She lost a ball down there. After it was rescued she took it back under the bed.

I live with a little creature. She is right now under my bed grumbling and digging at a plastic box.

Playing with markers.

I think this is what dog people mean when they say "gay tail."

#i drew a buppy #no socks on her tho #this is what we joke her tail does when she walks

The thing about me is that I am constantly singing dumb little songs about my dog.

#the latest is This Flan Is My Flan

Okay so this is bothering me.

Doing research on tail docking I keep running across the claim that there was a tax in England on pet/non-working dogs, and docked tails were used as a way to show that a dog was used for work and thus exempt:

It sounds fine. It even makes sense when looking at dogs in England at the time that are docked versus ones that aren't.

But the thing about this claim- which I see referenced in academic journals: I CAN'T FIND A FUCKING SOURCE FOR IT.

I've found an article on a different dog tax that makes no mention of working dogs or docked tails, which is sometimes incorrectly cited as a source for this. I've been shown a countess mentioning this tax in a parliament debate thingy. The closest I've found to an original source is an old article in a periodical that makes reference to 'ancient forest laws.'

I haven't though found a single source that shows evidence that this tax was ever a thing.

WHERE did this come from? Was is just hallucinated in 2007 in front of parliament? Did the article about a different tax get incorrectly cited and then that citation just got repeated because nobody actually checks citations? Is this an inference someone made? Am I just missing a very obvious keyword in my searching?

If someone has a source for this claim I would love to see it!

Callout for my stupid stoner dog who raided the catnip stash and brought the whole bag into my room.
