#Dog Behavior Help

Do dogs in your au ever bark or yip? Or do they mostly just talk like normal? :0

They mostly talk like normal, but sometimes some additional dog vocalizations slip in. I think unabashed barking or howling would be a little too obvious, but they might snarl a bit when angry, or maybe speak in a snarly tone, and unintentionally whine and whimper when they're sad, scared or in pain and so on. The canine sounds are more instinctual than spoken language and pups that are only learning to talk use them more than grown adults. In some circles they're considered somewhat uncivilized and people might think you're rude or not in control of your emotions if you're acting uninhibitedly doggish.

so like. i think part of the reason that john stopped bringing sam on hunts was not to protect sam, but to protect himself. john trained them to protect themselves, but also so that he could have hunting partners. and dean is a solid hunting partner. he’s quiet, obedient, calm under pressure. john can trust him to watch his back.

except when sam is there.

they only bring sam on a couple hunts before john starts noticing a pattern. small slip ups that he hasn’t made in years, shots dean would never normally miss that he can’t explain, monsters getting the jump on them when dean was the lookout. at first, john thinks it’s his son’s way of rebelling, trying to prove his argument that sam is too young to hunt.

but dean wouldn’t go and get injured on purpose to prove a point, especially not in front of sam. dean seems more concerned with sam’s panic than his own wound. sam works well under pressure, stabilizing the injury even through tears. john has to finish the job by himself, knowing sam would never leave dean in that condition, and not wanting to bring even more attention to them by arguing over it.

the hunts are messier with the three of them, and his youngest is much more resistant than dean was, so john only brings sam on hunts when john deems it necessary. everything goes smoother that way, dean back to his cool-headed self.

the last time sam comes on a hunt with them, john almost gets his heart ripped out by the ghost because dean is too busy checking on sam to burn the bones. dean all but carries sam— it’s only a mild concussion, and his ribs aren’t even cracked. dean’s fought on worse injuries— to the car, and refuses to speak to john for two days.

sam is a liability, but not because he’s bad at hunting. his presence destroys any logic in dean’s mind, like he’d rather die than see sam get slightly injured. he’s not that reckless with john.

at least sammy’s good at research.

It's so funny to know basic animal body language and interactions. People will post videos like "omigod he's doing (insert impossible thing here)!!!!" and I can be like. No, he's not. He's doing something funnier actually. But I will not comment on this bc it's not harming anyone and will move on with my day.

I'm not hating but I do see some confusion around Zuko's flashbacks in Zuko Alone and the flashbacks in The Search re: people going "whaaaat this family dynamic is so weird Azula is acting so weird no one actually acts like this" and like IDK HOW TO TELL YOU THIS. BUT UHM. THEY DO. if they're fucking insane. and abusive. which was kind of the whole point

like hey its GOOD. that you have never seen this kind of shit irl but. it IS kind of textbook. idk how to break this news w/out sounding like a dick sdhsdhs

Did you see the part where Meg was annoyed that only dogs can be qualified to be service medical dogs? lol guess she's mad a bird can't be a service cardic arrest animal. Once again pulled up the "people think only DOGS can be trained to do this!!! How dare they!!!" *grumbling about mammalian bias* argument. I'm sorry Meg but your fucking bird or a rabbit cannot be a service animal for the blind or anything that dogs have be bred to do

me when they won’t let my service crocodile into Walmart:

Fun fact: if you make a compilation of all Adam scenes - trailers, shorts, and mentions included - it would be 45 minutes long

We got our dog when she was 6 months old from a neighbour of relative's relative - it wasn't an official place to get a dog from but the guy wasn't able to take care of over ten dogs

Our puppy was a bit anxious but after like a moth she got used to everything

However when we moved (she was around 5 years old) it had gotten bad and now after my sister and her boyfriend moved with her it's even worse

Maybe she's not scared of storms and fireworks but she panics when radiator clicks, when you turn on electric stove, when wind blows and when rain falls on roller shutter casing (not sure if I wrote it right)

She's trying to hide in small spaces (in a wardrobe, under a desk, in a bed, under a bed, on someone's laps, under armchair) but it usually works for around half a minute, she pants, she scratches every surface she can see, follows everyone around

We tried laying with her, taking her on our laps, letting her hide where she wants (and giving her new options) sometimes like how they are sometimes with blankets, giving her calming meds recommended by vet (and probably more I can't remember right now) and most of the time nothing works (sometimes something will but not 100% of the time) and it's so tiring both for her and for us

I don't want to give up but I have no idea what to do

the person behind me with 4 big dogs coming out to scream top of her lungs at their shepherd for jumping on the fence to look at us, not even barking yet, has genuinely unsettled me here at 10:17am
