I would love a chihuahua but I worry about the ethics of breeding a dog so small and all the health issues that come with such intensive breeding.
I got myself one of the healthiest breeds there are (Whippet). She does the same weird talking noises as Tina. She is not a toy dog but she thinks she is, and will jump up onto my lap as much as possible, expecting me to support with my hands and arms the bits of her body that don't fit on my lap.
She is more like a cat than a dog. I know there are more "cat people" than "dog people" on Ovarit but if you are a cat person thinking of getting a dog I highly recommend a sighthound like a greyhound or whippet. They don't jump all over you and get in your face like most dogs do, they are much more respectful and gentle, they sleep a lot and they are graceful and elegant. Also they don't smell and they aren't meant to be noisy or licky (except my Whippet missed the brief on those last 2 points).
I am always surprised at how big whippets are. I think I have Italian greyhounds in mind when picturing them. That’s interesting about them being so healthy.
I love those noises Tina makes, she sounds like a cat!
I wouldn’t get a dog (I already have two indoor cats in a bedsit) but I used to think, when I lived in a house, that if I had ever got a dog I’d like a retired greyhound. They become complete couch potatoes apparently. 😄
This is a general interest discussion community for women. Women can discuss most topics here. Rants, raves, interesting links, career advice, relationship advice, hobbies, interests, chit chat, pet pics, as long as you're a woman and it's not disallowed below it's all free to go here.
Our goal is to provide a friendly and supportive space for the women of Ovarit. This circle is not a "safe space," but it is and will always be a female-only space. This means if you are not female, you will be banned.
This circle is not for general politics or election topics - arguments about politics do not fit within this circle’s mission. This is not a debate circle.
Before posting, please check the list below of other women-only circles to make sure there isn't a community that is dedicated to the topic. Also, please use the feminist circles for feminist topics, such as /o/WomensLiberation and /o/GenderCritical. Posts about male violence belong in /o/NameTheProblem. This circle is not for news about violence.
If you post about trans topics in o/Women your post may be locked and / or deleted. We cannot move posts around.
This is a friendly and supportive community for general topics which are not contentious. Posts which start arguments, or which devolve into arguments in the comments, are extremely likely to be removed. This is a friendly and supportive general chat community, not a debate or argument board.
Examples of topics which belong here:
Rants, raves, advice seeking, or discussions about your relationships, jobs, family, pets, hobbies, travels, etc.
Links to random media like music, or funny, silly, or uplifting things like alpaca videos.
Links to various news or articles which don’t fit in other circles and are not about violence, male depravity, the oppression of women, and contentious topics including politics which either belong in other circles or do not lend themselves to friendly, supportive discussion in an ideologically diverse community.
If you are having a mental health or medical emergency, we unfortunately cannot help you. Please call a crisis helpline or use another qualified service.
Advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups are only allowed to be posted by users who are level 7 or above and have been on the site for more than six months. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!
Some other circles on Ovarit are also women-only and are focused on specific topics:
/o/WomensHealthLounge: a women-only community to talk about all health topics, including mental health
/o/Fitness: a women-only community to talk about personal fitness
That chihuahua is adorable and hilarious.
