Amy looks like a fat ugly cunt

>>2022928
It makes me sad that anyone would support breeding animals so fucked up like this. If you bought this cunt from a breeder, you're a dickhead.

Merry Christmas! I hope Santa kicks your ugly dog in the face!

Actually they don't.

>>2016467
Fun fact: they do.

Today's first poop was perfect, no diarrhea or blood at all!

>Could something be wrong or am I just over analyzing every tiny thing?
probably both. if he's eating again and you don't see any more blood, he's probably okay.

was it bright red blood? he could have torn his butthole slightly pooping so much.

eating wet cat food and cheese could explain it.

>>2023803
It was pretty bright red. There were two separate puddles of diarrhea, the larger one was fine, but the smaller one (about the size of a beer bottle cap) was pretty much pure bright red.

I just got home, I had someone watching him all day, he ate all of his lunch and had a normal poop around 1, then had another one just before I got home. He also doesn't seem as tired as he was yesterday. Hopefully this means he's alright

It'll never be happy, it's too beta.

>>2023872
Get at least a 5 to 10 gallon, 10 gallon preferably, give it some company like ghost shrimp or African dwarf frogs, and feed it pellets or flakes. To see if they're happy they'll be swimming happily and not laying on the bottom.

because most of nature isnt actually beautiful

I disagree.

>>2023756
True, this is pretty annoying.
We need a general for dogs and cats.

>>2023650

Those cookies would contain such a low amount that I highly doubt it would do anything even if it was toxic.

No, ginger isn't toxic to dogs. A quick google search could have solved this for you.

>>2023518
Why are mushrooms growing in a litter box? ?

>>2023522
Through some combination of wee and maybe poo in warm conditions?

>>2023524
That doesn't seem right though. Isn't kitty litter supposed to absorb moisture?

>>2023436

It varies.

Ring various vets and get a few quotes. Then look into care credit if needs be/PDSA if you're UK based.

I've gotten up at 4am to look at geese but my intention was to shoot them with my shotgun and not a camera.

Its like pokemon for the real world.

There's something incredible about seeing a bird that only a few people will ever see.

But your question is silly, why would people fly across oceans, travel for hours for a look at an elephant they can see in a zoo?

Bug collectors are even worse.

I'm obsessed with birds but I've only gone out of my way once or twice to view some, such as snowy owls that decided to show up in a large group. It was like an hour drive for that, and another drive was to go watch some seals. My other bird watching adventures just goes along with hiking/taking walks, because I like to be outdoors. I also stop to watch deer, moose and bears(from a distance, of course).

I just like the outdoors and I guess bird watching is just similar to sitting by your fishtank. Its just nice to look at it.

I guess we can start off with the DON'Ts of dog raising. What are the most common mistakes and misconceptions you see in the most ordinary house hold environment

She's not a quarter wolf. Try clicker training lots of sites

>>2023401
Would you say clicker training yields better results as opposed to treat based rewards. Should I do both or is it one of those trial and error sort of things

>>2022746
Probably some bacteria that kills zombie viruses.

Pomeranian.

>>2022746
Chihuahua.
Tie it to a random streetlight, up high.
Let it bark for hours.
The rest of the town is now zombie-free as they all gather below the piñata.

i would love to have a greyhound or whippet. The thing is a dog, any dog, would be a poor pet choice for me. I just don't have the time and energy to do a good job of it.

2nd floor apartment here.

Great Pyrenees, Malamute, Irish wolfhound, Japanese Akita, Leonberger

Giant breeds are love

nice memes m8

Usually in the rare cases where my dogs have bitten me, all I had to do to make them stop was give them a savage beating.

You're already doing what you should be, but there's a few more things you can do to get her to stop:

When she nips you and you say "OW"/yelp, you should also make it clear that playtime/interaction stops when she does this.

This means that if you're playing and she gets nippy, you yelp and then leave the room and ignore her completely for a moment. It doesn't take long for them to realize that if they want playtime and attention, they can't bite.

Alternatively, she's all hyper and you are walking through the house and she's chasing after your heels and nipping at you: do the yelp/"OW" thing, then just stand still until she moves on. A moving target is fun and interesting and that's what compels her to chase and nip. If you stop moving and stand motionless and boring (again, ignoring her) it's not fun anymore. She'll eventually figure this out.

Just continue doing what you're doing, implement the above tips, and be consistent. I know it can be kind of a pain in the ass dealing with nippy puppies but she'll figure it out and grow out of her nippy stage.

Good luck with your puppy! I love herding breeds.

Scruff them severely, force them onto their back, spray them with the smelly shit, and then put them outside

Stuff like that

You're talking about a breed that's literally been bred for hundreds of years to specifically herd livestock, which involves nipping and biting them to get in line, so good luck lol

I have one and my only problem is that he's inexhaustible, fucking thing can run for 3 hours straight a day and not be tired, so he gets really whiny about going outside even after the point a normal dog would be dead tired

Snake will have to be kept away from the cats regardless of their age.

Colubrids are generally the easiest to start with; corns, kings, milks. Small boids; Kenyan sand boa, eosy boa. Ball pythons often get mentioned but, due to their eating habits, some new keepers get frustrated with them.

Google care sheets for each species.

>>2023306
*Rosy boa. Not eosy.

>>2023283
Those two animals don't mix well at all. They will need complete separation at all times. If the snake is too small the cat will try to kill it and if the snake is too big the snake will try to kill the cat.

tl;dr version: look into ball pythons and corn snakes and branch out from there
