Socorro, a border collie mix born 12/12/15, and her adventures in Eugene, OR.

Lets play

Top 3 breeds you will definitely want to own during your lifespan?

Top 3 breeds you love but cant ever own, and why you cant?

Top 3 breeds you would rather put legos in your socks than own?

Alaskan Malamute, German Shepherd, Hungarian Mudi (tied with Saluki. IT DEPENDS, there are no mudis in my country, it is my long term goal to one day import a pair and breed them, but if that never happens, then saluki!)

Husky (too good at escaping) cavaliers (too many health issues) and dalmatians for the same reason.

Pug, French Bulldog, English Bulldog. the brachy breeds basically.

Golden Retriever, English Cocker, 10 million more Springers

Silken Windhounds, do they even exist in Australia?? Border collies, so wonderful but they would be smarter than me French Bulldogs, expensive!!! And unhealthy

Malinois/German shepherd, Husky, Sausage Dog

Springer spaniel, silken windhound, Nova Scotia Duck tolling retriever. Ideal pack +my border collie!

Standard poodle (I don’t have it in me to do that level of grooming) Labrador (they’re just so bonky! And Big! And excited about everything! I cannot keep up) golden retriever (cancer :( )

Corgis, huskys, german shepherds (I’m sorry! I know these are a lot of your dogs and they’re all good dogs, i just think corgis are like stressed looking sausages and huskys are a little intense for me and german sheps sort of frighten me a little for some reason)

Stealing horseblrs gif game where you post the first gif that shows up under your pet’s name because I can

Thistle:

Thyme:

Dusty:

Hopscotch:

!!!

Gunner:

And I can already guess that Asher’s will be from How to Get Away with Murder:

I WAS WRONG? WHO ARE THESE MEN

Chillermo and his secondary names return nothing. So I’ll go with la Mancha:

somebody mixed up their musicals, it seems

Toph:

Zelda:

Porscha:

??? it’s tagged empire which i haven’t seen yet 

I WANT TO PLAY.

Not sure what will come up for Lio:

Um

Let’s try “Emilio”

Don’t get this reference either. Kinda disappointed it didn’t turn up a gif of Emilio Estevez. The Estevez fandom needs to up its game.

And for my future tiny fawn greyhound gal:

I’m on mobile and for some reason can’t add text below a gif? But Regulus and Vega respectively

I don't know why this is the first one for Socorro but I literally love it so much

‘Our Land - Traversing Oregon’ is a story of an overland journey across Oregon’s highly varied public lands, to highlight the qualitative and quantitative value of such areas, in light of recent political developments that are threatening to take them away.

This is my home! Protect her

Pls help

Seriously though if anyone has cleaning tips I need to get this poop out of this carpet asap and I’m not sure how to even start

If I were you i would use a carpet cleaner, can you rent one near you? Like a carpet shampooer.

If you can't do that, I'm not positive this will work with THIS MUCH POOP but I would first clean up all the chunks, and then I would get a scrub brush and some nice smelling soap and warm water and scrub and scrub and scrub and pat it as dry as I could with a towel and then I would pour like several boxes of baking soda all over it, spray lightly with vinegar, let it dry completely and then vacuum it up. And then I would take a dry scrub brush to it, to knock any remaining baking powder lose, and then vacuum again.

It looks like it's not super shaggy carpet so you have that going for you at least.

I need to cut the nails on Cora's last paw except after quicking her last time I'm scared and I'm sure she will be too.

Anonymous asked:

Why are you thinking about getting a second dog when you can't even pay the vet bills for the first one right now? Don't get me wrong I know that they can mount up but if you're having to ask for help for the first ones vet bills then it seems pretty irresponsible to be thinking about a second one.

I mean.. I've been thinking about a year from now, minimum. It's just fun to think about. Doesn't pretty much all of dogblr fantasize in some way about their next dog? But I can't have a second dog in my current rental, and yeah, the vet bills. I'm not stupid. But good on you for making assumptions.

I quicked Cora while cutting her nails

😭😣😖 she bled so much. I felt so bad. I wrapped it in gauze and then when it bled through that I stuffed it in corn meal and that worked. I heard it would bleed badly if you quicked it but that was extreme

Here, have some happy Cora stories since everything I post about her has been sad lately:

On rainy mornings when she gets wet, she sits on the back of the couch where the heat vent blows warm air to get warm and dry again. She can't handle being breathed on. If she's dead asleep and I roll over and my breath hits her, she's awake and moving away from me in 30 seconds. When she's deeply happy to see you she'll grunt and groan, and if you groan back she'll be thrilled, because you just said "I love you" in her own language.

If I paid for an X-ray of Cora’s kidneys (and other things) but the kidneys were what I was really wanting to know about, and they didn’t tell me to fast her or anything, and they couldn’t see her kidneys because there was stuff in her colon, do I have any capacity to ask them to do the X-rays again at no or low cost because they didn’t actually get the results I paid for?
