Conformation dogs not be grossly overweight challenge level impossible. Last year's Westminster Best in Show rottweiler looked like a fucking ottoman.

Boris just weighed in at 86 and he's still having joint issues. Some of these males are 120+.

It's absolutely foul.

It's always these fucking people who have enormous egos about their breeding or handling or training or grooming skills and they get such big heads they don't fucking comprehend when they fumble.

They aren't self critical enough to recognize personal flaws and improve.

You can't fix perfection.

Pretty sure this lady is also conservative because literally every white woman in Kentucky that monetizes dog hobbyism is a mouthbreathing right-winger.

I got to get out of here bro. I need to find the queer dog community irl.

Please. God.

My ex mentor worked w/ her and from what I understand she's kind of a smarmy asshole that talks shit about other people in the dog scene, from what I can remember.

I'm generally fucking tired of the "mean girl" shit in the dog scene. It's getting really old.

A local beauceron breeder and trainer that I knew of through mutual peers in the training community just had her dogs posted on a Facebook fat dog group.

They're fucking huge bro I can't believe this.

Why does my dream dog have to have a local breeder that sucks.

Well at least SOMEONE appreciates my hundreds of dollars of curb-appeal related renovations.

There was all kinds of shit in here. Reeses, Hersheys, lolipops, Kitkats... They hate the mint.

I must have been a weird fuckin' kid because those were always one of my favorites growing up.

I'm trying to do my very best to put myself out there so I'm handing out candy this year. Idk why I've never done this.

The little kids are so sweet and cute. It's really rewarding.

Besides, he's my first personal dog. I took care of Gisselle, but that was different. She was the family dog, and a senior.

I have a lot to learn with future dogs and I deeply cherish the opportunities every dog gives me to continue to learn.

I just wish I had the knowledge I have now when he was a baby.

I feel like his whole life could have been so amazing with his potential, but I wasn't as educated in general. His golden years are gone.

I think he deserves a good rest when the time comes. He's given me so much.

It was like the blink of a fucking eye. It's unfair.

I feel like I'm just now starting to turn a new leaf with him and help him grow to his full potential. He's earning titles. The reactivity is managed. He's learning new tricks. I'M learning so much with him.

Boris is byb so I've had him since he was a 6 week old puppy.

It really hurts to see him age. I'm going to have to lower my physical expectations for him in the coming years, and I suppose find a new sport prospect and retire him from certain AKC events and demo work.

Man.

For the past few days I've been letting my boy out of his crate and he's been crying when he first gets up. He seems to be in pain when he gets up out of the crate.

X-rays came back perfect. No hip dysplasia. But unfortunately I think we might be looking at the early stages of arthritis.

Boris and Juno did great for their dentals. Picking them up in around an hour.

Juno lost two more teeth, which I expected. Little dogs have shitty little mouths and she will definitely lose more even though she's only 4-5.

I discussed Boris with the doctor. He's been concerning me lately.

Thinking about how I have less than half the time I've had with Boris left.

It hurts my heart.

People still smoke "too much" weed and get scared???

What is that like

I've been high essentially every waking moment for 10 years. I live the nightmare. I breathe it.

We just dropped Juno and Boris off for their annual dental cleanings and Brit just had to leave to go to school right after.

I'm so alone wtf. I guess I'll hang out with the cat.

Now someone's going to look up my socials and see this person and assume I made an account to exclusively discuss having a rash on my eye in the skincare sub.

Just learned 9 months ago someone took the handle "SnarlieCharlie" on Reddit to make a singular post and I'm devastated because it's the only social I don't have this handle on.

I hate cardio so much. I sweat so bad even when it's a mild walk and I need to take a shower every time.

People are talking in threads about being on 15 mgs and losing 30 pounds in a month. My dose is 37 mgs.

I really, really hope this works for me and helps me break my bad habits.

My weight is a huge insecurity. I don't just need to lose it for surgery, I need to lose it so I stop hating myself.

I was put on Phentermine so I can lose weight before top surgery. It's a short term solution for the binging.

It's a stimulant that suppresses your appetite. I can confirm from day 1 that it does its job. I don't want to eat at all.

I've probably had <1000 cals and I had to force myself to eat.

Orbit is finally in the final stages! I'm proud of the hard work we did.

Over the course of a week, I worked on rear-end awareness, backing up, luring him to back up around me by shaping, fading out the autosit and lure, applying the verbal cue, and adding my own spinning in the opposite direction.
