So does he not dig at night? I don't see where it is okay to let him out at night but not in the day?

>>2092122
How big is the enclosure, are you talking a box sized thing or a shed or a big enough run?
>he shits everywhere
He still a pup but will be needed to train him out of it
>he sometimes digs and ruins my mom's flowers
Can be trained out of it.
>other than these there is concern about the safety of people entering the yard...
Whats the concern him getting stolen or him attacking? Either way invest in a fence.

Do you think your parents are good owners? Because it sounds like they tend to be the time to get a dog, get bored and have a glorified lawn ornament.

>>2092173
How do I train him out of this?
About the size of a shed, he can't gallop around.
There is a fence, and the concern is about him attacking people, he displayed a bit of aggressivness towards a gipsy

Definitely a brown recluse.
Better burn your house down.

Thanks.

I would recommend that you bury the cat into the ground and plant the tree on top of it. There is no point in putting both into a planter and it will most likely kill the tree if you want the tree to symbolize the whole life-comes-from-death circle of life thing. I'm sorry to hear about the cat, too.

>>2092000
I would, problem is this property is rented. So not only am I not really allowed to, I can't really take the tree with me.

I was skeptical that it would work. Or, it would, I'd probably just need a huge fucking pot.

You could always have the cat cremated and use the ashes in the dirt. Bit more expensive but you can use a smaller pot, making it easier to take with you

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONKKKKKK!

Because they are social creatures.

Explain why this creature exists.

Animal abusers should be treated the same as child abusers. Inb4 guys like bugguy who have no concept of compassion.

>>2091833
I agree entirely: socially and legally the same.

If an extraterrestrial observed two species and found that one fed the other, cleaned up their feces, pet them and generally gave them a lot of attention - what do think they would conclude who was the dominant species?

>>2091665
thanks jerry seinfeld

>>2091657
nah they love us unconditionally

>>2091651
Why wouldn't you? There are so many homeless cats out there, you are an asshole if you add to that....also, my female cat became a much better pet after her spay

>>2091670
I really hate this "why would you add to that" response. You're not. An unaltered animals mere existence does not add to the population.
I have not had a dog neutered in a decade. None of them have reproduced. Thanks, properly managing my animals.

>>2091651
My "Hobby" is picking abandoned kittens and give them a better life with some family. So i have them spayed/neutered, because these people, while nice, are (usually) awful at taking care of kittens with less than 3 months.

The only calming aid I've ever heard of working is the thunder jacket.

I would reccomend getting your dog used to the car. Take him in the car while you run errands. Take him to a dog park like an hour or 2 away. He'll hopefully start to recognize car rides as fun, and not freak out.

My dogs used to by antsy in the car, but I started taking them to a dog beach about an hour away and now they hop right in and settle down when they get in.

>>2091601
Will this work for a 14 hour drive over 2-3 days?

>>2091754
I took my dog on a road trip. The total time in the car was somewhere around 24 hours due to us being stuck for four hours after there was an accident.

My dog ended up being really stressed out from the ride, and this manifested in gatrointestinal distress. He didn't want to eat his food, but he ate spiky grass at one stop and he ended up having diarrhea, which then became bloody diarrhea. The emergency vet we took him to was REALLY shitty and only served to stress him out more.

He never freaked out in the car, he just lay there quietly as we drove. He did bother us when he needed to go to the bathroom and when he was thirsty, but that was it. Poor guy.

All that said, ask your vet about Cerenia for potential carsickness. I had it on hand, but it didn't do anything to prevent that diarrhea.

> all I have is a room with a mattress on the floor
Don't get a pet

>>2091587
No no, I have money, I just decided to go the minimalist approach. I have a desk, and a drawer, a mirror. It's barebones.

>>2091587
I don't have a bed. I'm not poor, I just prefer to sleep on the floor because I'm weird.

And OP, why a flightless bird? Do you mean a bird with clipped wings or an actual flightless bird? Because then good luck with that. As for the feces, birds just don't have hard feces.

You should be watering every day for the first two weeks. Then once every two or three days. If you live in an area where it's really hot in the summer, go back to watering daily.

It's really freaking tough to overwater shrubs. Like, near impossible.

The yellow leaves are no big deal at all. It's really common, and they'll snap out of it. It's just a minor nitrogen deficiency, and you can use some water soluble fertilizer to perk it up if it's really bugging you.

Honestly, it looks and sounds like you are doing everything right.

Roses are the most boring, overused plants. Plus they look shit and require pruning.

Fuck roses.

Best rose = Zéphirine Drouhin
Truly thornless, repeat blooming, great as a shrub or a climber, neon bright color, smells amazing.

Sorry, anole lizard**

>>2091097
If he's native to the land you found him in, then it isn't too cold-he may have been hybernating and you could risk possibly killing him by taking him out of the environment that he knows how to survive in.

If you figure out what type of lizard it is, google a caresheet for it as soon as you can. Best thing to do would just be to put him back near some logs or something that he could hide under so it doesn't freeze his body.

>>2091098
you appear to be right. It looks like an anole. Like the other guy said, if he is native, leave him be, if not, get a care sheet and a proper set up for it.
