arent they considered the 2nd smartest breed or something?

>>2412490
Yes.

Standard Poodles are great dogs with the right owners.

We have a whole board for this. It's called /an/.

Looks like a rareius pepeius.

>>2412422

Fowler's Toad.

When looking for IDs, mentioning where it was encountered and any notable behavior can also help easily narrow things down.

>predatory insect is somehow supposed to not be able to bite
dumb or just retarded?

>>2412394

Dumb for sure, but I don't understand why I can't find a thing about them biting. I mean it was mostly harmless, but hurt like hell, worse than most ants and other common bitey bugs.

Every insect with a mouth can bite

He got into a patch of onions

Is your house haunted?

>>2412300
Not that I know of

tylenol

>>2412170
I forgot to say they are just under 5 weeks old, so most medications are out.

I didn't see anywhere mention Tylenol to treat ear mites. I found a couple sites mention it for dogs, but not cats. How would you use it on them?

>>2412178
I cant tell you what to do for the ear mites, i dont know.
For the fleas just give them a bath everyday.
If those are your cats then i suggest that when bathing them that you use your elbow to determine how hot/cold the water is and adjust accordingly

Get a better dog, like a rat

People are going to try to give you adive on everything you do and it can be so difficult to not get caught up in other people's opinions, we all have bias and at the end of the day an anecdote is just an anecdote - what might work for one person's dog might fuck yours up. My personal belief is that positive reinforcement is best, and that you shouldn't hit a dog (unless it is hurting or going to hurt someone, or even itself).

Don't use puppy pads - in the long run it is so much easier to take it outside a couple of times an hour, puppy pads teach the dog its ok to piss indoors, especially on things that are a similar texture to the pads.

Clicker train it early because thats the shit that can make a difference. Also, you can pretty much train dogs from day 1, don't wait until the dog is unmanagable to start training.

Some people say puppy classes are a must, but it depends on what you feel, they can be expensive but can also be really good for socialisation.

Make sure it gets all of it's shots and is microchipped. Preventative is cheaper than treatment.

There's probably a lot more, but just make sure to love it and treat it right.

>>2412141
Also, breeds like that aren't only physically demanding but need a lot of mental stimulation - invest in toys that require them to use their brain so they don't get bored. Especially when yiu aren't at home.

Toys like kongs can be useful for crate training because you can put food in them and it can help keep the dog distracted.

I don't know, there are some in my apartment's ceiling and they're no worse or better than the people who live upstairs

Because normal people just get a dog. What more could u want?

I want domesticated red pandas. They're endangered, what better way of saving them than making them pets? I heard they're pretty gentle/non-aggressive so that only makes it easier.

A red QT.

If you were in the UK I'd say a male Aranea diadematus but in Texas I'm not sure. Still think its a likely culprit. Harmless btw.

I see them all the time outside my house, but this one is much bigger than the ones I usually see. Have a slightly blurry face pic.

Popular in the third world, I guess you are from South American or Africa

It keeps the robbers out, it keeps the stray animals out, it keeps cats out that will shit all over and scratch your stuff.

Your cat has now learned that this is dangerous and probably won't try to scale one of these walls again, as is intended.

Live on and prosper and let your neighbours protect their properties in whatever way they can, you probably are not allowed to own guns, that's for the cartels, so you need glass walls and barbed wire to stay safe

I live in Blackburn and a lot of the Asian families would do this. In recent years it's been stopped. I think it's illegal to do it below a certain height

UK, but it's on the boundaries of an estate so I'm not surprised.

>>2411742
I think these walls range from about 7 - 9 foot so probably not illegal unfortunately.

I don't really think of them.

they're gay and i kick their ass constantly

Looks broken

Talk him into getting a dog and let him know the constant handling and attention he gave the lizard probably stressed it out.
But don't be mean
Let him know that dogs are fairly dependent and will love him and loves to be handled
Take him to a shelter to just look around for a little bit and see if he's into it

I don't think cats/dogs are allowed in his living situation but I should convince him to get a rat. They would enjoy the smothering lol

>>2410739
Rats would be a good choice or a couple ferrets even but the rats will probably smell less.

Is it too barren bros, or will adding more stuff make it look too cluttered?

I added the pot after Sir Wormsworth kept hiding behind the filter (The adjacent driftwood also provides another tunnel and hiding spots in conjunction with the pot!)

What should I add? I won't for a while, I don't want to stress him out. But what kind of stuff would be cool?
