A wild Cowboy blooms on July 5

Congrats to all the fellow dog fams for making it through the 4th! This poor guy would not step outside at all yesterday. Even his tiny Shiba Inu sister at least went into the yard. He’s still a little out of it thanks to some special peanut butter he had yesterday. Normally he’s a tornado of energy and I can’t believe I’m even saying this but I actually miss the chaos. May all of your sky boom decompressions be quick and restorative!

Does anyone ever just wonder what are they thinking?! I’m pretty sure Lenny has no thoughts…

Just adopted from county shelter.

Her name is Muriel. They said she's about 1 year old and a catahoula leopard dog. They also counseled us on her eyes and potential issues. The on-site vet overseeing her said she checks out health-wise and can see just fine, even with slight strabismus. I wanted to ask if anyone has any suggestions about potential jobs or tasks we can give her, toys that keep yours busy that we can try, food suggestions (we have her on the salmon blend Taste of the Wild) etc. Any information on their care is welcomed. We are new to this breed and fell in love with her when we met her.

Impulse control

This might be a long shot. What are people doing that actually works to build impulse control enough to have your houla off-leash?

My boy has just turned 1 (recently desexed) Houla X amstaff.

Instead of bolting off after a scent, animal or running up on a dog/child he's excited to meet I've managed to get him to sit. Depending on the distance I can get him to keep walking but getting his attention away from whatever he's focused on is like talking to a brick wall for the most part. I reward him when he looks away/back at me or keeps walking but this doesn't seem to be doing much. He either sits there staring like a concrete block until whatever it is moves on or if he keeps walking with me he nearly breaks his neck to look at the thing.

The goal is to eventually get him to the point he can go to the off-leash beaches but at the moment not possible.

I don't want him running up on anyone (particularly children) or running off into the bush after wildlife

My Handsome Boy!

He’s a 9 year old I adopted from the shelter a few months ago! He’s great with kids but needs to learn not everyone’s out to hurt his people, he is VERY protective. His favorite thing to do is burp in your face and hit you with his huge paws.

Rehoming Catahoula Help

We have had our lovely girl Luna since she was 6 weeks old. She loves to snuggle on the sofa/bed, go on long walks, hikes, and eat all the delicious food that falls on the floor. She can be anxious when getting groomed or during thunderstorms/fireworks, but with cuddles her anxiety improves. We have loved her for 6 years, traveled with her, watched movies together, etc. However, it saddens me that we haven’t been able to give her the attention and care she needs for some time. In early 2025 I had my first baby, who we found out is very allergic to dogs when he started crawling. She is a dog that needs love and attention, but because we have been trying to make sure they are separated, she truly hasn’t been able to and is very sad. We have tried many things, from getting a robot vacuum, air purifiers, medicating our son, etc. But, his allergy has only worsened. We are devastated, but she deserves a life we can no longer provide her. We hope to find someone who will love her just as we have.

We currently live in Brambleton, VA and you can contact me via text (786) 280 -4702 if you or if you know any wonderful person that would be interested in our sweet girl.

I have set up an application for her on adopt a pet and home to home as well, but no luck. A few applications, but everyone backs out/changes their mind.

Recently celebrated 1 year gotcha day with Tina!

I don’t know if we are allowed custom flairs but if we are I would love a “Labahoula” flair

Major

How many Catahoulas have ya'll saw that wants to tote a stuffed animal in their mouth everywhere they go. I have saw him chase the mailman with a teddy bear in his mouth. He has never tore so much as a tag or a button off of any of them. He has lost a lot of them though..he takes them out rarely brings them in I find stuff animals laying all over the pasture. He llkes to tote them for some reason
