Cuddle croissant on my legs ❤️

When we adopted Cynthie just over a year ago the people at the rescue centre asked us “so…are you thinking you’ll take her?” after twenty minutes of careful getting to know each other.

And I stared blankly at them because as far as I was concerned the meetings were for introductions and working out if there were major problems - like if she was terrified of my mobility devices that I can’t move around without and couldn’t stand being around them - and none had arisen. And they told me three former potential adopters had turned her down for “not liking people enough” because she took some time - think 10-20 minutes! - to start getting to know them.

This girl had been horribly abused and neglected, as a puppy too, and had contracted a pretty horrible intestinal parasite it took her months of meds to get clear of, and was clearly finding kennel life tough. And she was curious about my rollator, and within 20 minutes she was snuffling my hands and wanting belly rubs.

And this is her after 14 months with us. She is my sweet Velcro girl.

And it’s not been effortless. She needs three decent walks a day and I’m disabled (luckily my OH does two of them minimum) or she starts getting bored and wanting to chew things. It took us a few weeks to work out the balance of how much exercise she needed minimum, and to work on “these are good things to chew, like toys and bones, and these are *dangerous* things to chew, like cables”.

We took her to Dog’s Trust adolescent puppy training classes to work on chewing and recall so she could get off the lead in the park, and in the meantime we took her to an enclosed dog park we had to drive to as there’s none local to us, and to an indoor doggie soft play place because she *really* needs social time with other pups.

And most of these are things you should do with a puppy you get from a breeder. They aren’t born toilet trained! At least safety training (“drop” for dangerous things and “come” for recall) are essential basics.

Much like kids, and indeed humans of all ages, dogs have needs that will cause problems if they aren’t met. Those needs vary a bit depending on the dog’s size, age, type and personality. Again, like humans.

Please don’t get a dog without making *sure* you can meet those needs. And, if you can, please rescue.

We are in a horrendous dog rescue crisis atm, and a *lot* of that is due to the cost of living crisis. People are losing their homes and temporary accommodation, hostels, shelters etc often won’t take dogs. None of that is anyone’s fault (other than landlords and capitalists ofc).

But I’m still seeing a *lot* of folk spending enormous amounts of money on puppies. And yes, sometimes folk have good reasons for that; a lot of rescues won’t adopt to folk with young children, sometimes people need to train service dogs from early in their lives etc etc. This isn’t shaming individuals; I don’t know your individual circumstances. It’s a plea, if you are thinking about getting a puppy, that you *consider* rescuing instead.

If you’d like a particular breed, the shelters have literally never been fuller of purebred pups whose lives are in imminent danger because pounds and shelters are *full*. If you want a puppy, please think hard about *why* rather than an adult dog, because cute tiny furballs grow up fast and need a lot of training, but you can still ask at shelters about that too. One of my best friends and her partners went to a shelter last year expecting to adopt an older dog and came away with a sighthound puppy from a litter that had been dumped and the shelter had raised.

If an individual shelter is awful to you for disability reasons, please do not be discouraged from asking elsewhere. I was really worried after a friend of mine looking to adopt a dog found a particular breed shelter on social media being incredibly disableist about *autistic* people, for some reason (it was very clear from reading their posts they had very little idea about what autism actually is) and this made me panic horribly that any shelter would see me with my mobility devices and immediately turn me away. Actually the three different ones we checked in with in the process of adopting Cynthie were nothing but helpful and welcoming, and others in other parts of the UK, the US and Australia have been the same in the past year to friends with disabilities as diverse as MS, fibromyalgia and schizophrenia.

Obviously you know your own life and your own circumstances best. This is only a request to *consider* rescue. Right now, you are *very* much saving a dog’s life by doing so.

Imagine your werewolf lover, who was now shifted thanks to a full moon, waking you up by whining. You open your eyes to see your actual dog taking their regular sleeping spot on the bed.

'He's in my spot!' The werewolf whines putting on their best puppy-dog eyes. 'Get him out!' They huff, putting their head next to yours with their eyes somehow getting bigger as to try and convince you to kick your dog out of their spot.

What a big baby.

They're confused the next morning as they wake up at the foot of your bed.

One of the many reasons Shadow respects Amy so much is because she always takes the time to look at his photos of rescue kittens

You get it! I could kiss your brain!❤️💋✨

National Pawrents’ Day

Omg! It is coming up! July 28, 2024!

National Parents Day. Or, National Parent’s Day. Or, National Parents’ Day.

So, a big shoutout to all our pawrents out there giving our furry friends a lovely home filled with adventure and lots of stinky (in the best way possible) vibes. Put those paws together for a huge appaws!

Every day for our little friends is pawrents day, so, it may not seem too different from their end. They will still show all their love, give kisses, snuggle up on the couch and maybe steal your socks. They’re the best.

How do you plan to celebrate this amazing adventure in your life?! A picnic at the park?! Dog friendly mocktails?! A trip to the local brewery?! Or, maybe just a quiet day watching a movie with the family with everyone on their favorite cushion?!

Whatever it is, we hope you have a wonderful day! You deserve it! Want to share it with us? Tag us on your Instagram story! @cornchipdogcollective

Not a pawrent but know one in your life? Want to get them a gift but not sure exactly what to give? We offer gift cards! Also, check out a local shelter/rescue for any furry friends who need a home!

Have a great day, all! You rock!

<3,

CCDC

Day 4/366:

She will always be the #1 girl and it’s hard not being able to give Nala walks yet as she needs her last Parvo shot before she goes and explores the world. Until then I will enjoy the mellow walks with my senior dog.
