BLUES CLUES

911. After what you wouldn't be able to call after the poison kills you if this wasn't fake.

>>2212790
Obviously the actual picture isn't fake, though doubtful it's OP's. People handle this animal but at the least I hope people on on stand by even if it's just someone breathing for you. Venom typically is not the first resort but you'd have to be a special kind of stupid to handle one knowingly without aid near by if not for the fact their venom sets in very fast. Rattlesnakes and spiders are babyshit compared to one.

>you'll never have a trench with gators around your house because you're eurofag

>you will never know the pleasure of owning a miniature army of gators that protects your property from catfags and anti catfags

Should honestly just kill myself at this point.

You might not care about her but I know she'll feel grateful. Nice of you to help out the dog.

>>2212542
you are a good person. I hope she accepts. If not you should intervene by maybe contacting some animal rights people? I dont know.

>>2212548
I can do it without calling. It's just fleas. I'm dog people.

Besides, we've lived next to each other for 17 years. I lent her dad my lawnmower. I borrowed his snow blower. That kind of thing. He and I figured out how to make pizza on a barbecue grill when the power was out for two days once. (it requires bricks).

Yesterday I just hopped the fence and sprayed him down with hydrated silica, because I had some left over. If I had videoed it, it would have become an instant hit in a /b/ gore thread. Erupting fleas by the hundreds. And its not just the imagery that kills my will to live, it's the plum-fuck ignorance that allowed it to get this far. MRI Dog project, you know? They are unique in the animal kingdom. We made them. We made them for us. They exist for us. We made them that way. They know nothing in life but to seek and maintain human companionship.

My appointment is in 90 minutes. Fucking taking forever.

>>2212513
Why?

Also, are you mad?

>>2212513
I mean
is it REALLY impossible?

what?

Dogs actually love you

Some cats are fucking drama queens, yeah. One of the few I raised from 2 weeks old became aloof when she turned 4-5 months old, idk what's up with that

But most of the cats I've met actually snuggle up to me, even if I have no food. Maybe it has something to do with my disposition. Pic related, stray that slept on my lap for no reason

>>2212391
>dogs love that you feed them and will kill a family member without notice

Ftfy

some shelter dogs are fine, just ask around and don't just get the first pretty dog you see.

Older dogs are not as hayai

>>2212370
Definitely ask if the dog is house trained. While many of the adult dogs at least have a partial understanding of house training, not all dogs were and some dogs have gotten the idea that going to the bathroom with someone around is a big no no. It wasn't common, but I did have to re-train dogs who would actually only shit inside.

So yeah, look for older, well trained dogs. Ask if they are house trained, be prepared to put the dog on a schedule and expect some accidents at first because the dog's life has probably changed a lot in the matter of a few days.

Poison Ivy lat. Datura Stramonium

>>2212331
Very possibly Japanese Knotweed. Shit's invasive as hell and very hard on riparian (river side) species. The only way to get rid of it is to dig it up and burn it on site. All of the roots need to be burned.

Reminds me of pokeweed. See picture. Unfamilair with poison ivy, since I'm from Europe.

I should really spellcheck my larger post, mobile posting gives me aids

How are you afraid if small dogs? I think ferrets would do ok so long as you have two. How often and when are you able to play with a pet? Ferrets are most active at dawn and dusk so that may not work with your schedule. I don't know typical EMT hours, if there are any.

>>2212336
Dawn and dusk is when I'm not transporting old people and giving field dressing to car accident victims :D

For the small dogs thing, when I was little a small dog that a neighbor destroyed my hand after the neighbor gave permission to pet it

>>2212262
>It's good for dogs' digestion too

My dog is a picky eater who likes the taste of grass. He'll hold out on breakfast so he can eat the grass instead and then he'll vomit bile.

My rabbits love it, it's really good for them.

>>2212283
>my rabbits like to eat grass
No
Fucking
Shit

Ring back the vets and ask for a mild painkiller, say the other ones given are starting to wear off and your dog seems extra distressed.

You should get a dose to sort her out for the night and tomorrow hopefully the cries will mostly be from wanting to get out of her cone instead if pain.

>>2212160
She hasn't got a cone and the pain killers she was on is from surgery.

>>2212164
Not the anon that originally responded, but they didn't give you anything to take home? Hell if I got my balls chopped off I'd at least want a few percocets so I could sleep that night

>>2212107
>but it was also obvious that Harambe didn't want to harm the child.
nah, fuck that ape. Gorillas are not stupid, they know that draggging by a leg is not how you treat children. Harambe was just an asshole

>>2212133
If he wanted to kill the child, don't you think he would have?

>>2212133
Gorilla young are more resilient, I'd expect a silverback do to that in emergency.

my dog hates them but won't walk on ice unless he wears them so i don't fucking know

he mostly just stays inside in the winter

>>2212020
Dog booties are simple as fuck, because their names don't have arches or balls. So there's not much fitting or anything to it for it to fit improperly. As long as it's big enough to fit comfortably it should be good but idk how well it will do on long hikes

Bro pizza isn't good for dogs.

>>2211999
Likely traumatizing to both the babies and mother. Or at least primarily the babies.

>>2212330
I mean he's going to eat them anyway, so...

plus, the fear makes the meat taste better

i always beat my chickens around a bit before breaking their necks, it works wonders. guests always remark on how much better they taste than the market variants
>inb4 petafags deny me the right to eat

I'm not one to get sad, or even cry, I'm 22 and have lost my mother and close family already, but death doesn't bother me or make me sad, yet finding the cat i had since its birth and was 'my' cat having a stroke in the garden one summer i had to lock myself in my room and just cry, i couldn't even be with her and comfort her on her way out.

I was in my room telling myself if she's not dead and out of misery in so and so minuets i'll drown her to help her end it.

it was awful to watch, they go blind and just cry outloud and have spasums.

I miss her.

>>2211952
It's inevitable

just accept it, cry if you need

If you took good care of them, then don't be sad

>>2211966
I'm... so sorry, anon. I'm sorry she had to go in such a way. My father also passed, and it affected me, of course - quite a lot, actually. But seeing such an innocent and precious creature go terrifies me. How can life be so cruel? Is that creature just going to be "another cat who died"? Is it significant? Am I significant?

I think I need to sit down. I'm having a bit of an existential crisis.

>>2211874
pines are just hard to transplant.

>>2211875
What do I do?

>>2211882
not enough nutrients

pot plants (especially fucking saplings) need fertilizer, a lot of it
