Just like with finding any well bred animal, there's a good chance you will have to travel quite a ways to get a healthy animal of the breed you want.

How's everyone doing?
I just got an internship at a lab studying Leafcutter ants, and I am the mycologist they brought on to look at the fungus side of things. They think that the only relevant aspect of the fungus is its caloric value, but little do they know...

I also harvested this cluster of Oyster mushrooms off of >>2403969 . Looking good, I am surprised I fruited these indoors with the high temp/low humidity conditions in my area.

Congrats on the internship! Do ants cultivate fungi like termites do? I wasn't aware. Also, I found a log in the woods with Ganoderma tsugae. how long does it usually take to get a mature specimen after sprouting?

Dearest Cousin Johnathon,

I am in receipt yours, Apr. 2'd, 1863.
I can scarcely contain my astonishment, dear cousin, at this bold and usurpious news you relayed therein!

Are you telling me in your latest post that a bird has been derived from the venerated Dinosauria Owen only so recently erected? It has been but a scant two decades and onon we find birds all but ruining the very image of the blessed thunder lizards! However shall this madness end, dear Johnathon? If another dinosaur is found with veritable feathers upon its very continent I know not how I shall be forced to act! Only the One True Lord knows how a man can bear such diabolical evolutions and contortions of the very corpus reptilian!

Yours ever in blood and faith,
Anonymous

May the first, Year of our Lord 1863

I feed turtles under this foot bridge. A few snapping turtles sometimes cone up to the surface.

How hard would it be to catch one? They are slow; im more worried about them biting me

grab them from the back half because their necks can reach the center of their shell

>They are slow
They can and will move faster than you think, especially if they feel threatened.
You'll still be able to catch them easily enough, just don't take them being slow for granted.

You're just not looking at the right features of the majestic Sandpiper!

The semipalmated has fabulous white edged feathers, the western has a regal and upright posture that one should expect of the old western kings and finally you have the baird's which perfectly depicts it's namesake the hero Baird who was known for his massive pectorals.

Back in the time of dinosaurs, the only mammal was a shitty little tree shrew that eventually grew into all sorts of things. Some of the things it became were the primates, which weren't very fast or strong but were pretty smart. Eventually the primates used their superior intelligence and thumbs to take over the entire planet.

That's basically how it went anyway.

Same. Reading stories about them is always neat. I hear if you mention a skinwalker near a Navajo, you can hear their assholes pucker and the sound of them start to sweat.

Used to really be into it when I was younger, would rent books and kinda always knew it was BS buy still wanted something to be real. That bigfoot hoax a couple years back kind of reminded me how silly the whole thing was. In fact most of them outside of the classic/folklore ones are really lame. Like for bigfoot, nessie, mothman, it's kind of fun to think about what people really saw, and the answer is usually pretty simple.

For example a coyote with mange could be easily be misinterpreted as a black leathery chupacabra and attacking goats seems logical too

Things like the fucking Jersey Devil... All I can say is come the fuck on. Some guy on a camping trip sees a deer:

>IT HAD WINGS
>AND HORNS
>THE TAIL OF A DRAGON
>IT SPOKE TO ME ABOUT SATAN

I do only know one person who washes her dog regularly, but he has skin problems... maybe because of the frequent bathing?

/an/, how bad did I fuck up

I have a regular sized golden retriever. She's 13 years old. Her time is nigh and she's stopped eating much. Her fur hides it but underneath her fur she's like a walking skeleton.

It makes me feel awful to see her like this so I've been routinely feeding her meats, whereas she would normally just eat dry dog food. It's mostly cooked meats that aren't going to get eaten.

Well just now I had some chicken wings that I knew nobody was going to eat so I decided to give them to her. She got really excited and managed to eat an entire chicken wing before I got her under control. There was a fair amount of crunching as she chewed it up but she seemed to swallow it fine and came back begging for more.

How bad did I fuck up. Please no memes I can't take it. If my dog dies a painful death because of my mistake I will literally kill myself. She's close to death anyways but now I'm imagining sharp bone shards shredding her intestines. Please give it to me straight.

Just keep an eye on her. If she vomits, tries to vomit, vomits goopey white shit, scratches at her neck a lot, can't shit, can't get up or move around a lot then you fucked up.

Also consider getting her euthanized. Dogs do not get emaciated just because they are old. She could have cancer or even her teeth may be so shit it's painful for her to eat so she doesn't.
If you truly love your dog you will let her go if she is suffering.
>>
>>2456393
She'll probably be fine, most dogs handle chicken bones just fine, especially if they were raw.

Check her stool every time she goes poop and see if there's blood in it over the next 2 or 3 days. If there's blood take her to a vet and if not she's likely fine.
>>
>>2456393
My lab has eaten chicken bones quite a couple times (not on purpose) and was totally fine
It'll be okay anon, just keep an eye on her

every time i try to play guitar, piano or just play some music through speakers, my dog goes fucking nuts.
she's only been doing it about a year but it's getting worse and finally made me fuckin snap.
Playing guitar is the only thing i enjoy, and every time i touch it the dog goes fucking ape shit, bites the amp, cries, barks non stop. (ur playing must suck hur hur, im only playing very mellow stuff, at tv volumes)
I used to try spray the dog with water which seemed to somewhat work (hardly)
but now it appears my dog has developed water defense and doesn't give a shit anymore.
jack russell btw
it's killing me and i keep fucking snapping at the dog and am going to have a mental breakdown.
sounds like autistic rage, but imagine not being able to do the only thing you enjoy.
how do i make it stop?
