>apartment has mouse in it
>it's cute as fuck but obviously I can't let it stay
>don't want to kill it though
Are there any solutions to get it out without hurting it?
>>2112020
Buy a live trap. Use grains, not cheese for bait.
and when you catch it, free it far away from your house, like a couple miles. If you release it too close, it'll come back inside
You need a live catch trap, you can even find tutorials online on how to construct several types from common household items, this not the important part.
You need to construct a nightmare chamber.
A chamber that gives an experience, tailored specificaly to mouse perception, so terrifying, that the mouse will never ever return to your house.
I fucked up. I really needed the money
I bit off way more than I could chew. I was supposed to sit a very LARGE dog and got stuck with a second large dog at the last second. I was assured the second one was much older. He's not. They're both 80 pounds, and I'm 110 pounds. I asked about using a gentle leader and the owner told me he's tried that and the dogs freak out and get aggressive. I've managed to walk each of them separately and am going through my deli chicken on walks so they don't bolt when they see a deer.
One dog also growls...

What kind of dogs?
My gut feeling is they sense your intimidation.
>>2111967
I just can't keep up. Together they're too strong and energetic.
I know the boxer dog growls in a "friendly growl" when I'm petting him but I really don't like that he isn't neutered.
One is a HUGE boxer and one is a mix. Looks like a hound.
I can handle the older one by myself, he'd be fine if I was only watching him but yeah...the really hyper un neutered boxer isn't cool at all..
>>2111970
I'll admit I gave the boxer the same dose of benadryl I take to go to sleep at night in some bread and it literally made zero difference.
To you kill these guys or leave them alone?
>>2111950
I put them outside so it all depends on the time of year.
>>2111950
Leave them alone. They're good little housemates since their diet consists of ants, termites, and other pests. In fact, the more you see, they can be a good indication of an infested house.
>>2111950
These guys used to be in a warehouse I had to work in constantly. They were everywhere! Can anyone give me a name perhaps so I may learn more?
What is the best way to play with your cat? Sometimes at night my cat tries to hunt me so I'll fake jump at him and then he'll run and hide, then I'll run and he'll chase me. Is this stimulating enough for him or does he actually think I'm trying to scare him?
Probably the latter.
I don't bother with cats at night. Mine went completely fucking skitzo in the dark.
If possible, just let them go out and hunt for real.
I remember when I was trying to sleep they would crawl under my bed sheets and attack my feet and legs with full claws. Had to lock them out my bedroom.
toy Mouse on a string would be my answer though.

>If possible, just let them go out and hunt for real.
No. Shush.
>>2112015
why not, exactly? my cat loves to go outside. fucker catches birds right out of the air when they fly low enough. she's enjoying it.
Sister:
>Hey anon, I have a spare duck, you want one?
she wants to give you the d
Fucking train that shit
>>2111915
My friend's mom had a duck. The duck laid eggs, some hatched, she raised three sons, then the sons serial raped her until they'd bitten all the feathers off her back.
Ducks: not even once.
That feel when dog steps on your balls.

That feel when cat steps on your nipple

Your bait is bad and you should feel bad
Why are podenco's such stunning dogs, and why are they so over looked and mistreated. Why dose Spain do nothing about the thousands of dogs abandoned and killed at the end of the hunting season every year, and why would no one want such a wonderful dog as a pet. I would love to rescue one some day, but I'm nowhare near being able to support a dog at the moment. Discuss, post pics of pods and galgos.
Pod and galgo info

i had one.
most wonderful dog I ever knew.
incredibly kind, affectionate and even protective. also awesome watchdog.
she was smooth like a cat indoor but I admit she was quite a handful outdoor. she had a massive hateboner for cats and I don't want to know what would have happened to all those cats if she wasn't on a leash. she barked the living piss out of those feline faggots.
I really fucking miss her.. a dog's life is way too fucking short, fucking hell.
The skull and neck are cool, but then things get weird
Mr. Fantastic/10, would not own
>>2111828
What sort of level of doggy experience do you need to own one, are they suitable for a first time owner, or would it be better to have owned some sort of sighthound beforehand? Also what sort of requirements do they need? They seem like such sweet and sensitive animals, and it breaks my heart to see how they're treated with such disregard. I'd absolutely adore the chance to rescue one, though my second choice would probably be a retired greyhound.
Hey /an/, first time making a thread here but i though this would be the place for this subject.
I had to put down my borderterrier Frippe today, and i feel so sad. He was 13 years old and he was really sick.
He was one of my best friends, he even protected me from serious harm more than once. I will miss him so much. At least you are not hurting anymore buddy. I will never forget you.
So i was wondering if we can have a thread for all of the pets we miss and had to say goodbye too. Share your memories of your pets that you miss.
Boss hat doggo.....I'm sorry you lost your friend, Anon....for me it was a mean Siamese cat named Bastet.
Cry if you need to, and don't feel bad about grieving
>>2111730
Bastet is a really nice name for a cat, what happen to it?
Yeah i am really crying now, he died at 14.00 today did not hit me until now.
>>2111743 She got liver and kidney cancer.....she was 16 and my baby girl....but there was nothing I could do except make sure she didn't suffer
So I need some information
A farmer just shot my dog dead, But somehow managed to get my contact information from a microchip in my dog, I know this as when he handed me my dog, he said "Fair play, you had him microchipped" how could he have known that without reading the chip himself or having a vet give him our confidential information
Now in Ireland where I live, the law is that all information on that chip is private and only for the eyes of professionals (Vets Microchippers) How could he of gotten that information?
For a addition I'd like to share...

I want to put a potted plant on my patio, so I have somewhere I can empty my dog's water bowl every day and not get dog hair in my sink. I would prefer to have a plant that has some sort of use.
It could be any use. Tea, fruit/veg, medicinal etc. It can be any type of plant that can live in a pot. The pot can be up to 2-3 feet in diameter, so it doesn't have to be small. It can't be a tree that will grow more than 8 feet. Must be non-toxic to dogs and cats. I live in California, if that helps you consider what will grow well here. I will water it more...

>I live in California
California has a crazy USDA zone map compared to many other states.
http://www.plantmaps.com/interactive-california-usda-plant-zone-hardiness-map.php
Whereabouts? or you could just find your zone in the link and let us know?
Without knowing your exact weather my thoughts would go immediately toward herbs or a succulent (i.e. aloe)

South Bay Area
Besides tomatoes, are there any fruits and vegetables that would do well in the specified conditions?

Bitch please. My dag is the cutest.
How can I teach my dog to locate weapons and ammunition?
The forest here in Sweden are full out guns, AK-5, submachine gun and much more but I can not find where it is buried.
Can my dog to help me?
Scent train him to gunpowder?
A metal detector will be easier, cheaper, and more effective
>>2111523
How exactly would it be cheaper?
what is this?
>>2111468
you mean that tick?
Oh so it's a tick? Didn't know what it was
And what type is it?
Good day everyone! So I am a fish enthusiast. I love aquariums and everything about them. So I'll give you a little back story here.
My first job ever was at petco. Didn't know anything about animals honestly. After a year, they moved me to manager and also aquatic specialist. While taking on these duties, I always noticed people complaining about how the betta Fish are kept until sale. Now that I'm more aware of fish, I wonder to myself, "they come from crappy dirty ponds, do they really care that much about being in a cup?".
That's...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
It is inhumane. They might come from crappy, dirty ponds, but those ponds are cycled with plants and shit. A cup of water, is well, a cup of water. Eventually, a betta will slowly die and suffer a cup of water that won't ever be clean until he dies. It's just full of shit. He's breathing his shit, swallowing it, swimming in it. It's disgusting. Bettas are resilient, but they need proper care just like any other animal.
This is how they're shipped and they come all thrown into a box and crammed up.
>>2111425
I totally agree with you. He is literally his own filtration system being confined to that cup.

Also how come I never see dogs at riots? Not that I've been to one. They bring horses all the time and they're intimidating but I would think dogs would be more intimidating. Everyone seems to give the fuck up whenever a police dog is involved.
Is it because they would pretty much attack anyone?
A dog grabbing onto one person and mauling the shit out of them is awful crowd control and would probably just turn everything into a bigger shitstorm.
>>2111410
Not to mention people would attack the dog. As useful they are for war, I'd hate for them to just end up getting tored to pieces by subhuman scum.
>>2111408
Police are alwaysbringing dogs to riots where do you live?
