up so perfectly to match whatever weird shape I lay in#like a little snuggly puzzle piece#right now I’m kind of half curled up on my side and she’s tucked into the empty space in the curve of my tummy and thighs#I can feel her breathing and her little bony rib cage#I love dogs and pets in general so much

Imagine you have to set up yakumo's enclosure for the next couple months. How do you set it up and what do you put in there?
oh NO.! THE PROPPHECY HAS BEenm FUFILLED
i am standing in my room, leggies rooted to the floor. i am in shock .frozen and i have no idea how to proceed. there is a perpetual pathetically sobbing serpent under my blankie.
#stares at the camera and stage whispers#i can't be responsible for another living creature. i can't. or . er. i can. but I SHOULDN'T#i'll have to suppress every violent urge in my body to keep this thing alive for several months#i CANNOT fling him out the window. i WILL NOT grab his entire face and squeeze. I SHALL NOT chew on his tail.#now i'm reminded of that post where it's a pretty princess cage on the floor and comments go [that aint big enough for a dog]#and OP is all [it's not FOR a dog 😀]#yeah. that's me right now imagining a full grown yakumo in a cage by my bedside#SO FOR EASE OF MY IMAGINATION AND TO increase yaku's chance of surviving these next months#i'm going to try real hard to imagine him exclusively in pocket snake form (scrunches up my face in valiant effort)#his enclosure (crib?!?!) is flanked on all sides by eiden plushies#since yaku is an adult there is a smaller chance of him suffocating on eiden in his sleep. wait. actually#arranges the eiden walls to give some pockets of air. i don't trust him. he WILL suffocate on eiden given the opportunity#he gets one of those tiny dollhouse cooking sets for enrichment LOL#or i'll give him a bunch of those make-your-own gummy kits with elaborate setups and tiny egg gummies#crying yaku is the excuse i need to finally get a humidifier#i can survive not misting myself.. usually... but yaku will cry himself into dehydration. it's misting time#he gets an entire alcove closed off in the corner with his basic needs met. i cannot perceive#he can lurk in privacy as much as he wants. there are at least TWO hot rocks in there with garukaru's faces painted on em#there is a duplicate open-space alcove next to it for when he actually wants something from me LOL#is he a free range snake? can i take him to a bunch of restaurants and shove food into my sleeve for him? he wants to sample the delights..#tempted to put a bell on him just so if he gets loose in the basement i'll know to fish him out#but he's pretty cautious... he won't get into any fatal situations in the house right? ...does he know how to swim?!#at least one day is reserved for testing yaku's swimming capabilities.#he is going into the bathtub while it has a film of water. gonna test his traction. i hope i won't get panic-strangled#asks

every day i think abt the time a dude got SO PISSED at me bc i "just see wesker as a pretty face, you dont ACTUALLY care about him as a character" and its like 🧍mf me wanting to make out with wesker and being super interested in his character are concepts that can coexist. every time someone tells me this my vital need to make out with wesker goes up by 50. i will kiss him gayly AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!!
no cause i hate dudes that act like most people who are attracted to re men don’t care about their lore and personality because they’re the same people who thirst over the women without giving a fuck about their lore or personality
one of my friends tried to accuse me of only liking wesker for his looks bc i said it made me uncomfortable when he talked about the dbd female characters in a sexual way (talking abt their body mainly just makes me uncomfortable bc it’s so unwarranted and why i don’t rlly like playing w him) and i was like ??? do you want me to go on a 5 hour rant abt how much i love him?? i never thirst over his body in front of literally anybody ever unless they’re okay with it
also once he tried to mansplain wesker’s motivations to me i wanted to murder so bad
anyways yes wesker IS a pretty face but most people who do like him love his character too. not everybody is a tik tok leon fan /hj
#one he tried to mansplain my own dogs to me#fucker i’ve had them since they were puppies no they won’t piss in my room over me waiting two seconds to let them out of my room#they’re MY dogs i think i’d know them better than you#i have 4 dogs and used to have 2 other ones do not try to explain my own dogs to me i hate you#could you tell i don’t like this fucker#could potentially get me the mercy lifeguard skin and may get me nic cage 4 free so#gotta stick around 🙏#if you see a guy named shedimssmiles in your game please tunnel/sandbag him that’s the guy#he’s a very bad person and i do not like him

After the lifting debacle of a few months ago, Nina has refused to go into her carrier. Finally worked her back up to chilling in there whenever she wants a small dark spot. Going to let her really relax into it then start working on closing the carrier.
#life of dan#my little rat baby#she was found in a cage on the side of the road#so i understand she doesnt like the carrier#but its necessary because i dont have a car so#its not like i can take her places roaming free in my car#i either walk or she has to take the bus#and they allow leashed dogs but they definitey prefer them in carriers

@kitxkatrp asked: ❛ what do you want from me? ❜ Dazai to maika 🐝 * ― 𝑨𝑵𝑮𝑺𝑻𝒀 𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑷𝑻𝑺.
"Given everything, I'd like to think you hold more common sense than that, Dazai." Because he does, she knows that. She wasn't stupid, she just hoped she could look past everything and be alright. But that wasn't how life was...
She could feel her own anxiety spiking, forcing a quiet breath through her nose. Chuuya was with her, sure, but... Dazai was still definitely a horrifying person overall. "I want left the hell alone. Stop trying to act like we're best friends and realize the reality of it. You push boundaries and expect me to drop everything to come running to you. I have a life too, you know, and I'm a person. Being treated like shit isn't exactly on my bucket list."

the way the vast vast majority of people treat rabbits should be outlawed as animal abuse.
#buzgie ❁#i like how the fundamental zoo principal of letting animals express their natural behaviors absolutely does not apply whatsoever to rabbits#yeah just put them in a pen equivalent to letting a large dog live in a bedroom its entire life with no intellectual stimulation but eating#and chewing on the bars. its fine#for some reason these same people treat chickens(!) vastly vastly better and might even be angry if they dont free range#let me remind you that chickens require much less intellectual stimulation than rabbits do (they are stupid)#and that rabbits travel around all day the same way a chicken does#there is ZERO FUCKING DIFFERENCE between putting a rabbit and a chicken in one of those tiny inhumane cages#ZERO
