maybe this'll stay a wip or maybe it won't, either way what's more fun than learning that ur bandmate can't hold her drink than by finding her sitting in a dark corner mid way through the afterparty
Not to be dramatic but please don't let tiktok convince you that your indoor, couch-potato dog needs a bath every day or even every other day.
The amount of videos I see of people bathing their dogs that suggest they're making this a part of some daily routine is giving me the vapors.
Unless your dog is rolling in manure, playing in the ocean, or rolling in dirt and then coming over to sleep on your couch DAILY, then they DO NOT NEED A DAILY BATH.
Over-bathing your dog CAN actually damage most coats. They will not benefit from constant shampooing and washing. Just let them live. Brushing and de-tangling long coats has WAY more benefits and way more dogs need to be brushed daily than bathed daily.
Yesterday Odesa said goodbye to Ketty the dog, killed by a russian cluster missile on April 29th.
Many dogs were present at the farewell ceremony for Ketty, including dogs who work in Ukrainian Emergency Services. This farewell was to honor the memory of all animals who became victims of this horrible unjust war.
you cannot fight against Animal Rights Activist bullshit for only certain circumstances and spew ARA rhetoric when a situation pulls at your heartstrings.
Agricultural animals can be kept and produce eggs, dairy, fiber, etc. ethically given they are provided proper housing, water, food, vet care and enrichment.
Given proper housing, water, food, vet care, and enrichment dogs can live fulfilling lives outside of the interior of the home. Extreme weather is NOT dangerous for specific breeds of dogs (this goes both ways for hot and cold temperatures).
Given proper housing, water, food, vet care, and enrichment wild animals can live full lives out of the wild and in the care of conservation focused zoos.
one of my HCs for john is that he really likes animals, like to the point where he could get distracted if a dog passed by and leave mid conversation just to go pet it.
unfortunately, ever since he became the spot, most animals....do not like him anymore, and generally avoid, attack, or growl/hiss at him if he gets too close.
...unless hes got food to bribe them with, that is. but they leave as soon as they get what they want. it sucks.
another hc i have is that ironically enough, spot also really likes spiders. his stance on them is that theyre horribly underrated and misunderstood- nobody gets them! but theyre not creepy, theyre incredibly wonderful, complex and interesting animals, which really do deserve more respect and better treatment, and people would understand that if they just tried to put their prejudices aside and got to know them a little more! projecting much? also. hypocrisy.
i mean, seriously, he cared enough to get sad about the 42-spider dying. look at this!
