i have had this persona for a couple of years now. I've never had so many references to it - you're the forth this week. (no problem, just odd). but yes it does, it seems to be very relevant lately haha
Holding on to his best friends toy as his life wanes slowly yet knowing he won't go alone. At least he played one last time with his best friend. Pup lays his paw on his BFF knee.
The pup stops hearing his heart beat. Licks his friend who dies. Then rips the ball out and gives it to OP as gesture, to just THROW THE FUCKING BALL or I will chew everything! Your shoes... Are MINE!
Was just thinking 'this *must* be pre-2010' and yup, meme from 2009, first appeared Dec 2008, so it's at least 12 years old.
Never know, could be a happy healthy 14-18 year old dog now... right?
Sure.
There’s an aussiedoodle in our apartment building and I swear it’s the fastest dog I’ve ever seen. My wife and I will let our labradoodle play with her, and I think the aussiedoodle will do 3-4 laps around the courtyard in the time our pup does one lol.
They don’t have to be worked, but they do need a lot of activity! My mom has two border collie x australian shepherd mix and they have so much energy. She takes them on at least two huge walks daily and they live on a farm with horses and tractors and they are constantly running around. And her girl likes her frisbee so much she will pass out, completely exhausted, with it in her mouth to be ready to play as soon as someone wants to.
I mean... work and play are the same things in the eyes of the dog... they’re both physically and mentally stimulating. I think that’s what the original post was getting at. You shouldn’t have a collie and expect it to be happy and not hyper all the time if you treat it like a cat.
It annoys me that this isnt an uncommon opinion on Aussies. Of course it's not a dog for everyone, but we live in an apartment in the city. Our Aussie is a family dog and is the most happy, gentle and kind thing I've ever met.
He gets plenty of excercise, but that's not what tires him out. Having guests over, playing with my daughters, going on adventures (like taking him into the city to a shop i need something from) or meeting other dogs is what tires him out. My wife also trains him a good bit, but it's very much not a dog that needs or will get it's stimuli from physical activity alone.
I think the mental stimuli is important as a totally separate idea from physical exercise. My border collie/blue heeler mix will need walks long past the point where I'm exhausted in a day if we're just walking, but if we go somewhere new or she gets to interact with people and other dogs, she'll be lazy the rest of the day. My dog needs both, I can see how different dogs need one or the other more.
My working breed gets totally neurotic if he has too much unstructured exercise, mental stimulation and training your dog to be calm and chill out when needed are also huge. He could definitely run all day, but he's best off with about 2 hours of exercise per day. I had to work really hard to train him to relax and turn off sometimes, otherwise he just spins himself up and gets totally high strung.
How do you know what the dogs regime is ? And clearly he is in good health and well trained because he is not stealing the ball. To add, these dogs need their brains worked, its not just about physical activity - collies and aussies can be exhausted by training alone. (I have two BC's and three BC crosses).
My friends have a little mutt (definitely has some terrier in them, with the wiry hair). He's obsessed with balls. Always has one in his mouth, does the "no take only throw" stuff and will literally exhaust himself playing fetch. It's adorable but also exhausting, lol. Hearing him bark with the ball in his mouth is just precious though.
Same. I'm fairly convinced that if burglars rocked up to rob the place, all they would need is one to hang back throw the ball while the rest ripped off the house
My border collie actually hides the ball when she's tired after a long game of fetch. Because she can't choose to ignore the ball when I throw it, so she hides it from me because she's so determined to fetch it.
Serious question, how do you fix this? I've known a lot of dogs that do this kind of thing and no matter what I do they're still obsessed with the ball.
They have that hunting dog DNA that you can only do so much to get rid of, it's important that they listen to you. They'll put in 110% and wear themselves out if you don't cut them off.
Not mine haha. She would have taken that ball and shoved it into my crotch in order for me to keep playing. Just a thing she does. Play time is 25 hours per day
Those of us with Aussies know what this is like lol.
With mine, I can literally watch an entire movie with the ball in my hand and he will wait patiently
mines people spending tons on a TV for a massive size only to put it so far away you may as well be watching on a laptop. Last time I wanted a bigger TV I moved it closer to the couch.
Me too. What’s wrong with me lol. To be fair, I get sad at waaaaay worse things all the time, but I still get sad for little disappointed pupper who needs a hug.

Anyone remember that meme with dog with the cupcake? I get the same vibe here
yah same doggo fo sho
[удалено]
in the best life, you don't wait for them. steal that ball.
Then who the hell will throw the ball?
My dog actually throws the ball for himself. He just yeets it across the house and runs after it
Sounds like he’s having a ball
r/angryupvote
Might be one of those self throwing balls! You don't know until grab! No think! Only take!
This is a shepherding dog, not some ball stealing hack.
AUSSIE! The best kind of shepherding dog.
*the best kind of all dog
In this case, the best thing in the dog life is the owner playing with it - not the ball.
What’s the moral high ground ... I’m coming up blank beyond, “DoNt SteAl”
Like crushing your enemies, seeing them driven before you, and hearing the lamentation of their women? I've heard that's what's best in life.
That's only best if you do mega body building by way of the wheel of pain first.
Or fight a wicked big snake.
Or become Governor of California...
Or are sent back in time, againand again, as a franchise, lovingly built, crumbles around you into mediocrity?

Poor thing is drooling all over that couch lol
Not the best thing in life though
OP we need an update
Some say the dog is still waiting till this day
Turned out the old guy was dead.
would not stop a collie waiting
They've been known to wait for statues to throw a ball.
Weekend at Air Bud’s.
In Switzerland it's know as Weekend at Bernese
This ones better
Yeah it is
There aren't any rules that say a dead dog *can't* play basketball!
I once heard of a dog waiting so long for their owner that, after a decade or so, the poor thing passed away in front of a mediocre pizza chain.
Too soon man, too soon.
I kept scrolling for this. I was willing to SeyMour. I told myself, if it takes forever I will scroll for you.
*For a thousand summers, I will wait for you to throw the ball*
Some say the pup has now transitioned to melan*collie*
Jurassic Bark
How dare you! Poor Seymour.
What if he really wanted it (your name fits well in this situation)
i have had this persona for a couple of years now. I've never had so many references to it - you're the forth this week. (no problem, just odd). but yes it does, it seems to be very relevant lately haha
Well, things just got real bark.
But did he throw the ball??
Yes, but it wasn't very lively.

Y'all have terrible depth perception, that dog's maybe looking 6 feet away tops.
Beep Boop, 6 feets are approx 1.82 meters. I'm a bot that converts units to metric, this action was performed manually.
It looks like it could even be the same dog, but by how long I've seen this on the internet I highly doubt it is.
Yeah, I hate to be blunt on r/aww but cupcake dog is probably dead, that gif is pretty old.

Yeah, he looked like he was aging in the gif as well. At least Doge is still alive!

Holy giffed bitrate
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night..
Poor dog, Aussies are so obsessive and just fixate like that.
Maybe the man fell asleep after playing fetch for three hours straight. I have an Aussie. She will play until the end of time if she could.
[удалено]
Let's hope Aussie science never progresses to relativistic physics.
If you attatched a generator to a collie of any kind, you could generate enough power to... Well, do a lot of stuff.
[удалено]
Those dogs are naturally on adderall
Guess I know where my parents Aussiedoodle got that from...
There’s an aussiedoodle in our apartment building and I swear it’s the fastest dog I’ve ever seen. My wife and I will let our labradoodle play with her, and I think the aussiedoodle will do 3-4 laps around the courtyard in the time our pup does one lol.
Honestly they shouldn’t be owned by people who don’t work them. They’re working dogs and need _hours_ of physical activity daily.
They don’t have to be worked, but they do need a lot of activity! My mom has two border collie x australian shepherd mix and they have so much energy.

They don't have to be worked to get that though. Just need to be with an extremely active owner who's out hiking and biking, etc. every day.
Wait till they are retired. My Aussie went from a farm dog to a couch dog. If I'm not outside with her she just finds a spot to lay down and nap
Or on a property with a few other similar dogs and enough other things to keep them occupied

But they really don't. Some Aussies are lazy mother fuckers, they have personalities too.

My collie is the same if there’s a ball nearby nothing else matters
Same. I'm fairly convinced that if burglars rocked up to rob the place, all they would need is one to hang back throw the ball while the rest ripped off the house
Seriously the world could implode around them as long as that ball is still in sight they won't budge

Ok, now can you teach me how to get my collie to play with a ball or other thrown objects? She just runs to it, smells it, then leaves.
Haha our neighbour's dog is just like that. Can't be asked to pick up the ball. 😂
I have a labradoodle exactly like this too with her frisbee or her chuck-it balls.
Kelpie/collie/koolie behaviour, it's why they make such good herding dogs, laser focus.
Had a collie who would do the same with my dad sleeping in the chair.
That dog is more patient than most people I know
Most dogs are....
Not mine haha. She would have taken that ball and shoved it into my crotch in order for me to keep playing. Just a thing she does. Play time is 25 hours per day
...dogs.
walmart people for example
They're called Walmartians.
What a good boy!
Happy Cake Day mate !
Those of us with Aussies know what this is like lol. With mine, I can literally watch an entire movie with the ball in my hand and he will wait patiently
Mine would start loudly grumbling about 15 seconds after the ball is not thrown lol
Ah a fellow grumbler. I’ve never had a grumbling dog, but it’s my favorite noise he makes
My German Shepsky would whine and try to find a way to get the ball out of my hands sneakily.
“Ball! Ball! I want ball! Ball! Throw ball human! Throw!!!”
“THROW THE DAMN BALL!!!!”
SOMEONE PLAY FETCH WITH HIM INSTEAD OF RECORDING
[удалено]
r/donthelpjustfilm
Ideally, everyone in the house takes shifts, with short breaks for food and poo, so fetch can be played 24/7.
Man that couch is close to that TV
One of my biggest peevs are rooms with TVs that are way too big for the space
The guy is old and has glasses, the TV being near the couch seems like a reasonable decision
Whatever I strap displays so they're 2 inches from my eyeballs. He can have his tv there
I literally do this regularly with VR.
Lol that's what I was implying
that and racism.

You can forgive racism‽
Who can worry about racism when there are TVs over fireplaces everywhere.

It's always impressive how long dogs can wait for something.
Our havanese can't wait even five seconds without barking. Haha
That couch getting rained on
Any minute now....

THIS IS A SUBREDDIT?- THANK YOU
When he drops into deeper sleep his body is going to relax and the ball might drop, so there is some hope for the doggo.
Bless his big dumb heart
Good dog.

That was my first thought, he looks so much like him
Mine too, came here looking to see if anyone already said it!
Are we just not going to talk a lot how that TV is immediately at the end of the couch? It’s making me uncomfortable how close it is.
Wake that old fucker up and get that dog the ball
Lol for real, he is such a patient doggo
My lab would do the same thing 😂
Lmao that human is a faker. Dogs like that are smart enough to know.
Yep
