I have a sausage and he's big and ferocious. He's the only male dog I have in my pack though so he needs to prove himself I guess. He's pretty cool. He doesn't wear a collar and hates costumes.

What the fuck is wrong with that lab? His proportions are all messed up.

>>2395924
Took the TOADpill.

>>2395924
There's two types of labs. American and English. English labs have boxier heads, thicker bodies, ,and shorter noses. American labs are slimmer, with longer heads with more curved features.

Just like in real life

Wait I mean just like humans.

I dunno, when MvM fight, it generally gets pretty gory. Especially when pit bulls from shitty owners are involved.

A fucking Pidgeon.

Looks like an extremely shitty picture of a mourning dove.

Something just to make the nausea go away

>>2395749
Do you own a Saturn car?

Chemicals and odors are implanted into many housewife cars, even jeeps, that create EXTREME nausea and mental distraction.

No, I'm not sure why. I just know your dog might not be carsick, but might be sick from the chemicals they slather on the leather and seats. They make me VERY sick, two minutes and I'm vomiting.

Perfume is a weapon now, didn't you know?

>>2395752
I don't. My previous car was a mazda and the now it's a subaru. I don't think I had perfume on around him but I'll make a mental note for sure

>>2395663
it had a red belly also

I'm afraid what you have there is a brown recluse.

Looks to be a banded garden spider, no worries, it is harmless, and definitely not a recluse.

I don't know

>>2395659
What are the circumstances of the bite?

>>2395675
From what I hear the kid was antagonizing the dog and it nipped him. But this is what I heard from a friend who heard from his co-worker so I'm not sure if the actual case. Apparently it was the first time the dog had done anything like that though.

>>2395534
Looks like a type of orchid. Google orchids.

Looks like two type of flowers. For the pink feathery one it's probably 合歡, Persian Silk Tree, and you are probably out of luck trying to find it. Some mimosa have pink feathery flowers, but they are round, like fluff balls, the size of coins, China town have these.

it's not real. I'd pick a clematis

I just want to know opinions of pet owners

Stop posting. Please throw your computer in the garbage and never come back here. Every time I see one of your stupid fucking posts I can feel myself getting dumber by association.
Stop.

The Doberman should be fine. A dog that size would probably need to eat an entire onion, if not more, to get sick.

Keep an eye on the minpin. It sounds like they had just a few little bites of onion, which shouldn't hurt him. Onion isn't something where if a 100 pound dog has a tiny piece of diced onion they'll die in an hour.

It's not that deadly on it's own unless in huge amounts. Yes it hurts their thyroid and such, but it's comparable to us humans and alcohol. How much you have and how long you have been having it will give a pretty good indicator of what you can expect to see in the future.

Now, if it were a huge bar of very dark chocolate or raisins, then I would say to watch your dog and possibly call up your vet.

update from op
I've been watching both of the dogs closely ever since the incident.
Both have vomited multiple times. I saw multiple vomit piles from both dogs with all the meat chunks.
I cleaned the vomit piles up as soon as I encountered them so that neither would try to eat it again.
I'm pretty sure they both threw everything up.
They both vomited multiple times in multiple places. I'm waiting for them to stop throwing up before letting them back in.

I read up somewhere, apparently 5g garlic per lb of body weight is toxic to dogs, and onion is less toxic than that. I know that neither of them got close to that amount. I'm pretty relieved right now given that neither of them ate an apparently toxic amount, and both vomited everything they'd ate.

Right so. Just waiting for them to stop vomiting so I can give them baths. Then feed them their dinners in an hour or two. Thanks for the replies guys, helps my anxiety. Thanks

Been a while since I read up on budgies or birds in general, but I seem to recall that if you get one, it'll bond to you better, but will require more daily attention and interaction with you. Two birds will bond more closely to each other but will also keep each other entertained.
There should be plenty of budgie forums with stickied noob info around if /an/ isn't delivering.

>>2395533
Ahh, That's what I thought. I wouldn't want it to get lonely, so I'll try to look into getting two!

I also tried rummaging around with what google gave me, but I got different answers from different people.. (I.e. Sandpaper perches are good for birds, sandpaper perches are NOT good for them..)

>>2395942
No sandpaper perches! They will just scratch up the birds feet and hurt them.

Male and female you can't tell apart with 100% certainty unless you get them dna tested. Males seem to make more noise though. Females can become eggbound.

Picture from its side kinda

Looks like a dobsonfly, except for the antenna. Maybe a female with impressive antenna? I've never seen feathered ones like that.

>>2395446
It's a male fishfly.

No younger than 8 weeks, get a German Shepherd or an Australian Shepherd, both of which are intelligent and top quality dogs for almost anyone with australian shepherds being not too big. 30 minutes 3-4 times a day is quite a bit but there's a lot of active breeds. I'd even suggest a husky with that amount of activity but your climate and experience would matter

>>2395423
Just to clarify - I'm not the most active person, but I'd be fine with 30 mins 3-4 times a day (I do run on weekends and I'm all around fit). Less exercise is honestly kind of better, but I understand that a dog is not a house plant so I'm fully willing to dedicate that type of time to going outside with it. I personally love Australian shepherds, my family had two for about a week each before sending them back to the shelter because they were just too active/crazy for them... they possibly had aggression problems already from their past life, but either way I used to love running with them for the short time that we had them (fuck you mom, you didn't even try).

My biggest concern is them staying at home for 4 hours at a time while I'm at work and them getting lonely/feeling neglected.

May not want a young puppy because they can only hold their bladder 1 hour for every month they are in age, and stops areoun 8 to 10 months. You could have someone watch him while at work, bring him to daycare or take a week or so off. But it may confuse them as they will get used to pissing and shitting indoors. Also read up on training BEFORE you get a dog. https://www.youtube.com/user/kikopup does a lot with pups

One thing is to really do your research on the breeds and more so on the breeders. Buying from a reputable breeder will cost more than a BYB but it will save you money in the long run and a lot of heart break. I know looks can be tempting but try not to pick a dog on looks alone. It usually does not end well. Honestly a dog breeder worth their salt will be able to tell you more about the breed than anyone here can, they will be able to tell you if it's a good fit or not and will point you towards the right direction if it doesn't work out.

This is weird, it's resting with its wings folded up like a butterfly.

Eh, a lot of moths don't even have mouths. The most important thing when keeping bugs is to keep a piece of wet paper in with it so it can get water. Even if it can eat, insects die faster without water than without food.

This little guy is really cute. I swear I've seen something like this before, I just can't remember where and what.
