This was Smore, Marshmallow, Cookie, and Hershey at around 9 weeks old.

I've decided that if I end up with any more like Smore I'll keep them for breeding.

Gods Entire Redemption Plan Runs Through Blood. Satan Has Been Counterfe...

I think it's so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn't have a job to do constantly

[halomancer]

On one hand this is extremely fucking funny, but on the other hand, it really boggles my mind how many people punish their dogs for just… doing the thing they were bred to do.

Your husky isn’t “hyperactive”, it’s bred to pull sleds for 8 hours straight and you have it in a 400 sq ft yard.

Your English sheepdog isn’t “pushy”, it’s bred to herd sheep, and you have neither to space nor the herd to allow it.

Your terrier isn’t “nippy”, it’s bred to kill rats and your hamster looks a hell of a lot like one.

Your Catahoula isn’t “mean to animals”, it’s bred to hunt any and all animals smaller than it, and you didn’t acclimate it to your cat.

Your Lhasa Apso isn’t “yappy”, it’s bred to bark at any tiny noise and alert watchmen to intruders

Like Jesus Christ, if you can’t provide an environment where your dog can’t fulfill its literal life purpose, maybe?? Don’t get that dog??? And if you do, maybe know the breed characteristics so you can redirect those traits into more constructive outlets????

Both your most common doodle's parts (labra and golden) want to hunt and retrieve water birds so the best suggestion I can give y'all is congratulations on your new duck hunting hobby.

Any time someone sees Herschel and says "AWWW I want a Corgi <3" (because he is Very Cute (TM)), I immediately reply: "Do not get a Corgi unless you have a job for it to do. They were bred to bully livestock across the hills of Wales. This is basically a Border Collie that knows he is cute enough to get away with murder. If you get one and it doesn't have a job, it will apply its livestock-bullying instincts to YOU. Herschel's job specifically is to help manage my crippling ADHD, because I don't have a bull for him to micromanage." This gets me odd looks at the home depot but it does get the point across.

This is my current pup, Commet. I believe she's 3 now if I'm remembering correctly. She's a Dalmatian x Jack Russell that we got from the pound as an 8+ month old puppy. She was 40, something pounds last weight check. And definitely an athletic little dog, too. She's super fast. My old dog was too for her stature.

My old dog was a basset mix of some sort (Princess), and we got her from our old neighbors at around the same age. She stayed outside most of her life. Short legs and long body like a basset but not as short or long and no baggy skin or extra long ears. Still not sure what she was mixed with.🤷‍♀️

Commet is very much a couch potato now, but she bolts up at the sound of anyone who she deems an intruder and starts barking. She's got a high pitch, too, so it's not the best thing to be jolted awake to if you're asleep on the couch.🤣

She absolutely LIVES for going out at night to lock up the animals (that's when the rats come out). Unfortunately, they're always up in the rafters of the old barn, so she hardly ever gets to catch any unless they're in one of the other coops, and she can flush them out. She goes after opossums and raccoons too (never catches the coons though).

She also somewhat helps keep the pair of goats I have in check. Oreo is a butthole and causes the most trouble, so he gets nips on the heels the most.🤣

KITT made a cameo in the movie The Creeps!

William Daniels even reprised his role as our favorite talking car

(It was VERY hard to find the movie online, so you all should thank me!)

I grew up watching the old reruns of Knight Rider since we didn't have cable (still don't). I SO want them to do a new movie!

Satan Is Not Your Enemy on a Battlefield — He Is Your Prosecutor in God'...

Your debt is paid!

[dragodragonborn]

I'm surrounded. 😆

Doesn't always happen with all the indoor pets like this. Especially not Sadie.

Sadie is at my head, Jinx at my feet, and Commet and Miss Kitty are on the back of the couch. Sadie and Miss Kitty are mortal enemies, so it's rare for them to be this close.😅

[kedreeva]

Wait wait wait. To tell apart the different lines of the chicks (I assume), you put the eggs in little mesh baggies?! Like for fruit???!!!! Please please please post a picture of the bags of freshly picked quail chicks, that is a very funny mental image and I’d like to see it for real

Freshly peeled quails

(also, again, they are way more comfy and relaxed in the bags than out of them. They just snooze quietly until they are gently poured forth into a tagging bin for me to band and put in the brooder)

[dragodragonborn]

Honestly smart! I'm starting to breed my own chickens, and I've only got one incubator atm. This is a great way to keep them separate! I'll have to try something similar with mine.

Also, they look super comfy in those bags.😆🥰

Breed of the day!

Indio Gigante

The Indian Giant, or Índio Gigante, is a Brazilian breed of chicken known as the world's tallest, with roosters often exceeding 3 feet in height due to their exceptionally long legs and necks. Developed from large game fowl like the Shamo and Malay, they are dual-purpose birds prized for their impressive size, docile temperament, and ability to forage, laying 160-250 large, beige eggs annually. Despite their imposing stature, they are surprisingly gentle, making them popular ornamental and meat birds, though they thrive best in warm climates.

Key Characteristics

Origin: Brazil

Size: Roosters can reach over 3 feet tall (measured beak-to-toe when stretched out) and weigh 10-15+ lbs; hens are smaller but still large.

Appearance: Lean, hard-feathered, with long legs and necks; come in many colors and patterns.

Temperament: Docile, calm, and friendly, often described as "gentle giants".

Egg Production: 160–200 large, light brown eggs per year.

Climate: Best in warm, sunny, dry climates, though they can adapt to cooler areas with shelter.

Uses

Ornamental: Their unique height and appearance make them a showstopper.

Meat Production: They are excellent meat birds.

Dual-Purpose: A good choice for homesteads due to their size and egg-laying ability.

Breed of the day!

Thuringian dwarf Barthuhner

The Thuringian Dwarf Barthuhner (Thüringer Barthuhn-Zwerg) is a rare, hardy German bantam breed (standardized 1907) recognized for its distinctive, thick beard and ear muffs. Known as "chubby cheeks," they are active, confident foragers that excel in cold, snowy climates due to small combs. Gold-blue mottled is a rare, striking plumage variation.

Weight/Size: Small breed; cocks weigh 700g-1.5lb and hens weigh 600g-1.3lb

Eggs: Productive layers of white eggs.

Temperament: Active, confident, and generally friendly, though dwarf cocks can be protective.

Appearance: Feature a rose comb, with substantial feathers covering the throat and ears, and a close-fitting, often mottled plumage.

These birds are well-suited for free-ranging, as they are confident and excellent at finding their own food.

Absolutely gorgeous little birds that I just found out exist!

MY FRIEND IS FINDING OUT THAT HES COLORBLIND AND WE’RE ALL HELPING HIM THROUGH IT LMAOOOOOO

[yurimom]

[yurimom]

UPDATE WE HAVE TWO COLORBLIND BITCHEZ IN THE SERVER

[yurimom]

what the fuck is going on

[alwaysabeautifullife]

On the last one Deuteranomaly and Protanomaly are identical though

[azzandra]

What I’m getting from this is that there are a lot more colorblind people in the world than even colorblind people know.

[sheepolypse]

Share to save [shame] a friend

[waywardmorgann-deactivated20240]

WAIT! DEUTERANOMALY AND PROTANOMALY IS THE SAME! IT’S THE FUCKING SAME! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?????

[audliminal]

The deuteranomaly and protanomaly ones are very similar but they are different. The purple section ranges out a little farther to the right in the protanomaly one. Not seeing the difference between might not indicate color blindness but rather difficulty with color differentiation.

[sanctuaryforalluniverses]

The green is also slightly more vivid in the protanomaly strip than it is in the deuteranomaly one.

[ninahufflepuff]

@skeletal-spire-man-aka-overfit

um

these are not the same

[skeletal-spire-man]

They’re… They’re identical…

What’s… What’s the difference-?

[i-put-the-hyper-in-hyperfixated]

welp. one of the moots has tritanomaly colour blindness!

[officially-bbc-news]

I’m not colourblind, but like, on the last one, deuteranomaly and protanomaly are identical to eachother- so are protanopia and deuteranopia-

[naviofortido]

They aren’t different?

[sofakingcurious]

I feel like I should add this

https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd/?r=AOkgKP__79w8

[lilbit-of-kizzy]

I got a good grade at color definition, something that is both reasonable and attainable to do

[greater-than-the-sword]

I got 0.0062

[ioannemos]

[dragodragonborn]

Protanomaly is slightly more vibrant in the green hues than deuteranomaly. Also there's less? In the blue hues than deuteranomaly?

No, there's more in the purple hues than in deuteranomaly. Less of the coppery reds seemingly.

My boy, Bruce, is sooo handsome!😍🥰

Just cleaned his cage yesterday, but he's already made a bit of a mess.🙄

Put a stick in, and I'll be lifting it a bit higher tonight. Wanted to get him used to it being there first. Hopefully, he'll take to it and start perching.
