Dogs don’t just get tired from running around… the social side of things can be just as, if not more, exhausting. 🐾

Dot met new people last night, and as a human-reactive dog, that’s a huge deal.

She held it together, handled herself brilliantly, and today she’s catching up on some much-needed rest. 😴

If your reactive dog crashes after socialising, don’t panic, it’s completely normal.

Their brains are working overtime to process everything. 💡

👉 Does your dog need a “recovery day” after being around people or dogs?

Why do dogs have most things? (products)
Now don’t get me wrong, I love dogs. I had a childhood dog, a Schnauzer mixed with a Poodle (I will forever miss my botitas 🥺), but now I only have cats. I don’t have dogs anymore and only want to get one when the time is right. I thought these dinner plates were so cute, but they’re only for dog

Large vs Small Dogs
- This is true - even with the smallest things. Don’t get me wrong there are some things that I could understand. For one, barking - a large dog’s barking is 100% more intimidating than a smaller dog’s - & things like that. It’s just - large dogs just always have to be twice as behaved, me

Don’t Get These ‘Innocent’ Dogs as a First-Timer
Okay, so I’ve been dog-sitting friends for the past year and loved it, but I’m finally thinking about getting my own pup. I’m aiming for a mid-sized dog—nothing tiny, nothing that drags me down the street. Here’s the thing: online guides are all over the place about which breeds are “difficult”

Things I didn't know were TOXIC TO DOGS❗️
I didn't know that so many foods were actually TOXIC ☣️ to dogs! Here's the list! Macadamia Nuts 🌰: It is slightly unknown how these are so toxic to dogs but they are super high in fat content and can irritate dogs stomachs. A dose of about two nuts per pound of body weight can result
