How would a dog wear pants? I need to know.
Pic related
First pic of course.
Look at the second pic. That doesn't even looks like pants jesus christ.
>>2025714
The first pic is absolutely full fucking retard.
Those "pants" are covering their dog nipples. Now, maybe you're a fucking nerd, but I certainly don't wear my pants up around my nipples.
>>2025715
Pants should cover all the legs though, dogs don't have arms
I'm such a fucking idiot, /an/.
While going away for vacation I arranged so that my pet bunnies would be taken care of by a local veterinarian.
I got back yesterday and was informed that one of them was dead. The vet gave me a letter explaining how he had far progressed tooth problems and had been suffering for a long time.
The worst part is that I had noticed him getting thinner and more apathetic but even then not thinking about having him checked out.
Now I'm just sitting here crying and I don't know what to do. The climate is very cold and dark,...

What the fuck how was it eating? I would hve thought a rabbit would have starved long before that point
>>2032570
The picture is just from google, in my case it seemed eating was more painful than impossible.

So you left your bunnies outside, despite every owner of a house rabbit stating that they are easily made indoor animals and even enjoy indoor life because they are perfectly safe in a home? And instead of getting a check up on the weakened one, or even bothering to learn to do basic groom and checks on them, you just said fuck it and left for vacation?
Nah, you're an idiot and the other one is probably going to die in less than a year.

An 8-week-old kitten, who was rescued after being dyed purple and used as a chew toy for a larger animal, is recovering after he had emergency surgery in California during the weekend.

How does pitbulls lock their jaws?
Any other animals that do the same? Can't find much info about it
They don't. It's a myth. No dogs have special "locking jaws."
They're just breed for tenacity and to hold their bite.
>>2031988
Correction. They were bred for their athletic abilties. That's why they use to be used during wars.

because this is an old wives tale
Hey guys, how goes your ant keeping?
Have you started hibernating your ants yet? If not you're a shitlord.
How was your season? For those with tropical ants, how is it going so far?
Here is my Camponotus Pennsylvanicus colony I have had since the spring. Caught the queen in my back yard. This picture is from a while ago, and I have more.
So far she is up to 50-60 workers, and about 30 larvae in diapause. Just put them in the basement this weekend. Will probably take them out towards the end of February.

This is the nest they are curretly in, bought this in July I think.
Moar! Pics of whole setup, burrowing media, feeding, hibernation and lack of same, and comparison with Uncle Milton.
>>2014623
This is the outworld I purchased with the nest, i think it's 4x4x8 if i remember correctly. It's a neat little set up. All these pics are before August this year, haven't taken any new ones yet, unfortunately.
At first I would feed them honey and insects I found around the yard. Mostly grass spiders and daddy long legs(which they seemed to absolutely love). After I bought fruit flies which worked until they all died off. Then I purchased Repti-worms, which is annoying to cut in half. Will probably...

Noticed this weird thing on my dad's 5 year old golden retriever this morning. It's stiff like a scab but extends like 2 cm out of a scab near his ear. What the fuck is it?
We were out at our uncle's cabin last weekend that had a small farm on the grounds - horses, chickens & cows. Could it be some kind of parasite?
I've set an appointment for the vet on Saturday, was needing a shot anyway.
Congratulations, your dog has ticks.
>>2032854
You're right, thanks. I'll remove it.
So my mate who lives at mine with my mum got a pair of hamsters and one of our two dogs keeps whining behind his room door and barking. My mum and mate say "it's fine, she's excited there's new animals."
Well, I personally think the dog's instincts are setting in and she views them as a threat in our own home. She's a shih szu (not stereotypical of being dangerous) but keeps walking around with her tail down, whining at all of us. When she was in front of the hamster cage on the bed she followed the hamsters with her eyes and had an...

Prey drive.
Your dog considers the hamsters to be good sport / meal.
I once saw a little girl show her dog her new hamster. Before I could get to them in time, that hamster was sucked down the rotties throat faster than piece of ham.
Some dogs are okay with small animals. My Aussie cat tale dog thinks my guinea pugs are puppies or something and will corral them between his arms and just lick them and eat their little poops like they are living candy dispensers
My border collie absolutely loves my rats, she is very gentle and kind with them. The rats will groom her face and paws. It's so cute. Pic related.
Hamsters are a lot more fearful than rats though. I've had both as pets. Your hammy might bite your dog or have a heart attack from fright.

can dogs sniff out cancer? because everytime i come acros a dog on the streets he tries to sniff my balls, strangely enough one of my testiscles hurt and is bigger then the other one

I don't exactly trust this article but it's possible.

The other signs should be enough to make you think it might be wise to talk to a doctor.
>>2031215
In each other they can. Are you a dog?
Just go to the doctor.

Color doesn't matter for me.
The real question is short hair or long hair?
What breeds need winter jackets or clothing for walks in winter?
I have an American foxhound, I assumed he was an all weather outdoors dog sense hunters often house them completely outside.
It's below freezing here and I notice that his ears get extremely cold and he shake them as soon as he gets in and wants me to just rub them. Do dogs with long floppy ears need earmuffs or something?
get a dog snood
i have a min pin who gets very cold.. he has boots, snow suit, and snood
>>2032580
Depends. I have a small dog who has a winter jacket. When it snows I put on his boots too because everyone here uses salt on the sidewalks and plow trucks spray salt on the street. Without his booties his feet get really cold from the water from the salt melted snow and het gets small to large pieces of salt stuck to them too. He needs his booties and jacket.
Sorry I don't have any pics of them with their coats on.
I can't stand ferrets. After working in a pet store that had ferrets and also bearing witness to "ferret people" I only hate them all the more. Something about them just pisses me off. They're fucking annoying. Cute as very young babies because they have some semblance of chill but once they get a few more weeks old they're just obnoxious little shits. I remember I'd be cleaning out their disgusting litter box and they would leap onto the scooper, into their own fresh shit, trying to climb up my arm and bite me. They'd rip open the doggy bag...

Are ferrets good for... anything?
>>2032463
Hunting rabbits and other small animals. That's why they were domesticated. Though I think people use minks in the us now.
I really want to see a ferret in real life. It feels weird that I never have.
Stupid California.
You know what to do

where do dogs poop? cats poop in litter boxes, but what about dogs? my parents had a dog when i was a kid and it pooped outside in the lawn on the side of the house. but what about people with dogs without lawns, like apartment dwellers? can dogs be litter trained like cats? thank you for answering my questions.
>>2032080
Dogs can be litter trained, and no, you don't want to do that.
I live in an apartment, and my dog shits very much outside only, thank you very much. And if she's ever ill and really has to go inside, she'll feel worse than me about it.
>>2032083
>no, you don't want to do that.
how come
I just take my dog outside. Of course, because it's not your lawn you should pick it up immediately. Some people use litter boxes, but usually use paper litter instead of the sandy stuff. There is also potty pads and fake grass pads to put inside. I'm not really sure how you're supposed to clean the grass pads though.
