This is a blog dedicated to my doggo Max (tags are #Max #mydog and #mydogs), the 6 (and a half) year old Labrador rescue, and everything else dog related. Other residents that you may encounter include but are not limited to; the cats: Sparta, Pizza and Hera; and the turtles: Ninja, Biter and Corny. I also might post a lot about horses so if you don't wanna see that just blacklist #horses. Until recently I used to own a hunting-bred Brittany and you can find her under the tag #Richie

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

Extremely belated postscript that should have been here far earlier:

“i am a monument to all your sins” is such a fucking raw line for a villain it’s amazing that it came from halo, a modernish video game, and not some classical text or mythos

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

classic texts have nothing on the crazy people come up with in modern times tbh

this is a beautiful way to put it and i’m gonna cry abt it

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

https://www.change.org/p/european-parliament-stop-the-censorship-machinery-save-the-internet?recruiter=50668942&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

It’s funny how y'all will reblog any and all US things but when whole Europe might lose access to internet then everything is quiet.

[mmmmmmmilo]

Are you fucking serious? Is this really happening? I’m European and I didn’t know a single thing about this

Do you have any dog training YouTube channels you like? I'm trying to get back into training with my dog and could use some good channels to watch.

These are the youtube channels I like :D

Stonnie Dennis - a dog trainer on youtube, covers a wide range of topics in short bursts 

Tyler Muto - confidence building in dogs, heeling, creative use of space

kikopup - lots of clicker training ideas, training calmness and shaping

Tab - another person who can give a wide range of clicker training and teaching new behaviours

Jeff Gellman - confidence building, fearful and aggressive dogs

@shotinthekidney​ has a youtube channel I actively stalk, I have loved the training snippets Martin shared and equally love Laura’s.

I actually have an account with Leerburg, but they post good snippets and freebies to youtube too. 

Ohio Teen Dog - I don’t remember subscribing to this one, but they have good videos of teaching basic positions!

Janet Finley - she has very useful books too, geared towards building calm and confident dogs. Lots of videos on leash handling, how YOU affect the dog etc

Ripley’s Adventures - this one is more about enrichment and DIY dog puzzles

Pams Dog Acadamy - this is more about body awareness, but you need that for building healthy bodies and minds!

APDA - this is a series of videos on how to weightpull with your dog SAFELY e.g fitting harnesses, how the dog should be taught to pull to reduce strain (head down!)

Counter condition videos - not updated in awhile but good collection of CC approaches

Kristy Crestejo - covers lots of aspects of training from loose leads to impulse control to how I found her - how to teach two dogs to run circles around you in opposite directions to each other :D Goals!

Alpha Dog Training - yes, I was quite put off by the company name too lmao. Has some good videos on training whistle recalls in a positive manner

K9Pro - primarily their blog posts and videos dealing with aggressive or fearful dogs and also their youtube videos.
