Don't think like that anon. I can tell you love her more than anything in the world.

My dogs refuse to use their beds. Sometimes they will get on mine but rarely they do. They just wanna sleep in the middle of the hardwood floor.

Even the cat only uses his bed for sitting on it to look out the window. Which makes me sad because after they weren't using their expensive ass store bought beds I fucking sewed them some like a fag and they still rather the floor.

That's all that matters, don't look too much in to it. Your dog would be happy laying in dirt as long as you're there.

What these two said. Don't kill it, It might look nasty but it's harmless to humans and hunts things that are actually harmful to us

Same. Took months to finally see the pair of pileated woodpeckers that were demolishing a huge tree infested with beetles.

They're really active in the morning like. I always heard them since they sound like howling monkeys but I was hyped as fuck I pulled over and got to see them about 15 feet away.

I've found owl pellets and have heard them here but I have yet to see them.

R-type reproductive species don't typically have (or require) bonded pairs, since bonded pairs dont really confer a fitness advantage when your reproductive strategy is "shit out a bunch of eggs/seeds that hatch into independent orgamisms that can immediately care for themselves."

You're basically asking if shit like fish, trees, and dandelions are monogamous.

>>2468666

and repy
yes or no

>>2468654

how the FUCK do you get into a situation like that?

I mean there are literally thousands of ways to not get into this and if it does happen for some reason just as many ways to get out of this, like for example just dropping to the floor+rolling away or letting yourself fall back+side really quickly.

the video of it showed it went on for like 20 fucking seconds, he must have enjoyed it

He's approx 60lbs, and about a year and half old

At least from this angle, it sort of looks like the antlers slope too heavily forward and downwards to match with the look of any particular deer species that I'm familiar with.
Because of the facial features and the placements of the antler spikes, my guess is that it's a stylized/exaggerated rendition of a white-tailed deer.

>>2468618
Whitetails will often have atypical racks like that, but the lack of color is throwing me off whatever species it's supposed to be. Ears kinda remind me of mule deer.

>>2468660
>>2468667

Thanks for the reply guys
To be clear, the reason Im asking is because of the downward sloped antlers, I find them quite interesting

But what you're telling me is it could either be,
One, some sort of abnormality in one specific deer
Or two, an artistic work of fiction

In either case, that kind sucks for me because I really like the way the antlers look and I wanted to find some more examples.

Just in case there is a species out there where these antlers are the norm, I'll say that this image was captured from a youtube video filmed in a French lodge

Awe so cute hehe

This makes me want to breed a cat with a very long tail.

hounds should be divided into scenthounds/sighthounds because they're very different

also missing spaniels

>>2468409
>>2468611
are bichons considered a type as well?

>>2468409
Lhasas are not terriers or spitz

Fun fact: that's not it's tongue. It's an inflatable sac called the dulla, which male dromedary camels inflate and whip out to impress the ladies.

And a size comparison, sorry for the blur.

>>2468362
Not a roach. Too blurry but i think a beetle

>>2468354
just because dogs have a superior sense of smell does not imply that they have a weakened sense of sight. In fact aside from color vision dogs have a visual acuity as good as or better than humans.

they cannot see their own farts. They can certainly smell them, just like I can.

If thats true then my dog is blinded by his own farts, honestly his farts smell like a sulfur mine

Take it to the vet

>>2468188
Some kind of fly larva.

You got some pantry moths. Congratulations, enjoy finding them in anything edible in plastic or fabric bags (they can chew through those)
