who gets fit with their four legged friends?

My dog is a little pussy who gets scared when I deadlift. That said, she's super cute.

>tfw no pets
>to worried I might fuck up and not give it the care it needs
>worried that my job will cause me to not take care of it enough

I don't know how you fucks can work 8+ hours and take care of a dog/cat. especially if they are a puppy or a kitten.

Post pics of your pooch :3

Don't have any recent pics. This is when we first got her. She essentially looks the same but with slightly longer fur.

Someone chime in here. I want a dog but I'm too busy

I cried like a bitch for the rest of the day.

I have lots of stories about spinner that I’ll probably share with you guys. He was the Chaddest dog I’ve ever met

>doing memelifts

>neighbors live a few miles away through woods
these are pacific northwest coyote infested woods (grandma had 2 cats go missing and watched a her dog get mauled by a pack of them a few years back)
>spinner don’t care
>walks between our houses like it’s nothing
>neighbors H A T E him
>either chase him away by throwing gravel or drive him back up to my house
>one day neighbor is in a hurry to go to work
>has a freshly made sandwich sitting on the dashboard of his car
>forgot his wallet, ran in the house
>left car door open
>when he steps outside he sees a little white dog in the front seat with his sandwich in his mouth
>”...spinner... put the sandwich down”
>spinner turns his head at neighbor and stares for a moment before booting away
>”GOD DAMNIT YOU PIECE OF CRAP DOG”
my neighbor was a good sport about it though and now thinks it was hilarious

>go jogging with my cat

Get on my level

>go horseback riding on Mt Baker
>decide to bring spinner
>trail is pretty precarious and rocky
>I’m shitting my pants watching spinner chase marmots in the rocks
>literally hopping from boulder to boulder while the little rodents dart into holes in the rocks
>30 ft drop if he falls
>I thank god when we get to flat ground again
>further down the line a stream cuts through the trails
this doesn’t look so bad
>walk right through it
>horses barely get there bellies wet
>look back too see spinner floating downstream as he doggy paddles towards us
>he’s moving to a literal fucking waterfall
>10 fest away from his death he trots out of the water and shakes himself off
>keeps trekking forward like nothing happened
I made sure to carry him over on the way back

Cats are some of the best pets, the only people who say otherwise can't train their pets for shit

I think cats do not need much care, just make sure they have enough food for the day, and you can forget about them for that day.

Are you one of those arab fellas in the gymnasium with shrimp legs and huge biceps and pecs?

>at campsite on Mt Baker
>walking to a stream to fill up water
>spinner follows behind me
>kneeling down while my bottle slowly fills in the running water
>directly across the strea
>a fucking porcupine walking parralel to the water
>turn around to grab spinner
>too late
>he sees it
>chases it into the woods
>moments later hear a yell
>spinner limps back to camp
>head hung low
>can barely see his face with so many spines stuck in him
>spend the rest of the day pulling out quills with plyers
getting them out of his face was easy, pulling them out of his throat was hard
>walking back down the trail days later
>head rustling behind me
>spinner disappears into bushes
>another yelp
>white dog covered in quills limps out of the trees
(sorry I don’t have a lot of pictures of him on my new phone so here’s some of my other dogs)

I encouraged my rabbit to climb things, and run up and down stairs until it turned in to a 7lb strong-fat ball of muscle.

I have a whippet and a spoodle

The whippet is a total bro and would run with me perfectly no matter my speed, never stopping or getting distracted.

The spoodle on the other hand is the total opposite.

>my whippets face when we have to bring the spoodle out with us on walks twice a day

Dogs can sense shit, humans can't. Let us know when you go to snap city and thank your dog for the warnings.

These stories are great ty

I love spinner already, too bad me and my sister are allergic, never had a dog.

I have a dog I take for runs. She's 7 years old and starting to slow down, we start off with her running in front but after 6km she is 100 metres behind.

Does it count as cardio if I hold one of these in my hand?

My pulse jumps to like 140 so it counts I guess.

Cats are health at every size tier when it comes to effort and responsibility. It's genuinely just pet them when they're attention whores and make sure their bowl is full. They sleep like 16+ hours a day high test as fuark

Dogs are a responsibility but daily/bidaily couple mile walks are the bulk of it. If you live in an apartment it might be shitty because you don't have a yard but if you do you'll be fine.

t. golden lab puppy and work 12+ hour shifts

I kinda want a German Shepard, Doberman or Boxer to help defending the house and to have someone to go out running with. But first I want a gf and at least one kid.

She's a doll

The proportions of that dog are weird. Big body and small legs.

Boxers are fun but they need a lot of attention and they're very energetic.

If you have a dog, and it’s well-kept, it signals to other people that you are a responsible adult who can take care of children. This will help you find a gf.

>Took my sister's Pomeranian on a run
>It nearly passed out from a heat stroke

No more.

I've got one of these cunts, his name is Puffy

>pussy dog
Forget that waste of flesh. Get a man's dog like a German Shepard.

This is my jack Russell, he's a retard and a mommas boy but I love him the same

>tfw only have plants

Terrible running buddy, believe me.

Picking up my new puppy Saturday.

Cute, but why name it Saturday?

I live in my fifth wheel during the summer and have a shit load of open area to run around with my Shepard. I've taken her on HIIT sessions before. She was laying underneath a tree have way through our last set the last time we did it. It'll wear them out a bit.

Here's a pic from a couple months back of my little pup. She might be retarded though

>sitting at home one weekend
>can see spinner slowly walking up driveway in the distance
>as he gets closer realize he’s dragging something
>he’s pulling a bowl up the road
>a bowl filled to the brim with dog food
>takes it to his bed in the car port and naps
>I don’t even have neighbors with dogs

turns out spinner also took care of the rats on the farm. we have a barn car and always assumed she was killing them, but as spinner got older more and more rats started showing up. turns out the cat has been wondering to neighbors to get fed for years.
>tfw spinner is better at being a cat than a cat

>cows on my property drink from a pond
>pretty small
>about 80x60 feet
>one day
>skipping rocks with buddies
>out of nowhere
>spinner comes running behind us
>dives into the murky water
>swims the perimeter of the water
>looking for the rock I just threw
>thinks it was a stick
>I call him but he doesn’t stop
>he wants that stick
>eventually throw an actual stick in for him to grab so he’ll come out
>soaking wet dirty dog
>time for a bath
>wash him up sparkly clean
>put him outside to dry
>he darts off toward the cow field
>comes back covered in mud and filth

here’s a picture of him I took the day we put him down :(

I’m glad you guys like them. Spinner was actual pretty infamous around where I lived. we took him to the vet once to check out what we thought were tumors. turns out he had BB pellets lodged under his skin.

>go on family vacation

>the girl working at the pound actually recognized spinner walking along the highway near anacortes
I live on whidbey island if that’s any reference
>picked him up
>locked him in the pound bathroom so he wouldn’t be processed (potentially euthanized)
>open the door
>he darts out
>on his back legs jumping two feet in the air repeatedly
>pick him up and let him lick my face

he was a good boy

>not curling your dog

letting him lick my face reminds me of another one
>butchering a few cattle
>shot in head in arena right outside my house

>Mom walks in garage to grab a can of food
>spinner sneaks in

>pet pat petting
>he stretches and groans
>shifts his body and licks my face
I’m never going to forget this to this day
>the most putrid odor
>raw beef
>blood
>shit
>all stewed together inside the stomach of a small animal
>licking my face
>throw him off me and turn on the light
>his fur is stained red
>don’t know if I want to scream or vomit
>put him outside and wash him with a house
I looked in the arena the next day and there was still a 3 inch deep pool of blood.
pic related. they made the pool

>bathes in the blood of lesser animals
>still goes to lick your face
Fuckin spinner, what a chad

lucky basterd

Whats a good doggo that has enough energy to run with 3 times a week but doesnt need hours of daily exercise? I dont want some lazy shit dog, but i also dont want a dog thats gonna take more time than i can afford and go crazy.

>Australian Shepard
all the athleticism of a German Shepard, but has a much softer bite. Playful like a lab, but is more content to sleep for hours a day. honestly these are the best dogs

my spotter

Good boy

I run with my pooch frequently
