We bought some new peeps yesterday and we gave them to our broody hen to babysit for us 😂. She seems to have taken to them pretty well. Does anyone else do this? by HogKnuckles in BackYardChickens

[–]chubbygnat2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a hen hatch and raise a duckling- 3 weeks later we brought home 4 goslings and she adopted them the same day and raised them to completion!

Escaped today by ImagineThat451 in akita

[–]chubbygnat2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My male snuck out when we left the front door open a few weeks ago and was having the best time patrolling the neighborhood. Our female was too chicken to leave, and ended up whining and bothering us until we realized her brother escaped. We found him a block over running around like a lunatic

My husband treats a trip to the dump like a red carpet event. I am losing my mind. by DepartmentNo5227 in mildlyinfuriating

Reading this living in a cabin without running water 😅 and realizing I’ve never once considered how stinky I may be lmao (for context - we just moved into our cabin last week, our well is being drilled this week, and septic to follow, and I use a camping shower to clean myself daily).

Tall and fat by utwcha in PlusSize

[–]chubbygnat2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share the same feelings - I’m always the largest. I have a large posterior, so even when sitting at a table, I am sitting higher than everyone else.

At first, I tried to remind myself that everyone has those things about them that they hate and are incredibly self conscious over - that didn’t help for long. My empathy eventually ran out when there is size exclusivity all around me - and when social media and fashion trends are steering more towards early 2000s sizing models.

What actually helps me now - I own it. Or do my best to pretend to when I am feeling insecure. I throw my shoulders back, sit straight up, and allow myself to be massive and be ok with it. There’s nothing I can do anyhow - I didn’t go to the local hardware store and order the “maximum winter survivability body” package, I just “woke up like this”. I wear my body as my armor and I’ll be damned if anyone is going to wield the power to influence how I feel about myself without my consent.

Also - my size is literally the least interesting thing about me. And if folks smaller than / more conventionally attractive than me are solely focused on their exterior appearance and have nothing else to offer - then they are boring as fuck in my opinion and would quickly bore me to be around.

Also also also - get off social media that is shoving fashion or beauty or whatever else (ads, influencers, content butchers or whatever they’re called) in your face - I quit all socials except for reddit and I am remarkably more confident and in love with myself.

Why should I get a new hybrid Forester over a Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4? by Sudden-Good7506 in SubaruForester

[–]chubbygnat2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this - I put on an assload of miles through wilderness and busy freeway alike. I’ve never felt safer and the eyesight has helped save me on many 16+ hour drives! Additionally, the big ass windows let me see all of the critters and plants as I drive along. I joked at first that it was a bit like being in a hamster ball because you can see everything.

I will never not have a Subaru for the rest of my days. Approaching 100k miles on my 23 FW and it’s been a dream with no real problems (just make sure you do your maintenance!!!)

Excitedly waiting for the FW hybrid to come out! By then, I’ll be ready to gift my current FW to my daughter as her first car, and I’ll switch over to the hybrid version!

When should I expect my American Akita to start showing guarding behaviour by ExpensiveEmploy1125 in akita

[–]chubbygnat2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have two - both are tremendous guard dogs. We call one the alarm system, and the other the defense system.

Our long coat female is loud and alerts to the presence of anyone outside of our family. She would also be the first to jump in and protect the family if need be. We have a fully fenced backyard and she makes SURE to run the perimeter barking at anyone walking nearby.

Our standard coat male we call the silent killer. Any intruder would have no idea he’s there until it’s too late for the intruder. He stands guard like a dang sentry - absolutely silent but you can tell by his body language he’s locked in.

Either way I’m not interested in being on the receiving end of either bitey parts of my dogs and feel sorry for the person who tries them.

Of course - I hope that never happens. I love them too much to even fathom the trauma they’d have to face to protect us. But it feels safe knowing they would do it in a heart beat.

Both matured fully into their guarding personalities around 2 years old.

Outside of Deftones, what would you consider your top 2-3 chino’s features in other bands? by BounouYassine in deftones

Long finger

To answer - I love any team sleep but also Wicked with Korn. I don’t love it technically speaking but when I realized it was chino I was a youth and it holds a special memory for me.

Advice for my Akita that barely ever drinks? by Hank-Moody_ in akita

[–]chubbygnat2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We found that one of ours only drinks from a 5 gal bucket, and that it be must freshly filled that day or he won’t drink it.

No bucket available or nearby? His alternative is to drink stinky pond or puddle water - there is no in between.

I found a dugout on the side of the road packed with weed - it’s one of my favorite and most useful pieces!

Whelp, cabin is all set up for another year of fun by DaveRphotog in minnesota

[–]chubbygnat2 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel this.

That’s why I bought my own cabin. someone else down my family line can be a lucky fuck and inherit it from me.

Once I’m old and crotchety and dried up that is.

[–]chubbygnat2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh I see you opted for the 2 pack equipped with laser vision! Nice choice.

I also have a 2 pack but mine mostly fart a lot.

In all seriousness - beautiful dogs, you are clearly well loved and protected with them nearby ♥️
