>my 60 year old mother has never liked dogs and always said there will never be a dog in the house
>7 years ago her stepson demanded a puppy so we got one
>she instantly fell in love with it, claiming it as her own

She loves that dog more than life itself...I'm seriously worried for her mental stability once it dies, she freaks out and breaks down if he even so much as starts dry heaving.

I know nothing about aquariums, so maybe my opinion is worthless, but man that looks cool.

my granny kept goldfish, they were over 20 years old fuggen huge. When she died they were passed on to a family friend with a giant pond.

I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. Fish are deceptively hard to keep alive in tanks, especially when they're young.

I took horrible care of my Guinea Pigs when I was little. I loved going down the slide so I thought my piggies would like it too... Then I wondered why their feet were all red afterwards.

I convinced my parents to let me get a turtle when I was 7yrs old. 22yrs later the son of a bitch is still alive.

put him in the glove box of your car for the night.

"Here you go my love, a box of untrained responsibility and huge financial obligation. Love me forever"

Consistent treatments and good flea meds. Ask the vet for recommended medicines+house cleansing powders and/or treatments.

You are going to gave to battle them for a while,so the best place to ask is a vets office or the humane society and NOT brush off what they have to say. Fleas are nasty buggers and hard to get rid of.

Bed bug fag here.
Kill me

My dog succumbed to the fleas. I tried to fight them, but I didn't do enough. Please don't let this happen to your pet.

Give her an opportunity to catch and eat mice

Cats hork up furballs when they have clots of hair in their stomachs. If appears your cat has yet to consume enough fur to require horking up.

Furballs aren't actually round, they're sausage-shaped from traveling up the esophagus.

I admire your disgusting cantor. I have noticed that her barfs are long when she pigs out and eats too much food

I have the same fear, anon. Though every person I've ever told has called me an idiot cause whales are gentle creatures.

I have always had terrible nightmares about whales/waves. Though I'm not scared of any other aspect of the ocean and grew up on the coast.

The only rational reason for the fear I think is because I went on a whale-watching tour when I was really young and was petrified the whale would slap the boat with it's tail.

They are just so horrifyingly large...

i used to have nightmares about whales
they're pretty scary, just the big ones though

>>2021331
For some reason, probably mostly due to their large size and and the fact that they are mammals living among fishes, whales have gotten a reputation for being "wise, gentle giants", and this reputation is probably enough by itself to make them popular at zoos.

Nah, it's normal. I've never even owned a pet (I just lurk here occasionally to look at cute pics... something about the posters here make me feel warm and fuzzy), but I'm the same way.

>>2020820
well, I often put it this way: few idiots that I met (very rare fortunately) claim that abusing animals is ok since they are not humans. Yet I don't know how much empathy can an animal abuser have towards humans if he can't even respect animals. Needless to say all the animal haters that I met didn't really like humans either. But that's just my experience.

>>2020820
pretty much the same too, yet I don't get triggered on /b/ by edgy idiots anymore.

>>2020785
absolutely.

Every carnivore you kill would save hundreds of animal lives. So yes, I think they all should die.

I've heard that they're really friendly. It's a shame how ugly they are.

>>2023437
Sure, it's not like they're hard to keep.
As long as you're aware that they're not actually "pets" you can take out and play with (or even see regularly), go for it.
Go for an easy to keep beginner species first, get some experience and then, if you still like them, start collecting more species or breeding them.

>>2023438
Are scorpions "cool" pets to have like snakes? Or is it neckbeard-tier like Ferrets?

>>2023440
They are a niche pet at best, odd at worst

Postan.

Those are two symptoms that do indeed show when a dog has consumed chocolate.
Baking chocolate is one of the chocolates with the highest amounts of theobromine in it, which is what's poisonous to doggies.

Induce vomiting as much as you can, try to get him to drink water.

Here's a calculator on this website to help see what the severity is:

Sorry OP, Merry Christmas.
