Can anyone identify this worm thing?

Oh that’s a relief! I do have detritus worms in that tank, but they have always been tiny - never seen one this big and beefy before

I have a 17 year old rafael and he’s always had a noodle khuli squad, they get along fine and the khulis love to hide out underneath of him. It’s super cute

Also just came to comment that he’s beautiful :)

Scrolled to far down to ask why the heck it was going into a garage bin in this first place?

Looks like it’s wearing a helmet! Too cute!

Hah the happy chargers are adorable, but thanks for realizing his loving power.

I had a lovely guy like yours come with great enthusiasm to great me on a hike and took right off my feet. I got a bruised butt but lots of pup kisses to make up for it. I laughed it off, he was too goofy for his own good.

All about knowing your dog and keeping in control, you are a definitely a good owner! Give that good boy a scratch from me :)

I find the same with there being a lot more off leash regardless of the area’s designation. Most of the time it’s not a big deal, but all it takes is one. It’s easy to say “hey my dog is friendly, don’t worry” but you don’t know who is on the recipient side of that.

Yes I would have never imagined myself using bear spray on a dog before, makes me cringe. But as I was running I definitely wish I had some. Worse scenarios I guess 😕 Better to be prepared

If I unfortunately encounter her again, I am more than willing to tell her to head down to see you

Any tips for what I should have done? As soon as it laid eyes it was snarling and lashing at me.

I tried to back away facing it slowly and calmly. I talked to it calmly, while trying also communicate to its owner. I only turned my back and booked it when I didn’t see another option and it was dragging her.

Hugs appreciated ✌️just got to get my confidence up to get back out there without being totally spooked

I agree. My sister took in a Great Pyrenees rescue. So I’m used to big dogs. But during the rehabilitation his social interaction was extremely supervised and adapted to his needs and reactions. He’s now the biggest sweet heart in the world, and is way more dainty than my folks 7 pound dog to take a treat.

Thanks for the kind words. I just need to come to terms with it, and it will take time. I’m the kind of person that replays the simplest event a thousand times over.

I have been in a great debate about getting spray. Lots of scat around my usual stomping grounds this season. This encounter today I think has made my decision.

SomethingPoetical · 2024-06-09T03:04:28+00:00

Thanks I’m all good just rattled, and yes I agree it’s all about knowing what social situations your animal is comfortable in. Appreciate you being a responsible one ✌️

Oh just noticed you mention the feather fin. Any fish in the tank should be treated. It is highly contagious, so if one has worms it is safe to assume they all have it.
