No. We starve together

>>2296580
Nah. I'm not eating rat, even if I like them as pets.

African Gooback

>>2296368
Hippo

>>2296368
it looks like a rare form of Rhodesian ridgeback

Don't put him down, if you want him gone just give him to a shelter.

>>2295774
That's what happens when you baby your dog too much. You're supposed to show it that you're the alpha. Beat the fuck out of it if it bites you.

>>2295805
They'll do the same, dogs like that don't work, they will attack again.

Shit I meant to post my reply to that post

>>2280338
Why are they always shit-blender colored?

>>2280338
Thank god it attacked him and not some kid in the park.

The dog was always going to snap, the timing was good.

Thanks for reminding me to continue walking on the opposite side of wherever someone is walking one of these ticking time bombs.

>accidentally
I touch her nose constantly. With my face, hands, feet, arms, legs...pretty much however I can. I also 'bite' on the tip of her nose (not with any pressure obviously) with my front teeth. Albeit that last part was something she started--she always 'bites' the tip of my nose when she gives kisses.

>not bopping snoots
Anon.............

My dogs nose has been and done things you could not imagine, it is not hermetically sealed and atmospherically controlled.

>>2299869
It doesn't look like she's very comfortable with whatever muzzle contraption that shit is. I'd say leash to her to a normal harness and spend an hour everyday training her specifically to not pull on the leash and deal with distractions. That one crazy dog trainer guy has a great video on it. Too lazy to look it up though

>>2299883
I used a harness for a couple months, I got the gentle leader for Christmas. It's helped tremendously, with the harness she was practically walking on her rear legs.

Not OP, but I have a 7month puppy that loves to pull ahead(mostly because boundless energy). Does it really matter or is this some bullshit dominance thing again?

Heh, time to watch these people's heads explode.

>>2299759
I would if I could. This is absolutely problematic and triggering.

I sometimes have nightmares where I'd find a pet (sometimes an animal I've never had, sometimes it's a pet I've had that died, has never been a pet I currently have) I've forgotten or never knew I had, and is starving and dying, and the rest of the dream is me scrambling to care for it and nurse it back to health.

I don't understand how someone can just forget about feeding an animal for nearly a week. Maybe if they were hoarding, but you only have 3 pets. I can see if it was about procrastinating cleaning or something, or you didn't have the money, or it was only a day. but you just forgot about it's existence. How the fuck do you manage that?

Because "muh purebreeds." This is coming from someone who has a purebred working dog and sees the value in both mutts and pures.

>>2299391
What about the intelligence?

>>2299394
Whats the benefit of a purebred bulldog?

>>2298875
all it takes in one retarded wolf that decides humans aren't dangerous and gets close enough to interact with them
those guys were literal autist, no sense of danger
they just got lucky we saw use for them

>>2298875
we didn't domesticate wolves. we domesticated a common ancestor that wolves share with dogs.

>>2298875
>hunter gatherers dropping food scraps everywhere they go
>wolves eventually realize that eating human waste is a lot easier than hunting
>start following humans around
>humans probably kill aggressive wolves and decide the rest of them are pretty useful for protection
So on and so on.

My dog got them as a puppy. They were pretty ugly to do that but 10 seconds of research told me they'd go away as his immune system matured and developed antibodies against the virus in the papillomas.

No reason to remove it yourself unless it's interfering with your dog's quality of life.

>>2298841

There were 2 large ones which made him scratch his face all the time.

>>2298828
That sounds awfully risky, like, you were lucky nothing went wrong.

Why not just go to the store and buy one of those cans of liquid wart freeze away?

If it works well enough to kill human warts, then why wouldn't it work just as well on dogs?

>>2298358
I think you mean terrible proto-mammal

>>2298360
Though it's true that synapsids are more to mammal than lizard or mammal-like reptile, but aren't they just reptile at the end?

>>2298358
RRREEEEEEEE

I think I'd rather be homeless. I don't know why it's so difficult for people to understand why cutting off an animal's fingers to make your life easier is unethical. Glad your kitty's fingers are safe, anon.

i'd be more worried about their nasty ass piss ruining the place, personally

Either this is a thinly veiled stop-sterilization thread, or females are incapable of understanding irony

>Fresh air

Open a window. Keep your cat inside, dipshit.

Well I imagine that if you had a backyard just put a leash around him and walk him around. My neighbor's cats are both outdoor and indoor cats but they never really leave his front lawn.

How about you keep your cat inside?

All of our wildlife needs help

I love bunnies. They are so tender and delicious.

>>2297074
RABBITS! why didn't i think of it sooner. these will be perfect for my eugenics program. all natural basement dwelling rabbits fed on only the lowest quality mushrooms i can offer~
