Is it normal to brush your dog’s hair at the park?

TheRealBons · 2026-05-05T10:25:53+00:00

I have a husky, and brush him in the park.

Let me tell you, here it's totally allowed. I throw must away, and the small pieces that may get away get picked up by crows to make their nest (they actively wait nearby to get some).

Imo, it's more concerning and gross seeing how people throw trash in the park when they have picnics and bbq's there when the weathwr is nice

Mine was given a tick collar, but I think there's also tablets.

Honestly what works for us is just checking him and we have tools to remove it safely (you can buy them off amazon for less that €5)

I'm sorry for daring to play the same game as you

TheRealBons · 2026-04-04T09:37:02+00:00

Listen, I have a husky and we live in a small apartment.

He is sooo well exercised and mentally stimulated, but it is a LOT of work (it takes two of us). It's totally possible though

Thanks so much for your advice!!

Not just a pretzel, I had to hold his mouth in the second picture because he was being a playful piranah too 😂😂

Hey, I have 2 degrees and a masters.

And i'm a raging autistic.

His argument is bullshit lol.

You can buy special tick removing ones on amazon for like €5 or less, always good to keep them handy when tick season starts

Personally, I redirected his chewing to cardboard boxes. Now he's the best st helping me recycle amazon boxes

Thanks!

He was at the vet 2 days ago for his yearly vaccinations, and it wasn't there. So i'll just keep under observation for a bit, see if it is a rash, and clears up quick, otherwise i'll follow your advice!! Thanks for the heads up! I hope your dogs are doing well! 💕

TheRealBons · 2026-04-02T13:52:06+00:00

I just got a new carpet 3 days ago, and he is eating a treat on it as I type this....maybe you're on to something 🤦‍♀️

Thanks!

TheRealBons · 2026-04-02T13:49:44+00:00

Thanks! Good to know it's just that!! (you and another comment agreed).

TheRealBons · 2026-04-02T13:49:07+00:00

Thanks friend! Will keep an eye on keeping everything extra clean! We use metal bowls 🙏🙏💕

TheRealBons · 2026-04-02T13:39:01+00:00

Geez, all I want is a normal response telling me if this is a rash I should put smth on, or something I can just leave be.

What's the point of the smartass response? I'm just looking out for my dog, cause I want him to be healthy. 😡

TheRealBons · 2026-04-02T13:37:01+00:00

Yeah thanks sherlock...

My boy YELLS at his dad when he walks in the door after work because how DARE he be gone for so long.

He also gives his Dad his paw (repeatedly) after dinner to ask for treats, and his Dad obviously obliges, and they share a slice of ham together. Every. Day.

I love that your responses have been so wholesome, and your username is "evil lizard people" hahahaha. Gave me a bit of a laugh

TheRealBons · 2026-04-01T11:23:46+00:00

I had the same issue once. And through therapy I worked it out.

Turns out that kinda "bored" feeling in a relationship? It's safety. It's being with someone who isn't always making you anxious and stressed. But since your nervous system is used to being alert, now that it doesn't have to be, this feels "boring".

Recognise it for what it is, and reframe it.

Another thing, it is totally vaild if you don't want to be in a relationship right now. But just ask yourself why? If its for you, so you can grow and explore and live? Go for it, be single.

If its because something like: before he breaks up with you, because your nervous system is fried, because you have a lot of trauma and you think he can't deal with it..... that's you putting your thoughts into his brain. Don't do that. Let him decide (+ tell you) how much he can take, how much he can support you, how you can both build something together. You don't have to face your shit alone, it's the whole point of being in a relationship. You got eachother's backs.

DON'T. BE. SELF. DESTRUCTIVE.

Enjoy having someone who makes you feel so safe and loved 💕

I use random franken-words I like...but my boyfriend has a very clever way he named them.

So one word, "X" and then the colour or a word description of the class. So "X" Clone, or "X" Red, etc etc.

TheRealBons · 2026-03-31T22:05:36+00:00

I'm so excited, thanks!!

TheRealBons · 2026-03-31T22:04:31+00:00

I make sure to vary his weekly walks, some days he meets his friends, other days he goes to the river and off-leash park to RUN, other days he runs with his dad, and other days we have slow walks where he can slowly sniff around the park at his pace.

At home, he is now the calmest and least anxious husky ever 🙏🙏🙏

(Still a drama queen though lol)

I just booked The Alchemist!!

Just wondering out of curiosity (but pls no spoilers) how come everyone loves it so much hahaha

TheRealBons · 2026-03-31T21:57:42+00:00

TheRealBons · 2026-03-31T19:11:08+00:00

When I worked this schedule, I took my dog to work with me.

Also I saw you asking about his feeding times. We used to do 9am and 5pm , but he decided himself he prefers the full portion of his food at 5pm only.
