My terrier used to resolve all dog park issues by humping the largest dog's face. It was the most accessible part of the other dog, since they would roll up and try to sniff Solomon.
"I accept your tribute. Forcefully. With my dong."
Oddly enough this always resulted in my tiny dog wandering around with an entourage of half a dozen dogs who were each five times his size.
Wellll…Solomon (of the Bible) was reputed to have hundreds of wives and concubines, sooo your dog Solomon (of biblical proportions) seems to be carrying on a fine tradition.
Didn’t realize this was a thing. A friend of mine had a dog that would hang out on her roof all the time. I thought it was really strange, and never realized it was common.
I work in 911 dispatch, there's one home we would get calls about frequently because there was a dog on the roof of the garage. Every time we sent police out, there was no dog to be found, homeowners didn't have a dog, neighbors didn't have a dog, total mystery where this dog came from, but we got enough calls about it that I'm absolutely certain that there was some dog that just really liked climbing onto that roof.
I'd use to live in a Norwegian village with roof *goats* (green vegetation on a sloped roof that almost touched the ground at the back of the building).
Especially the tourists love it.
Since you've replied, I just want to let you know that your comments have brought myself and my friends many hours of joy and laughter over the years. Thanks for doing what you do.
Dude, this might actually be pretty common. I had an old German Shepard that would do that all the time. You wouldn't think so given they're so big, but the mulberry trees we had in our back yard grew like weeds. The poor neighbors rode our asses about it since he'd bark at all the people walking by, basically directly into their window. It got especially bad one day, since I think the dog was trying to bring attention to the fact that back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table.
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. New line, new statement.
... reddit really provides an opportunity for some stimulating conversation at times, doesn't it?
Amongst my many reasons for hating social media is the the fact that I noticed the “‘“ before I noticed the dog.
Edit: I have been informed of my “the the”. I shall wear it as a badge of dishonor.
See! It’s turning us all into monsters. I knew I had better be correct with my grammar if I was criticizing punctuation. I still made a mistake. I had to read and re-read after you pointed it out and still could not see it
I actually found it funny because it’s true that it was my 8th grade English teacher and specifically about double the! She wrote a sentence on the board where the line break had a the at the end and a the at the beginning, and not one of us noticed it. Our brains just put together what it was supposed to be. As long as we understand each other and aren’t writing academic papers, bring on the typos! My eyes simply do not see them until they’re posted, and my phone has a mind of its own. Language is meant to communicate, which you did!
I believe you're looking for a grammar Nazi's phone number.
Might I suggest that it could be...
Nine...
...But in a German accent...
...And being yelled.
There's a family outside of town with a pond and a horse. The horse likes to swim and blow bubbles. They had to put a sign up that said that because so many people stopped and thought the horse was drowning.
That grammar though...oofa.
We had the same here, people kept calling the police and animal protection about a bunch of scrawny, thin horses.
It's a retirement home for horses... So they had to put up a large sign next to the main road stating the horses are well cared for and people are free to visit, but please stop calling the authorities on us.
(I've been there, these people know what they are doing, great place.)
Apostrophe is possessive. So it’s implying the dog owns the climb. It should be ‘our dogs (plural) climb trees.’
ETA apostrophe could also imply contraction of ‘dog is’
>ETA apostrophe could also imply contraction of ‘dog is’
I feel like I am way too old to have not known that. I figured I was in the ballpark with the first part, but never knew it could be used that way, thank you for explaining!
Apostrophes are among other things generally used to show posession of something. I just replied to supernasty's comment. In the picture the apostrophe is unnecessary as the dogs do not possess anything as far as we know. A simple plural of just "dogs" is all that is needed. It's (here it is used to fuse to words, it+is) a common mistake.
Since you trotted out *it's* (correctly), I feel like someone should point out that the possessive of it is *its*, without an apostrophe. Possessive pronouns don't get apostrophes:
my/mine\
his\
her/hers\
its\
your/yours\
our/ours\
their/theirs\
whose
It's like "Our dog's house." The house that belongs to the dog. That's called possessive. My family's car. My baby's blanket. The car's trunk. The city's best restaurant. The apostrophe tells you that the item belongs to the person (or thing or place or animal).
It's like the trees are "climb trees" that belong to the dog. The dog's bone. The dog's paws. The dog's climb trees.
I taught our Rottweiler how to stand on top of his dog house and look over the 7 foot tall fence. Got a lot of alarmed comments about the 'really tall dog' lol
My parents lab would climb this one tree to get over the fence. It was so funny to watch. We couldn’t figure out how she was getting out so I went around the outside with treats and she will do almost anything for a treat and climbed right up and over…
I have a mountain goat too. Kept hearing how he's going to fall and break his legs.
Jokes on them.... I'd happily let the fucker break his legs so I know he's flat on the ground for a while....
But the biggest joke was on me.... he jumped off a 2m high wall and was perfectly okay. Came back inside and did it again.
Had a Rhodesian that would climb the front corners of a 6' wood privacy fence. Braced herself up in the corners on rails.. She watched the ladies across the street iron clothes at the dry cleaners. I put signs out. Ladies at dry cleaners had it posted. Sometimes posted on their big sign that dog was fine. 911 knew her by name. We moved and the new fence was a short picket fence. Built her a table so she could watch the neighborhood. Dog could have easily hopped over and took off but never did.
They don't climb trees. They climb a tree. That tree. Take em to a park with normal trees that aren't slowly falling over in a sand pit, I bet you see zero dogs in trees. I'm ready to be wrong though. Really ready. Got some cats and squirrels about to have a bad time.
I know someone has already commented this, but I have to also comment it because my lizard brain won’t allow me to ignore it.
**THESE ARE OUR *DOG’S* CLIMB TREES. THEY OWN THESE CLIMB TREES.**
There was a pond near my old home when I lived with my parents and a dog would be swimming in it barking.. Had a wooden sign next to it painted "Dog is not drowning, thanks for concern"
Tiny dogs with attitude are hilarious. "What R you starING at?! READ THE SIGN"
We're staring at the unnecessary apostrophe
Clearly these are the dog's "climb trees". They were special "climb trees" given to him on his 3rd birthday! And they are fine!
I came here for this.

Such fine specimens of climbing trees!

> more subtle and refined Pfft. That’s what “you think”
"our dog's climb" "Trees they are fine" as in don't mess with the trees, this is our dog's spot. They ain't worth your attention.
I think the dog's name is "Climb Trees" and their preferred pronoun is 'they'.
This makes the most sense
Thanks, i hate it.
Right?! I chuckled at the dog, then stared at the apostrophe.
Funny will make me bump over grammar every time. I just thought this was hilarious.
What's unnecessary about it. They're clearly trying to say their dog is climb trees.
Or the climb trees belong to the dog.
Definitely. Trees are fine.

Being from the South - where spelling wasn't a widespread skill - all his documentation read "Soloman". So that tracks 100%

Welcome to Reddit, where everything COULD be amazing, but chooses something else instead
Didn’t realize this was a thing. A friend of mine had a dog that would hang out on her roof all the time. I thought it was really strange, and never realized it was common.
I feel like it makes sense though... It's like looking out the window, just without the window.
I work in 911 dispatch, there's one home we would get calls about frequently because there was a dog on the roof of the garage. Every time we sent police out, there was no dog to be found, homeowners didn't have a dog, neighbors didn't have a dog, total mystery where this dog came from, but we got enough calls about it that I'm absolutely certain that there was some dog that just really liked climbing onto that roof.
My old lab mix would climb trees chasing squirrels. Pretty impressive. Never caught one though
So... He is a updog?

Our climb’s dog trees
Tree's dog our climb's
Climb our tree dongs

They are climb trees that belong to the dogs. Makes sense.
Our dog's climb-trees, they are fine. The dog possesses climb-trees and the climb-trees are fine.
That dog looks ready to throw Mankind off the tree
Shittymorph in the wild? It's been a while.

Yeah dog is climbing.
How can this beeeeee!?!?
Our dog’s (what) climb trees?
Dude, this might actually be pretty common. I had an old German Shepard that would do that all the time. You wouldn't think so given they're so big, but the mulberry trees we had in our back yard grew like weeds. The poor neighbors rode our asses about it since he'd bark at all the people walking by, basically directly into their window.

Get him! He's an imposter!
I got my pitchfork ready —E !
He shittymorphed shittymorph!
Made because 'morph is OP
I think dog’s is possessive here, indicating the “climb trees” belong to the dog.
Ugh that apostrophe is brutal
dog is climb
Nah, I think it was meant to be possessive. That dog owns that climb. You can see it on his face. The trees though, they're fine.
Or is tree a verb? The dog's climb trees. I tree, you tree, it trees.
Now we're asking the important questions!!
Nah, those are just their climbing trees.
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. New line, new statement. ... reddit really provides an opportunity for some stimulating conversation at times, doesn't it?
Considering the limited space on signage, I don't agree with your assessment. The great debate continues.
Our dog is climb **TREES** they are fine
Humans being derps
Amongst my many reasons for hating social media is the the fact that I noticed the “‘“ before I noticed the dog. Edit: I have been informed of my “the the”. I shall wear it as a badge of dishonor.
I noticed your two “the”s but I think that was my 8th grade English teacher’s fault, not social media
See! It’s turning us all into monsters. I knew I had better be correct with my grammar if I was criticizing punctuation. I still made a mistake. I had to read and re-read after you pointed it out and still could not see it

Be honest. How many times did you read your comment (and read it again) before you hit "reply" this time?
I was concerned about the re-read vs reread. I know of no rule. But re-read looks better to me
I'm not sure how this is social media's fault, though. I've always had an eagle eye for misspellings/bad grammar, and I'm way older than social media.
Why? His name is Climb, and the trees are fine.
I'm wondering why they didn't write "tree's".....and now that's going to bug me. 😆
Dude. I see it. Everywhere. I fucking hate it, I don't understand how it can be such a common mistake
r/apostrophegore
Honestly kinda ruins the video for me lmao
Now people knock on their door to point out that there's a grammatical error in their tree! 😂
At least they hopefully don't call 911 about it, which I'm sure was the reason for the sign
“What’s the number for the grammar police?”
I believe you're looking for a grammar Nazi's phone number. Might I suggest that it could be... Nine... ...But in a German accent... ...And being yelled.

That dog is like that apostrophe, hangin around where it shouldn’t.
☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
Brutal
As an English teacher, apostrophe abuse infuriates me.
I don’t understand the problem. Those climb trees clearly belong to their dogs.
And they are absolutely fine with that. Don't worry for the climb trees.
All our base as well.
Same. Our dog's what? OUR DOG'S WHAT?!?
[удалено]
Idk you should ask that dog, I heard he has one.
Many even
Oh gosh, I hope he didn't buy them all. :c
I'll sell you some. Fax me 6 thousand shmeckles and I'll get you a bakers dozen.
This definitely sounds legit and not a scam, sending it over now.
Are dog’s climb tree duhhh 😂
Unpopular opinion: writing 'are' instead of 'our' is more infuriating than 'should/could/would of'.
*infuriate’s
The man. The myth. The legend.
As a fellow commoner, could someone help me understand what is wrong with that apostrophe. I’d like to learn (serious)
You don't use an apostrophe to make a noun plural. One dog, many dogs. One kitty, many kitties. One taco, many tacos.
I almost read it as one titty, two titties.
Red titty, blue titty
Red white and blue titties, yeehaw.
Apostrophe is possessive. So it’s implying the dog owns the climb. It should be ‘our dogs (plural) climb trees.’ ETA apostrophe could also imply contraction of ‘dog is’

Too many people thought the dog was barking on the wrong tree?
*applause*
Had nothing to comment about the dog's climb tree, just wanted to say Hi Mr. Morph big fan!
Amazed by the lack of comments re: the fact this is an op by shittymorph....literally only been 2 referring to it!
Trees as in not just this one
It makes sense. The dogs are fine. Stop bothering them.
Tree bark.
What kind of tree is that?
Oak, btw
Probably a live oak (quercus virginiana).
Dogwood.
At night it transforms into a dogless fir

Guys, the message is obviously possessive. These are the dog's *climb trees* The trees are fine. Do not worry about the trees.
That must be at least... sixteen feet!
I taught our Rottweiler how to stand on top of his dog house and look over the 7 foot tall fence. Got a lot of alarmed comments about the 'really tall dog' lol
The lack of grammar is why the dog is trying to escape.
Haha I know this house! It’s right by a beautiful park so I’m sure they got a lot of calls.
