Well, apparently I'm adopting a dog.

So I made a thread a few days ago about how I was being asked by my brother to adopt a dog his ex-wife was taking care of, but I posted here for advice because the dog was a pitt mix and while I don't have anything against pitts, I had one that was wonderful and would never harm anything, that was a case where I raised that dog from a pup so I knew her behavior. This one was fully grown so I don't know his history.

So she responded by saying she wasn't sure if he was cat aggressive and asked if I'd take in this one instead. I'm told despite her size she's actually a puppy, and extremely malnourished so she's likely going to get much bigger. Also she's completely gentle and not a pitt mix. I was still on the fence about getting a dog, but then she told me if I can't take her the shelter will put her to sleep tomorrow, and they'll let me have her without an adoption fee. So tomorrow this'll be my dog.

I'm told her name is Angel.

Don't worry about it, having the capacity for embarrassment already puts you ahead of 30% of people.
>She does have the makings of a bad habit, but so far it's not an issue. She will go around the apartment, find something on the floor, then bring it to me as if to ask if it's okay for her to chew it up
I'd limit her chews so she understands not everything is a potential toy. Personally I let my dog play with empty paper rolls and her own toys only.
As for what toys I have a lot of tennis balls and an old climbing rope I cut a meter~ off every time she's bitten her old rope to shit.
Luna likes to destroy, so I make sure she only ever destroys her 'own' stuff(rope and balls). Wouldn't want her chewing on weird shit when i'm not around. Also i'd discourage going to the trash for toys cause we throw a lot of food away that's bad for dogs to eat, and ofc mould and rot is always a factor.

lol, so you think you can just adopt a dog and it'll be all sunshine and rainbows? you're in for a rude awakening, buddy. you're gonna have to put in a lot of work to make sure that pup is healthy, happy and well-behaved. good luck with that.

>And *when* do you think you are?
the time in history where radical right wing views are coming back and even seeping into the intelligentsia, due to CIA attempts to suppress slightly to the side of moderate left wing views because people were about to start lynching bank CEOs and put congress against the wall until they pulled out of the middle east

hopefully at some point people realize hitler was a vegan environmentalist and we can have our racism and some forests too

I live in an old apartment complex. We have old creaky wooden floor. I really want to get a cat (actually two. Two ragdolls)). However, my apartment is not very noise-friendly, you can hear basically everything when people are walking up and down our entrance, and if people hear music upstairs I can hear it clearly as well as if they're walking around or moving furniture etc.

I'm afraid if the cats are meowing or running wildly back and forth through the apartment, it could get me in trouble.

What's your experience with the noise level of cats in badly soundproofed areas?
>>
Probably not a problem since ragdolls are chill
>>
most likely not, cats have soft paws unlike dogs, so you're better off with a cat. I'd even recommend getting a kitten instead of a full-grown. cats do tend to be a bit noisy at night but not too much so it's nothing to worry about.

Farming is so simple literal retards can do it. Like other guy said chickens basically are free and care for themselfs. So if something happens anyone can grow chickens and potatos and will be fine. Not something to be really proud of desu...

No, it's impossible. Ducks have small dicks, so they can't survive something that's 6in long and 3in girth. That's why the only aquatic bird zoophiles have sex with trumpeter swans, because they are large enough they won't get injured.
