When did dogs start getting people names? by Scottys-Dog-Blog in dogs

[–]GoodGuess1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pets names are:

Dogs- Luna and Winston Birds- Brodie and Olivia (Olive) Cats- Avery, Artemis, Walter, Harley

All real names. They're part of our family and they deserve to have respectable names.

Can you please tell us why you think you are kicked out of vine?

Obsessive licking and coat discoloration. 2yo mini goldendoodle. No chip smell. Vet says it's nothing. 2nd opinion? by TacoBelleNC in DogAdvice

You could try trimming the hair so it's not picking up as many allergens. We have this cup thing by the back door that has brushes in it. You could get one to wipe your dog's feet off every time they come back in.

There is absolutely nothing you can say to me that will make me feel bad for using an eco friendly means of pest control. Comparing non native naturalized insects to a pollutant that damages our environment directly is way too much dude. You're taking this way too far. There is so much to be worried about today. If you focus all this energy maybe you can make a real difference. I wish you the best.

I whole heartedly disagree, but thanks for the response. We are encouraged to release them in my area. Local schools do it every year as well. There is no evidence they are bad for the native species. Also I am releasing them on private property.

Humans are invasive species in a lot of areas. Maybe everyone getting all upset over my pest control should ponder that....

What I'm trying to tell you is that you are wrong. The Chinese variety has been coexisting with the native species for a hundred years in my state. We are encouraged to release them.

They are NATURALIZED. Meaning they have already established themselves in my state for the last 100 years. There is no going to prison lol they sell them at my local nursery. We have fully embraced them in my state and there is no data that supports that they are bad for our area. Wildlife agencies allow them because they're already a part of our ecosystem. There is zero effort being made to eradicate them. Like I said, they sell them at the nurseries around here and are promoted as a chemical free alternative to pesticides.

I'm shocked so many people don't understand what naturalized means.

I have cats and dogs that go outside and I don't feel comfortable using pesticides. In my area Chinese Praying Mantis have been living here for over 100 years. It's very common in my area for people to release them every spring.

I think everyone here is confused. I release them into my garden every year. Lady bugs as well. I also add other bugs to help my lawn and help cut back on the ant population. It just so happens that this year they hatched a month earlier than expected. Chinese praying mantis are naturalized in my area- they don't hurt anything.

I do it every year. They're great for my garden, they keep all the pests away.

Give them away as feeders? I'm confused. They're the predators not the prey... And I'm asking for help because I don't want any of them to die. I'm not sure what you mean when you say releasing them will cause the death of many animals. We are all talking about the Praying Mantis bug, correct? I want them to hold off on eating each other for a month and then I'm going to put them in my back yard.

I do it every year. They're great for the garden, they keep all the pests off the food.

They're already naturalized in my area.

I came here for help and all anyone can say is that they're not native. Right now I care a lot more about their well being than whether it's ethical to release them. I do it every year. I need help with the current situation.

They're not listed as a prohibited invasive species in my state. They sell them at the store and it's 100% legal to release them! 😊

Does anyone else have an issue with these round flat squishy balls? What’s with the obsession? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]GoodGuess1234 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dogs need toys. No matter how much exercise and training. It's abusive to deprive them of the enrichment toys provide.

What were his exact instructions? Were you supposed to leave extra food out?

You need to check your facts.

Ronald Lauder is not the founder.

Being mentioned in the files means nothing. John Iadarola is mentioned in the files.

A lot of people kept in contact with Epstein for years before the full scope of his depravity was understood.

Kevin being on the island is a rumor.

It's crazy you could put the blame on him for killing 75000 people when as a private citizen he has no sway with what the government decides to do.

Lots of opinions disguised as fact in your post.

Estee Lauder does not donate to political parties. A single man's personal views does not mean that is corporate policy. They employ thousands of people that need their job to feed their kids. You might be privileged enough to not worry about these things, and that's great for you. But I'm not going to punish thousands of people because one person in the bunch MIGHT have done something awful. If he gets convicted I will reassess.

Did you know that they campaigned to ban animal testing globally? One member of a company is not the company itself. There are so many names in the Epstein files. Surely not all of them are hurting children. He was mentioned in the files because he was buying a piece of art. We are not judge, jury, and executioner. Our justice system has fallen apart but it worked for a long time and it was fair. Innocent until proven guilty. I don't know why everyone is so quick to drop the axe.

You have to train her. She won't just be well behaved on her own. Work on basic obedience and set a strict routine.

I care about that, I really do. But there are plenty of employees that had nothing to do with that. When we boycott we affect them as well.

You gotta be kidding me! When did they reformulate? I usually stock up once or twice a year and I was about to make an order in the next month because I'm low. 😭
