    Oh yeah, Rex is actually very tiger stripey all over his body. His grey beard is becoming more prominent in his golden years, too.

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    I feel like a dog isn't truly part of your family until you have like 35 ridiculous nicknames for him or her.

    My family is also the type of family that makes up nicknames and aliases for our animals.

    And they often have their own theme songs.

    Ok, the only approved nickname for a Bruce is The Boss, but I can let it side if you call him Bruuuuuuuce the first time you see him in a day

    So my wife wants to rehome Kona.

    She's a big, messy, slob of a dog and I told my wife that before we got her but now she's so stressed about the constant mess that she's lost all patience with the dog and it is starting to lead to a, lot of stress in my house.

    I'm going to be heartbroken if we do but... I don't see a solution that will work here otherwise

    That does seem a bit extreme. Maybe try an obedience class?

    Have you seen the little plinth thing I made? I sit on that in front of the couch, so basically.. yes.

    It has been raining since yesterday. Fun fact: when you have a very dark brown or black dog, it's very hard to tell that when they went outside to pee they actually decided to dig a hole and wallow like a pig until they brush against you and OH MY GOD WHY IS MY HAND AND ARM COVERED IN MUD NOW ACK STOP RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE LET ME GET A TOWEL DON'T YOU DARE JUMP ON THE BED AUGH

    :bigfrown:

    That was really more excitement than I was looking for this morning.

    Dogs are unfortunately a lot of work, I don't necessarily blame anyone for wanting out if they get over their head because then they just take it out on the dog.

    Puppies do settle down so the wear and tear of puppy energy will go away... maybe not enough though.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    Newfies are pretty dang messy by virtue of being Newfies what with the shedding and slobber. Not a whole lot that can be done there.

    shit didn't see the Kona thing
    poor giant puppy. If I can get my living situation settled down in the summer I'd happily take her. But ... honestly I do get that some people aren't down for dog mess but maybe you can just designate areas of the house that are no-go zones for pups?
    My sister has a wet room/laundry just inside the back door where giant Berner mud monsters can hang out until they're properly cleaned.

    You know what? I was feeling down and defeated last night.

    I'm NOT getting rid of Kona. She's my big furry daughter and I love her.

    I mean Newfies are always gonna be messy but it might get a bit more manageable once she's done being a puppy!

    <3 good luck, bruv!

    Honestly rehoming a dog should be an extreme last resort anyway. Its not fair to the animal.

    This doesnt seem like an unsolvable problem. Maybe get a dog run and Kona just stays outside a little more often during the day.
