Last night Mrs. HornOnTheBayou was giving me the "Hey come to bed" eyes since it was getting late and I was leaving town for a week. I let the dogs out for one more piss thinking about what was awaiting me in the bedroom.

But Edgar had different plans. He decided to get sprayed by a skunk and then run into the house.

Obviously, chaos insued. More obviously, nothing happened in the bedroom afterwards. 

But he feels bad.

I'm getting a dog yall! So excited. I got my last pup in '05, passed away in '16 and have been too busy to breathe since. I have questions. She is 8 weeks old at current, I'll be bringing her home next week. Mixed breed, mom is an Anatolian, pops a mastiff. Rescue. She is going to be a big girl. 

Crate train? Should I get a big ass crate or start with a smaller one and then upsize later?

Food? Do I want to do something like Hello Fresh? I do not want to make my own unless it's super easy.

Food, crate, whatever.

GIve them love.

Get ready to be overwhelmed by love and see a reduction in your stress levels, cholesterol, and depression.  Big dogs are big because they hold more love inside.

Also, you're going to need a bigger boat.

Every dog I've crate trained has been a very happy and stable dog. When shit goes sideways, they are happy to have their crate as a safe place.

Good for you. Why obsess over food? Dog food didn’t exist nor 99% of the millenia humans have had dogs. Dogs ate what we ate when I was a kid.

We had several big dogs growing up that ate nothing but Ol' Roy. They all lived into their teens. 

 

They all also lived exclusively outside and slept in the garage. We had a hidden doggy door that went from the back corner of the garage to our back porch and was obscured by a garden table. The only time they came inside was if it was freezing or super hot, or if there were fireworks going off. This blows my wife's mind who only grew up with inside pets. 

 

Biscuit is a spoiled ass bitch. He won't eat anything but FreshPet. Luckily he's 16 lbs so it costs us like 10 bucks a week. 

I cook fresh food for my dogs and mix it in with dry dog food.

I rotate between chicken thighs, pork butt and anything cheap I find for meat, sweet potatoes and rice for starch, and add chicken hearts or gizzards about once a month and then add scrambled eggs and frozen peas and carrots. Costs around $20 a week, right around the cost of dry dog food from costco. I'd do full fresh but there are vitamins they'd miss and it's cheaper to just mix in the dry food than buying the different vitamins and minerals they need.

I always assumed wolves just ate meat, but they get many nutrients from eating the intestines of the animals they eat. Those are the things that are added to commercial dog food that are missing from the fresh food I make.

How many dogs and what size? I've got 3 dogs with an average weight of 65 lbs and feeding them a dry/fresh mix would easily be $45/week.

I have 2.  100 pound lab/german shepard mix and a 60 pound black mouth cur.

1/2 cup costco food, 1 cup fresh twice a day

Last batch was

1 pkg heb chicken boneless chicken thighs - $8
2 cups rice - $.25
1 egg - $.30
1 cup froze peas and carrots - $.25
total - $9

will last 4-5 days

40 pound bag Kirkland Signature Adult Formula Chicken, Rice and Vegetable Dog Food,  - $49.99 
bought bag around May 20th, going to get a new bag next week, so ~6 weeks

so 9/4 * 7 = $15.75 a week for the fresh, $9 a week for dry =~ $25 a week to feed them

when we did all dry the bag would last around 2-3 weeks depending on who was feeding them and how many times the dogs tricked my wife into thinking they hadn't been fed so $17-$25 per week

Yellow, blackmouth cur?  Pics?  That is what we had when I was growing up for cow dogs.

picked him up today! 🥰

he got his first parvo shot this morning before i got him so he's been feeling a little lethargic most of today, but he finally woke up about an hour ago in the mood to play a little and grab a bite to eat. 

i'm sure i'll be sharing lots of way better pictures in the future...but it's been two years since we last had a dog, we had to put Maggie down just a couple months before we moved to CO in 2022...

i realized a few months ago that it's literally been the longest period in my entire life without an animal. 

not anymore ❤️20240629_223027.thumb.jpg.539f48f0a4d9e796c8eb064d075e38b4.jpg

Holy fuck Duke is cute. 

 

We had a little bbq at the house on Saturday. Grilled fajitas and Biscuit got a shitload of handouts. He fuckin loves people. But as you can see his skin gets so damn red from his grass allergy. The Cytopoint shots don't work anymore so we're going to the vet Tuesday morning and will probably get him on Apoquel. I keep the grass short af but it doesn't seem to matter anymore.

Moose finally getting up in the mountains to see his namesake.

Time for an astroturf lawn

ohh...no, sorry, not a real glass eye lol. that's what it's called when they have a blue or sometimes white iris. 

it's a recessive trait I think? related to the same gene that causes the dapple or merle coat (Duke is chocolate dapple).

our Pepper (full blooded Catahoula) had two glass eyes, gave her a piercing gaze... even if nothing else about her was piercing in the slightest (she was a giant goofball 😄❤️)

Willow and I went out to play some disc golf. She got hot and requested a dip in the creek.

Those paws tell me she will not grow much more. Haha. 
 

That puppy stage is hardest but probably best part. 

What breed? I believe that's called a HappyDog.

Roughly:

 

60 % Pit Bull

30% Some Sort of Shepherd

10% Grand Pyrenesse....

 

Very sweet dog. Used to bring me eggs from the chicken coop without breaking the,

Dumb as a rock though. Might be the dumbest dog I've ever met. Tends to hit stuff with his face. And hasn't figured out how to get on and off the couch using his legs.... Sometimes gets stuck going around corners.

It's not going very well with the crate and potty training. Pooped in the crate in protest and got it smeared everywhere. She has no clue I don't think that she shouldn't want to shit where she sleeps/eats and should not want to step in it. Refused to go outside. I'm doing the right things but she is coming from a situation where she was in a pen with her litter mates big chunks of the day and night with pee pads and she probably went wherever and whenever she wanted. I can't leave her alone and I'm home by myself for the next 4-5 days. I don't want to reinforce bad behavior but I guess we're sleeping in the penned off family room tonight.

How big is the crate?

Are you feeding on a schedule and allowing a ton of time for digestion after dinner?
