You're an idiot to have done that if you did it without permission. I hope you cleaned up her pee and shit because that was on you. Your girlfriend needs to tell her dog to shut up and give it a swift kick in the ass.

Not really, you made her fear you more. She was scared of you, hence backing away and barking. Then you gave her a reason to fear you, by catching her while she is running, forcefully holding her even after she looses her bowls, which is another sign of fear and an attempt to get the 'attacker' (you in this case) away from her.

Instead you should go slow, offer her treats, or be the one to feed her and walk her. This way, she will know you are more than an intruder in her house and a potential threat. Good luck

if the dog also barks at your girlfriend and her family, than you may have done the right thing.Since that would meant that the dog sees itself as the alpha of the house and doesnt want you in there but if she just barks at you than that means that either

a)your girlfriend didnt introduced you to the dog, which is a very simple yet important thing to do since most house dogs are too dumb to understand that if someone is in your houe talking to the house members he/she probably isnt going to kill them or

because just like spergs they don't have any feelings.

>>2040700
I wouldnt go that far, they just think theyre the shit and rock their stupid little head around

>>2040700
I think it's the opposite, and they have too much feeling.

got stun in the cheek as a kid by a hornet

not fun

I feel your feels anon. Good news though - I was moderately to severely allergic to cats (throat would close up and itch, eyes would be beet red, hives all over my skin) and then I decided fuck it and got a cat. Ever since then, my allergies have been almost completely quelled. Once in while I will get a little rash on my neck after he kneads on me but it's completely worth it. My advice - go for it, bruh.

Same anon again. Also just remembered there are hypoallergenic dogs, and dogs with hair rather than fur (such as poodles) are much better for allergies.

My cats are fine because hey, they're plain old pound cats. One or two of my goldfish might make it if they got into a dam or river. 99% or my tropical fosh would be fucked. Chickens might make it a month or so but would probably get picked off by foxes in the end.
My sheep would last until dogs got them or their wool grew too thick. Flystrike would get them in that case.

My dog, sadly, would either starve or attack a snake and die. I'd hope for snake so its fast.

My girlfriends dogs and cats would all be slaughtered by coyote's
All but her mothers orange cat Morris that is frighteningly rabid for a medium sized cat

The rabbit's a goner. He's big, clumsy, and ain't scare of no thing.

The kitten would be absolutely fine, she was born outside and lived her first 9 weeks outside. The adult cat is disabled, but can still climb and run. She might have some trouble hunting.

meanwhile there's only 1 individual of this frog species left but I don't see you trying to save it.

>>2040383
Good point, we should only focus on the MOST endangered animal and completely ignore all others.

>>2040389
we're currently focussing on animals that aren't even endangered such as lions and rhinos.

fix those that are the most likely to go extinct first, or don't but stop pretending you care.

Poopies

So I posted this, and they're some rock formation that I found at the top of a hill in Nayarit, Sinaloa, Mexico. There were thousands of these on the ground and they seemed to be falling off the bigger rock formations.
If anyone knows anything about this type of rock formation plz tell me

jay

Garrulus glandarius. I found it by googling germany birds and scrolling down about a page.

have you been living under a rock your entire life?

they're common.

>>2040086
last thing to add

she also was a german shepard/labrador mix

>>2040086
Parvo?

>>2040105
sounds like parvo to me desu senpai

>>2035675
"best" is so subjective there is no correct answer.

>>2035675
I'm interpreting this as 'favorite'. Which would be either Hyena or Dugong

>>2035675
i am

>>2040625
ur cat has a foot fetish. it is the most common fetish

>>2040625
Mine does that to my legs and she gently bites my fingers when I'm playing with her. I'd say it's normal behavior and she just likes you.

>>2040625
She wants the D

They also don't do well in captivity.

I'd love a xenodermis but they have a 100% failure rate as far as I know.

Oh man, this little guy is so cool!

>>2038996
Buy a shrunk and mod it out for a snake tank. No one will ever know.

>>2038997
a what?
I've heard it's pretty easy to mod certain types of Tupperware as passable tanks, but I'm not sure about the heat source. my corn would be a baby while it was in the dorm anyway, so it wouldn't have to be huge. and I don't think the RAs can look in closets, so that might work haha. or under the bed.

>>2038996
why would you do that?

You're probably worrying too much.

Likely scenarios:
1) Your hand still smells like rat
2) She's gravid and thus pissy
3) She's about to go into shed and thus pissy
4) She didn't like you messing with her environment (reptiles as a whole get stressed out when you mess with their surroundings)

As long as snooter looks healthy, she's fine.

>>2040613
Thanks a lot. Thought I was but its reassuring to know. She has grown a lot so may well be due a shed. Didn't think about her being gravid, she did look big though. How do I know if this is the case? Do I need to do anything special? I was told I don't and I don't intend to breed so I wasn't planning to.

>>2040652
I should've specified that 'gravid' means pregnant, as in full of viable eggs. If you haven't breed your snake to a male, she shouldn't be pregnant.

Of course, if you got her from a pet store where co-habitation is common, she COULD be pregnant.

These are the signs of a BP being gravid.

1) Scale separation
2) Wrapping around the bowl upside down (belly up)
3) Going off feed
4) Unusual color contrast (her darker scales will seem darker, lighter areas will be lighter)
4) Unusually placid (stays in one spot, doesn't try to get out, et al)
5) Seeking heat more than usual
6) Unusually plump

If she's not gravid, then she's just ovulating and feeling pissier than usual. Snake PMS, basically.
