Loki thinking he deserves a treat all the time, just for existing. LMAO

A dumb drawing of my dog nephew, Loki, as both his human/Asgardian and dog self.

He DEMANDS his carrots.😡 You would do well to provide them, mortal.

Coming this weekend...

Tama! She's a very young pomsky (Pomeranian/Husky) puppy and the last of her litter waiting to find her forever home. I applied and got accepted! I meet her foster mom this weekend to take her home after passing a background check, house check, vet check, and reference check. Her foster mom was a stickler about the quality of the home she went to, Tama secretly being her favorite of the entire litter.

I was really surprised to find Tama was the last of her litter to be adopted out. So was her foster mom, who explained to me that Tama is a very rare and very special mix of genetics. Her coat is lavender, which is common in some cat breeds, but only present in Pomeranians and Pom mixes when you're talking about dogs, and her eyes are deep green, which is essentially a product of pure luck and chance, since green is also the rarest eye color for dogs. "Tama" seemed like a fitting name for her, being Japanese for "jewel". She may be a puppy, but there's something very special about her to me.

I'm so thrilled to be able to take her home with me. I grew up with Pomeranians, and love Huskies, but couldn't adopt a regular one due to their high energy lifestyles and size; Tama is the perfect meeting in the middle of being small enough for me to keep up with, while also being big enough that I won't have to worry about her outside with the large eagles and owls we have out here that prey on small breeds. She's sweet, intelligent, quiet, and inquisitive, and is the first pet I've felt a special bond with since I lost my furbaby, Sean, a couple of years ago before he could turn 11. I'm hoping to bring her up with the manners and socialization to qualify her as an ESA if her temperament fits the role. It's been very hard for me to leave the house without a little companion with me, and I'm hoping Tama and I will soon be going on adventures and making new friends together :)

After thinking about pomskies I got curious so googled breeders for funsies and YIKES. It's too bad. If anyone comes across any pomski breeders that DON'T have a dozen red flags on their website pls lmk.

This is going to be controversial, but if you're going to recommend people get a certain dog breed, you need to have experience with that breed.

And not just reading the breed description on the AKC website. You need to have handled, trained, or owned that breed. You need to know what makes that breed tick, how they act in various situations, and if they're good pets. I know a lot of people mean well when they suggest breeds that "replace" doodles. However, if you're telling people to get a Wheaten Terrier, an Australian Cobberdog, a Bedlington Terrier, a Pudelpointer, or a Lagotto Ramagnolo as the pet for the average suburban family, you're setting dogs up for failure.

Then, when that dog becomes a bite risk or is completely unsuitable for life as a pet dog (because it's a working breed or a breed with no working/show line split), it becomes my problem. Sometimes, the process ends with the supposed "ethical alternative" being euthanized because it was purchased by a home completely unprepared for it.

I don't know what the solution here is, but I really dislike this growing trend of telling average people to get working breeds.

I got a new bed and Cha Cha has claimed it as hers, she looks like a fox hiding in her den

Seeing a happy positive tiktok about letting your dog off leash because "every dog deserves to feel this feeling" after I took my partner's dog for a walk and an off leash dog twice his size charged at him while the owners laughed and I put my body between them, I'm soooooo done, where's that post about how we need to shame dog owners that act like they can do whatever they want with their dogs? They had an off leash pit bull and were laughing as if that wouldn't be so bad for them and the dog they love if things had gotten dicey!!!! If you're not gonna give a damn about other people and animals at least care about the fact that if things had gone south it would not have been my on leash pomsky under fire, you would have lost that dog!!!! By God leash your dogs and keep your cats indoors unless you leash them too, basic common fucking sense stop acting like you're getting your pets back in touch with ✨️ their natural side ✨️ by letting them harass other people and local wildlife and endanger themselves

THE BIG DOGS

The

The strike trio!!!!

RAMBLES BELOW!!!!!

Gordon.

Gord.

Whiny, pompous, and proud, what more fitting breed than a husky? All he does is lounge around all day, he refuse to share toys, and would hoard the food if he feels like it, sometimes Edward have to come over and teach him a lesson.

All of the gresley family are huskies!!!

Heni! Henry?

I love the scared big dog trope, he's the biggest dog in the house but anything and I mean ANYTHING scares him, had to wear a dog cone to prevent him scratching his scar that he got from an accident, he have the unfortunate habit of laying on places he shouldn't be, even on some other dogs....

The man (dog?) of the hour! James!

I was going to make him a german shepherd or pomsky, but After knowing that rough collie often is in criteria of fashionable dogs I knew It fits him best, his fur are a bit trimmed and is not as fluffy as other rough collies, he has won multiple competitions and is very talented, even if sometimes he can't help but show off whenever there's visitors....

[chaifootsteps]

Just wanted to tell you: my friend also has a dog named Gypsy, idk what breed she is but she coincidentally looks like a bigger version of your Gypsy, just with less crazy eyes and an emptier head. She loves tummy rubs.

All Gypsies are good Gypsies! Mine's a Pomsky; mom was a pom, dad was a husky.

[noodles-even-less-stable]

noodle all your timber bday updates are making my heart melt i hope you're all having a blast! 😭🤧

was hoping i could share my lil husky (she's a pomsky - her name is peach) i think she'd love to meet timber to be with a fellow big dog bc she definitely thinks she's a full size husky

So Timber's best friend in the world is a Pomsky names Mako (it's my partner's sisters dog) so I bet they would absolutely get along! She is absolutely beautiful, please pet her for me and please enjoy the pictures of Timber and Mako
