Self-Promo Sunday: “A Litter More Than They Bargained For”

Hey there friends and shipmates! I’ve taken a couple of weeks off on the Self-Promo Sunday posts, but I was looking back through some of my older pieces and found this fluffy one shot offering from a couple years ago. (It was part of the amazing @cspupstravaganza event in 2019.) I didn’t make it any cover art before, so I’ve added that to it as well. Taking place sometime post- season six; Hope is present and a toddler, but Henry is still there as well. That makes it canon divergent future fluff, I guess? Apologies if you’ve read this one before, but maybe you’ll get a little smile from revisiting it.

Also available on both AO3 HERE and on ff.net HERE

“A Litter More Than They Bargained For”

One pet she could have handled. One pet would have been perfectly manageable. A single, sweet-natured, reasonably well-behaved small pet - maybe a cat or a rabbit or even a hamster - wouldn’t have really changed anything about their lives in the seaside house or their daily routine that much. In fact, she and Killian had already been discussing a surprise for Hope in the form of a kitten from the litter her mom and dad’s barn cat had recently birthed, completely charming their pre-schooler upon her first visit to them at her grandparents’ farm.

Somehow, instead, all of Emma’s best-laid plans had been inverted and overturned, as so often seemed to happen in their chaotic magical town. When they had gone into the station that particular morning, they had found a large, mud-caked, burr-riddled dog tied to the bike rack and whining pitifully upon first sight of them. Emma was too disgruntled at the culprit for figuring out that their whole three person department were soft touches for strays as she charged foward to untie the poor beast, to even realize that the critter was already rooting into her affection. Needless to say, rather than their intended adoption, they had managed to take in a shaggy, slobbery mixed breed almost as large as a Shetland pony, with at least some Irish Wolfhound in its ancestry, according to the shelter attendant.

Gleefully mimicking that last declaration in her toddler voice, Hope had leaned over out of Killian’s arms to reach for where the huge hound lounged panting on the exam table, tongue lolling and tail thumping happily as she babbled, “Wolfie! Wolfie!” and patted along the dog’s back and shoulders as well as she could.

The thick, scruffy grey fur covering the animal’s lanky form did indeed resemble a wolf to some degree, and Kililan chuckled good naturedly at the easy moniker their daughter had seemingly bestowed. “Well, it would seem our little love has already christened her, Swan,” he commented lightly.

Emma wasn’t fooled by the casual demeanor covering her True Love’s words. She felt her last chance of finding a more suitable home for a dog of that size outside the town limits (preferably with acres for it to run) fade as she realized that her husband, as well as her little girl, was already attached. Killian wanted this dog more than he would admit.

Reaching out to stroke the gentle giant’s head resignedly, Emma reluctantly admitted to herself that the poor stray really was a sweet dog, despite her astonishing proportions and the amount of extra responsibility she herself would no doubt be taking on. “Hear that, Wolfie?” she questioned, looking the dog in the eyes rather than either member of her family, whom she could feel nearly vibrating with excitement beside her, “I guess you’re as good as ours.”

Henry only confirmed the permanence of the decision when he got home from the high school after his editors’ meeting for the school paper. Though a dog had never been something he had particularly asked for - they had spent so many of his growing up years being flung from one realm to another, either trying to rescue some member of their family, or seeking the needed magic item to fight some new villain, that it hadn’t left a lot of time for house training puppies or taking one for leisurely evening strolls. Still, as Henry came up the walk and saw Wolfie stretched out on the porch, Hope cuddled against her side and Emma and Killian curled together on the porch swing, the way her nearly adult son’s face had lit up and he’d rushed forward in excitement had shown Emma that kids didn’t really grow out of loving dogs, no matter their age.

Ruby, or perhaps the irrepressible brunette’s inner wild animal, seemed to find their new addition, and the rather obvious name Hope had latched onto, especially entertaining. Due to Wolfie’s size, the Jones clan now ate outside at the patio tables when they stopped for breakfast on the way to drop Hope off at Ashley Hermann’s Pumpkin Seeds Daycare, and before Henry took off for class and they headed on for the station. Her mother’s best friend didn’t even try to hide the fact that she saved back either bacon, sausage, or ham especially for Emma’s pet each day, laughing when after about a week Wolfie came to her the moment she exited the diner’s front entrance, before she could even reach their table, and began nosing at her pockets for the expected bounty.

However, it was Granny herself who startled them with a matter of fact question about a month after Wolfie had joined their family. The diner’s proprietress had come out to wait on them herself that morning, a real nip in the air as November neared, and explaining that Ruby was lying in for a while after the full moon the night before. Her half-spectacles perched on the very end of her nose, eyes sparkling with every bit as much pep and mischief as her exuberant granddaughter when she neared their table, sleeves rolled up to her elbows despite the chill and a pencil tucked behind one ear.

“The usual, Captain?” Widow Lucas asked with a playful nod to Killian, “or are you and your crew feeling adventurous this morning?” While awaiting their answer, she reached into her apron for her order pad, also pulling out a juicy ham bone for Wolfie.

“Here you are, darlin’ girl,” she continued, bending to offer it to their canine companion, much to Wolfie’s approving delight as she barked a ‘thank you’ and took the treat into her drooling jowls with an almost humorous care, then immediately dropped to hold it between her massive paws and began gnawing away.

When Granny stood to face them again however, a knowing smirk was painted across her face, taking their breakfast order seemingly long forgotten. “You don’t have a clue that dog is carrying a litter of pups, do you?” she asked, shaking her head at what she seemed to think was their dense naivete.

Killian’s brows rose in surprise, and Emma was already shaking her head in disgruntled exasperation. “Really?” she sputtered, narrowly eying the diner owner as if she might be playing some sort of elaborate joke at her expense.

Then, plunking her head down to rest on her arms crossed on the table, she sighed as her daughter contiuned to chortle in delight and Henry and Hook laughed heartily, in spite of their manful efforts to hold back for her sake. “Why am I even surprised?” Emma muttered. “Of course, she is.”

***

From there, they learned that apparently the shelter owner did not have it out for them, but that it can be genuinely hard to tell when a dog is expecting until they are quite close to their due date. It also turned out that Granny’s lupine sixth sense had been right on the money. Within another couple weeks, they could see for themselves that Wolfie’s stomach was rounding and she was nesting in corners throughout the house, particularly favoring the warmth of the laundry room between the dryer and the wall. Seeing as how canine gestation was only eight or nine weeks from start to finish, and their mother-to-be was already showing, it was a bit of a scramble to prepare, knowing the litter of pups would soon be on its way.

As had become typical since Wolfie’s arrival, this too went well beyond what they had expected. On the night they returned from Hope’s Thanksgiving Play at the preschool to tiny yips and whimpers greeting them the second the door opened, the entire Jones family was stunned to discover eight small wriggling bodies jostling for place against Wolfie’s exhausted form where she lay curled into the mound of old blankets and towels they had created for her once her fixation on her laundry room nest become plain. Various rather wetly bedraggled and squirming balls of grey, black, white and mottled mixes of those three colors in coat greeted their eyes, prompting Killian to comment rather drily, “Well, now there are nearly enough of us to crew a pirate ship.” He chuckled, shaking his head, as he added, “Mayhap we can give them proper nautical names this time, rather than letting Hope call them the first word that pops from her mouth.”

“Paaa-pa!” their daughter protested indignantly, stomping her little foot on the linoleum tile and placing chubby fists on her hips. “I did not!” In her two braids, beaded headband, and fringed brown “Indian” dress from the play, she made more an adorable than a threatening sight as she intended, but Killian nodded to their daughter dutifully all the same. “My apologies, little lass. Of course you didn’t. I must have been mistaken.”

Emma rolled her eyes and shook her head at his mannered playfulness with Hope, though her heart warmed inside her as well, loving that their little girl had never known anything but a devoted, adoring, present father, who might have to be pulled back from spoiling Hope at times, but would never let her down or abandon her. The two of them could melt her every defense, just as Henry had always done. Even if it did sometimes leave her trying to be the voice of reason, Emma didn’t truly mind.

Henry, for his part, snorted inelegantly at their nonsense, crouching to pet a nervous-looking Wolfie on the head and scritch under her chin the way she liked. “Don’t worry, girl,” he mumured soothingly. “We won’t hurt them. You’re all safe here.”

Her son grew thoughtful for a moment, mulling something over, then looked up when he asked excitedly. “What if we did pick nautical names for them all? Like Jack and Jib and Scurvy?” He was grinning from ear-to-ear now, as his Author’s love of wordplay awakened - an expression Killian quickly mirrored.

“Aye, lad, those are great! And perhaps Scoundrel and Buccaneer as well?”

“Hey, hey, guys,” Emma broke in, trying to stop their now-steaming train before they got any more carried away. “Let’s not get too into naming them. The families who adopt them may not be looking for pirate dogs.”

But her husband and son were already on a roll, adding Barrie (in a nod to the Englishman who had created Killian’s literary counterpart) and Doubloon to the list of potential puppy monikers, and not paying her words the slightest bit of attention.

***

Finding homes for their doggie brood proved more difficult than Emma had hoped. If nothing else, it had worked out that they were being weaned just in time to join a family for the perfect child’s Christmas present. And, much as she had intended for them to have a quiet little tabby kitten padding after her through the house rather than a train of panting, yipping, running and tumbling balls of shedding fluff, the pups were sweet and incredibly cute. So she couldn’t understand how every time she thought she had someone poised to take one home, it fell through at the last moment.

With a sigh, she turned away from the sidewalk where old lady Hubbard was walking away. Still cradling Cutlass and Matey to her chest, one in each arm, Emma crossed the porch to sink onto the porch swing with a dejected air. She bent to press a kiss into each of their soft, fuzzy foreheads, murmuring what good babies they were and that it wasn’t their fault. Intellectually, Emma knew it was rather ridiculous to be trying to comfort two puppies who were now playfully rolling and tumbling in her lap, not the least bit concerned at the interview’s outcome. They really had been particularly good as their potential new owner had arrived to meet them; sitting calmly without barking or jumping up, sweetly licking the elderly woman’s fingers affectionately when she offered them, and looking even more adorable than usual with their coats freshly bathed and brushed, so black and silky that their fur nearly shone. All their neighbor had seemed able to focus on though was that they might get under her feet and cause her to fall. When Emma had spoken to her before, the older lady had seemed so anxious for some company now that the last of her many children had left the house, but once she had arrived to see the puppies, all she kept saying was, “I’m all alone out there. If I fell, I might lie for days, unable to get up, and no one would know.”

Emma shrugged her shoulders and ruffled the pups’ fur once again; annoyed, but not sure what to make of the situation. Standing, she was about to take the two little rascals back inside when Killian arrived home for the evening.

“They’re both still here?” he asked curiously, one eyebrow arched in question.

Something niggled at the back of Emma’s mind with his question, whispering that he didn’t seem especially suprised. Shaking her head in silent answer, Emma ushered man and dogs back into the house and headed toward the kitchen, where she still had all of the dog dishes to fill.

“Ah well, Love,” Killian replied, something about his voice just a shade too nonchalant. “Perhaps it’s for the best. As energetic as these scalliwags sometimes get,” he laughed and scratched Matey’s belly when she rolled over to bare it in supplication, “they might have proven a walking hazard to one of advanced years.”

Emma was about to question him further, shocked that Killian had hit on exactly what had stopped the potential adoption, but at that moment Wolfie and the other six of her offspring burst into the kitchen and set up a chorus of barks and howls for their dinner, toenails clicking on the floor and tails thunking against the cabinets. So it wasn’t until later that night, as she was speaking to her mother on the phone, bemoaning yet one more failed attempt at finding the pups permanent homes, that the niggling puzzle piece at last slid into place.

“Well,” Snow offered hesitantly, “I’m sorry it fell through, Sweetie, but you know Mrs. Hubbard isn’t all that steady on her feet these days…”

Suddenly, it all added up: Mrs. Hubbard’s unexpected concern with puppies tripping her up around the house, how Ashley had at first thought they might take one of the puppies, only to be convinced by someone that mice would be much more fitting for class pets at Cinderella’s daycare, and how Aurora and Philip’s second child, Hope’s little friend Rory, had suddenly decided she wanted a white Persian kitten whose hair she could put a pink bow in, “like ‘Rie from ‘Ristocats” Aurora had explained in her daughter’s own words when she’d called to tell Emma.

“Oh my word!” Emma shouted, startling her husband, kids, and the pile of dogs sprawled over them in the living room where they were watching tv. “It was you all, wasn’t it? My whole family has been working against me this entire time!”

Looking sheepishly guilty, Killian and Henry both wordlessly shook their heads in denial. Her mother floundered for a defense for a few seconds and then simply fled by ending the call. But when Emma’s eyes came to rest on her daughter, Hope merely grinned widely, a shameless glint of mischief in her green eyes, and nodded her head in confirmation.

“Why?” Emma sputtered.

“Then the puppies are all ours!” her toddler chirped happily, falling back against Wolfie’s shoulder with a giggle, to which Wolfie merely huffed at the impact, then nosed Hope a bit further from the edge of the couch, as if she had one extra pup to watch out for and was making sure the child didn’t fall.

“We’ll see about that,” Emma grumbled, staring each of them down in turn. But, when she flopped down on the armchair in the corner, trying to hold onto her righteous indignation, and Scoundrel came over to check on her, pawing at her leg until she picked him up, and then nudging his grey snout flecked with white patches into her armpit as he stretched out across her chest and promptly fell asleep, Emma was smart enough to know when she had lost the fight.

They were the family with nine dogs now - an entire seaworthy crew.

Pet Owners Purring Now For Purebred Cats

Interest in purebred cats is at an all-time high. Historically, people were drawn to purebred cats exclusively for their appearances, from the apartment faced, fluffy and noble Pekingese puppy look of Persians to the wildcat look of American short hair cats. Breeders paid less attention to temperament than to aesthetics.

Initially cat breeders didn’t need to worry about attitude, as puppy breeders who bred for skills in the area as pointers or retrievers, as herding dogs and/or as guards of property and family. After all, any cat that may sit on a lap and catch an occasional mouse was thought to have a suitable mood – but ’s all changed.

Cat lovers are paying attention to perpetuating their strain ’s own individual character. Really, now, the character of a sassy Abyssinian is completely different than the yummy Scottish fold.

“”The look of a cat will be what initially brings a perspective purchaser, but individuals will need to make a determination based on a breed’s temperament,”” adds Darrell Newkirk, of Fairview Heights, Ill., former president of the American Cat Fanciers’ Association and also an all-breed CFA estimate for three years.

That choice isn’t an easy one to make. Relinquishment studies affirm that thousands using purebred dogs finally drop their pooches at shelters since they’ve chosen the incorrect breed to match their own lifestyles, which makes their decision to purchase based on impulse, the puppy ’s faulty or looks study. “”Obviously, we don’t need this happening in the cat world,”” says Joan Miller, of Napa Valley, Calif., an all-breed Cat Fancier’s Association (CFA) Judge for 17 years, representing the largest registry of purebred cats. “”The problem is learning about each breed’s individual traits – that there aren’t entire books or articles on the subject, since there are for dog breeds,”” she states.

So, with assistance from Newkirk and Miller, here’s the truth about the five hottest Cat Fanciers Association cat breeds (beginning with the very popular cat breed):

1) Persian:“”in the event that you don’t enjoy the grooming, Persians aren’t for you,”” states Newkirk. “”They need a good deal of grooming, and also enjoy being fussed over. ””

Recognized in roughly 50 colours and patterns, these glamour cats are about their legendary flowing coats – and they seem to know it. The exact source of this breed is problematic, however, hieroglyphic references date to 1684 B.C.

“”Persians are sweet, gentle, placid and adaptable,”” adds Miller. “”They’re not harmful and they don’t appear to have a lot of energy. ”” These cats readily become couch potatoes. While this breed is good when raised with children, young children should be warned not to pull their hair.

2) Maine coon cat:The Mark McGuire of cats, a large and powerful feline. One of those few all-American cat strains, this cat was initially bred for purpose (mouse catching in barns) rather than form. However, all of the while, Maine coons developed a close relationship with their individuals, atypical of barn cats. In fact, it might be best described that Maine coons insisted on being domesticated. To this day, they adore their people.

“”They’re truly the serene gentle giants of the cat world,”” states Newkirk. “”And they’re exceedingly patient, even relishing the business of kids. ”” With strangers, Maine coons may be timid.

3) Siamese:Listed below ’s a strain that’s loving and reliant on people, some endure separation anxiety. “”They love to trace their people from room to room,”” explains Newkirk. “”If you believe this is too clingy, a Siamese might not be for you. You can decrease the odds of separation stress by getting a second Siamese. ””

Should you don’t need to hear your cat’s view, forget about the Siamese. This breed will tell you exactly what he’s believing. The diverse intonations of Siamese meows are recorded, and some even assert Siamese in a variety of areas of the country have different dialects.

Originally introduced by the royal family of Siam (now Thailand), these color pointed cats with the wedge-shaped heads may seem elegant – but they adore their playtime.

4) Abyssinian:“”All these are busy cats having an active head,”” states Miller. “”This isn’t a breed content to sit at the corner and watch the world go by. They’ll toss off items a dresser simply to watch them drop, or else they ’ll ditch a garbage pail, discovering great joy in watching the materials fall out. ””

The combination of the cute, climbing capability and love of food makes Abbys one of the best counter surfers. “”This doesn’t mean that they could ’t be educated to stay away from the counters,”” states Miller. “”You teach them where they could climb, or they’ll be scampering up your drapes. ”” Cat trees or other proper places to grow are a necessity.

When raised with dogs, any cat can enjoy canine companionship, but Abyssinians really prefer roughhousing with dogs considerably larger than themselves to playing more laid-back felines.

The Egyptians once worshiped these cats that are slick with the gold lion coat, even though you can’t help but believe how they stood still long enough to be idolized. Miller states, “”Dealing with one Abyssinian is kind of fun, having two can be a chore, three is a true challenge, and four is downright impossible. ””

5) Exotic:This really is a lazy man’s Persian. Produced from the Persians and shorthaired breeds, Exotics are essentially Persians with short hair. While some cleaning is necessary, there’s nowhere near the painstaking attempt called in Persian coat care.

“”This elastic cat has a character strikingly similar to Persians, although many are a touch more energetic,”” says Newkirk. “”Exotics – who are like around, soft and fluffy Teddy Bear cats – are sweet, gentle and good to travel with. ””

Here are comments on lesser-known pure bred cats:British short hair:Very dignified, even proper, but what would you expect any less from a British cat? This is the oldest of English breeds, but it wasn’t regarded as a CFA show cat until 1980. The breed’s supporters tout the intellect of the British short hair, and proudly refer to examples of the strain that function in TV commercials.

Cornish Rex:Their nice, curly coat is just like a poodle’s, also there’s no shedding. While many people with allergies can tolerate a Cornish (or for that matter a Devon rex), a few cannot. However, this isn’t this busy breed’s only feature. “”These cats adore their people, and they have a wonderful sense of humor,”” says Newkirk. “”I’m convinced they do things to make us laugh. When well socialized, Cornish rex are especially adaptable and social; they like kids and other pets. ””

Korat:Even infrequent in Thailand, their country of origin, this small cat with the big eyes is completely devoted to its own people. “”We’re speaking about devotion equivalent to any dog,”” says Miller. Korats ought to be exposed to loud sounds and buzzing action in the young age, or they might become fearful. However, tons of screaming kids can be a lot for a Korat to take care of.

Turkish Angora:Cleaning must keep their lovely silky coat. “”They’re alert, playful, and constant companions to their people. ”” Miller says. They may be shy around people they don’t understand.

A Litter More Than They Bargained For

{Oh my goodness, this event has just been a joy, and I have loved every entry I’ve gotten a chance to read so far. I’m excited to add mine to the list, and hope that you all will enjoy. Thanks so much to all the lovely ladies on the @cspupstravaganza Discord chat, particularly @shireness-says @profdanglaisstuff @snidgetsafan @kmomof4 and @darkcolinodonorgasm, for all of the amazing dog name suggestions - I put a fair few of them to use here! ;) Also, @profdanglaisstuff thank you bringing us such a fun event!!}

“A Litter More Than They Bargained For”

The thick, scruffy grey fur covering the animal’s lanky form did indeed resemble a wolf to some degree, and Killian chuckled goodnaturedly at the easy moniker their daughter had seemingly bestowed. “Well, it would seem our little love has already christened her, Swan,” he commented lightly.

Ruby, or perhaps the irrepressible brunette’s inner wild animal, seemed to find their new addition, and the rather obvious name Hope had latched onto, especially entertaining. Due to Wolfie’s size, the Jones clan now ate outside at the patio tables when they stopped for breakfast on the way to drop Hope off at Ashley Hermann’s Pumpkin Seeds Daycare, and before Henry took off for class and they headed on for the station. Her mother’s best friend didn’t even try to hide the fact that she saved back either bacon, sausage, or ham especially for Emma’s pet each day, laughing when after about a week Wolfie came to her the moment she excited the diner’s front entrance, before she could even reach their table, and began nosing at her pockets for the expected bounty.

Crossing her arms, Granny watched a variety of reactions cross the four faces before her. Henry looked awed and curious, while Hope practically bounced on Killian’s knee asking, “Puppy? Puppy! We having a puppy?” Killian’s brows rose in surprise, and Emma was already shaking her head in disgruntled exasperation. “Really?” she sputtered, narrowly eying the diner owner as if it might be some sort of elaborate joke being played at her expense.

Then, she plunked her head down to rest on her arms where they were crossed on the table, sighing as her daughter contiuned to chortle in delight and Henry and Hook laughed heartily, in spite of their manful efforts to hold back for her sake. “Why am I even surprised?” Emma muttered. “Of course, she is.”

***

Emma rolled her eyes and shook her head at his mannered playfulness with Hope, though her heart warmed inside her as well, loving that their little girl had never known anything but a devoted, adoring, present father, who might have to be pulled back from spoiling Hope at times, but would never let her down or abandon her. The two of them could melt her every defense, just as Henry had always done, even if it did sometimes leave her trying to be the voice of reason, Emma didn’t truly mind.

Her son then grew thoughtful for a moment, as if mulling something over, then looked up when he asked excitedly. “What if we did pick nautical names for them all? Like Jack and Jib and Scurvy?” He was grinning from ear-to-ear now, an expression Killian quickly mirrored, as his Author’s love of wordplay awakened.

“Aye, lad, those are great! And perhaps Scoundrel and Buccaneer as well?”

“Hey, hey, guys,” Emma broke in, trying to stop their now steaming train before they got any more carried away. “Let’s not get too into naming them. The families who adopt them may not be looking for pirate dogs.”

But her husband and son were already on a roll, adding Barrie in a nod to the Englishman who had created Killian’s literary counterpart and Doubloon to the list of potential puppy monikers, and not paying her words the slightest bit of attention.

***

With a sigh, she turned away from the sidewalk where old lady Hubbard was walking away. Still cradling Cutlass and Matey to her chest, one in each arm, Emma crossed the porch to sink onto the porch swing with a dejected air. She bent to press a soft kiss into each of their soft, fuzzy foreheads, murmuring what good babies they were and that it wasn’t their fault. Intellectually, Emma knew it was rather ridiculous to be trying to comfort two puppies who were now playfully rolling and tumbling in her lap, not the least bit concerned at the interview’s outcome. They really had been particularly good as their potential new owner had arrived to meet them; sitting calmly without barking or jumping up, sweetly licking the elderly woman’s fingers affectionately when she offered them, and looking even more adorable than usual with their coats freshly bathed and brushed, so black and silky that their fur nearly shone. All their neighbor had seemed able to focus on though was that they might get under her feet and cause her to fall. When Emma had spoken to her before, the older lady had seemed so anxious for some company now that the last of her many children had left the house, but once she had arrived to see the puppies, all she kept saying was, “I’m all alone out there. If I fell, I might lie for days, unable to get up, and no one would know.”

Emma shrugged her shoulders and ruffled the pups’ fur once again, annoyed, but not sure what to make of the situation. Standing, she was about to take the two little rascals back inside when Killian arrived home for the evening.

“They’re both still here?” he asked curiously, one eyebrow arched in question.

“Well,” Snow offered hesitantly, “I’m sorry it fell through, Sweetie, but you know Mrs. Hubbard isn’t all that steady on her feet these days…”

“Why?” Emma sputtered.

They were the family with nine dogs now - an entire seaworthy crew.

25+ facts after which you change your mind about fighting dog breeds

So, someone once came up with a special category of dogs and called them “fighting dogs”, implying that all breeds that are on this list are born killers, which by definition cannot be affectionate pets. But are pit bulls, rottweilers, Dobermans, and other dogs that are quite formidable so dangerous? You will find the answers in the article. 1. Pit bulls - dogs that feel pain

© CaseyBarkson / reddit There is a common misconception that pit bulls do not feel pain. In fact, the pain of pit bulls is similar to human ones, just for these dogs the task is in the first place. As an athlete who tries not to notice even the most severe discomfort and reaches the finish line, the pit bull is trying with all his might to fulfill the owner's team. Because of this myth, parents allow children to sloppily treat a pet or use harsh training methods themselves, which can cause dog aggression. Also, many people believe that the jaws of the pit bull have a special “locking mechanism” that does not give prey a chance to break out. However, this is not so, the structure of the teeth of the pit bull is the same as that of other dogs. Perhaps this myth appeared due to the peculiarity of the bite that the pit bulls got from their ancestors - terriers: when capturing an object, the dog begins to shake its head in different directions and does not release its prey. Pit bulls do not attack without warning, and if the owner raised his pet correctly - did not offend or poison other animals - the dog will not cause harm. Pit bulls are not aggressive towards humans and are known for their love of children.

© Aveerdeado / reddit Most of the history of pit bulls was considered non-aggressive and even in the early 1900s were the most popular pets, because they were famous for their friendliness. And for this reason, pit bulls are bad guards. They tend to see the thief as a new friend, not as a danger. Pit bulls do a great job with the role of dog therapists. And this breed is also able to quickly respond to various problems with human health, such as lowering blood sugar or oxygen levels, impending cramps. They may even remind you of taking medication.

Most of the history of pit bulls was considered non-aggressive and even in the early 1900s were the most popular pets, because they were famous for their friendliness. And for this reason, pit bulls are bad guards. They tend to see the thief as a new friend, not as a danger. Pit bulls were raised to attack animals, but, despite this, they can share the territory with others subject to socialization from an early age. All dogs of working breeds have this peculiarity - there is no escape from instincts. For example, the hounds will certainly chase the hare, the fox terriers will not be able to pass by the holes, and the beagle will not be stopped at the sight of prey. But no one says that these dogs are dangerous to humans, so why do they think differently about pit bulls? Pit bulls do not attack more often than other dogs. Moreover, pit bulls successfully pass the American temperament test, which assesses friendliness. 87.4% - this result is better than that of the popular Australian Shepherd, Golden Retriever and Spaniel. And for bull terriers, this figure is even higher - 91.6%. If we talk about the bull terrier, then experts characterize this breed as "a three-year-old child in a dog costume." Bull terriers are extremely friendly, but they need daily activity to prevent behavior problems caused by boredom.

© Barcroft Media / Contributor / Getty Images If the dog has previously participated in battles, this does not mean that the animal should not be given a second chance for a happy life. Dogs that have been abused, with proper rehabilitation, can become loyal friends. Of course, it is important to know the dog’s past and assess the state of the animal’s psyche (the assessment of the psyche can only be carried out by a competent specialist) if you decide to take it from the shelter and ensure proper rehabilitation in the same way under the supervision of specialists. Pit bull is not a breed of dog, this category includes American pit bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers, American bulldogs, as well as various mixtures of these breeds. But usually with the word “pit bull” people represent the American pit bull terrier. Rottweilers - the most patient four-legged friends

© Fishmike52 / reddit Rottweilers are extremely sociable, and they should not be kept in the courtyard, because they like to watch loved ones, follow the owner and be near the family. Once at a distance, the pet becomes depressed or feels anxious, which can lead to destructive behavior. Rottweiler is an ideal shepherd who is distinguished by courage. When working with cattle, the Rottweiler seeks out the dominant animal and challenges it. Having proved his superiority, the dog calms down and returns to normal work. Other herding breeds ignore stubborn animals, and the Rottweiler is able to force anyone to follow his orders.

© thrusterbuster00 / reddit The Rottweiler shows incredible devotion and love for the family, has enviable patience and knows how to be unobtrusive. It gets along well with other animals, but, like pit bulls, socialization is required from an early age. Rottweiler barks only when necessary. This breed of dog can make interesting sounds, such as a growl that resembles a purr. 3. Doberman - an obedient pet

Dobermans were bred for protection and protection, so the dog had to be big, bold and inspire fear in the enemy with one look. However, Doberman’s aggression was mitigated by modern breeders, and today these dogs have a good-natured character, as well as high intelligence and excellent learning. According to experts, Dobermans are much less aggressive towards people than many other breeds that do not have a bad reputation (cocker spaniel, Dalmatian, Great Dane).

© DannotheDoggo / reddit Some people believe that the Doberman needs to be angry, and only then will he begin to protect the family. This is not true. The dog "by default" will protect those who are dear to her, and it is impossible to strengthen this quality. And if the dog is intentionally angry, then the careless trainer will need protection. Dogs of this breed can endure physical punishment to a certain extent and will defend themselves when patience is over. Another myth sounds like this: the dog needs to be isolated from strangers so that it can protect the family. If the Doberman is not socialized, then he will not be able to become a defender, but only frightened in case of danger. The pet should see and communicate with other people, and it is better to let him accompany you wherever there is the opportunity to be with dogs. 4. Boxers - great babysitting

© Chulipongo / reddit The description of the breed from 1938 reads as follows: “The character of the boxer is of great importance and requires the closest attention. Since ancient times, it has been known for its immense love and loyalty to both its master and the whole family. He will not cause harm to his own, but he may be distrustful of strangers, active and friendly in the game, but bold and decisive when the situation requires it. His mind, kindness and modesty make him an ideal family dog and a fun companion. You should not expect a trick from a boxer, even when he becomes old. ” There’s no better description. Boxers need three years to grow up psychologically, so many people say that these dogs are eternal puppies. But, despite the fact that these large dogs remain puppies in the shower for a long time, this does not affect their excellent learning ability.

© flowbotronic / reddit Boxers are a popular breed of dog for families with children, because they are energetic, patient with children and are always ready to defend them. This dog is one big heart in love with its owners. The only feature that you always need to remember: boxers have the habit of jumping on people with joy and they can easily knock down. The boxer is noisy and will bark every time he feels a stranger, or from boredom. Every day, this dog needs from one to two hours of intense activity: walking in the park, running, jumping, following commands. Also, do not leave the dog alone for too long, otherwise it will begin to entertain itself with barking, and your neighbors will definitely not like it. Many of these dogs snore loudly and make funny sounds when they want to ask the owner for something. 5. Mastiff - huge and kind

© sweetestone2 / reddit Mastiffs, despite their impressive size, are known as loving and gentle dogs. But we must not forget that this is a working breed, and if you do not have time to walk this huge animal several times a day, then it will soon destroy your home. Boredom is unbearable for these dogs, so every day they need exercise, socialization, training and the ability to run.

Tibetan mastiffs have a peculiarity: for hundreds of years of selection, these dogs were valued as night guards, holding back potential predators and intruders with their barking throughout the night. Therefore, leaving the Tibetan mastiff on the street all night with neighbors nearby is not recommended. English mastiffs require care and attention from the owners. These dogs are extremely emotional, and their feelings are easy to hurt. For example, if you yell at a mastiff, he will be very upset. And certainly you should not use brute force during training. Conclusion: making a dog a soft pet or “fighting” is a person’s decision Any dog participating in battles can be called a “fighting dog,” but a separate category of such breeds does not exist. Cruelty can make any living creature evil, only a bad reputation and a negative characteristic are stereotypes that firmly settle in people's minds. But the return trip is much more difficult, and it will take a lot of time to look with different eyes at those who are used to consider dangerous. Any beast cornered will show aggression, including dogs. The pet will not do anything just like that, its actions are always preceded by reasons: lack of education, training or rough treatment. The responsibility for the pet lies with the owner, who must take care not only of the leash and muzzle, but also of the emotional state of the animal. And what kind of pet lives with you and what stereotypes about him have you encountered? Read the full article

A Puppy Coda: The Last Bit of the Feline Rebels

Am I writing what I should? Of course not. This was threatening to eat my brain if I didn’t get it down.

So, this one prompted a few questions about the ending. Clarifications were desired. I knew in my head what-all had happened, of course. It just didn’t quite fit in the story as a whole, and would have made the ending a bit clunky. But I think it works as a companion piece. So here’s what was happening before and around that last bit with the puppies...

She materialized to the familiar sneer, and a curt, “Well, it's about time.”

“Oh, don't give me that,” Soolin snapped. “I spent two hours watching you sort through computer components on Praxis. You can spare me thirty minutes on my own business.”

Avon gave the slight nod that Soolin had learned to interpret as “all right, I won't argue the point any further.” She set her bag down on the console and moved to the co-pilot's seat.

Avon quirked an eyebrow. Soolin glared. “Problem?”

“I never believed you to be the shopping type.”

“Very funny.” Soolin flipped open the bag, and sorted through the contents. “I wasn't shopping, I was stealing back something that was mine.”

“Rather careless of you to let it be stolen.”

“I was a child at the time.” Soolin pulled out a small statue. A dog of indeterminate breed pranced, one paw raised. Topaz eyes glittered in the small, silver face. Avon's eyes grew wide.

“And I am afraid you are going to have to take it right back off the ship.”

Avon idly noted that Soolin's hand automatically dropped to her gun. “My father gave me this. I never expected to see it again, but now that I have, I'm not getting rid of it.”

“You might change your mind when you find out what it does under the right conditions. Which you have just unwittingly created.”

“What do you mean?”

Avon noted the slight glow starting to leak out of the dog's eyes. Mentally, he shrugged. What the hell, there was no one else here. “Very well. Shall I demonstrate?” Before she could answer, he picked up the statue and tapped it on the console.

There was a flash of white. Soolin yelped, her gun clattering to the floor as she suddenly had paws instead of hands. There was a frantic moment as the foxhound pup sorted itself out. Then she locked eyes with the doberman sitting quietly on the floor watching her.

Soolin growled. The doberman gave a short, sharp bark, then stretched up and knocked the statue off the console.

Another flash of white send Soolin tumbling to the deck. She sat up slowly, carefully checking her hands as though to reassure herself that they were actually there.

“Satisfied?” Avon was still sitting on the deck, holding the statue out. She snatched it back.

“It never did that before.”

“Well now, it's never been teleported before, has it?”

“You mean the teleport did that?”

“It seems to be a peculiarity of the material it's made from. I've encountered the effect twice before.”

“How did that even work? I just blinked, and I was a dog! That isn't possible, is it?”

“As it happened, it obviously is possible. As to the how, I really have very little idea. The effect does not leave a person in a state for conductive research. All you can really do is dispose of the thing and avoid anything made of Oros metal in future.”

Soolin clutched the statue closer. “I don't care. I'm not giving it up. It's the only thing I have to remember my father by.”

“We're taking it back. You can keep an eye on it until you're sure it won't do that again, but then it's mine again.”

Avon smiled. “I suppose if I refuse, you'll shoot me?”

“Would you care to test me on it?”

“No. Agreed. One other thing; do not show it to the others. They do not have fond memories of the experience.”

There was very little fanfare to the affair. Avon had Orac analyze the statue for a week. The charge from the teleport had faded quickly. The computer was fascinated, and theorized a difference between the teleport systems of the Liberator and the Scorpio. It was very put out when Avon declined further research into it. Soolin took her childhood toy back, and it was forgotten about.

***

“Come on, Avon! Don't die on me now!” Vila bullied, pleaded, dragged, and slapped. Whatever it took to keep the dazed man moving. Vila couldn't hear or see the pursuit, but he knew it was there. The Federation had gone to a lot of trouble to keep the two rebels alive to be questioned; they weren't going to let them go now.

Why are you still trying? His treacherous brain asked. He wouldn't do this for you, and you know it. It's over. Let him go. You might outlive him by another ten minutes if you do.

Vila told himself to shut up already. He pushed Avon forward. “Move, damn you! I didn't drag myself back from the brink of death and break you out just to have you give up on me!”

“Halt!”

Vila stopped, still clinging to Avon. They got in front of us. Damn it all. I'm sorry, Avon.

Avon reached up and squeezed his hand. It was the only real sign of life from him. His eyes were still cold and dead, showing nothing of the man behind them.

“Come on, hands in the air. Or you're dead.”

Avon smiled terribly. Vila went cold inside. Avon would choose to die, of course. He'd been trying to die for weeks now. Vila hung on to him tightly, and closed his eyes.

There was a shout. Vila's eyes popped open just as the trooper was flung fifteen feet away. The huge man who had done it casually crushed his gun with one hand.

The trooper scrambled to his feet, staring.

“I suggest you start running, if you want to live a little longer,” the huge shadow said menacingly.

The trooper ran. Vila and Avon just stared as the shadow stepped into the light.

“We'd better get a move on. There'll be more. There always are.”

Vila found his voice. “G-gan?” He stuttered.

***

The troopers ran around outside for days. Houses were raided. Stores and taverns were overturned. Nothing came of it. Gan's safehouse was a long-forgotten bunker accessible by an office building's basement. Gan himself was overlooked. He was just the janitor, after all. A limiter-crippled Delta drudge who couldn't speak very well. He might be the right size, but he was a half-wit, unable to commit violence of any kind. His employers, in fact, had practically forgotten his existence, and never even mentioned him when a squad of angry troopers ransacked their offices.

Avon slowly recovered with both Gan and Vila to minister to him. The two fugitives remained in the bunker, essentially buried from view. And eventually, the Federation gave up. It was assumed they'd gotten off-planet somehow.

They couldn't stop staring at Gan. The big man took it in stride, but couldn't really explain how he was still alive.

The problem was left until Avon was better, and the heat was off enough for them to make plans again. None of them were sure what to do now, and Vila had been worrying the puzzle over in his head for weeks.

“Blake said you were dead. We wouldn't have left you behind otherwise. He couldn't have lied to us, could he? I mean, he was really upset about it! He even left the ship for awhile. How are you not dead?”

Gan sighed. “I just don't know, Vila. Blake was obviously wrong. I woke up a year after we raided Control, and have just worked on keeping my head down. Not very easy for a man of my height,” he joked.

Vila smiled, but kept worrying at it. “You said you woke up. Where were you? In a hospital?”

“No. I'm not sure where I was, to be honest. It was very hot and dark. I had to climb out of wherever it was, I remember that. Startled a lot of people. Fortunately, there weren't any troopers around.

“So it wasn't a prison.” Vila thought.

“He was not a prisoner,” Avon said. Vila's eyes snapped up and locked with the other man's. Avon was tired, and still looked like death warmed over, but his eyes were alive again, and fully aware for the first time in...Vila didn't care to think about how long it had been.

“Gan was one of Blake's. If the Federation knew he was alive, they would have kept him well-guarded. Moreover, we would have heard about it.” He looked between the two men. “Blake could very easily have been wrong. He hardly had time or equipment to run a full medical scan. It is very possible that he left Gan alive down there, thinking him dead, or as good as. But, it is absolutely impossible that Servalan and Travis would know Gan was alive, and not only never use him as bait, but never even taunt us with it. Even if he had escaped them, and Servalan decided to keep it quiet for her own reasons, Travis had no reason at all to cooperate. Servalan cut him loose because of Control. He betrayed humanity itself at Star One. He wouldn't have missed an opportunity to rub salt in Blake's wounds.” Avon's eyes locked on Gan. “And they would have checked the body very carefully,” he added softly. “They would have left nothing to chance.”

“But he's here! It's him! It isn't a trick!” Vila looked at Gan, his eyes pleading. “It's not, is it? Tell me now if it is, I can't take the strain!”

“Vila, I'm real! I'm not going to betray you. I wouldn't!”

“You would have no choice in the matter, and you know it,” Avon said. Then he sighed. “However, there is absolutely no reason or purpose to spring such a trap now. They've won. Blake is dead. Everyone else is dead. We were a fluke, and they had us. We had nothing left to tell them. They'd already signed the execution orders. So either this is some mind game, or it is real. And I do not believe I am dreaming right now.”

“I know I'm not!” Vila said. “But how?”

Avon looked back to Gan. “You regained consciousness after a year, and climbed out of what sounds like a literal hell. Was there anything else?

“My perceptions were really off at first. In fact, I could have sworn I was a cat. But when I'd gotten away and things settled down, I was obviously me. And I had to think about getting off Earth after that. I never really sat down and thought my escape over until now.”

“You are definitely Gan, then,” Avon cracked. He suddenly looked thoughtful. “A cat. You were a cat, and you clawed your way out of a chute.”

“Yes, how did you know there was a chute?”

“Logical deduction.” Avon turned to Vila. Tarrant's little mishap with the statue...the timing is about right, wouldn't you say?”

Vila's jaw dropped. “You mean, when it got you, even though you were nowhere near it...?”

“It must have got them all. Including the dead. Orac once theorized that we weren't actually transformed as such, just that our consciousnesses were swapped to new bodies temporarily. It remembered you, somehow,” he told Gan. “And it swapped you back like it remembered you were, not as you actually were.”

“Do you mean that kitten statue? You found it again?”

“Tarrant found a new one,” Vila explained. “Full-grown cats that time.” His eyes grew wide. “Wait a minute. If it can do that...Avon, if we found another one, we could bring them all back!” Then his face fell a little. “Well, except Soolin. Damn it, I liked Soolin...”

“We can bring her back too.” Vila gaped. “There was a third statue I never told you about. Soolin had it. And I know where we can find it now.” He stood up, wobbling slightly. Vila instantly jumped to his side to steady him.

“Gan. We'll need a ship. One that can travel long distances at speed.”

“That's a tall order. But I'll see what I can do.”

“Avon, where are we going?” Vila asked.

“First, to Xenon. Then...” His eyes glazed over as he thought. “We'll need some equipment. And a second ship. We can't just leave her alone...I wish I knew where Jenna was. If her body's in space, this will...” Avon shook his head, and glared at them. “We'll do what we can. And to hell with the consequences.”

***

It was a long, long time later when the black-cloaked man appeared on Gauda Prime. He spent a lot of time poking around the ruins of the old rebel base. Nobody bothered him, though. There was nothing left in that place to steal, after all, and what did anyone care what some idiot did with himself there?

Old Garrus took some tea out to him occasionally. The man had a soft spot for rebels, and he figured this was some pilgrim. They showed up now and then. The authorities no longer cared. The rebellion was dead and buried, and bigger things occupied their attention now.

The man, who gave his name as Chevron, was actually camped out on the mass grave where most of the rebels had ended up. Garuss had pointed this out gently, and won a ten-credit bet with Del Cameron when Chevron had simply nodded and said he knew. (Cameron had bet the man would leap out of his skin with fright if he realized.)

Chevron wouldn't talk about what he was doing, and Garrus didn't pry. He noticed the shovels, though, and wondered. Rumor had said that Blake had been one of the rebels dumped in that grave, though people scoffed at that one. Blake had been dead for years before that, after all.

Maybe Chevron thought otherwise, and wanted to prove it one way or another. A somewhat mad project, but then, Chevron was obviously not all that sane.

It had taken Avon weeks. But he had the time to kill. Terminal was a long, long way away, after all. There wasn't even the guarantee that the effect would reach this far, but no matter. If it didn't happen by a certain point, he would simply take the bodies with him to the rendezvous.

Evening was falling when he felt the vibration. Or thought he felt it. It was near to the time they'd agreed to try for, but it could just be wishful thinking...

And then with a flash of white, he was on all fours. He pricked his ears up, on alert. His tail wagged slightly, in spite of his efforts to stop it.

There were whines. Paws scrabbled on dirt as puppies clumsily managed the dirt incline.

He recognized the foxhound, of course. The whippet and the terrier were knew, but he knew them anyway. They were unmistakable.

And so was the German shepherd puppy that stalked out, shaking dirt out of his fur. Avon whined, his eyes only on it.

The pup wuffed once, and slowly walked over to the doberman. Avon whined again, unable to stop that or the tail that wagged frantically behind him.

The shepherd puppy touched noses with him, and whined. It's tail was starting to wag. A tongue suddenly licked Avon's face, and the whining turned to happy yips. Avon's tail wagged even harder.

The clearing was suddenly full of barking, dancing puppies. The terrier nipped at everyone, the foxhound sniffed, and the whippet simply ran around in circles.

Five ears pricked up as the whine approached again. White filled their vision.

There would have to be explanations, of course. And recriminations. Forgiving was not as easy for humans as it was for dogs. But whatever the outcome was, Avon thought he could manage it.

#Blake's 7 #Blake's kittens #Okay it's Blake's puppies this time #fanfic #And now for lunch and sorting through the big-ass box of B7 fanzines. Zine writing later tonight #Hopefully

A Litter More Than They Bargained For

{Oh my goodness, this event has just been a joy, and I have loved every entry I’ve gotten a chance to read so far. I��m excited to add mine to the list, and hope that you all will enjoy. Thanks so much to all the lovely ladies on the @cspupstravaganza Discord chat, particularly @shireness-says @profdanglaisstuff @snidgetsafan @kmomof4 and @darkcolinodonorgasm, for all of the amazing dog name suggestions - I put a fair few of them to use here! ;) Also, @profdanglaisstuff thank you bringing us such a fun event!!}

“A Litter More Than They Bargained For”

by: @snowbellewells

Ruby, or perhaps the irrepressible brunette’s inner wild animal, seemed to find their new addition, and the rather obvious name Hope had latched onto, especially entertaining. Due to Wolfie’s size, the Jones clan now ate outside at the patio tables when they stopped for breakfast on the way to drop Hope off at Ashley Hermann’s Pumpkin Seeds Daycare, and before Henry took off for class and they headed on for the station. Her mother’s best friend didn’t even try to hide the fact that she saved back either bacon, sausage, or ham especially for Emma’s pet each day, laughing when after about a week Wolfie came to her the moment she excited the diner’s front entrance, before she could even reach their table, and began nosing at her pockets for the expected bounty.

***

Emma rolled her eyes and shook her head at his mannered playfulness with Hope, though her heart warmed inside her as well, loving that their little girl had never known anything but a devoted, adoring, present father, who might have to be pulled back from spoiling Hope at times, but would never let her down or abandon her. The two of them could melt her every defense, just as Henry had always done, even if it did sometimes leave her trying to be the voice of reason, Emma didn’t truly mind.

“Aye, lad, those are great! And perhaps Scoundrel and Buccaneer as well?”

***

With a sigh, she turned away from the sidewalk where old lady Hubbard was walking away. Still cradling Cutlass and Matey to her chest, one in each arm, Emma crossed the porch to sink onto the porch swing with a dejected air. She bent to press a soft kiss into each of their soft, fuzzy foreheads, murmuring what good babies they were and that it wasn’t their fault. Intellectually, Emma knew it was rather ridiculous to be trying to comfort two puppies who were now playfully rolling and tumbling in her lap, not the least bit concerned at the interview’s outcome. They really had been particularly good as their potential new owner had arrived to meet them; sitting calmly without barking or jumping up, sweetly licking the elderly woman’s fingers affectionately when she offered them, and looking even more adorable than usual with their coats freshly bathed and brushed, so black and silky that their fur nearly shone. All their neighbor had seemed able to focus on though was that they might get under her feet and cause her to fall. When Emma had spoken to her before, the older lady had seemed so anxious for some company now that the last of her many children had left the house, but once she had arrived to see the puppies, all she kept saying was, “I’m all alone out there. If I fell, I might lie for days, unable to get up, and no one would know.”

“They’re both still here?” he asked curiously, one eyebrow arched in question.

“Well,” Snow offered hesitantly, “I’m sorry it fell through, Sweetie, but you know Mrs. Hubbard isn’t all that steady on her feet these days…”

“Why?” Emma sputtered.

They were the family with nine dogs now - an entire seaworthy crew.

How Kidney and Liver Failures Are Treated In Dogs

Do you know the signs and symptoms of kidney and liver failure in dogs?

Kidney and liver failure in dogs are both extremely common. Either can be fatal to your canine companion if left untreated.

The liver is a filter for your pup’s digestive system. It metabolizes proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It stores the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your dog needs for a healthy body.

The kidneys filter waste for your dog’s bloodstream. For top health, both organs must be working well.

If you’re able to communicate with your pet, he or she will be able to tell you when their system isn’t functioning at its peak.

via GIPHY

It’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with the kinds of conditions that can cause kidney and liver failure, as well as the signs, symptoms and treatments, because it can sneak up on you and your pet.

Knowing what to watch for can save your dog’s life…

What causes liver disease?

Liver disease can result from several different conditions that vary in severity:

Viral or bacterial infection

Cancer of the liver (hepatocellular carcinoma)

Cysts or gallstones, which can obstruct the bile duct

Endocrine diseases including diabetes, Cushing’s Disease, or hyperthyroidism

Trauma to the liver due to an accident or heatstroke

Ingestion of a toxic substance

(Source: ASPCA)

Some breeds are more prone to liver problems, such as Yorkshire Terriers, German Shepherds, and some Retrievers. Sadly, poisoning is the most common cause of acute liver failure.

You’ll get some indication that your dog is suffering from liver failure, and some will be more subtle than others.

Watch closely for:

Changes in personality

Loss of appetite

Excessive thirst and/or peeing

Vomiting

Diarrhea

A distended abdomen

Seizures

Your dog might have the odd “down day” or eat something that upsets their stomach, but it’s imperative that you consult a veterinarian if any of these symptoms persist.

If your dog has spent the day playing in a public space, or has been exploring “out of bounds” in your garage or garden shed and begins vomiting or has diarrhea, contact a vet immediately to rule out poisoning.

What causes kidney disease?

There are two types of kidney disease: chronic and acute.

Signs of acute failure will be immediate and very sudden. However, unlike liver failure, the signs of chronic kidney failure won’t be very obvious. It develops over years and is an irreversible condition – but is manageable.

Keep a close eye out for:

A decrease in urination

Lethargy

Increased thirst

Weakness

Weight loss

Acute kidney failure will appear with symptoms such as:

Vomiting

Diarrhea

Coma

Your pet might be trying to tell you that they’re in distress…be sure to listen carefully to the messages they’re sending you. And never attempt to diagnose a problem yourself. Consult a veterinarian as soon as you see early signs of trouble.

Of course, it will be easy to tell if Rover is feeling “off” if you spend lots of time walking, playing, and talking with him.

How do vets treat kidney and liver disease?

Your vet will conduct blood tests and an ultrasound or x-ray to assess the extent of the problem – and establish whether it originates with the liver or is a sign of another issue like cancer.

Expect fluid therapies, antibiotics, or, in extreme cases, surgery to remove cysts, gallstones or cancerous parts of the liver. They may also recommend dialysis and changes in their meal plan, supplements and fluid intake.

The more quickly you consult with a vet, the more quickly your dog will be on the road to recovery.

Like all health concerns, keep up-to-date on signs, symptoms and treatments for kidney and liver failure in dogs. Nobody wants to say good-bye to their pets before it’s their time to go.

Your pets are counting on you for care… be sure you’re doing everything you can to show them your love by keeping them as healthy as can be.

Can kidney and liver disease in dogs be cured?

Sadly, allopathic “Western” medicine vets say that chronic liver and kidney disease can’t be cured, but it can be slowed down and even reversed in some cases.

Holistic vets and healers will take a different approach through homeopathy, diet, supplements, Kangen miracle water, and various energy therapies like light therapy, oxygen therapy, BodyTalk Healing, and soul repair.

Both say that kidney and liver failure in dogs can be treated – though maybe not necessarily cured – if caught in the very early stages.

Your vet will conduct blood tests and an ultrasound or x-ray to assess the extent of the problem – and establish whether it originates with the liver or is a sign of another issue like cancer.

Expect fluid therapies, antibiotics, or, in extreme cases, surgery to remove cysts, gallstones or cancerous parts of the liver or kidney.

These treatments will be distressing for your furry friend. Be sure that you’re able to communicate and reassure them during the process to aid in the healing.

Picking the Right Dog Breed for My Family

I’m thrilled to include one more canine to our family members in 2021! I’ve been meticulously picking the ideal pet breed for us (over analyzing, for certain).

I’m composing this to:

Show exactly how crucial it is to carefully pick any kind of canine or young puppy

Refine my option (writing helps me do so)

Document my life with canines

Selecting the appropriate pet dog type for us

In the last 3 months, I have actually spoken by email or phone with 9 different breeders, 3 sanctuaries and 1 rescue group.

I’ve completed their sets of questions, asked a number of my own concerns, evaluated the pros & & cons of each option, followed them on Instagram and emailed previous puppy purchasers.

Talking with every one has actually been a favorable experience.

After whole lots and also great deals of reasoning, I determined I desire a field-bred Labrador from an excellent breeder.

< img src ="https://www.thatmutt.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Black-Labrador.jpg"alt ="choosing the ideal canine type"class= "wp-image-43959 lazy"size=" 559 "height=" 393 "data-srcset=

“https://www.thatmutt.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Black-Labrador.jpg 650w, https://www.thatmutt.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Black-Labrador-300×211.jpg 300w”data-sizes=”(

max-width: 559px)

100vw, 559px” > I really appreciate dealing with dog breeders who love and sustain their breed

and also concentrate on: temperament health as well as the dogs’

abilities to flourish doing their work. I expect a whole lot from my canines. I press them physically as we train for path marathons. We work hard in agility. And since I reside in Montana(vs. San Diego), I plan to educate my canines for searching. I am delighted regarding every one of these training

experiences. My heart is complete when I’m dealing with my canines. I enjoy discovering along with them as well as viewing what they can do.< span id=" The_right_dog_breed_is_different_for_everyone"

> The best dog type is various for everyone

Selecting the ideal pet dog type has actually been really hard for me. I’ll just reach have many dogs in my life; I intend to select them sensibly.

To be honest, I’m concerned I’ll be burnt out with a Lab. They’re just so average and everybody has one– completely factor, they’re great canines!

On the plus side, Labs are normally calmer as well as much easier to educate than a weimaraner, my present canine. (Although “tranquil” is all loved one. What’s “tranquil” for me may be “active” for somebody else!)

Recognizing what I want in a dog

Here’s what I’m trying to find in my “best” dog. Of course there is no such point as this imaginary best pet dog.

Long distance trail running friend. 3-4 miles most days and also 10+ miles on some weekends. (when age proper)

Friendly with pets, strangers, felines and children.

Able to educate for dexterity for fun as well as light competitors.

Has an “off button” in your house while I’m working, presuming I’ve done my component to supply workout & & training

. Tranquility at breweries, patio areas and throughout travel (with training).

Sticks close when hiking & & running chain (with training).

Able to educate for searching as a leisure activity as well as perhaps quest examinations.

And … it’s not all about ME. I likewise need to ensure that I’m providing the best house for whatever type of pet I choose.

I do feel I can offer an excellent house for any of the sporting types

. So … why not an additional weimaraner? You might wonder, why is she interested in a Lab vs. a higher-energy athlete like another

weimaraner? It’s a challenging choice for me. Yet what it comes down to is I like my high-energy endurance athlete, Remy. Yet I do not necessarily need TWO extremely high-energy pets right now. (Perhaps at some point!) I absolutely have vizslas, German shorthairs and Brittanys on my brain … but perhaps for the future.

Plus, Labs are sports as well The Lab breeder I’m collaborating with types canines for searching. She tells me every one of her canines are really sports and will make great running companions, equalize to 10 miles.

These Labs are tranquil in your house however have an intense functioning drive around birds as well as weapons. They are plainly strong as well as fast in the area, very healthy and also muscle. I will certainly not have a fat Lab, I assure you that!

Still, I’m not encouraged I will be able to take a Lab on 10-mile runs. I truly hope so, yet it depends upon the canine. In any case, I’ll still have Remy for long-distance operating.

Other advantages of the Labrador dog breed

Labs are (normally) very easy to educate. I watch Labs as sports canines who do not always need continuous “busyness” like my weim.

I really feel Labs are a good type for my first actual weapon canine as well as hunting friend. I am very delighted to begin training a retriever for hunting.

My weimaraner Remy has potential to be a searching pet dog as well, and I have actually simply started to work with him via our regional NAVHDA team. I am additionally interested in training a searching pet from the actual start. It is a brand-new experience for me.

Choosing the appropriate canine type for winter Labs

have a thick coat to shield them from Montana’s long, rough winters months. The only months we did not have snow in 2019 were July and also August!

A Lab’s layer additionally protects her from the summer season heat. We live at 5,000 feet altitude, so the sun can be intense here also. For this reason, and also due to all the running I do, we are going with a yellow Lab vs. chocolate or black.

And also Labs are much from excellent!

A pure-blooded Labrador retriever can be several things … reduced power and also mild … excessively delighted over playthings or sticks.

They’re strong and often tend to jump on individuals, pull hard on the leash, go crashing after a round. My Lab mix Ace knocked me level on my back one time pursuing a sphere. He didn’t even observe he hit me! (I sobbed.)

Labs dropped a lot (like, A LOT) as well as are vulnerable to joint problems. They’re slow-moving to mature mentally as well as young laboratories are however labeled “active” by many individuals. This tag is accurate.

Some Labs are just as nuts as a vizsla or a weim.

Every dog is an individual. I discussed this HERE. Good dog breeders and genes can only do so a lot.

As pet dog proprietors, it’s up to us to do the best we can with training, socialization, exercise, locating the most effective vet. Feeding

healthy and balanced food. Making clever options on spaying & neutering. As well as of course, making the effort to choose the appropriate dog or young puppy for

our existing situation. We’re fortunate to have so many alternatives. I’m delighted for our next puppy. I can not wait to satisfy her! It will certainly probably more than a year prior to our puppy is also birthed. Good dog breeders commonly have waiting listings of a number of months and even a year. I’ll maintain you published when all is verified. Remy will certainly be so excited to have another pet around. He definitely LOVES various other canines, as well as he shared our house so well with his sister Raven back in January. While wonderful Raven was not the ideal pet for us, she assisted show me exactly how excellent Remy is with a buddy. As well as just how every one of my time invested training him(hours and also hrs)really has paid off. Believe it or not, Remy will in fact be a great good example! (Now that’s a scary idea! Haha.)I

can not wait for 2021! If you’re eager, please share concerning the choice production(or lack thereof)

when you picked your pet. Allow me understand in

the remarks! Thanks! Lindsay(and Remy) Lindsay Stordahl is the founder of

> The best dog type is various for everyone

Selecting the ideal pet dog type has actually been really hard for me. I’ll just reach have many dogs in my life; I intend to select them sensibly.

To be honest, I’m concerned I’ll be burnt out with a Lab. They’re just so average and everybody has one– completely factor, they’re great canines!

Recognizing what I want in a dog

Here’s what I’m trying to find in my “best” dog. Of course there is no such point as this imaginary best pet dog.

Long distance trail running friend. 3-4 miles most days and also 10+ miles on some weekends. (when age proper)

Friendly with pets, strangers, felines and children.

Able to educate for dexterity for fun as well as light competitors.

Has an “off button” in your house while I’m working, presuming I’ve done my component to supply workout & & training

. Tranquility at breweries, patio areas and throughout travel (with training).

Sticks close when hiking & & running chain (with training).

Able to educate for searching as a leisure activity as well as perhaps quest examinations.

And … it’s not all about ME. I likewise need to ensure that I’m providing the best house for whatever type of pet I choose.

I do feel I can offer an excellent house for any of the sporting types

. So … why not an additional weimaraner? You might wonder, why is she interested in a Lab vs. a higher-energy athlete like another

Still, I’m not encouraged I will be able to take a Lab on 10-mile runs. I truly hope so, yet it depends upon the canine. In any case, I’ll still have Remy for long-distance operating.

Other advantages of the Labrador dog breed

Labs are (normally) very easy to educate. I watch Labs as sports canines who do not always need continuous “busyness” like my weim.

I really feel Labs are a good type for my first actual weapon canine as well as hunting friend. I am very delighted to begin training a retriever for hunting.

Choosing the appropriate canine type for winter Labs

have a thick coat to shield them from Montana’s long, rough winters months. The only months we did not have snow in 2019 were July and also August!

And also Labs are much from excellent!

A pure-blooded Labrador retriever can be several things … reduced power and also mild … excessively delighted over playthings or sticks.

Some Labs are just as nuts as a vizsla or a weim.

Every dog is an individual. I discussed this HERE. Good dog breeders and genes can only do so a lot.

As pet dog proprietors, it’s up to us to do the best we can with training, socialization, exercise, locating the most effective vet. Feeding healthy and balanced food. Making clever options on spaying & neutering. As well as of course, making the effort to choose the appropriate dog or young puppy for

They also have these sweet, big, and dark eyes that just make them more adorable.

It’s no wonder that this dog breed is one of the most popular in America.

Other than their beautiful appearance, the Cocker Spaniel is a sweet and merry dog. And despite being the smallest dog in the sporting group, they are great athletes with high energy. They are easy to train and will make excellent playmates to children.

If you plan to get yourself a Cocker Spaniel, be prepared for a whole lot of grooming. Their coat is undeniably the prettiest, but it will require extra grooming sessions to maintain.

Cocker Spaniel History

Cocker Spaniels came from a long line of Spaniels, one of the oldest dog breeds who’s been around since the 14th century. And since they are from the Spaniel group, they are believed to have originated from Spain.

It was believed that for centuries, spaniels have only been classified whether their land or water spaniels. It was only in the 19th century when they started specializing breeds based on their purposes. The Cocker Spaniels, in particular, were named “cocker” because they specialized in flushing woodcocks, a game bird.

By the 1800s, these Cocker Spaniels were brought to America, and hunting enthusiasts immediately got impressed with their hunting skills. However, some American breeders also saw their potential in dog shows and decided to breed smaller versions.

For years, Cocker Spaniels were considered one breed despite the differences in size. That was until English breeders formed a Club in 1936 named English Cocker Spaniel Club of America to refer to the larger breeds. They also petitioned no to breed English Cocker Spaniels to become the American type (or the smaller).

By 1940, The Canadian and English Kennel Clubs finally registered two separate breeds, the American and English Cocker Spaniels. The American version was the one that retained the name Cocker Spaniels. By 1946, The American Kennel Club followed through.

Around this time, the Cocker Spaniel breed grew into popularity. Thanks to the Cocker named Brucie, who won the Best American Bred in Show at the Westminster Dog Show. This also encouraged a lot of breeders to continue breeding Cocker Spaniels. And now, other than being skilled hunters, Cocker Spaniels make excellent family pets too.

Cocker Spaniel Temperament

The American Kennel Club describes the Cocker Spaniel as a gentle, smart, and happy dog breed. They are known for their easy-going, lively, and affectionate personality.

With their hunter background, Cocker Spaniels would require regular exercise. However, this doesn’t need to be heavy or should only take a few minutes.

They are excellent family pets, and they are very good with children. Plus, they make excellent playmates. They are also very friendly with people and other animals, so they are not good watchdogs.

About the training, Cocker Spaniels can be stubborn, and they don’t respond well to aggressiveness or harshness. It’s best to retain patience during training and approach them with a kind and cheerful smile always. Treats will also be a great way to persuade them to listen.

Early socialization would also be needed to get the appropriate attitude of a Cocker Spaniel. Allow him to meet strangers and other animals as a puppy, so you won’t have bigger problems when he grows older. At the same time, it will prevent any aggressiveness from showing.

Cocker Spaniel Care Requirements

Nutrition: Just like any other dog, Cocker Spaniels require a well-balanced diet to keep him healthy. This diet should contain protein, carbohydrates, fats, fibers, vitamins, and minerals. Don’t also forget to include only high-quality ingredients to avoid allergies that might ruin that beautiful coat. For protein, you can get this from high-quality animal meat such as salmon, turkey, chicken, beef, or lamb. Also, don’t forget to trim off excess fats. For the fats, you can derive this from the meat, fish oils, and olive oil. Just be careful not to put too much as this can be dangerous. Fruits and vegetables, rice, and oatmeal are good sources of carbohydrates. Then add some vitamin supplements as well if your vet advises so.

Grooming: Cocker Spaniels don’t shed much. However, they require regular grooming. This isn’t just any grooming, as this should be done thoroughly to maintain that beautiful, luscious, and shiny coat. Not doing this regularly and carefully will result in mats and tangles on your Cocker Spaniel’s fur. There is also some possibility of trimming sessions if the hair grows too long. Bathing should be done thoroughly also, and make sure to rinse and re-rinse them up very well to avoid possible skin irritation. Dry carefully and thoroughly too. Ears should be cleaned, and nails should be trimmed as well. If you’re not confident in doing this, you can have an expert groomer take care of everything. Just schedule a session so your Cocker Spaniel can have his bath and trim if needed. For the combing, you can do this at home by using specialized combs. Also, be careful of combing the hair from his ears.

Exercise: As a sporting breed, the Cocker Spaniel does require regular exercise. This is to avoid gaining too much weight and also to prevent other health diseases they’re prone to. You can go out for some daily 45-60 minutes walk. If you have a fenced yard, you can also have your Cocker Spaniel run around there, or do some running or tracking activities with him. You can even play fetch with him. Even if indoors, you can create ways to have him entertained and burn off some energy. Just remember, Cocker Spaniels enjoys spending time with people, so develop activities that you can do together.

Health: The average lifespan of a Cocker Spaniel is 12 years. They are generally a healthy breed, but they are prone to some serious health diseases. Some of these are progressive retinal atrophy, cataracts, patellar luxation, and glaucoma. They can also be occasionally affected by elbow dysplasia, gastric torsion, and epilepsy. They can also suffer from some minor health issues such as hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism, allergies, liver disease, skin irritation, and heart diseases. There are some screening tests for some of these diseases, so you might want to have your Cocker Spaniel checked on those. Also, regular check-ups would be a great way to detect some problems early.

Lifespan: The life expectancy of Cocker Spaniels is 10-14 years.
