Sisu looks so happy. I love seeing pitbulls shown in a positive way like they naturally are. I ❤ pitties. 🐾💕🐾💕🐾
In Australia they're known as 'Staffies' and they are generally the most beautiful dogs. The best companions (apart from Greyhounds)!

I have been so close to suicidal today, only my dogs have kept me going, and reading about the kindness and empathy the Animal Control officer showed plus the happiness in the dog's face have brought me back from the edge. I hope both dog and human have charmed lives from this moment on!
I love cats with weird colorations! My girl is a black cat with tufts of white/grey on her right hind leg.
My cat cupcake was all black with one white toe - the icing. Her sister, Muffin, was all black because you don't put icing on muffins.

The dog and cat behavior expert shared that she has always loved animals and bought her first cat behavior book when she was ten years old. “Back then, I had no idea that there was such a thing as a cat behaviorist, so learning about animal behavior was just a hobby. We had many pets in our family including cats, dogs, budgies, guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits. I was also mad about horses and took up riding for a while.”
“As an adult, I had a series of office jobs that brought in some money but I never felt happy doing accounting work, so when I was looking for a part-time job after having my children, I decided to set up my own pet-sitting business. Looking after so many people and their pets inspired me to learn as much as I could about cats and dogs and after taking a few years to study for a degree-level qualification in animal behavior and gaining lots of experience, I was very happy to become an Accredited Animal Behaviourist in 2015 and a Clinical Animal Behaviourist in 2022, which was my ultimate goal!
I still enjoy caring for some long-established pet-sitting clients, but I also help people to resolve the cat and dog behavior problems in their household, remotely and in person, which is very rewarding but can sometimes be difficult, as it can often be stressful and emotional time for everyone involved. I wouldn’t swap it for the world, though, and I continue to learn more about canine and feline behavior every day, amongst other species.” You can learn more about Sally and her services on her website, Twitter, Facebook or Instagram!
She's a very polite girl, she doesn't want to eat them but doesn't want to be rude.
free treat for the next dog who comes by too, she's such a nice girl
Just like my grandma's dog. She kept giving him boiled egg every day and he loves her so much he would tucked it in his cheek then hide it in the flower pot. He was a gentle Great Dane. Pepsi , I am sure you are having fun with grandma up there in heaven.
My baby sister was trying to feed our dog leaves and he did the same thing lmao. He would gently take them in his mouth then spit them out when she turned around to get more leaves. A lot of people think he’s scary but he’s actually just a big gentle giant :)
my dog did the same however it wasnt during walks. my parents friend would bring milkbones with them to give my dog. they assumed he liked them and so did we since he ate them wen he was younger. he always ate treats in the dining room. we dont kno y we didnt even eat in there unless we had multiple guests or on holidays. everytime hed go into the dining room with the milkbone to eat it. we were wrong. 5 years after he passed my parents decided to move to florida wen the movers picked up the couch in the tv room next to the dining room there was a whole collection of milkbones. thats wen we realized he didnt want to b rude and not accept the gift from my parents friends but he didnt want to eat it either so hed push it under the couch.
Did he come from a shelter? Our dearly departed dog Bo used to hide treats and mouthfuls of food, even after he’d been with us for years.

Load More Replies...It’s not that surprising that these funny animal memes mainly feature dogs and cats, as these creatures are among the most popular pets worldwide. While we usually hear how different they are in their behavior, we got curious about the similarities they share. Sally Chamberlain told us that cats and dogs are similar in many ways: “Both have evolved to live in domestic homes as pets (except certain dog breeds and some individuals) and can form strong bonds with their human caregivers. They are both opportunistic in the ways that they try to gain the most benefit from living with us, such as making sure they get the warmest seat in the house, are given tasty food and treats and do their best to solicit love and attention from us by being cute and affectionate. Most dogs get taken out for walks but some cats can enjoy walks in the same way if they are trained to do so, usually from a young age. Cats also enjoy playing games and some of them like to play ‘fetch’ in the same way that dogs do.”
We got a cat from a rescue (big ginger neutered tom cat) as we had a rat problem on our farm. He would quite happily sit on a bench and watch the baby rats play underneath. He never caught anything bigger than a shrew - and those he let go in the house.
I think neutered cats have less drive to hunt. Something about hormones I think
Load More Replies...Makes me think of that wholesome theory that Tom and Jerry are actually friends and Tom only pretends to hunt Jerry so that Tom's owners don't get in a professional to bump Jerry off. That's why he never catches him.

Caroline, this seems not starting good with us. As a cat owner I must demand that only feline dentalities are allowed to be called "teef". Didn't you got my e-mail? Your comment ruined my and my cat's afternoon, as we are waiting at the dental center for an appointment. My cat offered me support and pawtection because I suffer from my fear of the dentist. When "her furryness" starts hissing, the gap filler stops drilling. Her name is Easy. That's short for "I can kill you so easily"....

“It is a long-held belief in human society that dogs are man’s best friend and cats are aloof, but the opposite can be true. I’ve met many cats with dog-like loyal qualities and dogs who can be aloof and would rather chomp on a chew in their beds or sniff around the garden than spend time with people. Cats and dogs are all very individual and although they are very different species, as modern-day pets, they can be similar in the way they have adjusted to life as domestic animals. A lot of households have both cats and dogs as pets and they can become closely bonded, especially if they are brought up together as puppies and kittens. Our own cat, Monty, has many dog-like qualities. He’ll often follow us around and flop on the floor nearby to watch what we are doing. He also enjoys lots of fuss and attention, including belly rubs, and really loves his food!”
My future step-daughter took a month long trip to Greece. Every single day she sent us pictures of the cats she met on the island.
This is Largo di Torre Argentina, it's a cat sanctuary. I don't know if the restoration works are now finished, but it's absolutely worth the visit
I have actually been there! That is actually the place where julius Cesar was assassinated, and its this big group of ruins, but the city did not know what to do with it, so they turned it into a cat sanctuary! there is like 300 cats there.
My friend told me yesterday that Google Maps has got her cat sitting on her windowsill. I just went to check and there she is!
I’ve been to this place, it’s the cat ruins and tons of wild cat live there
Great catch! Got him mid Awoo! That Doggo needs to get back in the car! He’s making me nervous!
that is actually EXTREMELY dangerous. do not let your dog have their head get out the window. dog can fall out and get extreme injuries that may lead to death, and can kill the dog even in a low speed crash. cute photo tho
Hey doggo! It's the middle of the day! You gotta wait for a full moon at night silly!
Nothing makes my heart happier than seeing a dog with its head out of a car window
Although pets can bring immense happiness and tons of funny animal pictures to their owners, they also present a range of challenges. Thinking about that, we asked Sally Chamberlain about some of the most common issues she has faced with pets and what tips she would suggest to help owners improve their pets’ behavior. According to the dog and cat behavior expert, one of the main issues that span both cats and dogs is a lack of understanding about how they communicate.
“Many humans assume that cats and dogs communicate in the same way as we do and like to be touched, hugged and looked in the eye and that they should be ‘told off’ when they do something wrong, but much of this can cause them anxiety. Animals such as cats and dogs rely heavily on scent as part of their communication systems so, especially in the case of feline behavior problems, they tend to urinate, defecate and spray urine around the home if they are feeling territorially secure but some humans believe they do this out of spite, when it is actually either due to a medical problem and/or anxiety. Another common behavior problem when it comes to cats is when their human caregivers bring another cat or kitten into the home and expect them to just get along. In most cases, cats do not like living with other cats, especially not unfamiliar ones and they will naturally try to expel them from their territory unless they are slowly and carefully introduced over a period of weeks or months.”
by the looks of the picture it seems like your coworker is being VERY HELPFUL
omg that must suck, you know if it would help i can take that burden off your shoulders.
But unlike your other useless co-workers this one is adorably tolerable!
Too close to the 'Num Lock' button. Irritating indeed. But look at that face.
Minimum amount of armor needed to do this with suffering fatal injuries.
“Some of the most common canine behavior problems stem from them being poorly socialized as a puppy during what is referred to as the ‘sensitive period’ of around three to fourteen weeks of age. If they have not had positive experiences of different animals, people and places, they may struggle to cope with these later in life and behave aggressively or shut down because they are anxious and afraid. Another common issue with dogs, especially since lockdown in 2020, is separation anxiety, which means that a dog cannot cope with being left alone or even if they have human company, they cannot cope without their favorite person or people and may bark, whine, howl, urinate and defecate because they are so distressed. In some cases, dogs with severe separation anxiety have hurt themselves trying to break out of doors, windows or crates in an attempt to find their human families. Many dogs also struggle when out on walks and may pull on the lead, fail to come when called or bark and lunge at other dogs, people or passing vehicles or anything else with wheels. These are just a few of the examples of behavior problems in dogs and cats. There are many more but by learning as much as we can about cat and dog behavior and setting them up for success when they are young, much of them can be prevented.”
This is why I have to use two balls, mine won't drop the one he is holding until he has another one to fetch.
Had a dog that did that too. Fetch could only be played with at least 2 balls, so kept about 5-6 in the yard.

The story is that they trained the rats to play hide-and-seek with humans, where the rats got the cars. Turned out the rats enjoyed driving the cars around.
Who cares about where the cheese is? They have more important things to worry about.
When it comes to animal training, dogs are often the first pets that come to mind. However, as many cat owners can attest, felines are also capable of learning and can benefit from training just like their canine counterparts. Just think, if you could train your cat to “smile” and how many funny animal faces memes you’d get out of it! According to Sally Chamberlain, any animal can be trained, and the principles are the same.
“The main type of training that most people are aware of is positive reinforcement training in which an animal is given a food treat or other reinforcer for carrying out an action that we would like them to. Dog training is well-known but cats can be trained in the same way if they are in the mood (calm and receptive) and a reinforcer of high enough value is used, such as small pieces of chicken, other food treats, play or fuss, depending on what they find rewarding. Training a dog is likely to be more well-known because they go out into public places more frequently than cats and there can be issues with the law and the risk of injury if a dog is not well-behaved in public. When it comes to cats, they too often go outside but are more likely to run away from someone rather than interact or behave aggressively. Training for cats can be enriching for them, reduce anxiety and increase the bond between them and their humans. Training is also good for getting them used to husbandry procedures, such as claw trimming or administering medication and can also form part of behavior therapy to resolve some of the problems mentioned above.”

I'm she he's just there fora decent conversation. You must have said something very profound.
“Training continually occurs in animals because they are always learning and we can shape their behavior by offering rewards when they do something we want and would like to be repeated, such as them lying down calmly or staying on a stool next to the kitchen worktop when we are cooking. This principle also applies to us too because, as you may have noticed, our cats and dogs have us very well trained! They train us to stroke them when they jump on our lap, give them food when they are hungry and open the door for them when they want to go out. Cats are especially good at training humans to get them to do what they want, hence the phrase ‘dogs have owners, cats have staff’!”

When it comes to training animals and communicating with them in general, Sally Chamberlain has some last words: "It is vital to remember that we should be kind and set them up for success by making the training easy at first and gradually building up to more complex exercises. Training with kindness and without the use of force, fear or intimidation is usually referred to as being ‘force-free’. I would recommend being very cautious about using any techniques shown on television shows, as these are often outdated and designed to show a ‘quick fix’ for entertainment purposes. Some of the best ways to learn about force-free training are the following YouTube channels, websites and books. These a just a few but are an excellent place to start:
