I was doom scrolling through Threads the other day…
And I happened upon a person complaining (rightfully so, IMHO) that someone had commented on one of this person’s posts that they absolutely hated seeing this person’s dog’s rear end in all her photos and why can’t she just share pictures of the beautiful scenery instead sans doggy butt. Naturally I ran – nay – bolted to the Comments section to see what was being said. As one does.
There were more than a few photos of various doggy butts being shared (all cute, in case you were wondering) and someone also commented on walking their dog and the joy of seeing not only their dog’s butt but the flopping, bouncy ears too!
Cue post inspiration…


So, dear readers…are you Team Doggy Butts Are Cute or are you Team Doggy Butts Are Not To Be Seen/Shared? Let me know!
Have a great weekend, everyone.
Rock on, and Elbows Up!
The WB
All I can say is…. Butts Are Cute!!!!!
Well said, Cuzzin! Thanks 💕
Any bit of the dog is more than acceptable, particularly if it’s Bowser
Awww, thank you Sheree 💕
Pleasure
Team Doggie Butt all the way. 👍
And honestly, if you don’t want to see it?
Don’t look. It’s a simple enough solution.
Seems simple enough to me too! I think this person’s comment can be filed under Main Character Syndrome 🤣. Thanks, Rivergirl 💕
Well, having shot many thousand doggy faces and behinds i have to say it depends on the doggy in question. Some just have the cutest behinds. Also, I have to say that often a dog from behind is doing it’s natural doggy thing which can be way more interesting than just another image of a doggie sitting impatiently in front of something waiting to be released to continue doing it’s doggie thing, you know? But having said that, doggie faces are absolutely the cutest, and if you have bouncing ears too, then you’re in photographer’s heaven.
I couldn’t agree more, Dawn! Well said. Thank you 💕
I’m going to butt out of this controversy. Butt I will say that I don’t mind seeing the dog’s butt. Just don’t show the landmines he leaves behind.
🤣 Yes! 💯. No one needs to see those, except the dog walker who is observing their pup’s digestive health. Nothing beats the relief of seeing a firm poop after your dog has been ill! IYKYK 😉. Thanks, TG 💕
Yes to doggie everything, butts and all! 💕
Yes, yes, yes 🙌. Thank you, Natalie 💕
I am on Team Bowser, Butt, Bouncy ears … the whole package! I hope Bowser is as kind back to me and my behind.😊 A fun post, cute photos and made me smile once again, Deb.💕Erica
I’m glad the post put a smile on your face, Erica! Thank you 💕
doggy butts are A-OK in my book! Objecting says more about the commenter than we want to know.
So true! When I have a strong reaction to something I see or hear I usually have to ask myself what is it about ME that is provoking such a response? If you feel the need to comment in such a way instead of scrolling on, that does indeed say more about the commenter than anything else. Thanks, Lauren 💕
There’s no bad side to Bowser, but his front is definitely my favorite.💕😊 Oh that adorable mug! I’m not opposed to seeing doggie bums but prefer those to have a flattering tail. 😉😁
Thank you very much, Bobi 💕 I had you in mind when I added that last photo to the post 🙂.
I have cats. Two thirds of all pictures are butts or tails and most blurry. Gotta love butts (as long as there are not dingleberries dangling!).
Oh yes! Clean-looking butts only, for public view. Thank you, Kate 💕
I must be blind as I never notice his butt only him walking down some path and the beautiful scenery. I’m in the keep doing what you’re doing camp. 😊
Thank you very much, Deborah 💕 Doggy butts are not a trigger for you, clearly. 😄
😊❤️
Now if his doggy butt was in use that would be too gross but otherwise it`s totally fine. I hardly saw him in the trail one – I was struck by the fact that you got to walk on all these gorgeous red leaves!
Yes, that would be gross! Thank you, Bernie 💕
As to doom scrolling — have you read `Cellphone Nation`. It is definitely worth it. Bernie
No, but I’ll look for that one. Thanks for the recommendation 💕
Any part of Bowser is cute… although I think I prefer his adorable little face.
Good choice! 😄 Thank you, Janis 💕
What a sad life that person must live if a few butt shots is going to annoy her/him enough to complain.
Yes, that is very sad! I think about this a lot when I read those types of comments… how sad, angry, unhappy the commenter must be on a day-to-day basis. Thanks, Jean 💕
Hi Deb – seems like Tippy Gnu had the best comment … I think I prefer the front … but appreciate we need the butt too … cheers Hilary
😄 Yes! Truth. It’s inevitable though – my view on our walks – it’s a lesson in appreciating the whole dog 🤣. Thanks, Hilary 💕
Honestly, what is wrong with some people? Doubtless there are less than attractive doggie butts, but no-one’s being forced to look. I’m in team Doggie (and Kitty) butts are cute, and Bowzer is top of the cute butt class 🙂
Awww, thank you very much Debs 💕 I agree with you – Bowser’s butt is top shelf cute. Butt 😉, I might be a bit biased 🤔😄.
I laughed out loud when I read your post! I am definitely Team Doggy Butts Are Cute. 🙋♀️ As a self-confessed overthinker, it boggles my mind that there are people out there who would actually complain about something so silly! Honestly, our furry kids’ cute butties are part of the whole package. I’d be the first to tell a complainer to just ‘move on’ if they can’t handle that view! Thanks for the much-needed laugh today. 🐾🍑
You are most welcome! Thanks for commenting 💕
Definitely Doggy Butts are cute! I love to watch Chloé and ginger prance with their little poodle swagger💕🐩🐾🐾
It’s the best, isn’t it? Looking forward to catching up with you guys soon! Thanks, Brenda 💕
