Wat?
Dog refuses to eat food. Why would dog not eat food? Especially favorite food. Also, dog throws up. Inescapable conclusion: dog must be sick.
In OP graphic, owner gives not one fuck that dog is sick. OP only wants 2 things: for dog to not throw up, and must eat favorite food. Label is assigned: dog is "picky". Not "sick", not "feeling unwell", but "picky", as if dog is at fault. Zero empathy, zero compassion. Look at the stare of the man towards the woman: DOMINANCE. Alpha male.
Translation: boomer humor (said both by creepy old men but also creepy old women alike) looks at girl, caring not one whit about whether she is happy or sad. Just like dog, facts are irrelevant, her feelings are irrelevant: girl must smile more, for the ease and comfort of boomer. That is all that matters, to boomer. DOMINANCE.
My own reaction: vomit emoji. Sad. :-(
My wife works in the veterinary field and you don't know what you're talking about. There's a chance they're sick, but you can't determine that from a meme
You need a fucking hobby, sheesh
Are you ok friend? Did I use the wrong meme format and offend you?
My dog happily ate her food after throwing up this morning. She has GERD, which is typical for her breed. Sometimes she doesn't feel well, pukes instead of eating (which would help the nausea), then I get to clean up puke while she eats her breakfast. If I don't put enough topper on her kibble, or cook an egg and mix it in, or sprinkle cheese on top, often times she won't eat at all.
I feel your pain. You're describing my dogs to a tee. I can understand how it could be confusing to people who have never had to deal with this. What breed is your pupper if you don't mind me asking?
German shepherd. Luckily she only has GI issues and is picky. She didn't get the hip troubles others have and isn't aggressive, so I'd take her anyday.
