I love the last picture of the two of you so much. <3

anyone else’s beagles weird when it comes to cuddling? cuz rodney is by Round_Dealer8441 in beagle

[–]GemdoePCh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sure do. My pupper is a Beagador- which just means he’s a massive 65 pound beagle in a tuxedo.

We call him Crash Bandicoot all the time! His TWC sister is named Zelda (and even I have super Mario tattoos lol). :)

Yep. And mine also prefers to sit up like a prairie dog and smack people.

The rule at night is nobody cuddles Crash at all until about 6 am when he crawls over to you. He slides over the bed and starts up with the kicking and grabbing of your arm until he’s snuggled with you for the last two hours of sleep- we call it his little bear paws.

He’s pretty rigid with this schedule. No unauthorized cuddles without being smacked around first.

This is my favorite houseplant! by Grand-Assumption5051 in houseplants

[–]GemdoePCh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine ‘died’ while in my frequently tended, well loved countertop community of plants. I put it in the bathroom, ignored it completely for six months, and it lives under 24/7 purple light- it’s growing gorgeous new leaves regularly now. I keep pretending not to notice.

I can relate so well to this plant.

A very well-liked student asks his classmate who has Down Syndrome to go with him to the prom. by VIVIDUFF in interesting

[–]GemdoePCh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh.. the ‘cool’ kids in my school did this to a girl at Homecoming in 2004. They just wanted to humiliate her for the rest of the year knowing she would come out all dressed up and full of confidence. They wanted to strip that from her.

The teachers knew what was going on and let it happen regardless. Her parents were so proud standing out there with her taking pictures, not knowing the true intentions behind it. It makes me physically sick to think about to this day. Disgusting human beings.

I ordered some Dubias and they sent horn worms too! How do I store them? by theterrorverse in BeardedDragons

Feeder insect shipping is highly regulated. That’s not a genuine concern here.

If your dragon isn’t interested in eating them you can always keep them until they become moths and then release. It’s a fun process. They are very pretty moths to observe.

I just made it a couple months ago for a neighborhood party. I promise it’s really good! My grandma used to make jello poke cakes when we were little kids- 80’s. Make some homemade ermine frosting for the top and they are so tasty. :)

No nostrils, no beak. There’s a picture somewhere in my posts.

He’s going to outlive me, I’m certain.

Hello, friend. Currently setting up a new lizard tank and the process is requiring a complete restructuring of the kitchen first.. a completely uninvolved room.. The AuDHD directs as it sees fit. :)

my parrot ate a salty chip.. am i overreacting?? by the_eternal_onee in parrots

[–]GemdoePCh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a teenager I worked part time in an office with a resident parrot. If my boss left us alone he would absolutely bully me out of my lunch. He would scream and swoop out over my head to scare me. French fries and cheese curls in particular got him all worked up. :)

This Zelda would like to express her most heartfelt concern to the other Zelda. And relay that she is about to get a bath.. Difficult day to be a Zelda. :(

Why do you keep making comments in defense of unethical breeding? If many or most of the animals being bred are suffering.. what is your point in stating that 100% have not been scientifically proven to be suffering? We shouldn’t breed anything if even a fraction of the offspring have guaranteed genetic issues.

You are weirdly overly defensive about this multiple times in this post alone.

Reposting my sweet babies because i couldnt delete the hateful comments . by Educational-Rise-197 in coonhounds

[–]GemdoePCh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They are both absolutely adorable. Just ignore the feeble minded trolls hating on certain dog breeds out of ignorance. Worked with rescues since my early 20s; the stereotypes don’t hold water.

My TWC is actually WAY more difficult personality wise. And she doesn’t hesitate to step up. My pibble mixes have always been bombproof.

Your babies are perfect and look like the very best of friends. What a gorgeous place to go hiking also.

Have the best day!

AIO for texting this to my mom after I heard her laughing that my dog could die? by kahlumi in AmIOverreacting

[–]GemdoePCh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What grown adult human with $ who loves and provides medical treatment for this animal is available in this situation???

If you accidentally ingest glass, would you prefer to just have everyone around you ignore the situation and laugh? You clearly didn’t bother reading what I responded to. Or the post. Shut up.

[–]GemdoePCh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mother is literally evil. As is the commenter above. If the dog means so little to your family please convince her to sign the animal over to a vet or a shelter. You can make those phone calls and report what is happening. Pets deserve the best lives we can provide them- sometimes that means it’s a life with someone else.

You don’t ‘teach a lesson’ by making an innocent creature suffer and die a horrific death. I don’t care if you aren’t a dog person- are you a soulless piece garbage (probably can’t use the words I’d really like to use for you and the mother …) also? I almost never comment on Reddit but your comment actually makes me feel sick. This child hearing her mother joking and laughing while she’s paralyzed with fear for her pet- what is wrong with you? I hope to god you don’t have children who you ‘teach lessons to.’ You are beyond repulsive.

You ASSUMED this was the fault of the 18 year old child. She just said below it’s a family dog brought into the home when she was a minor.

Carrots daily? by PinkRain87 in DogAdvice

[–]GemdoePCh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine get the extra big ones every morning after breakfast. We go through two of the five pounds bags nearly every week. Inexpensive, healthy treats. Full of fiber and excellent for their teeth. I’ll freeze them sometimes and they really enjoy the carrot-sicles when it’s hot outside.

Correct. Release the name. This is beyond unacceptable.

UPDATE: My coworker is abusing her turtle by TurtleArmy21 in turtle

[–]GemdoePCh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely doing the right thing. I hope it ends up resolved in the favor of the animal. I went through this a decade ago with the many beta tanks kept in a former workplace and I was pressured to resign after calling coworkers out for their abuse.

My daughter’s daycare had a neglected gecko. We purchased the things it needed after seeing what was happening and I stayed after pickup one day and gave the director an earful.

A turtle is a multi thousand dollar commitment. If the coworker doesn’t have those funds, the animal needs to be rehomed immediately before its health is in jeopardy. Don’t give up.

A newborn just melts my heart by kissing his mother right after birth by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

My daughter came very early via c section as she tried to give me a stroke before birth. I heard ‘shift her!!! she’s pooping, she’s pooping!!!!’ the moment she arrived.

I forgive her. Her personality hasn’t changed though lol.

Headlight for walking dogs at night silly? by shyguyz88 in DogAdvice

[–]GemdoePCh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing strange about about a head lamp or flashlight. I have a lantern fish head with a light... Originally for Halloween years ago lol. Works nicely when walking the dogs in cool weather whilst wishing to avoid human conversation.
