Pets

The main reason that I didn't make it to the Iron Heart party this year was because I got myself a dog. This is Disco, he's a Peruvian Inca Orchid.

He's currently about four months old, and probably about the size of a Whippet. Like his owner, he's also completely bald.

@Graeme this is a truly unique dog!! Looks like you’ve got yourself a cool new buddy!

I traveled to Peru some years back and I was surprised to see this breed of dog all over the place. Street dogs even! Truly a Peruvian breed through and through.

So many good dogs and cats here
Chicken has given his approval to the new leather jacket

@Nik chicken is a cool dude. That jacket is so rad.

[Mizmazzle]

@Nik is Chicken’s name chicken because he’s a scaredy cat?

We’re watching a fiend’s dog right now. Her name is Abby Chicken and she is scared of everything!! She lays in the closet all day hiding under a shelf. Only comes out to eat and say hi when we get home. Then right back under the shelf to hide. She loves to sleep in bed with us…but mostly hides all day and won’t even go hang out in the yard with our dogs. Makes me kinda sad how much anxiety she has. She is super sweet though.

We love our Rosie girl

she's a beauty

[Oaktavia]

@endo yes she is and silly too

@Mizmazzle My wife wanted to name our dog Chicken before we even got him for a few reasons, but mostly just instinct. He is more stubborn than cowardly, and sometimes squares up to bigger dogs, which reflects either an intelligence deficit or a fear response of aggression, I'm never completely sure. Mostly though he wants to play with other dogs in the park.

Bet it was great to get back to her @Oaktavia did she pee in excitement?

[Graeme]

@Mizmazzle I didn't realise that the breed is found as street dogs in Peru. They are considered a national treasure in their home country, and they retain genetic markers from the dogs that came over the land bridge from Siberia with the Native Americans.

Disco is a good dog, despite having a somewhat cursory relationship with obedience!

Would be impossible but hella cool have a forum dog park hang lol. So cool seeing everyone’s dogs on here and be rad af see them all in person.

[goosehd]

@Nik Wholeheartedly agree with your write up on his personality and we (Laura, kids, and I) think he is one of the coolest small dogs we have ever met!

[Oaktavia]

@Nik haha yes it was we missed her so much and yes she did

[Nik]

Gotta express that ecstatic love somehow

[Mizmazzle]

@Graeme well the interesting thing was that all the street dogs we saw looked just like that. There didn’t seem to be much of a mix of breeds. We were always in small villages when we saw the dogs, so there is a very good chance they had homes and were just roaming free as is often the case.

My kiddos. 3 and 9 year old Vizsla psychopaths. They are crazy, but I wouldn't want it any other way.
