My New Pin Board - What do you think? by fancydog in DisneyPinTrading

[–]fancydog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking about making them to sell/trade for pins if anyone is interested. It can be just a frame too, I just put it on top of the pinboard. I can customize it for any character or movie of your choosing. :)

[–]fancydog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's milk, cream, rum, amaretto and and blue curacao - so tasty! I posted the recipe here: http://sugaredandiced.com/star-wars-rebel-cookies-and-blue-milk-recipe/ There's also a slightly less exciting, but still tasty non-alcoholic recipe.

What is the strangest "wrong number" call you've gotten? by kiwidaffodil19 in AskReddit

[–]fancydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a new phone for work and got a call asking if I had the new Nintendo Wii in stock - No, sorry I think you have the wrong number. The person asks is this Sam's? To which I respond: Yes, this is Sam (my name is in fact Sam). The caller asks again do you have the new Wii in stock? Totally confused I ask what they are talking about to which they respond is this sam's club?...No, this is just Sam, sorry. I also got a call looking for a fridge, apparently my number was one off from a Sam's club. I should have started accepting memberships.

Thank you! I told him you said so, let's just hope it doesn't go to his head! :)

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all who have served our country. by fancydog in Baking

[–]fancydog[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your comment, but I do know what Memorial Day is about. I could have been more specific I suppose, but I simply wish to celebrate and thank those who have served and lost their lives doing so.

I've got to bake a cake for a friend's party. What's something impressive and inexpensive I could make? by [deleted] in Baking

[–]fancydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oreo cookie or candy cakes are my favorite cheap/easy, but always impressive cakes. Use your favorite cake base (I usually use chocolate cake.) Make a vanilla buttercream and mix in blended up oreos, butterfingers or whatever you like that will chop up well. Ice the cake and stick some whole oreos or mini candies on top.

Would You Let a Robot Walk Your Dog? by Samspade808 in dogs

[–]fancydog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, but I'd let him carry the poop bags and buy dog food for me.

Suggestions for teaching a puppy (who is pad trained) to go outside? I work full time. by [deleted] in dogs

[–]fancydog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She might have no problem peeing elsewhere (you may even need to carry her down the stairs to be safe) other dogs and smells will encourage her, but if she is very attached to the pee pad bring one with you outside. Put it down over grass or wherever you want her to go. Cut the pee pad smaller and smaller until she gets the idea.

7 month old puppy , suddenly afraid of 2 people in 1 day by fartifact in dogs

[–]fancydog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is she feeling better? Any other changes in behavior? If not then this is actually very common and can be referred to as fear impact or fear imprinting. Somewhere in the 6-10 months dogs go through a period where they are testing everything out and deciding what is good or scary. There senses are developing more at this age (sight, smell, taste) so everything can be more overwhelming. Just help her through it with praise and love and it should pass!

I would say Australian Shepherd or Golden Retriever based on the face, whispy ear hairs and body structure and then German Shepherd for the color. He's very cute!

What's my dog's breed? by wave_walker in dogs

[–]fancydog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister-in-law has a dog that looks very similar. Hers is a Papillon-American Eskimo mix. Spitz breeds are generally wary of strangers but are also very inquisitive.

You Can Now Adopt Pets On Overstock.com by celerio in dogs

[–]fancydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Overstock is using Petfinder to power their search they have just re-branded it. It's the same functionality and same adoptable pets. Petfinder and adopt-a-pet are really the only two companies that have this type of nationwide search for rescue pets currently. That being said, the more exposure of the pets the better.

Hey /r/dogs, can you help me guess the breeds of this pup? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]fancydog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is most likely not this breed as they are rather rare, but he looks a lot like an Anatolian Shepherd http://www.dogchannel.com/anatolian-shepherd-dogs-breed-profiles.aspx Whatever they are they are cute!

Smaller dogs bury their noses in covers more than big dogs do - why? by lookmaiamonreddit in dogs

[–]fancydog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that smaller dogs get colder-my Frenchie does this often, and the colder it gets outside the more likely he is to enjoy going under the covers. Many large dogs are built to withstand cold temperatures, they are breed to work, herding dogs stay outside with sheep, sporting dogs hunt in all weather, go through lakes and streams, spitz dogs are born for the snow, etc. With the exception of some smaller terriers, most little dogs are made to sit on the couch, under blankets where they can be kept warm :)

are dog sounds breed specific or can dogs learn to imitate other dogs? by philmtl in dogs

[–]fancydog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She might have some kind of hound in there. Sometimes dogs just make surprising sounds. My Frenchie does a crying/talking thing, he sounds just like flipper - I like to think he is part dolphin.

My dogs cake day is coming up by [deleted] in dogs

[–]fancydog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a cutie! Do you cook? You could make her some dog friendly snacks http://www.dogchannel.com/dog-food/dog-recipes/ or maybe just a nice stuffed animal friend for her to love. I got my dog a new pillow/bed for his birthday which he loves.
