Pretty dog, now get a breakaway collar on it
I’ve never seen a breakaway on a dog. My trainer recommended a martingale, though two dogs now are “special” and were abused rescues that bite the shit out of me.
I haven’t either, and I just did some searching and I’m not seeing vets saying you should use one. I’m seeing a lot of companies that sell them claiming that vets say that, but I’m not seeing it anywhere. I’ve had four dogs in my life and I’ve never been in a situation with any of them where a breakaway collar would be needed.
It’s an abundance of caution thing I guess, I didn’t know they were so controversial.
My dog has a collar for ID and a harness for walking with
That’s what I do. She still wears the martingale and I suppose if she is being a dick I could hook up to that, but I have a nice 3 point harness with a handle so if she gets in to trouble I can just pick her up like a suitcase 🤣
She hates when I do that of course
I’ve never, ever heard of a breakaway dog collar. Cats are the ones jumping off stuff, squeezing through small spaces, climbing and having a much higher risk of strangulation via a caught collar. Dogs don’t typically do that, so their risk is very, very low.
The first dog in Minnesota?! What did they do before that? Everyone out walking their porcupines / large lizards / capybara in the park? What? How did they not import dogs from the next state?!
The first dog in Minnesota?! What did they do before that
Moose, elk, and hockey players. Also a few stray Wisconsinites.
I like this dude more with each article I see. 💙
Right? Where was this 10 years ago?
This feels like the wholesome Democrat version of the Maga cult.
Tim Walz is the person who actually cares about rural folks that Trump was pretending to be. Of course Walz is known for helping regular middle class folk by primiting green energy, while Trump focused on the coal miners who are small in number who were clinging to a dying pollution causing fossil fuel undustry.
Did you read this?
I can’t wait to hear the “how dare he help someone in medical distress while he’s supposed to be campaigning!” screams from the right.
Tim Walz seems like what would have happened if Mr Rogers went into politics.

i feel like it’s obligatory to share this also: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/politics/article/donald-trump-dogs
lots of people don’t call themselves “dog people,” and some are even afraid of them. but it’s a huge red flag and sus as fuck when i find out someone actively hates dogs. or cats. what kind of weird psycho attitude is that?
I can understand people not liking dogs. I can’t understand people who hate dogs.
I really can’t understand people who are universally hated by dogs. And cats. Cats don’t like trump either.
Like. What kind of foul, loathsome shitstain-on-the-universe do you have to be, for not a single golden retriever to accept you?
I don’t like cats. But I’m severely allergic so it’s too be expected. I mainly dislike cat owners who let their cats roam.
I bet cats like you though. They seem to be attracted to allergic people.
I love cats but I too dislike people who let their cats roam. Cats are perfectly capable of getting enough exercise indoors, due to their use of vertical space, and they become an invasive species when they’re feral or roaming. I support TNR programs because leaving neutered ferals in place keeps from opening a niche for more breeding cats, and because they aren’t really adoptable. Although some can be given rodent-control jobs on farms and the like. That’s outdoors but it’s not the same as roaming around the city.
Not only is roaming bad for the environment and local eco system, people near me let their cats roam. I live in a condo and see them roaming my area, But our building uses poison to keep mice at bay, and any mice near here are liable to be poisoned, which is dangerous for kitty. Also we see coyotes regularly in my area, which is super dangerous for kitty. I always try to tell the neighbors to keep their cats indoor for their safety
TBF I’ll bet dogs fucking hate him and he’s just responding to that. Dogs can usually tell a creepy weirdo.
I’d bet even mosquitoes don’t want to be anywhere near him.
