🐶 A dollface moment 🐶

OP, I had the same reaction. So sweet and yet so sad.

I know it isn't an option for everyone, but when I grew up, we always had two dogs for this reason. Everyone either had to go to work/school at some point and the dog would be alone for at least 4 hours most days. It is just hard on them.

The dog is freaked out because it's the first time. Once she knows they always return she won't suffer so much.

There puppy daycare for people who are gone for long periods.

First of all, I love the Dollface troll. I thing he/she is lovely.

As others have said, once the dog learns that the owner will come back it might just take a nap. Start with short leavings and slowly increase them.

There is a follow-up video.

She now gets up to mischief when they go out.

To be honest that’s a little insensitive. You’re supposed to condition them gradually - the first time you leave them it’s for about five minutes. Not an hour. Idiots. Would be good if people did some reading. But yes agreed with the post up thread in due course the dog won’t care if you’re not there but is always over the moon to see you.

I find monitoring a puppy with a camera disgusting. It's one step above up-skirting. Don't you bitches respect any privacy anymore?

You should take a nice long walk before you leave for them to work off some energy and so they can poop/pee. An hour for the first time is much to long. I agree with R7, it should be about 5 minutes.

Very sweet, but I could have done without the music.

Some people spend more time learning to use their tech toys than in researching training methods and using them on newly acquired pets.

Plus, that puppy needs a bunch of age-appropriate toys to keep her occupied.

Such a cutie! I wish I had a Westie.

Aww, that baby needs a friend. If 2 dogs is too much for them they should get a kitten. Cats have a special way of calming excitable puppies down. They could grow up together.

I grew up with a Westie. I want one now, but I’m not sure how my cat would feel about it.

You guys are pushing for a yorkie and that’s just wrong.

And, you know damn well that EVERY TIME you leave the dog thinks you’ve been stolen, killed, eaten, or struck by a car and you are NEVER coming back and there’s not even an emergency cat to eat.

What part of histrionic are you pretending not to understand?

[quote]I grew up with a Westie. I want one now,

i did too. When I get a dog I think I'll get another. My mother has rescued TWO and they've been a great success.

"ALERT: for animal/dog lovers only....aggressives not welcome to post"

I guess users can now censor DL at whim?

The dog has grown into a BEAUTY.

Anyone whose vocabulary includes "dollface" is aggressive. I hate the word more than I hate "veggies." Dolls smell and their faces are usually dirty. Gross.

Except, r20, I am a dog lover.

Here's a double dollface alert. Dachshund plays with wild bunny. Bunny then chases the pup and gives him a love nip on the run. LOL

Not my dog who still freaks the fuck out whenever I leave. But it’s more of a "how dare you leave me?!?" indignation than sadness.

^ shows you...rabbits aren't as passive as people think. I once saw a rabbit nip at a magpie.

Oh, dear, the trolls are arriving. they cant resist spreading their venom.

The dog is weeping about the lack of art on the walls!

R26 fuck you, Cunt, and your little dog too!!!!!!!

[quote]The dog is weeping about the lack of art on the walls!

Yes, bit cell-like. Maybe it's a short term rental.

Is there really anyone more delusional than someone who posts to Datalounge and expects it to be Pollyanna-esque?

OP Post a vid of their neighbor quarantined and having to listen to that howling mutt for hours. If you can't be responsible for your animal don't own one selfish asshole.

Re sites similar to R32's link: does anyone know how to get rid of those gross earwax ads?

I was equally perplexed about someone who’s front door opens out, not in.

this with the same dog is so funny - she's still a puppy but the older dog has more grown-up games it wants to play

do dogs have a sense of time?

When I dog sit and go out for an hour they react the same way they do that time I came back after a minute because I'd forgotten something.

i think you'd need to be away for more than a minute to get a big welcome, R36 - your dogs sound strange.

R37 Bitch

I’ve had my dog for 4 years and the other day I had to leave the house for like 30 minutes. She was freaked out after only that short amount of time. But then again I’ve been around all the time now because of Covid.

where is this filmed? - somewhere like Sweden, I think.

We have to network pet socialization with people who can Work From Home after Covid.

That’s good socialization for everyone. We will judge you if you babysit in those shoes. That’s constructive.

Aggressives? What, frau cunt OP, you saw the SVU with Mrs. Kathy and now you think you know what gay is all about?

Fucking retard cunt.

Must Control. Datalounge.

Why not crate train the dog? Win-win for everyone. But then my dog is 55 pounds.

It’s her safe space, and she knows it. She’s safe, secure, in her den-like kennel. The house is not torn up, she doesn’t get anxious, she doesn’t potty.

Cat addict is a dollface.

Gosh, how I envy the neighbors of that adorable dog's owner! They get to appreciate the whining, crying and barking without being about to do anything about it. All day. All night. Whenever the owner decides to go out or the canine cutie decides to cut up.

I love dogs. I don't have one because I live in an apartment. Dogs - especially puppies - do not belong in apartments.

Thanks, Dollface Troll!
