#they’re just like other dogs

[flurriethefox]

Something I hate seeing on social media is the hate on pit bulls. Like, there is nothing wrong with them.

Yes, they used to be fighting dogs. USED TO. They aren’t anymore. I have met multiple pit bulls and every single one of them were some of the sweetest dogs I have ever met.

This isn’t the 50s/60s anymore, dog fighting isn’t acceptable. Pit bulls aren’t gonna eat your children, don’t worry. I know, it’s a shocker. The hostile pit bulls aren’t like that by nature, it’s their owners that are the problem. They’re hostile because their owners couldn’t give less of a shit and trained them wrong.

Please. Pit bulls aren’t the dogs of the devil, you’ll live. Try showing them less hate, maybe you’ll notice they’re not killers. They’re just pets with a bad reputation because of previous people’s mistakes. I understand if people have a fear of dogs or just big dogs. That’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just pit bulls specifically that get this kind of hate and I despise seeing it.

ACNH AU but it’s just Chil as Tom Nook giving out lax loans to people in need with his half-foot guild, and his close friend Isabelle Marcille helping out and hanging around. Been playing ACNH and came to the realization that Tom Nook & Isabelle give Chil & Marcille energy, and immediately had to draw it…

Man wanted to retire early but still hasn’t stopped. What I want for post-canon Chilchuck is just for him to have Tom Nook energy fr fr

skk started calling each other babygirl as a joke… turns out somewhere along the way it stopped being a joke and became an endearment that follows their insults

You could really try to tell me which qsmp couple is the best at the whole sun and moon thing but everytime if it was not Fooligetta you would be wrong. Because it just is Foolish and Vegetta every time, no competition.

You’re telling me Mr Sun Bird at the top of the dragon tower Foolish with shining golden skin and an ability to make everyone smile is not the embodiment of the sun? Or that Mr Lobo Nocturno, night wolf that turns from human into wolf during the night all while having a passion for the colour purple and only shining so long as it’s lover shines too isn’t symbolic of the moon?

Kep unexpectedly got a chance to score himself an A+ grade in Being A Collie tonight!

I let the dogs out for the last potty and suddenly Keps tearing off after what’s obviously a rabbit he startled. Now my yard is the ONLY one on our street that’s fenced but rabbits just fucking love to dig in under the gate and fuck up my flower garden, so I hate them. And this rabbit is clearly so panicked it forgot where it came in, because it’s racing in laps around the yard and slamming into the fence to try and escape. This goes on for a good 1-2 minutes and Kep is tailing this thing like a gd coursing hound, he is INTENT (Stellina also chased but visibly lost interest halfway through once the rabbit kept repeating its laps). And then finally the rabbit just freezes in some brush along the back fence in sheer panic/exhaustion… and Kep just stands there, looming over it, muzzle punching it. Not biting, not pawing. Just “hey, move.” now I don’t particularly care what happens to this rabbit but I’m also not the kind of asshole who let’s my pets torment wildlife so after it clearly wasn’t going to move anymore I picked up Kep and carried him back to the house, which he was quite miffed about. Hopefully bunny catches its breath and remembers how to leave the yard overnight.

but I am proud of Kep, because that was exactly what a collie should have done! Herding drive = prey drive, the only difference is that in herding dogs their drive is modified to be fully stalk-chase and no catch-kill (as compared to a dog like a greyhound, whose drive is (CHASE-catch-kill). But a herding dog who bloodies the livestock is useless, so that’s bred away from. Maybe he would try to bite if he were older, or if it was a rat or mouse as opposed to a (comparatively) large rabbit. But he showed excellent collie instincts and I definitely need to test him on sheep once he’s a bit older.

i’m writing a new chapter of a vg several aus fic of mine and i love it so far bc

1: jason gets a good mother figure (sally) who takes both him and his sister in when they’re young and raises them

and 2: jason is a werewolf and i decided that makes him a very clingy (and dramatic) boy. leo is ofc the main victim of his clinginess

what dog would icemav get?

im guessing no mangy devil chihuahuas or rescues (compacflt can't be seen with anything but a purebreed) golden retriever might be too on the nose, how about a malinois or a german shepherd maybe an english bulldog (ugly)

idk. i don’t really have a dog in this fight (i don’t care) (pun intended). but it definitely would have to be like a Real Dog. yeah nothing smaller than 70 lbs. a Real Dog. other than that i don’t have any opinions. could be a mutt or a rescue! but it would have to be, you know, handsome and upstanding and like, a Real Dog that you can, like, do stuff with. it is very cliche and on the nose and maybe im only saying this bc i, like, don’t care at all about dogs but ice does seem like the white lab/golden retriever guy and mav strikes me as a german shepherd guy. there are many reasons i don’t think they would ever have a dog (what would they do with the dog?) but not being able to agree on the breed might be one reason they never get a dog. arguing and bickering etc

i get the idea but i can’t quite get behind the people on instagram acting like their dog being reactive is some devastating life event that makes them “grieve” the dog they wanted. your dog is fine. you can still do amazing things with your dog. having a reactive dog doesn’t mean you can’t take them on hikes, out in public, etc. muzzle train. put the extra work in to counter-condition their reactivity. i’ve had reactive dogs my entire adult life and it never stopped us from kayaking, hiking, going to breweries, out to eat on patios, and to family events (i’ve taken milo to family christmas gatherings with no issues). it’s different if your dog is aggressive, but just having a reactive dog is not the end of a fun life together. it’s harder, but you don’t have to “grieve” anything. yike

things aren’t going well with peach. while i think my dad’s very right to be concerned that she hasn’t eaten anything in nearly 60 hours (obviously i am too), im becoming increasingly concerned that she hasn’t slept at all in around 36 hours and prior to that she was under anaesthetic, which isn’t exactly restful, so it’s closer to 48 hrs

like dad took her back to the vet today and we’ve got injections for her painkillers now because she’s not eating, and also injections for fluids (because she doesn’t drink; she only gets water from her food), so the not eating is Bad but also kinda under management, but if she doesn’t sleep soon i’m extremely worried. dad was like ‘if she doesn’t eat by tomorrow afternoon we’ll take her back because the injections will run out’ but like. if she doesn’t sleep tonight we have GOT to take her back first thing in the morning so they can sedate her or something
