This is Tilly the Friendly Loaf, one of about 30 dogs known to have short spine syndrome in the world

25 days ago by ickplant to c/dogs

Short spine syndrome is a very rare congenital defect. Part of awareness Tilly raises is to never breed dogs with short spine syndrome.

Here is more Tilly:

I really hope this Jimothy trend doesn't inspire somebody to try to breed the deformity intentionally, like what happened with Twisty Cats.

So I looked up twisty cats. Clicked on the picture of the cat on the preview of the wikipedia article for Squitten, the official term. This took me to the ddg images tab for squitten. Which apparently is the german word for squirt. So I was just immediately eyeblasted with the other kind of pussy.

FiniteBanjo 6 points 25 days ago

Idk who is claiming that is the official term, because the breeder in question called them twisty cats.

The german word you are looking for is not a translation of squirt but a germanification of the english word.

TMI

Squirten (lit. to squirt, and with an R) is how you use the english word without translating it gramatically correct in a german sentence.

The correct translation would be "spritzen", but in terms of sexual verbs this is usually reserved for the male ejaculation, so "squirten" is adopted for the female ejaculation.

Also dwarf cats, which includes the type people have taken to calling "munchkin cats." There's nothing wrong with being a dwarf person, but there are strong concerns about the quality of life for dwarf cats just because of their short legs.

Is it a crime? I feel like breeding dogs and cats should require a license or permit that you can lose for irresponsible breeding. If nothing else, it's annoying that it technically isn't called a copycat crime.

ickplant 10 points 25 days ago

I believe that it should absolutely require a license that can be revoked for unethical or irresponsible practices. But we canโ€™t have cause capitalism.

So, it would have been regulated under fascism? Communism? Manorialism?

It's more that democracy is weak, and the rich and powerful are no longer scared of guillotines.

I hope so too. So far the owners of these โ€œfamousโ€ dogs do a great job of advocating for them and spreading awareness about not breeding them.

Where does all the dog fit in that dog? Are all the organs smaller, do they somehow all fit with their original sizes, did she need surgery?

Do these animals have shorter life expectancies, or can they live a fairly long and normal life? Does it impair mobility?

It's the first time I've ever seen this condition, with all the jimothy posts and now these 2 dogs. Genetics are fascinating and terrifying at the same time.

ickplant 6 points 25 days ago

They have normal sized organs but all squished together. They generally do not need or get surgery - they are either euthanized because the organ compression and pain are severe or they can live relatively normal lives.

They do not automatically have shorter life expectancy. Quasi the Great (dog with SSS) is 14 years old this year.

It does impair mobility, and the degree to which it does will affect their quality of life.

The bottom line is, we actually donโ€™t know everything there is to know about SSS because itโ€™s so rare.

But I've seen about a million picture of dogs with this in the last week alone. AI really saw this shit and said, "Oh, I got this."๐Ÿ˜‚

We'll find out in the dystopia that future AI actually created the condition and sent it back in time to infect our pets making itself look like it could draw better.
