He's a cheeky little bastard

Looks like your average mixed mutt. Could be made of anything.
It's adorable though and no doubt a good boy.

isnt everyone on this board pretty much a vegetarian anyway?

>>2275028
I have no idea. Vegetarianism is not so good for animals either. I used to be vegetarian myself, now vegan. Please watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJIY-8sBOn4

>>2275027
its true that saying its natural isnt a valid point.
but we do need certain fats in our diet, i chose to get these fats from animals. only difference is, i keep my own cows and chickens and slaughter them myself. the meat from the bio-industry is utterly useless since it holds no nutricional value and is completely wasted by all the added hormones and penicillin.

shave head or buy lice shampoo or comb that shit for hours

>buy shampoo
We are all literally waiting for our food stamps to kick in next week with what little cash we have and goin to pantries. I won't have spending money until the middle of December but my wife fears the lice will get worse if we don't do something quick.

Burn everything. Everything.

You guys think this shit can grow hair grass on a 20 tall?

>>2274185
Its a grow light more than a tank light and I'd be a little worried about algae growth. Are you going to be running CO2?

>>2274185
It might be too much light unless you're using CO2.

>>2274188
what do you mean? there's no difference besides the two besides how nicely the fixtures sit on the tank.

>>2274101
Look at all the filth on your rugs and all that bullshit piled in your closet.
Your room is a shithole, op.

That is a very good boy, but all dogs and good boys and good girls.

I've always had quite a soft spot for Theodosia species, but obviously there are far too many animals to ever have a favourite

Doesn't Japan love rhino beetles?

Yeah they're obsessed with them, Germany also has a lot of beetle breeders for some reason. Theodosia aren't rhino beetles, however.

Sharks are fucking scary

Its entire existence is based on massive fossil teeth remains, because they were common shed teeth made of bone covered in enamel.


Its teeth were thicker than most sharks and seem to be capable of biting through whale bones; like a giant red of the sea.

We actually do not even know what it actually look like, because all it left behind was its teeth. We just assume it probably looked at least somewhat like a giant great-white or even bullshark.
Outside these things that I had mentioned, there really are no 'facts' about this creature.

>>2272436
Megalodon was the inspiration behind Peter Benchley's "Jaws".
Megalodon was also the inspiration behind a bunch of bullshit documentaries on shark week too.
It is a creature that fairy tales are made from.

You can't always be outside with your gun. The guard dog can though. Guard dog will also repel predators from your farm just from his presence.

What's the point of guns in a world where rocket launchers exist? What's the point of rocket launchers in a world where tanks exist? What's the point of tanks in a world where nukes exist?

Shit argument, fuck off underage.

>>2270321
A dog barking dissuades much, much more robbers than a "this house doesn't 911" sign with a picture of a gun.

I also have an 16 year old cat that lives with us that is not going to meet this cat ever, I think. I might introduce our old cat to one of the kittens though and see if that might cheer her up, she was a mother. Our old cat has been alone for most of her life, so I think keeping them apart is the best but I'm going to see how their moods are.

I need a setup for her actual pregnancy, I'm thinking about warm towels and maybe a cardboard box(which she could scratch to pieces if she is feeling agitated). Also washing cloths and luke warm water. I'm fully prepared to suck the guck out of the kittens nose if the mom doesn't know how to do it. It happened to my cat and the kitten almost died from suffocation but my mom sucked it right up. Tasteful, I know.

I have a pain killer for cats, its actually for cat arthritis but maybe I could give her two drops of it afterwards? I'll have to have a chat with her vet.

Any advice is really appreciated about her pregnancy, will post updates on this thread.

Don't know if you planned this already, but make sure the birthing box has high sides, with one side a little lower, so the mum can step in and out, but the kittens can't.

I think that, unless she still very scared by the time she is due to deliver, you shoul plave the birthing box in a quiet part of the living room, or some other room that has people in it often. That way the kittens can get socialized much better. Do it before birthing and not after, because the moving of the box might be stressfull for mum and the kittens.

for other tips maybe you can contact a breeder, I think they would be happy to give you some advice to make things go as smoothly as possible.

I dont have advice, but bless your hearth.
That cat look so cute. Once she get less anxious, im sure her eyes will light up.

Starting a horse general with a webm is bad luck

Damn nerve gas.

What breed are your dogs? There's a lot more people who are willing to take care of desirable breeds, whereas you'd have a hard time finding anyone to rehome even a healthy pibble.

>>2277506
Maybe see if any local rescues would be willing to take them. I know the ones in my area would absolutely not break up a bonded pair and they could at least be in foster with an approved person until the ideal owner comes up. Don't euthanize the dog if he has a manageable condition

Why didn't you train them?

It's Australia, anon. That's how it works there.

>offer post-workout protein shake

I don't know anything about basset hounds or this condition, but if she's only 1-2 years now and having issues she's probably going to really wrack up the vet bills later on. Not to mention, it'd be a bummer if you couldn't go on runs with your bud.

I'm not aware of any issues you might have with the golden retriever. Unless he was malnourished for a long time, should be okay.

>>2277414
the girl I talked to said that its a common thing in bassets and that she might develop arthritis later on but it's not associated with anything else, I just wanted more input because I don't know anything about them either. I'll probably talk with the vet about it too I guess

>runs
honestly I don't want a dog for that, I'm really introverted and have bad anxiety and just want a dog to hang out with. I work from home as a programmer and have a pretty generous stable income so more than anything I just want a companion to keep me company I guess. an older pitbull is what I actually wanted, but I didn't realize that the house I rent has restrictions on pitbulls, Rottweilers, German shepherds, and huskies.

Pyrs are really independent and don't like to listen straight away (they'll do what you ask but in their own time). I rescued one a few months ago and he was nice but withdrawn as well. After being with him a bit, he really opened up and became a huge cuddle bug. I guess it's just in the breed to be nice but not affectionate with people they don't really know.
