My Dog - pet thread

[NiagaraPete]

I’ll bet she sheds like a banshee

Yes. I could fill a couch yearly.

I have a Borzoi, she has her own musical taste.

It would be fun (and funny!) if you could set-up an experiment where she could push buttons to select different music or silence or maybe some other sounds...

Most of the dogs I've known or owned have mostly ignored music or sound from the TV, etc. Sometimes they'd perk-up their ears with an unusual/unfamiliar sound. I have seen dogs that "sing along" (howl) with certain music or when their owner sings.

Strangely, loud music doesn't seem to bother most dogs. I've seen dogs "acting normal" at loud outdoor concerts. I would assume they have a lower threshold of pain than humans but it doesn't seem so. Fireworks do seem to bother most dogs but I don't know if it's painful to their ears or just startling and/or annoying.

Yes it would but you'd need a dog much brighter than a Borzoi. Borzoi are very aloof (cat like) and only really do want they want. That said I wouldn't want to be a rabbit caught in the back yard with one. They are almost as fast as a Greyhound and about as lazy.

Same with our Cattledog

This is something I should have added. A Borzoi sings

We had a dog who'd often react if her name (Molly) was mentioned in a song. The cats, not so much.

2 Cats both purebred Maine Coons (largest domesticated cat breed)

The elder statesman. Doesn't like music but loves to sit in my lap and watch movies
On the small size only 15 pounds and about 38" tip of nose to end of tail

Our new addition a poly-dactyl (6 toes) kitten. Just turned 9 months old and is already 14 pounds and 36" tip of nose to end of tail.
Looks like he will end up about 20 pounds and about 42" long based upon current size.
Gonna have to sell a dac or amp to pay for future food and litter bills.
This one loves music and sits on my desk purring no matter what i play especially when its AC/DC.

A beauty. Our next will likely be Savanna. We’ve had three Abyssinian’s but the Mrs would like to experiment.

 

[Promit]

I'd say the top image is from the cannon. What happened to the poor girls front leg?

I took that photo shortly after a two day stay in the vet ER where she gave us quite a scare, it was nice to see her smiling again. She had a vestibular issue, which seems to be common in older dogs in her age range (11), and had to be on IV for a few days until she could stand on her own again.

She might have some Cattledog in her,,,,the ears

It's a puzzling mix.

Looks like he/she is a reader instead of a music aficionado?

That's funny... must have been quite an ecstatic character.

Yeah that would be interesting to see if the dog realised that interacting with the buttons changed music or sound and their reaction to it.

I had a Maine Coon and a barn cat but they both died in the last 3 years. I would really like to get 2 or 3 coons again. The one I had was blue slate, but I can't find a breeder with solid blue slate in the midwest.

Solid White or black would work too.

At 18 stone deaf.

She was a fantastic dog.

This is Bruno all nine and a half stone of him!. He is about 13 yrs old but still pretty fit and walks 3 to 4 miles every day. The only audio he is interested in is the rustle of sweetie bags and biscuit packets .

 

[frogmeat69]

Haven't had a dog in many years, but plenty of cats.
This is my nearly 20 year old girl, doing what she does best.
