What has science done? Is this a real species? Are they breed with flashlight-helmets? What are your opinions on gophers, /an/?

Hey that's just painted on there to make it look like it's made like that!
Hi, first time posting, I have mutliple fish tanks, the one in question has been settled 3 years, however in past week I have lost multiple fish, all different species and sizes but mainly the older fish, they all seem to start swimming upside down asif their swim bladder has an issue, resting upside down, with the ability to still swim yet they just lue there upside down. They die about 2 days after they start swimming upside down. my feed, water changes are same for all tanks...one fish has literally just died in the time I wrote this, any ideas? Pic related

I need some advice on cats right now, well I'm not a big fans of cats myself, but I started to like those little fuckers thanks to my gf, we even adopted a 3 months kitty. Anyways:
>My gf had a cat before we got our little kitty, her name is Mandy, she is 1 and a half years old and she isn't very sociable, she sleeps something like 3 nights per week outside and all the other days with me and my gf inside, well on Thursday 31th we went out and slept outside, so Mandy had to sleep outside for 2 days (first time she spent so many time without...

Cats should allways be kept indoors at night and when you aren't around, unless you have a catflap that lets them come and go as they please. Chances are a neighbour with more time to look after her has been feeding her and letting her in, she probably just thought "fuck it" since you don't seem to really bother with her and is living with them. Cats aren't stupid, they know a better deal when they see one. Try putting up missing cat posters, ask around the neighbourhood and check local...

Two bugs like this one have been flying around my room. They are named Gustapo and Hernandez. The one you see here is Hernandez. He is finished, and soon to be burned next to his brother as soon as I capture him. My question is, the fuck are these?
Gustapo lives another day.

God bless you anon, when Gustapo is defeated and burned I'll be sure to post pics.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a bug to catch.
So this might just be venting but me and my bf broke up and I'm crashing at the parents with my almost dead grandma while finding roomates. She's like 95.
I'm taking care of an old poodle for like $200 and it's been cowering if someone comes near it.
My grandma ALWAYS hated animals. Like she goes out of her way to hit them with a cane. I just want to scream at her and slap her. Even when she was young she just saw animals as annoying garbage. She also has been a huge cunt in general her whole life to people as well.
My mom...

Tell your grandma to fuck off when she does? How would she come in a situation involving hitting your dog anyway?

Catch your Cat, and take a Hawk bell, or the like: then tie a thred to the bell; and about half an inch from the bell, tie a knot: then binde it fast to the end of her tail, and let her loose; whereby you shall see pretty sport.
Also you may take Walnut-shells, when the kernels are out, and put therein a lit∣tle rum of Pitch, and warm them against the fire: then shooe her on all her four feet: Then put her into a dark room, and she will never rest quiet, but keep her self so trampling, that the noise thereof, to those that onely hear, not knowing what you have done, will seem strange, and indeed dellectable.

How to make a Cat to piss out the fire.
Take a Cat and, with a glove on your hand, hold all her four feet together: then hold her head fast between your leggs: when you have so done, go to the fire, and hold up her tail, and you shall see her spout forth presently.

How a Wager may be laid, that a Cat shall draw a simple fellow over a Pond, Moat, etc.
Take a long Rope, and tie it about the fellows middle very fast: then get the other end of the Rope on the other side of the Pond: when you have so done, tie the Cat with a small Packthred to the Rope. Now you must imagine, that the Rope must reach a good way from the Cat, and put it thorow some bushes or weeds, behinde which you must have two or three Confederates, (so that the fellow see them not.) Then, when all is ready, one must whip or beat the Cat, and then your Consorts must...

Okay, that one is funny.
Dog got a hotspot out of nowhere and he's never had one before.
I put an e-collar on him to keep him from irritating it more until we got to the vet (tomorrow morning was the earliest they could get us in), but he showed me while I was on the phone with said vet that he can easily maneuver around it.
Wondering 1) what caused the hotspot and 2) what I can do to keep him from fucking with it more until tomorrow.
Unfortunately I'm pretty ill right now and I don't have the strength to take him out on a walk to tire him out and keep him from licking....

I think I've narrowed it down to a food allergy or stress. At the beginning of December I switched him from Science Diet to Taste of the Wild puppy food with salmon as its main protein. He's had salmon treats before. It was a rocky start even though we did a gradual switch, but by now his poop is normal and he looks and acts great. However, I know that dogs (especially goldens) can easily develop allergies to proteins they've already been exposed to no matter how long they've been eating it.

Currently I'm distracting him with a huge rawhide chew, but I don't like him having rawhide so I'm forcing him to take frequent breaks throughout the day.

No its about a dog Emma that was adopted from Special Needs Animal Rescue and Rehab (SNARR) and was born with severe paralysis in her back legs. Emma has had several wheelchairs. Unfortunately, she refuses to use any of them. We have had custom ones made even she’s always been this way. Emma has no idea she’s ‘special.
But the inability to use her hind legs has never slowed Emma down — especially when it comes to showing some love for her dad.
How do I go about owning a Hemingway cat? Like, an actual descendant of a Hemingway cat, not just a regular polydactyl.

Go to the Florida keys.
>Like, an actual descendant of a Hemingway cat
Adopt a polydactyl from the same region. They just run around on the museum grounds, so chances are their genes have spread pretty far.

My aloe veras have got PIC related dark pathes.
They are hard and the leafs feel soft and seem much less perkier than when I bought them.

Abtw it has Way Way more patches than this.
to narrow down diagnosis, without seeing the plant itself, we need all the info you can give.
light exposure, watering schedule, relocation, etc etc anything relevant.
>>2027454
but on a different note, the most common mistake for succulent care is over/under watering.
Overwatering can lead to rot (kinda resembles your plant). Underwatering the plant will wrinkle the plant, or whither in a more obvious way.
Anybody who knows the gender of this baby guinea pig?
looks more male to me but im no expert

Don't project your binary gender social construct on the guinea pig let it choose its own genders.

How do I know if my dog in far sighted, or just not particularly smart?
I adopted a new dog. I've seen him watch and track squirrels from afar.
When I give him something up close even as large as a dog bowl or a bone, say if he sees it in my hand and I place it behind him, he'll lose track of it, search my hands and start smelling his way to it. He loses track of it and it genuinely takes him awhile to figure out where it is.
I'm okay with him being a lovable dum-dum. He seems to know what glass doors are, but he acts as if he's skeptical...

Give your dum dum some time. I thought the shepherd mix bf adopted was retarded, but after 10 months of having him he's finally letting loose catching on to chasing squirrels and geese (partially my fault since I run after them just to see them fly). He hated stairs when we lived in our last apt, our new apt has none and he fucking loves it. Take him for hikes and see how he does there. I'm pretty sure your vet can do an eye exam if you're actually...

I used to like them until I saw them at that angle. They look like they have a giant splinter or something.
