i have a a pet chicken growing up and i have a pet rabbit

i've eaten both

don't really have much drive to eat omnivores except maybe a black bear once in a while if it's prepared properly

Because it's my pet and the turkey isn't. If the turkey was my companion and the dog wasn't I'd be more likely to eat the dog.

Loved pets are not food. Other edible animals even of the same species? Sure why not?

I agree with this sentiment.

I've kept four rabbits as pets over the years. This has not stopped me eating rabbit when I've had the chance.

My dog gets Bravecto (we have a discount clinic so it's like, $30 for 12 weeks) and we vacuum the carpets daily. I'd recommend getting your yard treated as well.

>>2284685
Have you tried something like trifexus? It's a flea medicine that is administered orally and it has worked wonders for me.

>>2284691
yeah but they hate it. One of my dogs makes himself puke just to get rid of the pill.

I'm assuming this sub human language is saying "I like to abuse and kill dogs because I'm a Mexican"

They are a kind of THEROPOD dinosaur.


All modern birds evolved from a common avian ancestor that had the advantage of being small and being able to cover great distances for food with flight during the K-Pg extinction. Thus it survived while all others dies out, which then lead to them diversifying into today's birds.
Not all birds can fly, but all show traits of at least being defendant from an avian ancestor.

It's hip to _____ bees

It's hip to love bees with a fiery passion. As you stare into the eyes of your many bees, you feel something kindle in your soul that you haven't felt in many years. A faint tingling in your heart and groin. Is that the bee stings? Or is it something more?

>>2284455
Pesticides can be a problem but otherwise bees probably would do well for you. Also when installing don't use the pounding method. It's much easier to remove frames and just leave the box in the hive for a week to allow the workers out.

>>2284420
I'm assuming it's meant for tiny little yippy dogs that can't.

>>2284422
Or it's also meant for dogs that are actually trained who don't just destroy random shit.

>>2284448
the dog would likely see it as a toy, and most dogs do destroy toys at least sometimes

You're watching over some bitches dog while she's out sucking and fucking everything that moves.

That's a sad life.

>didn't eat his food but still threw up
right off the bat sounds like an impaction but it could be anything. go to the vet now.

>>2284512
Or it could be severe seperation anxiety. I would give it a little longer before rushing him to the vet. At a min the vet can give him some calming medicine.

>>2284232
Kill it.

If she's about to scratch the carpet, grab her front legs, take her to the scratching post and scratch it using her paws.

Clip the nails weekly?

there's a stereotype that cats are for girls?

i thought the stereotype was that cats were for people with emotional problems

Isn't Milo a masculine name? I'd go with Mila instead for her.

looks like an Amanita. Maybe A. lilloi

>>2284172
True. I don't know much about mushrooms, but what struck me as the main difference between more common Amanitas and this one is that the stem lacks the usual "scales" I've seen in others.
Even the younger mushrooms in the pic (taken where I found them) lacked the scales.
It does look like A. lilloi, except that the stem is "fatter" in comparison google results.

>Those upskirt shots

it's this species of Bonsai
http://is.4chan.org/an/1482269774751.jpg

>>2284146
Heck off!!!!!! That is not NICE!!11!!!

Look at those branches, whatever the species it's nearly ruined.
You need to read about how to clip bonsai as soon as possible.

Try orijen. I have a notoriously picky dog and I was running back to pet smart every other week because my dog refused to eat anything more than a few bits of kibble. He got really skinny and my last ditch effort before feeding him wet only was orijen. He gobbled it up and hasn't stopped since. It's kinda top teir dog food.

Why don't you want to feed your dog fat? Dogs need fat.

>>2284054
hmmm okay, I'll order a bad of this and see if it helps

>>2284065
Well I can't imagine it's healthy for his circulatory system to be fed globs of fat. And beyond that I don't know what would be safe to feed him

Vet student here, here's my take. The tooth in question looks like its starting to get some gingivitis, however isn't the worst I've ever seen. You have a few options really, as the tooth does not looked chipped and as long as it is not causing your dog any pain you could potentially go down the therapeutic methods of trying to get rid of the plaque from his teeth, but I've not actually seen the teeth in person so it would really help to get a vet to have a look at it first.

Do you have a set of vaccinations or anything like that coming up? If you do, make sure you ask your vet about his teeth and ask if it looks like it needs extraction/ professional scale and polish.If it doesn't need extraction, there are a number of ways to improve a dogs teeth and hallitosis:

1. Clean your dogs teeth (make sure you use a dogs toothpaste however).
2. Plaque-off (or whatever equivalent brand you can get of it): I swear this stuff is magic. Some vets will swear by it, some won't- I'm in the former branch, I used it for my rough collie that had appalling teeth after a seizure on a kitchen floor chipped the vast majority of them, and it kept her plaque under control beautifully. It's basically a seaweed additive, no one seems to know how it works but it does.
3. Dental 'treats'- I've personally never seen these work and think they're a waste of time, but the research behind them suggests they help somewhat.

I would be tempted, if you have a set of vaccinations coming up, to try and brush + use something like plaque off and see how it goes for a month. Then if it really doesn't work, discuss further options with your vet. There are dental diets and all sorts of stuff out there, but it can be a bit of a minefield as to what works and what doesn't!

>>2283918

However, upon saying all of that, as I said- I've not personally seen the tooth, so really you need to get someone to have a look at it in person. If the vet doesn't want to go down scale and polish I'd suspect she/he will thrust some dog toothbrushes/plaque-off etc at you anyway, and if he does want to do a scale and polish you would do best to try and follow a better dental health program to avoid a future scale and polish in your dogs life.

>>2283918
Gonna hijack this thread a little. This Plaque-off stuff has me pretty intrigued. Anyone else here use it? Get any results?
