Bragging about walking a BORDER COLLIE for one hour a day is like bragging about giving your dog only MILDLY poisonous treats. Like that's nOT EVEN THE BARE MINIMUM YOU'RE NOT DOING *ANYTHING* 😭😭
Instagram reel of a border collie on a walk with text on the screen that says, "you walk her for an hour a day? You must get so many steps in!" The owner posted this to show that most of their hours long walk is the dog stopping to sniff. An hour of a sniff walk is absolutely NOTHING to a border collie

There's a guy on YouTube with over 100k subscribers and millions of views on his videos that straight up abuses rabbits. And people SUPPORT him and call him a rabbit expert.

I see comments under his videos saying "I'm getting a rabbit soon thanks to you, I'm learning so much!" and it makes me ILL.

If you have a problem with my siblings you have a problem with me btw 👍 Don't pretend everything is good between us if you're spreading bullshit misinformation and slander about them behind my back!

If you are truly incapable of talking to people about something they did wrong YOU'RE the issue 👍

Halloween costume ideas for birders.
A comic called halloween costume ideas for birders. In panel 1, labeled easy, there's a person labeled northern cardinal wearing a party hat, a beak, and red clothes, and a person labeled roseate spoonbill wearing pink clothes and a wooden spoon on their nose. In panel 2, labeled harder, there's a person labeled merlin sound ID wearing a big green circle with a microphone modeled after the button on the merlin sound ID app, and a person labeled hybrid green x blue jay wearing a complex costume with a mask and robe and hat modeled after a recently discovered hybrid bird. In panel 3, labeled challenging, there's a person labeled baltimore oriole nest wearing an enormous accurate woven oriole nest suspended from their arms and shoulders, and a person labeled african jacana carrying chicks with a hideous costume of long-toed bird feet hanging from their armpits. In panel 4, labeled hot, there's a person labeled high quality spotting scope who is shirtless and is wearing a spotting scope mask on their head, and a person labeled sexy owl pellet wearing an owl pellet top and bottom with a mouse skull on their head.

Do y'all think this looks okay so far ?? I've never done detailed embroidery like this and I'm rushing to get this done for a coworker's wife and I hate it and it looks wonky to me and AHHHHH
West Highland Terrier embroidery worm in progress. Only one side of the face is fully embroidered, and the entire chin and neck area still needs to be embroidered too.

Loosing my mind at images like this LOL
"Australian Cattle Dog Vs Blue Heeler". The image is of two dogs, both are Australian Cattle dogs, and both are also blue heelers. Because blue heelers ARE cattle dogs. "Australian Cattle Dog Vs Blue Heeler". The image is of two dogs, both are Australian Cattle dogs, which is the same thing as a heeler. I believe this image I particular is implying that they're different breeds because the colour of the two dogs is different. "Australian Cattle Dog Vs Blue Heeler". The image is of two dogs, both are Australian Cattle dogs. One is a blue heeler and the other is a red heeler, because heelers are cattle dogs.

Got results of more blood tests back and I still have pretty bad thrombocytosis after 2 months so doctor thinks it's definitely immune system related and related to my other symptoms. Have to go back to doctor to do MORE tests to try and find out why but there's a good chance I never will.

Dumb question but does anyone know what *type* of faux fur was used for these older plushies? Like is there a certain term I should use to find fabric like this?? Because newer faux furs just aren't the same texture at all and idk what to look up to find this type !!!

I actually need help calming down I'm so not okay rn I fucking hate this new wave of people who think they're better than DECADES of rigorous research to ensure the best for dogs. They're fucking reversing it at such a rapid pace is scares the fuck out of me.

Oh my god I'm getting ENRAGED watching dumbasses in actual time recommend holistic vets over 'traditional' vets and saying "dont poison your dog with kibble and vaccines and chemical treatments!! I know better because my holistic vet who spoon feeds her dogs tumeric and CBD oil said different!!"
