"defied warning signs and went off the trail" Sorry m'am but you got what was coming to ya :^)

reminds me of going to disney world and the friendly greeter warning you that the any croc you see is most certainly NOT animatronic and to stay far away from them

Did she at least get the selfie

The flap tweet one

I vote the dalmatian but only so I can have a bite of his turkey

Top doggo.

Orijen Cat & Kitten Grain-Free Dry Cat Food
Wet food is more of a reward than an everyday meal.
5 months is a good time to get his balls cut, since vets usually charge in consideration of your cat's weight and age.

Look for meat as the top ingredient.

Avoid:

"By-product"
Corn
Wheat
"Animal" product (look for "chicken meat" rather than "animal meat". Companies can really cut corners by being vague about the ingredients.)

A good middle ground is items that use oat, sweet potato, or rice as filler if you want something budget friendly. If you have the big bucks, buy the stuff that is basically just a pile of meat as the ingredients.

Tractor Supply Co is a good place to buy from.

I use Purina pro plan but I know someone is going to jump up my ass for it. It's cheap enough and the only thing my cat will eat and not throw up. It's been 5 years so he's 7 now and his fur is exceptionally soft and shiny. Must be doing something right.

My cat drinks enough water but that's rare in cats. Watch your cats water consumption. If he drinks often enough you can just give dry but if he doesn't drink a lot I would include wet in his diet

Pic of cyst, it ruptured internally

>>2291653
He looks like a trooper. I had one cut off my neck awhile back so I know his pain.

there's not really anything you can do yourself if they rupture internally. if it just bursts through the skin, you can clean it and dress it like a regular wound. but if it gets infected, you'll need to see a vet.

>>2291527
vet to check for chip and whatever
checkup anyways

do you want to keep (him/her?)?

also cute kitty looks like my old sassafrass

>>2291529
Really it would be best if she became independent like the other cats that we "have" (I mean my mother feeds the two gays and they spend all day sitting at our front door.)

>>2291536
Actually that's not very independent is it

>>2291495

Does your dog know he did wrong?
My doberman killed the cat but it was kind of my fault as I would open the sliding door and say get the cat! get the cat!
He knew he did wrong but I didnt want to scold him so in a low stern voice I said "no bad dog, you did a no no"

I think he's starting to understand his name, but other than this I dont know how else to train him. I tried with treats but as soon as he sees or smells one he won't stay put, he just jumps on my hand so I'm having trouble training him. The vet said he's still young so it's normal, but I don't know. I read posts that said they successfully taught puppies the "come" command in 48 hours after getting him. I can't even imagine that.
Am I going too fast? Am I asking too much of him? Should I start training him when he's older?
Sorry if I wrote this much but I'm desperate

Twist or flop his floppy dog ears for being a cunt (NOT TOO HARD JUST SLIGHTLY) and when he bites you, Start playing with his dog ears until he wants to go but noo, Do it for more until he starts whinning

>my newly living dog is having a difficult time with potty training
Do you not have a fenced in yard so he can run around, shit, and piss in it?
If yes but it's an issue of cleaning it up easily then just hose it down right after he goes. Your lawn will appreciate the free nutrients.

>biting
Chew toys, dingus. Ones that are appropriate for his size. I'd recommend Kong toys as my pups always prefer cutting their teeth on those every time. Also a bristled chew bone for when they're trying to chew with a particular part of their mouth.
>biting us
You should allow it as long as its not painful. When it becomes painful you should be stern, give a 'no', and playtime should cease. Disallowing it from biting you altogether will fail to teach it bite-inhibition, which could lead to a nasty biting later in its life.

>obedience
It's consistency, anon. A poorly behaved dog is poorly behaved because it was poorly trained by the owner.
>i want doge to sit down b4 i gib treet
Get his attention with treat.
Say 'sit' a couple times holding the treat out of his reach.
When he fails to sit, make him sit. Gib treat. Do this enough times and he'll get it.
>but i said 'come'
Same thing, tell him 'heel' or whatever you want the command to be. Make him and then reward him.

>>2290775
Take him to the vet and sign up for a payment plan. Other then that you can force him to ingest electrolytes.

You see where I'm going with this

And where exactly would that be

The fuck did the koala do to you? Don't be rude to that dude.

He got this "I'm gonna rape your whole family" look in his eyes.

Dude FUCK that koala!

Cats.
Just get one, don't vet it, and leave it outdoors. Congrats, you're now an animal breeder

no.
reach your hand out with palm up.

sometimes animals react to it.

>>2290644

Put yourself between your dog and the new dog, it is important your dog is perceiving you stepping up to the plate and that you calmly have the situation in control. Nobody should have their dog off leash if that is the way it is approaching other dogs. The best place to strike a dog to inflict a quick low fuss correction is to tap the bottom of its jaw so it bites its tongue.

>>2290647

Palm down is less threatening.

I'm not an animal expert, but everything I've read on human body language says otherwise.

I bet you thought you were being extraordinarily funny while you were writing this, OP.

You know I was

It says you can feed them (to some extent) but I don't know how long you can keep the colony reproducing.

I have had a jar full of seawater someone filled from a red tide and it did make bluish sparks when shaken. Lasted about a week, didn't know about what they consume. The thing is that I don't know if shaking irritates or damages them or not, and it seems mean to bang them around just for a little light show. Much better to see them in the surf.

>>2289741
>I don't know how long you can keep the colony reproducing.
they say with proper care you can keep them reproducing forever. You'd have to buy food every now and then.

I suspect this is true. Dinoflagellates are a pest in saltwater aquariums that are almost impossible to kill off.

I found a beach full of these glowing things. It was the most eerily beautiful things I've ever seen. I thought it might give me powers it was some radioactive waste but the seawater made me sick.
