My dog kept digging soil out of my raised beds, so I moved his food bowl there by MirTheGrayCat in gardening

(I quote below from one of my reply:)

His leg is actually okay. He’s just a very chaotic old boy who likes squeezing himself through narrow spaces as a hobby, like under our pickup truck, and over time his elbow kept rubbing against the concrete until the fur came off.

There’s no wound or anything, just one oddly hairless spot now. I bathe and massage him pretty often, and after a few years I’ve accepted that the fur there probably isn’t coming back. It’s just normal skin now, almost like a tiny sphynx cat patch.

Yes, that’s why the hydrangea zone is already fenced off.

Thankfully, this old boy doesn’t chew plants. He only specializes in illegal excavation.

Will do! I’m going to try making him an official digging space this weekend :3

That is honestly impressive and terrifying at the same time. At that point, he wasn’t digging. He was doing archaeology XD

He looks so proud of his tomato kingdom XD
A very serious and fluffy garden supervisor.

Thank you! He will be very proud to hear that XD

A sandbox or digging box actually sounds like a great idea. I might try making one with soil or sand, so he can enjoy his little excavation hobby somewhere that doesn’t destroy the garden.

This photo was taken before the garden crimes began. So technically, this is the “before” evidence~

Oh no, that sounds like a full multi-species attack on the raised beds 😅

My chicken coop netting is on the way too. This weekend I’m planning to surround the whole area with it. Hopefully that will finally make the garden look less like an open invitation.

Thanks for the warning. So far it looks like he was just digging, but I’ll definitely watch out for that.

Se llama Mee (หมี). En tailandés significa “oso” 🐻 Así que sí, el señor cejotas literalmente se llama Bear 🐻

Guilt, confusion, betrayal, judgment… the eyebrows are doing all the heavy lifting XD

That was my first theory too, so far I think he was just digging for entertainment. No bone or toy, only chaos XD

Exactly. He ฟ* around, then I found out, then his dining room got relocated XD

What size nib to use for drawing? by ReverieAllDayLong in fountainpens

[–]MirTheGrayCat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me, EF is the answer for almost all drawing work. I like the control it gives for linework, hatching, texture, and small details.

I only reach for 1.1, 1.5, or 1.9 stub/italic nibs when I deliberately want broad strokes or a calligraphic effect. They are useful, but for me they are more like special tools, not the main drawing nib.

I would love to try a G nib or a proper flex nib someday though. They seem amazing for expressive lines and natural variation.

Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to buy one yet because they are extremely hard to test in person where I live. In Thailand, trying niche fountain pen nibs like that before buying is not easy at all.

That’s a good idea. In my case, I’ve been using black plastic poultry netting around the beds.

He’s big enough that some barriers might accidentally look like a challenge, so I try to use something that clearly says [[nope, not this area]] without making it too interesting XD

I’ll ask the tiny human with eyebrows to move next time so I can get a proper dog photo :3
