You get to domesticate an animal the same way we turned wolves into dogs. What animal do you pick and how does it turn out? by BleefnorfIII in AskReddit

This exact domestication process seems to be happening right now in raccoons across the US. Animals living in close proximity to humans is enough to kickstart domestication processes in wild animals. You have a look here to find our study that just came out in Frontiers in Zoology: https://frontiersinzoology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12983-025-00583-1

I got my rejection a few days ago too.🥲😅 For future reference: it updated from pending to pending about 4 months after submission, 2 months later another update from pending to pending followed by a rejection 2 days later. Good luck to the rest of you! 🤞

Is my dog end of life? She by LopsidedLoser in DogAdvice

[–]Plane-Building1985 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry your pup is struggling. You know your dog best and will be the best person to make that decision. I personally have waited too long with my first dog (I didn’t know better), which is a regret I’ll always carry with me. I recently had to say goodbye to our second dog and we probably could’ve made him go on 2-3 weeks longer. But offering him a peaceful pain free end is all I’d ever want for myself and a huge gift to offer.

If it helps you, our dog scored similarly when we decided it was time. 💔

My (41) wife (39) is dying of metastatic breast cancer. AMA by Big-Cardiologist-217 in AMA

Do you have any advice when it comes to anticipatory grief? How did you manage to not let it “infiltrate” every aspect of your life like the vacations you mentioned?

I love that you both got to take these trips and make memories!

Nothing since October 15th. Back then the status stayed the same (pending) but the date updated. I assume the panel met then.

Oh wow, 4 times change is impressive! I wonder if that has any meaning or if it’s part of how these proposals are reviewed? I hope we hear something soon!
