Owner Flaunts Dog's Types of Ears in Hilarious Video
A hilarious video of a dog owner capturing their Goldador, a Golden Retriever and Labrador mix dog, showing off different types of ears, has left the internet in stitches. On May 16, the parent of the adorable canine shared the video on the Instagram account @fingersthegoldador. The video showed the dog making a wide range of hilarious ear gestures, and each one of them is funnier than the last. A video on Instagram showing a dog owner giving funny names to various 'ear shapes' made by their Goldador dog named Fingers has gone viral on social media. In the caption of the post, the cute pooch's owner humorously wrote, 'His special talent is making new ear shapes.' The above-mentioned video, which is the second part of another compilation clip, gave a close look at the dog. The on-screen text on the clip read, 'Types of ears my dog has and what I have named them,' and soon enough, the video showed Fingers making his 'Pinky up ear.' The dog then went on to flaunt his 'Colonial wig ears.' Thereafter came the turn of 'Worm ear.' The owner also captured the canine showing off his 'Checkmark ear.' The pet parent hilariously named another ear gesture of the dog 'Disapp-ears' as they almost vanished. Finally, the video concluded with the Goldador demonstrating a 'Hail a cab ear.' The video has garnered a lot of positive reactions from fellow dog lovers who couldn't stop themselves from loving all these unique ear shapes and their hilarious names. In the comment section, one person revealed their favorite ear shape of the dog, declaring, 'The pinky up ear is my favorite.' Meanwhile, another Instagram user praised all the ears and thought, 'Now these are great.' Another person's comment read, 'Love all types of ears,' while a different commenter stated, 'Omg sooo cute.' The post Owner Flaunts Dog's Types of Ears in Hilarious Video appeared first on DogTime.

Video: Dog Knows He's Carrying a Stick He Isn't Supposed To
Dogs can be really random at times with their shenanigans, leaving their owners surprised. We have often seen this innocent species bringing strange things home, sometimes a ball or a dirty shoe. A viral clip on social media captured a pooch named Bonzai engaged in a similar activity. The video showed the dog bringing a stick home, which he wasn't supposed to. A user named @mybonzaiboy took to their Instagram to share a video of their dog bringing a stick home against the owner's wishes. The profile created by the hooman is dedicated to sharing the hilarious and important moments of a German Shorthaired Pointer. The pet is fondly called Bonzai boy. In the above clip, the dog is seen holding a stick in his mouth and getting into the owner's car. The car is seen in a forest area, which means the canine probably picked the fallen stick from the ground. The dog's owner hilariously writes on the video, 'When you know you aren't supposed to bring sticks home.' The pet parent even shares how the dog is aware of this rule as they write in the caption of the post, 'You can tell he knows because he wouldn't look at me.' Bonzai grabbing the stick despite the owner's rule proves his rebellious and mischievous nature. Besides, dogs enjoy playing with random things that they find on roads or in parks. This also proves how these innocent creatures can find their source of happiness or entertainment in anything. This adorable video has garnered over 629K views, 21K likes, 360 comments, and more than 4K shares. Users also shared their hilarious reactions to the clip in the comment section. One user wrote, 'Poor baby needs his stick!!!' while another user noted, 'I love the he just sneaks right in there so perfectly and didn't touch a thing with that big stick!!!!' Additionally, a third commenter said, 'He is ready to go home with his stick. Nice find.' The post Video: Dog Knows He's Carrying a Stick He Isn't Supposed To appeared first on DogTime.

Pets will never replace babies even though they're easier option for millennials… or this country will go to the dogs
WE all know someone who is a 'pet parent', don't we. Those who cherish and adore their dog 'fur babies', who puts their needs before their own and constantly spoils them. 7 7 It's a bond that should be cherished. After all they are man — and woman's — best friends. But our obsession for dogs is, incredibly, threatening the future of our country. A new academic report has shown that many people are actually avoiding having babies because they see dogs as 'their children' instead. Which is absolutely barking. This report, published in the journal European Psychologist, helps explain why our birth rate is declining. It says pets are fulfilling 'a nurturing drive similar to parenting, but with fewer demands than raising biological offspring'. Pet parents are even choosing dogs with 'infant-like features' such as large eyes, small noses and rounder faces. In other words, they look like babies. It's our millennials — those aged 29 to 36, who are in their peak baby-making years — who think a dog's life is the perfect, and only, way for them. How sad that they have already ditched any plans for real-life babies while their biological clocks are still firmly ticking. But I get it. I was very nearly one of them. Heartwarming moment pet owner cries with joy as he reunites with lost dog at burned LA home after thinking he was dead There were points, when me and the Geordie struggled to become human parents, that I truly thought our Boxer dog Layla was actually enough for me. We chose our wedding venue so she could be there, Layla has her own Instagram account and she often eats better food than we do. I have spent more than a year's salary just keeping her alive with operations on her legs and eye, scans for her kidney disease, hideously expensive medication for her allergies and when she had cancer last year we even paid for her to have chemotherapy. I couldn't love her any more than I do. But I will always be grateful that we became human parents too. Because I now know with complete certainty that being a mum to a dog just can't be compared. Different love, different interactions, different aspirations, different everything. It is on a different plane. I feel lucky that I have them both. Not everyone can have a child. And some never want one. There's no reason they should. But if you were contemplating parenthood it can these days seem like being one to a pet is the easier option. Less complicated While kids are stuffed into expensive nurseries, dogs are allowed to trot into the office and never leave your side. You see dogs in prams, in baby carriers. They are allowed in B&Q, Waterstones and John Lewis. We barely have to leave them at home. In Italy this week they ruled that large dogs can even sit next to their pet parents on planes. They are cheaper, easier, less complicated. But if the number of fur babies increases we must make sure that they, just like our kids, have boundaries. Because not everybody loves dogs — some are scared, others are allergic to them. I've seen an owner let their dog sprawl in the aisle of a train as passengers were forced to step over him, another who let their pooch stand on a table in a pub. If I allowed my six-year-old to do that there would — rightly — be outrage. I hope that those who are thinking of making one their entire family — instead of part of it — don't regret that decision in the long run. And I hope that as they raise them they try to realise that regardless of their love for their fur baby, it can never truly replace a human. Because if they do not, this country really will go to the dogs. Let 'em Loose again AS the chaos surrounding daytime TV emerged this week, I decided – for the purpose of research – to watch some recent episodes of Loose Women. It was the first time I'd seen it in about two decades, not because I am averse to daytime TV, but because when it is on I am usually at work. I discovered not a lot has changed – the same format, the same arrival into the studio as though they're bursting on to Stars In Their Eyes and outfits that make them look like fruit Skittles. But the major difference is that they are no longer 'loose women'. The show now appears scripted, staged and stale – full of woke opinions with a dose of fake shrieking. Which is a shame. Sadly, it is no surprise bosses want to cut down the episodes. But what they should have done is revamped it before shoving a gaping hole in the lives of all those who see it as part of their essential daily routine. Or, you know, actually allowed the presenters to do their jobs properly to pull in viewers and be what they're supposed to be – loose women. Every litter helps THE idea of Tesco setting up a wedding list sounds like a sensible one – after all, 'every little helps' doesn't it? So many couples live together be-fore they tie the knot, so they usually have their fill of tea towels and mugs before the big day arrives. But there's just something unromantic about a wedding gift package that includes bin bags, antibacterial hand wash and loo rolls, isn't there? And imagine only being able to remember what great aunt Margaret bought you as a gift because you're sitting on the loo. Ben serves beefcake – your turn next, Jamie BEN SHEPHARD is the latest middle-aged man to prove that they're not over the hill at 50. He looks amazing. Fans loved him stripping off for Men's Health. Ben is the newest star to hit the milestone and pack in the protein and the intense gym routines to transform their bodies and get a rippling six- pack. He follows in the shirt-stripping antics of 50-year-olds David Beckham, Jamie Lomas and Idris Elba. Now you've got to wonder who's next. Jamie Oliver hits that milestone on Tuesday. And if anybody was going to do it, you'd imagine it would be The Naked Chef. No pressure, Jamie. Becks rift is so sad 7 THE fallout between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents is sad. Not because they are in the spotlight or because they are rich and famous, but because any family fallout is unpleasant. And now this rift appears to have rippled up to Brooklyn's grandparents, because last Sunday he failed to wish his grandad Tony Adams, Victoria's father, a happy birthday. Which is so sad considering they were once so close. It's not because Brooklyn has lost the ability to use social media. The week before, he posted to mark the anniversary of the death of his wife Nicola's grandmother saying how he misses her 'every day'. It may be wise for Brooklyn to remember how heartbroken he is about her when thinking of his own family. As the saying goes, you should never go to sleep on an argument. Because none of us ever know what the future holds. A real shock MOLLY-MAE HAGUE might be a reality star, but she appears to have actually lost her grip on reality. After a flight from Dubai and a seven- hour hair appointment, she got leg pain and thought she had a blood clot, so went to A&E. It was 'packed', a 'sad environment' with such a long queue she headed home. She was forced to return, still in pain the next day. And she came back to Planet Earth.
