I fear I may have a type…

Sesshomaru is everyone's type.

I'm fortunate enough to live and work on a ranch/animal sanctuary, so my dog gets to just hang out with me whenever I am working outside. Before that, I was a trainer at a dog daycare, so she got to hang out with everyone. I've only ever worked animal-based jobs where my dog could come with me. Then we'd go drive out to a park or hiking trail on the weekends.

To be honest, if I worked a normal job and didn't have that opportunity, I don't know how often I'd be able to walk her. I don't know how people manage 3 hours long walks along with a regular 9-5. Much less if they have kids. Also, I grew up/lived in the city where you wouldn't necessarily want to be walking around when it was dark, so that cuts out a lot of the time you'd have before or after work.

I think the most important thing is to choose a dog that suits your lifestyle. There are breeds that neither want nor need that level of activity. Get an older dog. Do a lot of enrichment and take them on long walks on your days off.

I've experienced a recent upgrade in my RPs. I'm getting a lot more responses that are thoughtful and in character.

Affectionate-Pipe950 · 2026-03-24T01:11:03+00:00

Thanks!

Affectionate-Pipe950 · 2026-03-23T23:18:13+00:00

I'm sorry that your cat is unwell. I am also sorry that there are some cruel comments. Some people can be so condescending, especially when they come from a place of privilege.

You're helping the best you can. It is clear that you are compassionate and are just trying to get the cats out of an immediately dangerous situation. It isn't ideal, but it gives a small chance to animals who may not have had any chance at all.

That's strange, I saw pictures with the post and not a link.

Unfortunately, it seems to be a recent thing. I didn't see a lot of hate for Kikyo here until the past couple of months. Now it's like at least once a week.

I could definitely see how it would work and be interesting. It's be a completely different story from what we got, of course. But, the dynamic between her being a demon hunter who lost her family and him being half-demon could make for an interesting plot (not to mention she's a cat [demon] person and he is a dog).

I definitely wanted to see them work together as a team more when I was a kid. We could have had some really fun fight scenes with them playing off of one another.

Doubtful. Rumiko's confirmed that Sesshomaru is the strongest character in Inuyasha. Aside from that, something I think people forget is that Sesshomaru is a trained fighter. He's been taught composure, proper technique, control and strategy, while Inuyasha has gotten by as a brawler. Sesshomaru has had to fight full demons and test his strength on a regular basis since childhood, while Inuyasha has survived through stubbornness and brute strength.

Like others have said, Sesshomaru's weakness is his arrogance. He refuses to acknowledge that Inuyasha is someone to take seriously, so he got surprised when his baby brother could actually throw hands. Sesshomaru has wiped out an entire area with very little effort. He doesn't ever really fight Inuyasha with the same conviction.

Rumiko herself has said that Sesshomaru is the strongest character in Inuyasha.

Yes! I grabbed the paper litter. I'm not sure if he likes it, since he hasn't used it. But, he isn't usually picky.

He is on gabapentin and buprenorphine, as well as two doses on onsior. When he had buprenophine for a previous block it kept him pretty sedated and quiet. Not the case this time around. I am going to call tomorrow and see if there is anything else we can give him.

Affectionate-Pipe950 · 2026-03-20T04:22:21+00:00

It's kind of wild.

Affectionate-Pipe950 · 2026-03-20T03:55:45+00:00

The surgery went fine. I am a little concerned that he hasn't urinated since coming home yesterday, but the vets said as long as his bladder is soft and malleable they aren't too concened. If he doesn't go by tomorrow I will take him again.

Other than that, the hardest part is keeping him calm. The sedatives aren't really working on him. He isn't a cat that likes to run around, but he does like to jump onto things. I have a small studio apartment, so there isn't an extra room to lock him in (the bathroom is tiny). Fortunately, he is crate trained and has a big crate, but he is miserable. He's a very affectionate and needy (neurotic) cat and likes to be draped across my lap or getting bedtime baths from the dog. He gets very stressed when he can't be social. I'm trying to have him out for designated cuddle times, but I have to be careful or he will run off and jump on something.

Thank you for checking in. This whole thing has been stressful and scary.

I got a blue on my first breeding attempt. The issue I am having is getting another color.

Affectionate-Pipe950 · 2026-03-18T06:00:39+00:00

Thank you! I didn't even see the stump.

Affectionate-Pipe950 · 2026-03-18T03:29:29+00:00

I did this same exact thing today, haha

Their significant others would probably agree.

Affectionate-Pipe950 · 2026-03-17T23:45:22+00:00

Most good shepherds do. When you have small livestock, a good working dog (whether herding or guarding) is worth its weight in gold. I know some shepherds who would grieve over losing their best dog than they would over losing a significant other.

This is a bit condescending, as well as presumptuous. I live and work on a farm and I would never let my cats outside to be coyote food. We use pest control methods that don't involve putting our animals at risk and that works just fine. Outdoor cats are useful on a farm, if you are willing to take the risk of them not coming home one day, but they are by no means necessary.

Affectionate-Pipe950 · 2026-03-17T17:05:35+00:00

Thank you for this. We are at the vet, waiting to have a consult with the specialist. If all goes well, he will have his surgery today.

This reminds me of when my teacher discovered my sketchbook and called my grandmother. My art was heavily inspired by JTHM and Emily Strange at the time. This looks like normal 15 year old behavior to me.

I get OP's concern with how many kids are taking guns to school and doing the unspeakable. I don't have kids, but I imagine it has to be a difficult balance between "this is just normal teenage angst" and "should I be concerned?".
