It's more unsanitary for the bug to be on your hand than it is for you to have the bug on your hand.

>intimately known 20 dogs

Just how intimately?

My daughter tried to use my dog for 4H. She had disastrous results. At first I thought it was her technique, but she was doing everything correctly, the dog would just refuse to do what she wanted. The situation got worse if my dog could see me. While I'm away for work the dog obeys my wife and kids, although begrudgingly. She becomes much more stubborn, and her recall goes to hell.
I believe the main cause of this is the fact I was the only one who trained and worked with my dog, and when my daughter tried seven years later it was too late.
However my bitch would never turn down a steak, even if Michael Vick offered it to her.

My family's dog was the same way. would not even eat from her food bowl unless my uncle was the one to pour it in.

hopefully Racoons and maybe Skunks? Foxes too I know they're already doing them but just maybe making them more common?

There is no difference in smell between 1 cat and 10 cats.

But baiting aside, you have too many cats when you don't have time or energy to give individual love and attention to each one. For some people, that's 1, and others are capable of giving more.

I'd say 3 is the absolute most anyone should have. Most owners should stick with 1 or 2 though. Anything past 3 is just too many cats. Personally I'll never have more than 1. I'm not about that life

one

cats are gross

I don't know any dog trainers by name

and?

>wants to buy a Doberman that's cropped, docked, and intact
Mate the people who want to buy dogs like that are BYBs, no wonder they don't want to sell one like that. Why do you want your dog to be fertile, OP?

>>2329779
>BYBs

What?

I want an intact dog because removing a huge part of an animal's endocrine system does them no health benefits. And that is putting it mildly.

Obviously it greatly reduces chance for any testicular, uterine, and breast cancers, but their skeletal, circulatory, and muscular systems all take a huge hits to health over the long term, and susceptibility to all other cancers increases many, many times.

Also, a male just won't grow as big if they're castrated.

but hey....

Lion wins definitely. It's the male's job to protect the pack from competitors, so it's more adept to fighting against another predator.

>>2329632
>It's the male's job to protect the pack from competitors
you're now aware that most male lions are killed by male lions.

so they're actually more adept at dying than fighting.

Ragdoll owner here. I guess it depends on what u want? U want big catdog, get Ragdoll. U want big catcat, get a Maine Coon. It's that simple. Main difference in what ive read about Main Coons, is that they behave as actual cats. Where Ragdolls, like mine, behaves like a dog. Waits by the door for me when i get home, is always in a 4 meter radius of u, and it even liked to play fetch as a kitten.

>Do dogs ever have nightmares where their owner is brutally murdered in front of them and they can do nothing?
Well, according to this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3866692/Your-dog-probably-dreams-Sleeping-pooches-think-lovingly-owners-faces-smells.html
your dog is usually dreaming about you
so it stands to reason if your dog is having a nightmare, that nightmare relates to you in some way
so yeah, when your dog is having a nightmare, they're probably dreaming something awful is happening to you

>>2328041
Or a nightmare about that time you accidentally stepped on your pup's tail/leg and it hurt. Or that time you got mad at something unrelated to the pup and it got scared anyway.

>>2328134
>that time you accidentally stepped on your pup's tail/leg and it hurt
well that's 100% not my fault, he shouldn't be running between people's legs anyway.
and if that's what he's having nightmares about i really dont give a shit, that's like having a nightmare about a papercut

Fuck yeah, jellyblimps.

Too bad that large aerial life forms can't exist on gas giants because the weather is always horrendously worse than on any rocky planet. Winds will tear any object in the atmosphere to shreds. Storm winds on Saturn have been measured at over 1000mph.
