I’m curious if this is a “dogs” community vs a “bad clip art” community?

Is this a community for sharing dogs? Or an avenue for anyone to shit out dog-adjacent crap that is unmistakeable from clip art????

And keep in mind… A single “bad clip art” rule can change this community… while opening the door to shitty doodles that tangentially reference dogs, all while claiming bad clip art makes up a dogs community.

Suddenly this /c feels like an AI cuddle pic community, not ANYTHING that has ANYTHING to do with ACTUAL DOGS.

Curious, do you want to see people’s dogs? You know, animals with a history, personality etc…. Or should this be a community of folks looking at cutesy hallmark clipart?

I've told him several times that the doorbell was just on the tv and there's no one at the door, but I don't think he believes it

Just kidding, she already had a name when I adopted her. But I suspect that will be one of many new nicknames she will be hearing frequently from now on.
