Pantalaimon and small rant ^_^
I eat RODENTS!
I invited Jennie from work to my house as she is having ferret issues. I said a session with Pan will make her ferret positive. I think it did, Pan was amazing as usual ^_^
The only thing is her visit is bugging me, eating away at me... FUCKING BRAIN, SHUT UP! She came in and decided to scruff my dogs. I said "Thats OK, they havent got collars on", to which Jennie replied "If they did I would scruff them anyway" and spent a whole lot of time muttering stuff about scruffing dogs, saying stuff like "Its what their mother would do" which REALLY WINDS ME UP. First of all YOURE NOT THEIR MOTHER, YOU ARE A HUMAN. Second, the mother VERY RARELY scruffs her puppies, if at all, in a normal, stress free environment. Only bad breeders who dont know how to look after their bitches have allowed this opinion to circulate, an opinion which dates back 30 years ago, when strangling and beating dogs was acceptable. THIRDLY, mummy animals want their puppies/cubs to leave one day, so any mothering behaviour is designed to make babies become independent of her. I don’t want my dogs to leave, they need to rely on me for the rest of their lives. Fourthly, if my dogs went up to a small child, how the hell would the child be able to scruff my dogs? Obviously a technique used by ignorant losers :p
She is just like my sister Jo, in every single way.
Then my dogs weren’t allowed to do anything, so a series of scruffing, ‘NOs’ and ‘LIE DOWN’ was heard throughout the visit, because my dogs aren’t allowed to get up to go to the kitchen or sniff her foot. WTF? They weren’t doing anything wrong!
Oh, and dont get me STARTED on dominance. Dominance this, dominance that. But everyone else at work is obsessed with the word dominance too. Resource competition is dominance, so the dog has to be put in its place, guarding is dominance, so slap that dog down! Looking at you is dominance, shitting in its blankets is dominance... If I hear fucking dominance as an excuse or reason for anything ever again I am going to shit down a weasels neck. AAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH
Rant over.
