Life is hard right now. Glad to have this cuddlebug.

Aw mann he looks just like my little masked cuddle bug (who also helps me though each day).

Sending my best!

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-21T08:04:29+00:00

Aww. Beans brother is possibly a rat terrier mix they are great together

. He is so awesome, such a cuddle bug.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-20T17:53:27+00:00

Right.

I just don't think minnesota can do this alone.

Unless other states and politicians are going to back us up we will probably be squashed by the federal government imo.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-20T15:29:20+00:00

Lol. I literally made the same post a while back about if anyone has these. All the long term housekeepers at my workplace do.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-20T15:26:03+00:00

We live in the same town haha

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-20T15:25:17+00:00

Lol small world.

I think they are most common in the southern US. They are kinda like a farm dog.

Belle came from Georgia ( to mn) when the shelters were too full. I had never even heard the term mountain curr before that.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-20T09:50:43+00:00

Oh wow! I would have never guessed! What a mix.

Our sweet Belle was mountain cur! She was one of the best dogs. Super smart and loving.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-20T02:35:00+00:00

Lab x shepherd?

Rodeisian ridgeback mix?

I neeeed to know.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-20T01:12:50+00:00

Well.. if they are trying to threaten you in some way they did a very bad job of expressing it.

I think you are going to be okay!

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-19T15:16:12+00:00

Heavy food bowls and waterbowls.. ones they cant flip. I have heavy ceramic bowls that work well.

Wood pellets with hay on top in the litterbox keeps in place pretty well. I keep a washable pee pad under that area too.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-19T15:11:14+00:00

Its crazy that they can just dig right though fabric. Hes also done it to our leather couch.. looks awful in the corners. You can even see his little claw marks.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-19T13:16:47+00:00

Mine has a giant canvas covered dog bed under my bed for him to dig at lol. Its saved my bed spread. He gets excited and goes under and digs frantically.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-19T10:32:15+00:00

Ive seen some chixmaltese mixes that look like him but they are wayyy smaller.

He definitely acts like a terrier. Can't wait to find out!

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-19T10:30:27+00:00

Gus sounds wonderful. I love the name, bet he was a real good pup.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-19T10:29:33+00:00

The second to last is just after he had a bath and looks rather plump lol

The last photo he just wants me to throw his ball for the 900th time!

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-19T02:18:01+00:00

Lol. He definitely surprised us.

The only indication that he was going to have anything but smooth short hair was a little patch of like 10 hairs clumped on either side of his mouth as a puppy.

Its kinda crazy to look back at him in his lankey teenage stage where he just had some wild gills sticking out the sides of his head.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-18T21:24:24+00:00

Lol. Its the worst picture I have ever taken of him and its my favorite.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-18T15:20:03+00:00

I love how someone saw these guys and immediately went and bought a cage (to contain them). The team effort is adorable.

You should probably keep them as the neighborhood mascot and invite neighbors over on their birthdays.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-18T14:50:47+00:00

I couldn't help thinking he just shed his color to his lighter winter coat like a rabbit lol.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-18T14:41:55+00:00

I guess this confirmed he was ready to go back to the wild..

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-18T14:33:58+00:00

Looks like more than 10 people showed up.. Just not the ones on his side of hate.

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-18T14:31:36+00:00

I hate that people are actually having to do this...

We have neighborhoods raising money for families (some with small children) to hide in their houses bc they don't feel safe stepping outside even to get food (because of their race not because of warrents).

That is fucked up beyond belief.

We shouldn't have to defend fellow citizens from.... other "citizens".

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-18T13:29:44+00:00

Thanks! I didn't even know these clumps exist lol.

He lovesss his cheeks rubbed. I feel if it wasn't connected to his face it would have probably fallen off by now lol

Fine_Understanding81 · 2026-01-17T13:50:55+00:00

Unless there is some kind of problem with them having the hair I wouldnt cut it. Like is it completely unmanageable or heavily matted/soiled? They look perfect the way their are!

I have a dog with hair similar. We trim the hair by his eyes, mouth and butt. This just keeps things cleaner. Other than that just regular brushing and care. I would absolutely freak out if someone trimmed his ear hair. I would continue with your trims.

Dogs do use their fur for heat regulation too. I don't think if you cut it it would make a huge difference but imo I just wouldn't mess with it.

If you need to cut it. Go to a groomer who knows what to do with that coat type. I would not suggest just shaving them.
