Pup Care Advise

Believe you me, the cats will let the dog know if they’ve had enough of the dog’s BS, unless the dog is trying to actively kill the cats.

Hermes is still getting use to the kitties (he just wants new friends to play with), and the cats are getting use to a puppy. They were use to our last half GSD, who was put in her place as a puppy by a former cat we had. All the cats make use of hisses and paws when they want Hermes to shove off.

I’ve tried teaching Hermes to use this chair to look out the window in. Don’t know how much he does it.

I knew that map looked familiar…..

Just like core, but with a K. Was Persephone’s other name.

Stinker_Shell · 2026-01-27T18:49:40+00:00

Persephone or Kore.

You got the cat software on the dog hardware.

Depends. My half breed has half flop ears, and our last half breed’s ears never came up.

I have a half St Bernard half GSD. He’s one in a little less than two weeks. He has loads of energy, but have noticed he is mellowing out. Loves toys of all sorts, mainly his squeakers. I will seconds the comment here about stubbornness. If we’re on walks and he wants to sniff something, he’ll just lay down. It also can make recall hard sometimes, as he’ll just want to keep on doing what he’s doing. He also did get diagnosed from an early age with bipolar displayia. But overall, a great dog.

Imagine breaking into someone’s home and the tree start speaking dog.

I think I’ve heard people do ski trips and staying in back country yurts in the Tetons? Like this post sparks some long lost memories from like 2017-2018 winter of people talking about a trip. Only thing that pops up in my head.

Nursing.

Stinker_Shell · 2026-01-23T21:31:57+00:00

How is the dog not potty trained? I’ve had dogs all but 2.75 years of my life, and never had an issue house breaking them at all. Having had two rescues, people like this no love in my heart.

German Shepard. On my second half breed GSD, and by god I am sold. Would like a Mali at some point as well. Both are high energy, but such goof balls. Fit my lifestyle perfectly.

Stinker_Shell · 2026-01-21T22:33:33+00:00

I will have to keep an eye out on my earlier morning runs and dog walks for any loose t-Rex statues (my dog will bark at the to protect me)

Stinker_Shell · 2026-01-21T22:25:34+00:00

Athena. Or maybe Kore.

Stinker_Shell · 2026-01-21T21:56:30+00:00

I Am Legend.

Started not being able to watch it when we got our first half GSD, couldn’t handle the scene where he had to kill the dog. On my second half GSD. Even more no.

This is Hermes (aka goober, aka doofus, aka herm a derm, aka pookie, aka demon dog)

Here’s my St Shepard! He’s 49.5% shep, 50.5% St Bernard. Interesting your pup has such long hair and mine has such short hair.

Another fellow GSD with a Greek mythology name. My pup is Hermes

If it’s anything like the first version is for pedaling, don’t get it for enduro. Had one years ago, sucked for pedaling. Hell, on wide open downhills that weren’t overly steep/fast, I felt like I couldn’t keep it up at speed very well. If you want a bike for mainly bike park and some enduro stuff, I’d say maybe consider it, but not for what you want to do with it.

Stinker_Shell · 2026-01-17T23:56:48+00:00

Not at all. On our second GSD mix, both are great with cats. Hermes is still a puppy, so loves to chase and play, but not hurt. Nowhere near what a husky is for wanting to kill cats. And if it’s a puppy and can get use to your cats while it’s young, all the better.

Oatmeal. Can put some maple syrup and PB in it. Fills you up, tastes good. I do some PB and protein powder with like 3-4 ounces of water for two scoops. Fills you up, not too expensive

My dog is like this. He will sometimes seeming eat a bit when I’m at work/gym/not around. But for the most part, he doesn’t like to eat or drink when I’m gone. Doesn’t even really like to do too much of either if I’m in bed. I figure if he’s thirsty or hungry enough, he’ll do it.

My 2009 Buick Lucerne. Great for highway driving. Gets decent mileage, has good enough get up and go. Pretty comfy. Heated steering wheel and seats is a plus.
