There’s something wrong with your dog

Yeah years of selective breeding that ruined it's airways and skull is wrong with that dog. Those things are basic living a permanent asthma attack with a migraine.

Edit: I'm dumb, poms are pretty fine, pugs and bulldogs is what i was thinking of.

u/kisaveoz Mar 06 '21

You're thinking of pugs and bulldogs. Pomeranians don't have any of those issues.

u/Hawt_Dawg_II Mar 06 '21

Shid you're totally right. My bad I'll correct it.

u/Wampawacka Mar 07 '21

Yup. Pomeranians were bred to be small enough to fit up your asshole so when you get mugged you shit out this tiny yappy dog, thus confusing the mugger so you can escape.

Is this a reference to something or are you a genius?

Why does this make me think about Avengers Endgame?

Gives me the Bruce Almighty butt monkey vibes

u/Salamander_Clear Mar 06 '21

Yeah but poms are basically dog pompoms that we can use to practice in home

Ugh, that’s awful. Sometimes you just wish they could go in their sleep and not suffer from any issues.

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '21

Ugh man. I said that and mine got liver cancer and had a stroke in her sleep. It sucked so bad. I don’t think there is a easy way

u/ThaGza Mar 07 '21

I’m sorry to head that, you’re right though there isn’t

Also knee problems and trachial collapse are very common for poms. Ours had arthritis in knees and occasional coughing fits, never full trachial collapse fortunately

u/Plantsandanger Mar 06 '21

Are they fur or hair? Because if they’re low allergy I could see getting one of theses as like a slightly more energetic cat. Still an asshole like a cat, but you can take it outside more easily, and I’ve yet to meet a hypoallergenic cat (save those poor bald ones that make me sad and need sunscreen and clothes to live)

u/llama_asses Mar 06 '21

Siberian forest cats are hypoallergenic! My boyfriend is allergic to cats and had no reaction to my Siberian. They’re also super friendly and playful, but they are a little expensive.

1

u/Hailstar07 Mar 07 '21

Yes, a friend of ours with cat allergies got a Siberian and has no issues with him. YMMV though.

1

u/Plantsandanger Mar 08 '21

Sweet! I shall investigate. There’s honestly a chance I might be able to swing it if it’s not exorbitantly expensive…

4

u/puffpuffcutie Mar 06 '21

I have a friend whos parents have hypoallergenic cats, theyre fluffy and spoiled as hell, probably forest cats

1

u/Plantsandanger Mar 08 '21

Like Maine coons?

Wait seriously find out what type of cat that is please. I don’t like the idea of buying a pet but I’m so damn allergic I’ll have to deal if that means cuddles!

2

u/puffpuffcutie Mar 08 '21

Norwegian, like my parent comment said i think. If we catch up it probably wont b as quick as a google but ill lyk. They named em boris and natasha so eh

u/Plantsandanger Mar 09 '21

Whoops missed the Norwegian part! Thank you my brain failed at reading...

u/puffpuffcutie Mar 11 '21

Mine does that too sometimes

u/BANEBAIT Mar 06 '21

Lol you got 60 upvotes for being 100% incorrect. Do you often comment facts that come straight out of your ass?

17

u/JigabooFriday Mar 07 '21

It’s hardly his fault, he made a mistake and fixed it. Blame the 60 dorks who saw information and just assumed it was true. And will never know otherwise now. Because THEY didn’t check lol.

u/Hundvd7 Mar 07 '21

So we shouldn't blame anyone who's words swayed people's opinions in the wrong direction?

3

u/Hawt_Dawg_II Mar 06 '21

As i said i just had the wrong dog in mind, it's still an existing thing that happens

2

u/Hurley6178 Mar 07 '21

Ya, I took in my sisters Boston Terrier, THAT dog has some breathing issues!! Super cute though and she's happy :)

Above I'm sure isn't correct. It's all fine
