Hi, my name is Mutt. I enjoy many fandoms including Dr. Who, Supernatural, Marvel, DC, Xena, etc. I really love cats and goats. My Tumblr is a hodge-podge of crafts, fandoms, girl-power, sexy-esque items, animals, and science. Feel free to message me if you feel inclined to do so. I enjoy meeting people.

I think it's so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn't have a job to do constantly

On one hand this is extremely fucking funny, but on the other hand, it really boggles my mind how many people punish their dogs for just… doing the thing they were bred to do.

Your husky isn’t β€œhyperactive”, it’s bred to pull sleds for 8 hours straight and you have it in a 400 sq ft yard.

Your English sheepdog isn’t β€œpushy”, it’s bred to herd sheep, and you have neither to space nor the herd to allow it.

Your terrier isn’t β€œnippy”, it’s bred to kill rats and your hamster looks a hell of a lot like one.

Your Catahoula isn’t β€œmean to animals”, it’s bred to hunt any and all animals smaller than it, and you didn’t acclimate it to your cat.

Your Lhasa Apso isn’t β€œyappy”, it’s bred to bark at any tiny noise and alert watchmen to intruders

Like Jesus Christ, if you can’t provide an environment where your dog can’t fulfill its literal life purpose, maybe?? Don’t get that dog??? And if you do, maybe know the breed characteristics so you can redirect those traits into more constructive outlets????

Both your most common doodle's parts (labra and golden) want to hunt and retrieve water birds so the best suggestion I can give y'all is congratulations on your new duck hunting hobby.

I grew up with shar-peis in the early 90s: a farmdog of all work with a very strong guarding streak. They are one family dogs, by nature somewhere between unpleasant to unsafe for people who have not been approved as family by the dog.
