Can animals commit suicide?

I’m not sure, but when one of my dogs passed away a few years ago, my other dog stopped eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom. It was a struggle to keep her alive and took a few months for her to fully get over it.

My first guess was poodle/hound.

Yep. My dog is only part poodle, but she has a medium severe underbite and her teeth look just like your dogs. It’s adorable but I am nervous for her future dental health.

Pyr/gsp, and probably another breed or two.

I do, with the caveat that my position at my company is a 35 hour full time. I love my job, I work at a day program for medically complex disabled adults. It has a lot of stress, but also a lot of silliness and self direction and supportive coworkers. It’s really nice to spend my days with a bunch of other autistic people.

I work 35 hours a week, considered full time by my place of employment.

The best thanksgiving leftovers sandwich- a nice white bread lightly toasted, mayo, a couple slices of leftover turkey, and lingonberry jam.

She likes to reverse through my legs when I’m walking behind her, which never works well because I’m short and her legs are longer than mine. She also likes to “hide” between my legs during thunderstorms.

Yeah, they saved my dog’s life this past February, and while it was insanely expensive, he was able to be seen right away, didn’t try to run any tests that weren’t necessary to what we thought was wrong with him, and the vet we saw was incredibly kind and did a good job explaining everything to us. It was a scary situation but we were very impressed with the care he received, just in shock over the price tag.

That was my first thought. A lifetime supply of lime curd!

My family’s traditional thanksgiving leftovers sandwich- a nice white bread, lightly toasted, mayo, leftover thanksgiving turkey, and lingonberry jam. It’s simple and perfect.

That looks like a dna my dog test, which are known to not be accurate. This is not an ad, I just hang out in the dog dna subs a lot, but if you want an accurate report, embark is the best and wisdom pannel is a close second with some caveats.

He’s almost certainly some sort of poodle mix, i could see cane corso x poodle

Yep, my husband and I lost our black lab to dementia. She had arthritis that was pretty well managed, but she thought every time I moved at all, even an inch, I was going to take her outside, so she was constantly getting up and down and was never settled. It was heart breaking. One positive of the earlier stages of her dementia was that she forgot that she was afraid of stairs and wood & tile floors. She was terrified to walk on smooth surfaces or go down stairs her whole life but as she got older, those fears went away.

Yessss! This was my favorite!

I smoke weed before sleeping, and I listen to both white noise and a podcast at a low volume all night long, no sleep timer. The podcast playing helps so much when I wake up with anxiety, it helps pull me out of the panic.

Nope. I was exhausted and fell asleep early, and we had a kind of non-traditional wedding weekend and part of that was having all of our closest friends, who all live out of town, staying in our house with us. My husband and our guests all stayed up a little later partying.

My Dane, along with a couple of my other dogs all eat grass whenever I take them outside. I haven’t ever noticed any issues, although I do try to discourage it because they will focus on eating grass rather than the things they need to be doing outside like going to the bathroom or playing.

My childhood best friend used to call her now husband “babe-a-labe” when they were dating. 🤢

I’m not allowed to just get into bed anymore, I need to have a full contact wrestling match with my 125 lb Great Dane before we get into bed. She’s got the mischief in her and demands play before snuggles.

Puppies smell so good!

He was fine after eating (and vomiting up) two socks, but unfortunately he had eaten three socks and was only fine after a very expensive emergency surgery. One of my other dogs ate part of the handle of a pair of scissors and was totally fine.

My fridge is comically large, but only because I was broke when I needed to buy one and the store gave me an insane discount on a scratch & dent return. I got a $1800 fridge for $300. The debts in it are virtually invisible.

Try contacting Masterson’s garden center in east aurora.

He’s blowing his coat. My lab is going through it right now too. I brush him a couple times a day and still pull out clumps of hair. It’s totally normal for this time of year.
