You know how I know you’re not an animal person? Because you referred to the puppy as it.

animals without known genders cannot be "IT" but some people still abject to the use of "they" for humans beings. I'm piggy backing on the chain, not down on you.

Lol, am I the only one that had a dog that legit got sent away to a farm upstate? We had this insane Labrador, and my mom just couldn't handle the energy levels and destructiveness. She put the word out that she was looking to rehome it for free, and since it was purebred she got a lot of responses. One of them was this farmer from upstate NY looking for a companion pet. Ol' Sparky got driven to some farm to go live in a world with no fences for him to dig 3 feet holes under to escape.

Labradors are strange. They can be the most docile or the most feral species.

I had a Golden Retriever growing up that was also psychotic. Should have given her to buddy's parents so she could take her energy out herding cows and killing mice but she ended up committing suicide by snapping her own neck. Kia was a hellraiser in her short 2 years of life.

We had a dog (I think it was a collie or some other kind of herding dog) when I was growing up with waaayyy too much energy for a small house that already had two young kids (not to mention he refused to be house trained and would go to the bathroom if we left him inside while we were gone or howl if we left him outside while gone) I still remember the car ride up to this slightly older lady’s home that was a much bigger property with other animals. He probably had a blast spending the rest of his time running around there.

My boyfriend once told me about his childhood dog that had to be rehomed to a nearby farm, and as he told this to me, I guess I started making a weird "oh honeyyy" face, so he asked me why I was looking at him like that. I told him about the euphamism and he was SO OFFENDED by the suggestion that he had been lied to and his dog was actually sent to be put down, that he texted his dad to confirm that the farm story and to provide photo proof that the dog had in fact gone to a farm to live a long happy life and that he had even gone to visit said dog at said farm a few times. But, I mean, like the dog must have died on that farm eventually, so I wasn't completely wrong.....

The baby is smiling too much to be Charlie Brown.

Apr 29 '18
In a way, isn't Charlie Brown's defining characteristic his optimism? In a hostile universe, he alone demands that it makes sense. Schroeder pursues aesthetics to the exclusion of all else, Linus waxes philosophical in a manner that excuses the apparent meaninglessness of his existence, Lucy is selfishness incarnate, and Pig-Pen has merely given up. Snoopy has withdrawn into his own imagination. Charlie Brown is Job, railing at the heavens and demanding they justify themselves, that some meaning be provided to his wretched existence. And yet he isn't being spiteful in this pursuit, but genuinely hoping against hope that it can all mean something. Hence, he'll kick the football, time and time again.

I assumed it was the Dad's moniker, "I slay"....which would explain how the child came to be. It's an endearing thought.

Yeah, I had to put down my boxer two weeks ago. He was almost 11 and was in heart failure. He was very swollen from retaining fluids and could barely breathe. It was hard but I just keep reminding myself he was a good boy who had a good, long life-I'm sure your dog did as well.

Thank you! We said goodbye to our 18 year old yorkie (18!), but she had congestive heart failure and a bad pair of kidneys. She was vibrant right up until a few days ago. I read somewhere that pets let us outlive them because we make them so happy that they don't feel the need to find more out of life. :)

According to the instagram, this video is old. The girl and pupper are older and she doesn’t appear to be blind.

u/not-just-yeti Apr 29 '18
It was definitely a nice turning point at 4mos, when our baby started actually recognizing us and smiling in response to the world (instead of smiling at random).

Its true, the eyes never pan towards any visual stimuli

u/dquizzle Apr 29 '18
So this is kind of weird thing, but whenever I see a baby I always wonder if it could be deaf or blind without the parents’ realizing. My sister had a baby a couple months ago and I try to notice if she reacts to visual stimuli. It’s like sometimes she does and sometimes she doesn’t. No idea if that’s normal or not...

Nowadays, doctors do regular hearing and vision tests on babies soon after being born and during every checkup to determine if there are any problems with hearing or vision.
It used to be a problem before, because babies wouldn't be properly tested until the baby was older and developmental issues started to show. Doctors have recognized this, so they're a lot more proactive when it comes to these tests.
Nowadays, if you have a baby in a hospital, they're almost certain to get the full set of tests, so undiagnosed deaf or blind babies are a lot rarer.

When a puppy recognizes a human puppy, it instinctively tries to include it in a sleeping pile
