Growing up our little dog had to have a cone of shame. Never seeing one before, my mom ended up putting it on backwards, poor dog was stumbling around all day. When my Dad got home from work he just looked at the dog, let out a big laugh and fixed the cone.
When our back in the day doggo had her some surgery she was too flexible and could get around the cone, so she was upgraded to a bucket with the bottom cut out. She was occasionally called buckethead for ever after that.
well, George is a loaner, and Uschi is technically my father's dog.
but I think even two berners represents an outsized share of the market when I'm sitting here on another continent with not even one hairy dribble machine.

Weren't you considering a pup? Did that fall through?
it's not fair that some people have four dogs and I have ZERO
I've considered getting a good boy or girl in various levels of seriousness, but he two problems are that the apartment management only allows two pets because they are UN-AMERICAN and the roomie already has a dog, and that my cat, who is a brat ass super special princess that I love dearly, hates dogs.
One time she got up and rubbed her head on the dog's snout and was betrayed for this act of graciousness by being licked, and she cried bloody murder at the indignity, never again. I guess it doesn't help that the dog is also a super special princess who thinks that annoying the cat is funny.

Yea, which is a good thing in some ways (it would have involved a ten day round trip journey by car in the midst of a pandemic) and bad in others (no puppy). Fortunately she found a good home locally!
Okay folks, my dog is finally at his 8 weeks post-surgical and is cleared for activity, meaning I can get another dog. However, due to covid and social distancing orders, it's impossible for me to bring my current dog to the shelter to introduce him to any future fuzzbrother. How do I get past this hurdle?

Pupdate, the retriever genes are strong in this one. He's got fetch all figured out and picked up "drop it" in like 5 minutes and he will just play fetch indefinitely. Which is hilarious as he runs along with his far-too-big paws.

Really if you know your dog well enough you can probably let them meet at home and supervise their interactions for a few days.
I did this with Lola.and my brothers dog. They were largely indifferent to each other for a month or two then I caught them sleeping on the couch together so I guess they were doing it for show?
Lola was very protective of what she considers her space though. (Which is my bedroom). Mostly barking and growling never anything past that

I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
Also depends on the dogs. I'd give the pup a lit more recovery time first. Past that, have they met other dogs before?
Personally I've never had much luck with shelter introductions (my rescues had *severe* shelter PTSD). Finding a dog with similar temperament and energy level, talk to the shelter or rescue about expectations around doing a trial period.

Yeah I've brought him to my folks' house, who have two dogs, and the worst interaction he's had with them was complete neutrality on his behalf. He's been growled at a bit just for sniffing around, but he didn't even react to it.

The lab genes are definitely the dominant ones. Today he was outside barking at my wife whenever she didn't spray him with the hose while watering plants. I guess we need to find a place for him to swim because my god does this dog love water.
I don't know, it looks like you've easily got room for another half dozen doggos in that storage area, and that's before you start stacking them three deep.

Edit: also she still kind of resents uschi stealing her only child status, let alone the rest of the carnival

He's also growing like a fucking weed.

(Centre is Georgie, who is on temporary loan due to a family travel emergency. Her owner is absolutely mortified right now).

I think that's what you call a shit-eating grin.
