Funny Pics thread II

25 years ago I had a mutt who slipped a disk in his back. Vet wanted $1200 to fix it with surgery, but no guarantee it would work. I said no and he said try steroids and basic immobilization for 2 weeks. Dog completely healed and became the worst (best?) fence jumper I have ever had.
Was it a dachshund? If so I would love to see video of him jumping over a fence.
 
My son-in-law’s former German Short-haired Pointer, Talula could climb fences of any type or height. Dog was an escape artist.

I really hate what happened to your daughter and I hope she gets will soon and has no complications, but I have a dachshund and I am afraid his back is starting to go out. That's pretty brutal.

That's typical of weiner dogs, and their dwarf nephews.

Worked for a veterinarian several eons ago. Our deal was that I’d go after the cats and the Dobies and Rotties and GSDs, and he’d do the little dogs. It seemed like a very fair deal to me.

In my experience, little dogs are often bitey because, well, they’re little. They get sat on, tripped over, treated inappropriately as if they were human children, including being fed chocolate candy(!) by weirdo owners, dressed in bizarre outfits, and generally not treated like dogs. And nervousness seems frequently bred into them.

I’ve known some pretty chill little dogs (including dachshunds, and even one super-chill chihuahua 😲), but I’m overall prepared for them to be paranoid chompers. It’s generally not their fault. My lunatic cat of unknown but obviously abused background often reminds me of little dogs, sharing the belief that the best defense is a good offense. Chomp. I definitely let them know that they had stepped over the line, but I didn’t hurt them.

I’m sorry to hear of your daughter’s bite (and the pic, yikes!) I hope she heals quickly and completely.
