Moreso for their personality than looks which might be an acquired taste.

You can do better for the effort and money.

Say, if I were to throw this fish in just the right way, do you guys think I could get a couple skips off the water?

Every night they howl outside my bedroom window. They are only a few hundred yards away. I have taken to howling a response to establish communication. But tonight I stepped outside for a cigarette and one was strolling past and was not afraid of me. He must have known I was a friend. To make sure he was of my pack I let loose my most powerful howl to wish him luck on his hunt and he sprinted off into the woods as if he meant to say "we are two individuals but one pack, my brother". It was beautiful

Rat poison. Hope mouse eats. Just would avoid if you have pets.

>>2332567
tried that too, the lil fucker knows and avoids it

How big is your dog, and how often will this happen? If it's a one time thing and he isn't a toy, it won't be an issue.

>>2332496
It's the oils that's really bad for them, so no, don't let the dog eat it.

>>2332496
can you cook a sock full of arsenic in rice and then just remove the sock and be ok?

my brother has a jug (that's a jack russell crossed with a pug) and they leave it indoors with a dog flap so it can go into the courtyard. It eats their electrical cables while they're at work and they get home to it shaking. They also walk it before they go to work.

dogs are disgusting animals and don't belong inside the house at any time.

>>2332451
Not a big deal, except for pugs and their ilk, if the day is nice.

https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Raven-Investigations-Adventures-Wolf-Birds/dp/0061136050 good book on them.

>>2332366
Checked.

Have you heard about how crows have been watching us? They have the ability to look out for certain faces in a croud.

My golden retriever has a really light, blonde coat and I've had multiple people say he's not a golden retriever because he's not red

It's either humping you or its scared.

he's trying to get you to take off those ridiculous meme shoes and get a pair of regular 70s converse so you stop humiliating yourself every single time you leave the house

what a good pupper looking out for you like that

>>2332239
Seems like humping.
Discourage the behavior. Not because it's meme-domination, but because it's unfavorable

dumb hoodlum

put your computer monitor up against the glass

I feel like the bigger issue would be all of the beneficial bacteria dying without the filter.

I assume your neighbors have a tank of their own?

If you can, do daily water changes when the power is out.

When everything blows over, ask them for some of their filter media, get some Seachem Prime and maybe bottled bacteria depending on how you feel using it, monitor the water parameters like a hawk, and cycle everything all over again.

Are you sure it's squirrels digging up the containers and planters? Typically if it's not a food source a squirrel is not going to be foraging in it.

>>2331964

I am certain it is squirrels. We've set up video cameras.

In one patch of dirt that was 10 ft x 20 ft, a couple of squirrels dug over two hundred holes in a single night.

They will dig down 6-8 inches.

Sometimes they bury stuff in them (acorns, nuts) but usually they are just digging, looking for old food caches.

I don't know why they dig up the container plants. Typically they will nibble on the plant a little, then dig around it until the uproot the plant completely.

It is a weird situation. Squirrels are crazy destructive. The state agricultural commission says that they are responsible for millions of dollars worth of crop and property damage every year. I know contractors who make a lot of money off of fixing damage from squirrels chewing through wiring and siding and anything else they can get heir teeth on. They also drive songbirds away from nesting and feeding sites, which is well documented.

They breed like rats. A single pair can produce 16+ babies in a year.

And yet if if you call the Master Gardeners' or local Tilth helpline, they will tell you that squirrels only nibble on plants very rarely and don't pose any serious problem for gardeners or homeowners. Then they recommend that you support local wildlife by feeding the squirrels or providing nesting boxes for them.
