Please, please, please, please, please vaccinated your dog. Please. I beg you. If you love them. If you care about them. For your dog’s own sake, please vaccinate them.

    I have heard people talking completely seriously about their concerns over giving their dogs autism from vaccinations.

    Some people should be made to apologize to every tree they come across for flagrantly wasting the oxygen they so kindly provide us.

      Seriously. What the hell is dog autism? I don’t know a dog out there that is able to understand social cues and most of them don’t want to look you in the eye.

        You’ve never heard of it because in the industry it’s referred to as “daugtism”

        My dog has ADHD (aka being a lurcher). Isn’t a dog with autism basically a cat in a more doofus body?

        Okay but you know those are just stereotypes, ASDs come in all shapes and sizes, and people with ASDs often don’t display those symptoms?

        I’m honestly quite suspicious that people who think their dogs have autism actually just have autism themselves.

          Not nice to associate autistic people with idiots like that.

          Interestingly, autistics are FAR better with animals than people. Their emotions are far less convoluted, and so easier to read. A lot of autistics find they can read and connect with animals in a way they simply can’t with humans.

      Unrelated to the vaccine conversation: I think my dog might have dog autism, truthfully. He’s an awesome sweet weird little guy!

      One time he fell in love with a tree for about a week. There was nothing in it and he would just sit and stare up into it rather than play at the dog park.

      Earlier today my partner and I ran into him with his dog walker and he didn’t recognize us.

      He doesn’t seem to like most petting but loves his ears gently stroked and thinks everyone else does, too. So if he likes you he will go out of his way to lick your ears. It bothers him when my hat covers mine.

      If you put a blanket over his head he will lie down and fall asleep rather than try to get out from under it.
