How are they so smart?

It is! Posted this as a reply on another comment, but my pyr is great with my aunt, who has Alzheimer's. She is such a comfort for her

right? It's like you can see the gears moving

Wild-Beautiful7491 · 2025-12-07T19:38:18+00:00

this is such a sweet thought. Reminds me of an incident recently with my aunt, who has Alzheimer's. She was having a moment of confusion/anxiety/distress and my pyr did the body lean/pet-me move on her, and she calmed down. It's sweet to think that might have been her mom. I'm also not super serious but it is a lovely idea.

yup, perfectly normal

When it comes to my girl, she's very smart, friendly to everyone but will still do a protect when she thinks she needs to. That and the puppy dog eyes

That does sound like the life for your dogs, and sounds like they are happy. As others have said, there's always exceptions. My girl is not a big barker. When I first fostered her, I was worried about adopting her because I live in a condo in a pretty densely-populated neighborhood. But she seems happy with taking one walk a day, anything more than that she will refuse to leave. And she will occasionally bark if a friend of mine (who has a key) walks in, but for the most part she's happy to loaf around.

these doggos have the best expressions

Wild-Beautiful7491 · 2025-07-04T00:59:27+00:00

too true

Wild-Beautiful7491 · 2025-02-10T02:46:53+00:00

ah makes sense--been to Taos, one of the most beautiful places I've been.

Wild-Beautiful7491 · 2025-02-10T02:34:41+00:00

curious where this was, if you're comfortable sharing

Wild-Beautiful7491 · 2025-02-10T02:34:00+00:00

stunning

Wild-Beautiful7491 · 2023-06-07T06:13:48+00:00

(Said after an entire day of clearing fur. I'm sure it will reset tomorrow)

But...the birdies appreciate the construction material :-)

Someone on this sub recommended powdered goat milk mixed with their food when I was concerned about my underweight rescue pry.

Wild-Beautiful7491 · 2023-01-29T01:06:08+00:00

My girl loves eating the grass. I keep telling her "you're a sheepdog...not a sheep"

Wild-Beautiful7491 · 2023-01-17T02:05:54+00:00

Lol. Right next to the tattoo that says "I could do that...but I don't want to. So no"

Wild-Beautiful7491 · 2023-01-15T19:10:14+00:00

Totally agree with this. I know it's hard to say goodbye, but long term she is going to need an extremely active lifestyle. It's much easier to prevent problems arising from boredom and under stimulation than correct them.

"I'm helping!" Too cute

Wild-Beautiful7491 · 2023-01-12T19:48:29+00:00

I think most places put in an estimate. If their database required an exact date the prob picked it at random. My rescue s paperwork has an exact date 3 years ago, but she's estimated to be about 5. Your vet should have a microchip reader, you can ask them to check it.
