leaving a dog, esp a large breed without being able to pee for even 8 hours is pretty much abusive.

It's better than if they were to be euthanized, but it's very stressful mentally and physically for the dog. It's no different than you trying to hold it for the same time.

I came in here specifically because I saw Alky had posted. I had to see how the hell he could shit on someone adopting a dog from the Humane Society. He never disappoints. I'd like to see how he would crap on the baby announcement thread.

HAHAHA funniest post i've read all day
 
Our Chihuahua sleeps in a crate for 7 hours a night and has yet to explode, get sick and or die because he had to pee.

Even when you take the crate outside and open the door in the morning he gets out in slow motion, stretches and often jumps on top of the crate and lays down again.

Just thought I'd add to the argument against the asshat.

Don't have me school you in the false claims you have made in the past.

i never said i was in love with her. i just said i was dating her and i posted the drama involved in trying to help her quit stripping (she said she wanted to, so i kept trying to help her).

you even know it wasn't a lie because your stalker ass went on myspace and found her myspace page, you stupid fuck.

I call shens. Regardless being a volunteer and having animal control friends doesn't give anyone any insist on canine biology.

RKS: I really don't think your brother-in-law 'the vet' knows you leave a dog unattended for 11 hours. Not all veternarians know nor care really though.

I have cats right now, I am gone a normal workday and work 5 miles from home.

When I have a dog he will either have access to outside during the day or I will make a trip home mid day....

This kind of advice and trying to categorize ones' self as an animal professional giving contradictory advice is bullshit like theflyingpig claiming he was a 25 year veternarian and tylenol was fine for dogs.

No matter how you cut it leaving a dog unattended for 11 hours is not proper care. Hire a freaking dog walker if you have too to come during the day.

My dog (that became my parents dog when I went to college) was inside for 8-9 hours a day while my parents were at work and my sister and I were at school. When we got home he never showed any immediate desire to go outside. He was much more concerned with getting his afternoon cup of food. If you tried to make him go outside to pee before you gave him his food he would get mad.

i had the mods get rid of the thread because you posted her myspace link in the forums, you twat.
 
UPDATE:

this dog's been ridiculous... he chews up everything. we don't have a yard, so i can't just let him out with my gf's dog (the great dane) to run around so he'll stop chewing. here are some things he's destroyed:

-my laptop
-my gf's desk
-my bike helmet (chewed to pieces as big as popcorn all over the garage)
-his kennel is bent to shit
-a bark collar (he managed to unclip it and chew it to death)
-the side of a music bench
-the stairs
-a photo album
-my gf's glasses
-a bunch of my gf's formal dresses
-my $150 pair of dress shoes

but i can't get rid of him... i'm too attached to him already.

here are updated pics:

Holy shit! That is some expensive stuff. I almost hate to ask how much all of that totals to? I would have sent that dog straight back if it had done that in my house.

well, great danes are known for being amazing apartment dogs. they love to spend energy outside, but they don't absolutely have to on a daily basis.

i think my dog is damaged from being in the pound or something. even whenever i take him out for runs and walks, he still comes home wanting to chew something. i dunno how to break him of that.
 
crate the dog when you can't supervise him until he gets out of that habit. This coming from a bulldog owner who has two dogs that will chew on anything and everything.

When you see him doing something like that. Help him to substitute with a kong or rawhide. Praise him when he chews on those. Hiding treats in the kong is a great incentive for them.

he doesn't really like kongs... i guess they don't give enough for him. we got him those tuff balls, you know, the extra tough tennis balls, and he fucking ate them. he chewed it for like 20 seconds before they popped in half, then he decided to chew them up and eat them.

hah, you should see his crate... it's bent up to the point where it can't close. he gets in there and barks his ass off and digs at the bottom and then grabs the bottom of the door and bends it up so he can try to crawl under it.

he's a strong son of a bitch.
 
we took him to the kennel two nights ago to spend the night... they came back home exhausted and perfect. he is worn out and so cute and compliant 🙂

i think i need to get a treadmill and keep his ass running on it for about an hour or so straight.

Chewing is normal, go buy him some rawhide bones.
