pretty sure it's an assassin bug; bite hurts like ass

>>1994017
where do you live, cause this is the first time that i saw it in my climate zone

>>1994017
Thank you, but where do you live i have never seen some kind of bug in my climate zone

Please someone help.
Tossie really needs to put on weight,
he freezes all the time and it's just very unhealthy for him to be that skinny.
i feed him about 200 grams dog food in the morning, then i feed him throughout the day with human food, like meat etc. so he can put on weight but it doesn't seem to help, i'll again feed him about 200 gram food when it's dinner time. I don't know what the owners feed him when he is home. all i know is that they say he's food is high in protein

He is a English toy/Dwarf Pincher, mixed with a dachshund . He has very long legs and is almost perfectly build for running.
so he isn't a big dog but not a small one either, i would say he sould weigh about 10 - 15 kg, maybe 20. but he does not weigh close to that, he weighs at least 10 kg to little

His owners sound like they don't have enough time or desire to properly care for their dog.

Not giving you his food when you take care of him 10 hours a day seems unreasonable.

>>1993708
yes and press on their tongue, it's funny and usually makes my dogs play full!

I work at a shelter and do this to the new arrivals too. yes I know it's a as idea but hey I haven't gotten bitten yet

>>1993708
Yes. I did it so often to my one dog that he would turn his head away from me when he would yawn.

>Is this really true
yeah.
>if we're to say they ARE dinosaurs, then shouldn't we also say we're some sort of shrew thing?

They belong to the clade Dinosauria, making them Dinosaurs.

birds are dinosaurs, but it is especially true since modern birds are closer related to "true" dinosaurs than half of them were to each other.

Get a couple of really big dogs that can bark at/scare away the coons

Live among them and earn their respect, become their alpha and lead them in ritual suicide,

So you pulled out a bunch of mushrooms without knowing what they are, fuck you.

I don't understand...

Some dogs are legitimately afraid of fireworks but still those people are being huge alarmist fags. If you put the animal in a darkened at least someone muffled space it really can't get that fucking terrified and imagining maybe you do have a dog that truly loses its shit to an unhealthy extent, we'll go to the vet and vet and get it some puppy benzos for one goddamn day a year and get over it. The idea of banning something that some peoples dogs don't like is absurd. Even if the dog doesn't like it, the dog wil be fine. If you're convinced it will not be fine you can take the dog somewhere away or give it a chill pill.

I mean fireworks are really not any more loud, bright, and frequent as a big thunderstorm and we can't ban those so it's just silliness to talk about banning fireworks for this reason.

Personally none of my dogs really care.

Gentle pressure calms shit down. For example the cattle shoot that they use to vaccinate cattle clamps down on them and they chill a lot. And that's where the term "hugbox" comes from. A device that applies gentle pressure all over ones body soothes autists and others. Or like swaddling a new born baby. The thunder shirt takes advantage of that response.

Look up saurian, it looks pretty promising IMO

wow, thats beautiful.

Goat Simulator is pretty fun, if not quite as realistic as you described.

>I browse the aq general enough to know that any artificial fish environment needs to have frequent water changes.
not true.
water changes are solely for nitrate and phosphate export.

plants consume nitrates and phosphates, so in aquaponics water changes aren't necessary or helpful.

what is helpful is using fish and plants you can eat. Tilapia are the most common fish grown. Usually you have chickens eating the plants and insects. Their shit drops through a screen into the pond, and the tilapia eat the shit. Then the water polluted with fish waste is used to fertilize grains and other food crops, some of which is fed to the chickens.

if you're in a temperate zone where freezing is a problem you'll probably need a greenhouse for both the fish and the plants' sake.

>>1993037
I was thinking more along the lines of the fact that since I will have to perform water changes for my decorative fish pond to keep my goldfish healthy, then why not put that pond water to use and rig up an aquaponics system that runs off of the pond water collected during the water changes. So, in essence, the whole aquaponics angle is just a side thing to the fish pond itself.

I'm just wondering if it's worth the effort in the long run, due to how large I am planning this pond to be. Or if I should simply stick with a boatload of buckets and simply dumping the pond water down the drain.

No, none of that is necessary. How do you think fish ever even existed if it was impossible for them to live in ponds without massive human efforts? It's a pretty simple matter of not overstocking the pond and MAYBE a few lava rock filters if you want to be fancy and a teeny waterfall to circulate. I had a koi pond about as big as a large deep hot tub and it never required anything like that besides a few extraordinary circumstances with duck weed and a goldfish invasion both necessitating a full vacuuming out.

If you're going to have a bunch of super fancy fat shit goldfish who are too deformed to swim right like ranchu or something then yeah maybe you're going to have to run it like a hospital tank but if you want just some koi, regular goldfish, or pond stock fish then all of this is unnecessary.

Of course if you're interested in aquaponics all to itself maybe there is something neat you can do with it but it's entirely unnecessary just to your decorative pond scheme.

where in the front part of a dog do I kick it so that it'll fuck off and stop trying to bite me?

what are dogs exactly? are they a type of bear? because sometimes they look like horses too so I'm not sure which kind of thing they are?

>>1992927
dogs are just dogs man. they're like bears but they're also like seals and weasels. they're not much like bats but they're like raccoons.

>>1992820
Argiope aurantia probably.

>>1992827
I've been surfing images for that, but I haven't found any with the silver back?
