#maybe some sort of beagle or terrier?

Tumblr media
Fixing up some dogs today! A domestic dog skull in the front and a coyote skull in the back both had their mandibles snapped in two. I used glue and also some strips of fabric to hopefully make them sturdier for future use as educational pieces! The tape is temporary while the glue sets.

What do you think aot characters pet preference are??
How about you, are you a cat person or a dog person?? Do you have OR had any pets?
ty for asking anon 🥰 i like both cats and dogs, but i have asthma and cat hair bothers me so i can't have one myself, sadly. i do have a dog though!
Tumblr media
╰┈➤ what kind of pets they like- aot.
ft. armin, eren, jean. cw. none.
Tumblr media
⋙ armin alert.
i could see armin with either a topical aquarium or a small dog
he's always loved the ocean so of course he'd like to own fish. and he'd be really good about it too, always monitoring the temperature of the water, making sure the tank is cleaned regularly -- like obviously, but he does it to the point of near-obsession.
with his small dog, it would be something cute like a beagle or some kind of terrier that he takes on regular walks around the neighbourhood
he'd get really excited about teaching his dog new tricks and for sure he'd get those little buttons so his dog could "talk"
⋙ eren jaeger.
either no pet or a medium-sized dog.
i feel like his life is pretty busy so he wouldn't want to get a pet just to leave it home alone 90% of the time, so he wouldn't even bother getting one.
but if his life chilled out, he'd get a high-energy medium-sized dog like a german shepherd or a husky or a lab of some sort. something that would be able to go for runs and hikes with him
and then he'd be an insufferable dog dad. his dog goes everywhere with him, the backseat of his car is eternally covered in fur, and he's got an instagram page just for his dog.
⋙ jean kirsten.
either a cat or a large dog.
i think he leans towards getting a cat because they're so chill and relaxed, but still cuddly. i could see him getting stuck with a kitten somehow, and intending on dropping it off at an animal rescue, but then falling in love with it when it falls asleep on his lap and then it's game over.
he'd somehow get talked into helping foster a dog. maybe there's a dog in dire need of a home at the vet clinic that sasha works at and she begs jean to take it, and it's this 120lb monster that's afraid of thunder and other people
and jean absolutely falls in love with him once the dog starts warming up to him. jean lets him sleep up on the bed with him, takes him for walks every morning etc (and keeps eren and his psycho dog far away from him, because his dog gets so scared of eren's dog)

Harper (RIP little old lady) didn’t really have a clear breed. She’s the size of a typical housecat. We believe she was mostly a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix, but she jumped like a Jack Russell Terrier and the way she held her paw up when focusing on something is characteristic of the Beagle. So we think she also has a little of those two breeds.
But the biggest mystery of all was on the back of her neck. She had this ridge of fur typically only seen on the Rhodesian Ridgeback, and she was far too small for us to believe that’s in her mix.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Are we on the money or do you think we may be off?
(Fun fact: During her middle-aged years, she had sculpted muscles. You can kind of see it in the fourth photo, but it was more apparent on her back and back legs when she put her paws up on the car window on the way to the park.)
What a funny little lady you had there! I would also guess Chihuahua or maybe Rat Terrier in there, but I almost wonder if she's got some Corgi in her instead of Dachshund as the source of those short little legs. Breeding a very short-coated dog to a medium/long-coated dog can sometimes lead to hair sticking up in odd places or patterns, and her face and head and neck looks a little more Corgi-ish to me instead of Dachshund. Doxies generally have narrower, longer heads with not so defined a stop, and less loose skin around their necks; then again, with a melting pot mutt mix it's never easy to tell, so I could be wrong. Maybe she did have like 1.4% Rhodesian Ridgeback in her, who knows--it's certainly possible for the smaller breeds in the mix to mask that sort of size. Ultimately, guessing breeds in mixes is always going to be an inexact science.
Regardless, she seems to have been a wonderful little lady, and gets an unofficial official AKC Certification of Good Girl from me 👍 I'm glad you had such a wonderful pup light up your life for the time she was with you. May her memory continue to bring you joy. ❤️

Survivors Breed Headcanons
I try to stick to canon, sort of, mostly, but sometimes it just doesn’t work.
Lucky and Bella: I forgot the URL of the person who pointed it out, but Sheltie doesn’t really work for their size, since they’re some of the bigger dogs in the Pack. So I’ll go with rough collie/retriever. For the retriever parent, to be generous to Lucky’s pups’ coloring, I’ll say it was a liver-hued yellow lab/golden retriever mix.
That same person also had Bruno as pure GSD, which makes more sense for his size than GSD/Chow. (Chows aren’t small by any means, but it’d make him shorter.)
All the other characters with explicit, in-book canon breeds can stay as they are. (This also means that Moon stays a border collie.)
Sweet’s stated to be a greyhound outside the books, but the early Pack Lists say she’s “small”. IDK if the Erins who worked on Survivors have ever seen a real greyhound, but they’re not small. Salukis are, though. OTOH I’m pretty sure she’s supposed to be taller than Lucky, since The Endless Lake states that she’s tall enough to see the stage where Storm and Fang are fighting without standing on a seat. Therefore, I’ll make her a greyhound-Saluki mix to strike a balance between the two.
Fiery’s an English Mastiff. I’m making him a brindle, since his color descriptions vary from “black” to “brown” to “black-and-brown” throughout the books.
Mulch is an English Cocker Spaniel/flat-coated retriever/field spaniel mix.
Snap is a beagle/Jack Russell/fox terrier mix.
Spring and Twitch are Beagle/English springer spaniel mixes, with maybe some cocker spaniel as well.
Whine’s a pug.
Breeze is supposed to be a lab/collie mix, but collie doesn’t work for her size (she’s supposed to be small), so I’ll switch that out for the Sheltie that I had to take away from Lucky and Bella.
Dart is a whippet mix. My instinct is to throw in some sort of terrier, maybe smooth fox terrier.
Whisper can be a whippet/cattle dog mix like he’s meant to be, but he is going to have some black areas.
Woody is supposed to be a beagle/pointer mix, but he’s also supposed to be stocky and one of the biggest dogs in the Pack. Therefore I’m getting rid of beagle and adding in American Bulldog. I might throw in some other larger scent hound so I can keep the beagle look.
Hunter (yes, really) is staying a Great Dane mix. However, gray-and-brown is not a color pattern Great Danes have. The closest I can come is assuming that gray=dilution (blue) and the brown parts are tan points. I’ll throw in some Dobie and malamute for dilution + tan points.
Beta (the one before Sweet) is an Irish Setter mixed with golden retriever and Alaskan malamute, for a little extra size.
Everything below this point is pretty much flying blind. There aren’t even suggestions about these dogs.
Splash is a cocker spaniel/cairn/Welsh terrier mix.
Rake is a greyhound/Airedale/schnauzer mix.
Chase is a Brittany/Norfolk terrier/Lakeland terrier mix.
Ruff is a Scottish terrier/toy poodle mix.
Fly is a boxer/German short-haired pointer mix.
Meadow is a border terrier/Norfolk terrier/cairn terrier mix.
Rush is a soft-coated wheaten terrier/Lakeland terrier/Welsh terrier mix.

Background
Hey! 
Great News - I GOT A DOG!
All my life, I have only ever wanted a dog. And all my life I was told no. For good reason, but all the same - no. 
My husband knew how much I wanted a dog. Some people check shoe websites daily, others search for the latest gadgets, I checked petfinder.com. 
It was no secret I wanted a dog.
I admired the dogs daily, researched their breeds, assessed which would be a good fit for us and our life and decided which would not. By doing this I was establishing what it was we wanted needed in a dog:
I wanted a female dog - They are smaller, often tend to be the more loyal of the two sexes (they won’t run after another female in heat like a male would) they don’t have that lipstick thing going on )those with male dogs know exactly what I am talking about) and they don’t pee or mark as much. 
We did not want a puppy - I don’t have a clue about potty training, teething, up all night adjusting to the crate, and we could move within the next few years. 
I wanted a house dog - Outdoor dogs are great especially if they are working dogs (cattle dogs, hounds, guard dogs etc) but I wanted a breed that suited to being indoors.
Short coat - we wanted a dog who wouldn’t shed alot - GDS have two coats so never stop shedding, we just didn’t want hair everywhere. 
Small/Medium - The more I looked the more I realized I didn’t want a huge dog as my first dog as I needed to establish myself as a pack leader and I can’t do that if I am intimidated by a dog that is too big for me to handle but it definitely did not want a Chihuahua. 
Already a picture was forming. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the dogs mentioned above it was about identifying the breeds that were not going to work for me as much as identifying those that were. 
The dog had to be good with kids - we have 7 nieces and nephews ranging from 15 months to 13 years.
House trained would be preferred - dogs end up in shelters and rescues for all sorts of reasons it’s not unusual for owners to be in situations to give up their family pet - deaths in the family, break ups, change of living situations - you never know.
Good with other animals - In the future I want chickens and maybe a little fainting goat If I got a young-ish dog now in the future they were going to have to share with other animals, it would be unfair to adopt a dog who needed to be alone only to change that down the line. 
You may think this is picky, but in fact I knew the realities of my life and how in the next few months it is going to change and if I was to have a dog these were the conditions which I could get one. 
Going to a shelter and falling in love with a dog is easy making sure your life can accommodate them in the long run is hard. 
My requirements were leaning towards a terrier breed. I did countless “breed selector quizzes” AnimalPlanet was one of the best and by changing the choices I was able to see which breeds would work eg, first I said I would walk the dog for 20-30 mins a day by changing it to 45 mins I was able to see what requirements different breeds needed. 
My husband and I visited adoption event when in Denver on vacation. This nutter fell in love with bug fluffy puppies. He liked the pretty blue eyed Australian Heeler - you know the hunting dog that requires a ton of exercise - NOPE! 
Tumblr media
He then fell in love with a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy.  You know the big fluffy ones that again need a ton of outdoor exercise.  Not going to happen.
Tumblr media
The man who didn’t want a dog that barked loved the look of Hounds and Beagles, the man who didn’t want a dog that needed tons and tons of exercise adored Collie dogs and the man who wanted a sturdy, chill dog wasn’t too impressed by the Heinz 57 mutts that I loved. If I took this man to adopt a dog I knew that within a few hours he would greatly regret the dog he had picked. He wasn’t unrealistic he just didn’t spend all his free time researching different breeds like me haha.
Terriers - this was the way to go. Good hardy dog, loyal to his family, great with kids, can be trained to like other animals but keep an eyes on his prey driven tenancies, stubborn but with great big personalities also (when willing) great to train. Terriers also happen to be great pocket guard dogs - its not a necessity but it’s nice. 
Tumblr media
Then one day I saw her.....

How to Get Creative with Dog Exercise
 ​
Tumblr media
When your dog gets adequate exercise, it carries over to every other part of your dog’s life.
Dogs that receive frequent and regular exercise tend to be healthier, more social, and less aggressive than inactive dogs.
But sometimes, just walking your dog every day and letting it run around your big backyard isn’t enough. Maybe your dog is bored and is gaining weight. Or maybe you both just need a new activity to stimulate the body and mind.
Whatever the case may be, here are easy ways to get creative with dog exercise:
Go Surfing
Surfing certainly isn’t for every dog. But you’d be surprised by how many Australians surf with their dogs. Reuters even covered the phenomenon earlier this year. Some surfers simply bring their dogs to the beach and the dog runs around, swims a little bit, and waits for the owner to return. More extreme surfers, however, will actually bring their dogs on the board with them. Sometimes, the dog just swims out and stays beside you while you surf. It’s not an option for everyone, and it can be a bit dangerous for you, your dog, and other surfers, but if you’re just going after some smaller waves closer to shore, your dog might love splashing around with you. If you need help training your dog to surf, by the way, this guy can help. He travels around Sydney teaching dogs how to surf.
Get Competitive
There are all sorts of competitions for you and your dog to enjoy. Some people join dog agility competitions, where dogs move through obstacle courses under the guidance of their owner or handler. You can teach your dog how to jump, go through tunnels, and safely navigate various walkways. There are all sorts of directions you can go with dog agility training. Some owners focus on teaching their dogs how to jump long distances or high distances, for example. Others compete with other dog owners at catching, hunting, or recovery events. If you’re competitive and want your dog to share your competitive nature while also becoming healthier and more obedient, then dog agility competitions may be the right creative exercise for you and your pooch.
Go Running or Hiking
Have you and your dog grown tired of doing the same one or two block loop around your home? Get a little more creative. Go running along the river or ocean. Go out on a hike. It’s a healthy activity for both of you to enjoy. Plus, you get to explore more of the beauty around you. Whether it’s the Blue Mountains or the beaches, there are plenty of places to go hiking and running around Sydney.
Get Creative with Indoor Exercises
Maybe it’s raining or too hot outside. Just because you’re stuck inside doesn’t mean you can give your dog the day off. Get better with indoor exercises. Some popular indoor dog exercises include: -Playing tug of war -Setting up an obstacle course -Running up and down the stairs -Playing hide and seek -Playing fetch -Wrestling
Consider the Type of Exercise That’s Best for your Dog
Not all dogs are suited for long runs with you. In some cases, running with your dog is only going to cause them to get injured, dehydrated, or frustrated. Some dogs are suited for brisk, shorter runs, for example, while others are suited for long, moderate-rate walks. Here’s a general guideline to follow:
-Long, Steady Runs (More than 10km): Weimeraners, Goldendoodles, German shorthaired pointers, and Jack Russel terriers -Fast, Shorter Runs (Fewer than 10km): Greyhounds, pit bulls, English setters, beagles, golden and Labrador retrievers -Running in the Heat: Rhodesian ridgebacks, vizslas, Airedale terriers, and fox terriers Walking your dog should never be boring. Get creative with dog exercise and you’ll both be having fun and getting healthier at the same time.
Consult the best vet in Concord for all the queries related to your pet

Ok so, can I has meh a HC of how the boys would react to their female crush having a three legged mutt named Chicken? She just found the dog rummaging through trash in an alley way so she took him in and instantly fell in love. Now Chicken is super protective of her.

TYPES OF DOG CANCER We’ve already covered the signs of canine cancers, now let’s quickly cover the different, most common types of dog cancer.
LYMPHOMA This type of dog cancer is found in the lymph nodes or bone marrow and usually diagnosed in dogs between 6 to 9 years old. It attacks the dog’s immune system and will spread rapidly if not addressed.
There are five stages of lymphoma in dogs, with each having their treatment options and prognosis. Dog lymphoma is usually first noticed in a painless but swollen lymph node behind your dog’s neck or knees.
HEMANGLOSARCOMA Cancer of the blood vessels, hemangiosarcoma is more commonly found in dogs than any other species. It is most often found in the spleen, liver, and heart but can spread to any organ or occur just below the skin.
Unfortunately, there are no obvious early warning signs with hemangiosarcoma and oftentimes it is not found until it is in its advanced stages. This type of canine cancer is most frequently found in large breeds like German Shepherds or golden retrievers.
MELANOMA A type of skincare that you’ve likely heard about due to its frequency in humans, melanoma is most often found in or around a dog’s mouth or lips. It can also be found in their nail beds, footpads, and eyes.
Melanoma in dogs can be particularly aggressive, spreading from the skin deep into a dog’s organs. Early signs of melanoma in dogs include swollen paws, a draining eye, or sores in or around their mouth.
MAST CELL TUMORS Found in the skin and other tissues like the respiratory tract or intestines, mast cell tumors attack a dog’s immune system by turning normally protective enzymes and histamines against the dog.
Mast cell tumors are very common in older dogs. Mixed breeds should be particularly on the lookout as well as boxers, Boston terriers, beagles, and schnauzers. The earliest sign is usually skin lesions, with agitation caused by discomfort also common.
OSTEOSARCOMA Cancer of the bone, about 85% of osteosarcoma tumors are malignant and will grow very quickly. It is most commonly found in large breed dogs that are 4 to 7 years in age.
Early signs include swelling and lameness. Breeds most at risk include Great Danes, Irish setters, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and golden retrievers.
MAMMARY CANCER Mammary cancer is most often found in female dogs that were not spayed or were not spayed until after they were 2 years old. Roughly 50% of mammary tumors in dogs are malignant and have metastasized (spread) by the time of surgical removal.
It is tough to spot, with mammary tumors usually appearing only as a small nodule on or around the dog’s nipple.
Please be sure to pay attention to these signs of cancer in dogs. If you notice anyone or multiple signs, then you should contact your veterinarian immediately. Cure rates have never been better, and improve even more with early detection.
Best wishes to you and your pup, and please be sure to pin or share this so you can help other dog parents to know the warning signs of canine cancer!

Puppies, Ships and Chilie
What would happen if Gigi adopted a bunch of puppies from a shelter?
The idea came from a gift @royslittleharper sent me.
@maruthor @daisyboobear @guns-n-lilies @nightwing-rules
Bart had just meant to bring her to the adoption day at the rescue as a Valentines/ Birthday gift. Just let her play with the puppies.
Unfortunately, Bart didn’t count on the fact that he can’t say no to Gigi. Especially when she gave him the puppy dog look. With 8 other puppies looking up at him.
And that was how Gigi came back to the Young Justice HQ with a new team of her own. A team of puppies.
It was a week.
A week of Gigi walking around the base with 8 puppies following her around like little ducks.
Her little children who she named after all her friends.
There was Superboy, a cute blue husky mix who was always running around trying to cause trouble and fight with Robin.
Robin was a pretty brown hound of some sort (maybe some Beagle?) who would rather snuggle and sleep than be bothered by the hyper Superboy.
Which meant Superboy ended up messing with Impulse and Blue Bettle. Two small terriers. Impulse was white with brown spots and Blue Beetle was a pretty black. They were always playing and while half the size of the floppy husky but more than willing to take on the very excited husky.
Guardian was a large German Shepherd or maybe a Belgian Malinois while Angel was a small golden pomeranian. Yes, Faith got two named after her because, after all, she was Gigi’s best friend.
Red Arrow, was a beautiful black and white border collie who always trying to hump Willow a petite Shetland sheepdog. When asked why the black and white dog was named after RED Arrow was Gigi had just shrugged while watching the excited puppy lick Willow on the face.
Gigi tried to sleep with them all but that ended up being a disaster. Superboy kept running everywhere chasing Impulse while Red Arrow and Willow ended up snuggling on the couch.
Robin, getting fed up with his siblings had ended up in Faith’s room with Guardian who had taken a liking to the brunette girl because she would play tug of war with her. Faith would literally get on the floor like a dog and put a rope in her mouth for Guardian to tug at. Needless to say, Guardian thought Faith was the coolest.
“Is your mom going to let you keep them all?” Faith asked the next day as Gigi tried to gather them all up to go home.
“We have a yard.” the red haired girl said as if this explained how she was going to keep 8 hyper puppies.
“Yeah, but it’s not a farm.” her best friend said
Needless to say, it didn’t end well with her mother who didn’t want ANY pets.
Unfortunately for Gigi’s mother Gigi’s brothers fell in love with Impulse and begged their mother to let them keep him. And by begged they hid the small puppy under their bed and their mother didn’t even realize he was there until weeks later.
Sadly for their Mom, Gigi had worn her down begging to let her kept Angel. She had finally said yes only to find little Impulse a few hours later chewing on George’s shoe. So while she didn’t end up with 8 puppies the Chin family did end up with two.
Sadly, the other 6 duckling puppies had to be trotted back to the Young Justice Headquarters.
Upon seeing Guardian Faith let out a squeal falling to all fours only to have the floppy puppy come running up. Following by Superboy who wanted to get in the middle of everything. Faith ended up in a literal doggy pile with the two of them.
Both Dog and Human Robin watched on.
“Come play!” Faith called out to Tim who just shook his head, his third cup of coffee in his hand both human and puppy yawning at the same time.
This gave Faith an idea.
“We are going to give each of the human’s their puppies” Gigi informed Roy and Maia a few hours later as she lead their puppy namesakes up to them, “And they’re in love so it’s best to let them be around each other.”
“She’s not kidding, the way those two are with each other you are going to have more puppies soon.” Faith said as Guardian shook her head letting her oversized ears flop around. The poor puppy was so awkward and disproportionate she wasn’t use to her own size, “At least we will get our ship one way”
Roy scowled as he pulled Red Arrow off Willow, “What does that mean?” he asked
“But we want nieces and nephews that aren't puppies,” Gigi said as she handed Blue Beetle to Jamie. The small fluffy black puppy was so excited to see his namesake he bit the boy on the nose.
“But I don't see a boat anywhere?” Maia added as she placed Willow on her lap only to have Red Arrow climb up onto her lap too to snuggle with his soulmate.
“Don't dodge the pregnancy talk,” Faith said throwing a ball for Guardian who dashed after it tripping over her own paws. “We want kids”
“Yeah, I wanna have more people for my tea parties,” Gigi said
“Our children would be busy for those” Roy said quickly dismissing her. Maia turned to him in shock at what he just said.
“Wait, what?”
“It’s happening” Gigi squealed to Faith
“I’m still confused by this ship,” Maia said pulling out her phone so she could google it.
Needless to say, this was how she found out about fanfics.
Bonus:
Because Gigi kept puppy Impulse and human Superboy already had a wolf and superdog Bart adopted Superboy.
“Oh, you're going to keep Chili?” Faith asked as Bart started running in circles with the gangly dog who was barking excitedly.
“What?” he asked looking up.
“Well Gigi’s brother’s kept calling him Supe for short so I started calling him Chilli…” Tim laughed from his seat where he was working. Robin laying at his feet.
“Only you…”
“I kind of like Chili” Bart said, “Chil for short.”
“Awww that’s so cute!” Gigi said
“And the opposite of that dog,” Tim mumbled to Faith who just laughed as she watched Chil chase his tail.
“Well I’m a sucker for irony”

I wasn’t tagged, but I saw @ryttu3k do this meme earlier and I want to do something right now, so this is something that’s getting done.
Name: Scrawlers.
Nicknames: Scrawlers. =P
Gender: Female.
Sexual orientation: Biromantic asexual.
Star sign: Taurus (30 April).
Height: 5′0″, even.
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor and proud of it.
Favourite colours: This shade of blue, and this shade of green. 
Favourite animals: If we’re talking about domesticated animals, then dogs all the way. It’s not that I don’t like other animals---I do!---but I have a special fondness for dogs and probably always will. In particular, my favorite breeds are:
Shelties (shetland sheepdogs), even though seeing pictures of them splinters my heart into a billion pieces due to how achingly I still miss Shiloh.  I can still identify shelties on sight after spending fifteen years with one, and I honestly start to cry every single time I do. So like, basically, I think shelties are the best breed of dog, but so much as seeing a picture of one will make me cry, and god forbid I’m in the presence of one, because just the texture of their fur makes me break. (Seriously, my friend’s sheltie kept coming over to me for petting and I just lost it all over him. Crying all over the place. I was a mess.)
That said, I have a fondness for sheepdogs in general, specifically the aforementioned shelties and border collies. I also like regular collies, too.
German shepherds
Huskies
Whatever breeds came together to make Morgan. (The rescue said border collie and beagle, and I can tell that she has some sort of terrier in her as well. That said, I’m not sure of her exact breed, and it doesn’t matter, tbh. I adore her just the way she is. To quite Chris Traeger, she is half-amazing, half-terrific. Well, okay, probably more like half-terrific, half-impish, but still. =P)
As far as wild animals go, my favorite animals have been wolves since childhood. While I do have other animals that I like a lot (e.g. red-tailed hawks, foxes), wolves have been my favorite for the longest time and I don’t see that changing. And then, as far as mythical creatures go, well . . . I feel like it should come as a surprise to absolutely no one when I say that I have a distinct fondness for dragons. 
Average hours of sleep: Like . . . maybe four on a weeknight, and then closer to ten if it’s Saturday or Sunday. :/ So that would be . . . about 40 hours of sleep per week? When I’m supposed to be getting 63? Yikes.
Favourite fictional characters: I’ll choose one from each of my current active fandoms, though they’re in no particular order aside from the first one.
Alan from Pokémon is my all-time favorite fictional character for a lot of reasons, but one of the primary ones is dear gods I have never related to a fictional character more. Like there are characters where I can say, “Yeah, I feel them/relate to their struggles” in some way, because they were written to be relatable, but none come even close to how much I relate to Alan in a lot of ways which I needed a character like him to relate to (without even realizing that I needed that!). He is my valiant dragon son and he is so, so important to me---again, for a lot of reasons, but also because he’s helping me work through some things that I probably should have worked through a decade ago, but, uh, better late than never. Anyway, I love him. He is my ultimate fave. Mess with him and you mess with me, et cetera.
Okumura Rin from Blue Exorcist is one of the best characters to ever be created, because despite being the literal spawn of Satan he is immensely pure of heart, brave, snarky, protective, and downright adorable. This boy loves his brother, his friends, his (demon) cat, gets in fights to protect wild pigeons, loves to cook and is damn good at it, and is just . . . I love him. Rin is wonderful. And if you’re reading this and you’re familiar with YGO, then know that if you love Jounouchi then you will love Rin, because Rin has a lot in common with Jounouchi, sans the toxic masculinity Jounouchi was saddled with at the start of the series, and SPEAKING OF WHICH . . .
Jounouchi Katsuya from Yu-Gi-Oh! is still my darling boy and I still love him to pieces as well. He’s definitely up there in terms of favorites for me. ♥ (And truth be told I’m not very active in YGO at the moment, but Jounouchi still deserves a mention because I love him that much, so.)
I can’t choose just one character from The Office, so it’s a toss-up between Jim Halpert, Pam Beesly-Halpert, Ryan Howard (in seasons 1-3, and here and there from 5-onward), Dwight Schrute, Karen Filipelli, Stanley Hudson, and Oscar Martinez. Oh, and of course Michael Scott has his moments.
A toss-up between Kinomoto Sakura, Li Syaoran, and Kinomoto Touya for Cardcaptor Sakura. Oh, and Kero-chan. Gotta love Kero-chan. ♥
And I think that’s it for current fandoms, but give this another month and it’ll be time for Breath of the Wild, so . . . x) I also think RttE is coming back soon, which would bring back Dreamworks Dragons (and we all know how much I love Hiccup), but I’m not sure of the exact date on that.
Wow, this is long. Fill it out if you want!

Salted caramel, black raspberry, mango, and blackberry!!! For you AND Pia of course :D
Thank you for asking! Pia isn’t a character (I know nothing about her lmao) so I will answer for Ebony instead, the badass version of her in my legacy. ~Lila
salted caramel: favorite movies? 
Lila: I don’t watch a lot of movies, but I’ve probably watched the whole Harry Potter series 5 times! I also love Marvel films (The Avengers especially!) and How to Train a Dragon is pretty nice as well. These sound a bit childish, but I get scared/queasy easily so yes 😊
Ebony: She isn’t really a movie type of girl, but if she does watch one it is likely to be some sort of creepy horror film. 
Xin: There are a few movies I go back to, including Titanic, Interstellar and Pitch Perfect. Movies that have stuck with me are The Changeling, Train to Busan and Miracles in Cell No.7. ^.^
black raspberry: do you have any pets? 
Lila: I used to have two Labrador dogs, but my mom now owns a dog minding business, so we usually have a couple doggies running amok in the house. Right now, we have four dogs! A Maltese, Toy Poodle, Beagle and West Highland Terrier/Miniature Schnauzer cross. It is surprisingly peaceful for that many little dogs ❤
Ebony: Her boyfriend/s? LMAO. 
Xin: Nope. Used to own goldfish but they kept dying and I couldn’t handle the sadness so I refrained from buying more.
mango: when and why did you start your blog? 
This blog? We started it maybe 10 months ago? And we started it because we had just learnt how to make poses and we thought we were all that so we wanted to make pose packs to share with everyone. 
blackberry: have you ever laughed so hard you cried? 
Lila: Yep! Just not as much as Xinxin though LOL.
Xin: Many many times. You can ask Lila, she has witnessed most occasions of this occurrence. In fact I laughed so hard I cried yesterday because my sister kept tickling me. Tickling is painful I tell you.

Best Dog Breeds for Families: A Best Friend For All
Looking to add a new member to the family by adopting a new dog? When choosing a new puppy or dog for adoptions, consider the best dog breeds for families based on size, temperament and lifestyle. You might be surprised to what little (or big) furball is your next most amazing best friend.
Best Dog Breeds for Kids
Kids and dogs don’t always get along. The reason is simple, neither respect boundaries at times. If you have kids, especially younger once who haven’t spent a lot of time around dogs, choose the right breed with a good temperament known for being around energetic kids.
The American Kennel Club recommends considering your home’s physical interior and exterior environment when considering any of the breeds considered great with kids. Your new best friend needs to be a good fit from all sides.
Golden Retriever
  Who doesn’t want their own Air Bud? Golden retrievers are loyal, smart, confident and loyal. They are particularly patient with children and seem to relish the extra attention and energy kids bring to the relationship.
Labrador Retriever
Whether it is fetch or frolicking in the ocean waves, Labrador retrievers are great family dogs. Not only are they extremely playful dogs, but they are also protective of the little beta and omega members of the family (aka the kiddos), keeping them safe from all sorts of trouble.
Beagle
Maybe best idolized in the Peanuts cartoon series for decades, kids around the world love Snoopy. The Beagle is a small dog that won’t overwhelm kids. He is patient and calm. For kids who love to be outside, the hound in this dog make him the perfect exploration companion thanks to his keen hunting dog’s heritage.
Collies
Lassie was always there to save the day. But as Babe the Pig learned, Lassie’s cousin, the Border Collie is smart, loyal and playful. Collie breeds in general are smart and easy learners. These medium-sized dogs love showing off new tricks with their kid playmates whenever possible.
Newfoundland
These dogs are great water dogs and considered one of the smartest breeds out there. Many dog experts call the Newfoundland “Nature’s Babysitter” because the big lovable beast doesn’t mind being a pillow and a playmate.
Even though we have highlighted some great breeds made famous in film, television and print, not every breed on television is a good example of a family dog for kids. After 101 Dalmatians was first released, families across American bought Dalmatian puppies only to flood shelters a year later when the high-strung dog either nipped at children or created disarray in homes where they couldn’t be the center of attention. Not every dog is a great companion for children.
Best Dog Breed for New Couples
  New couples often adopt a purebred dog before they create a kid. It’s a good way to see how well you parent together. Finding a perfect family companion at a local shelter is a great way to build a family and help a dog in need. Many mixed breeds found at shelters are perfect for new couples.
At the same time, pure breeds are often a gift in a relationship, representing things are getting serious. It doesn’t matter if you choose smaller or larger dogs. Find one that fits your home meeting the needs of apartment living, patio dining or camping trips.
Basset Hound
https://ift.tt/2QnJgpw
If you want someone to take the karaoke mic on Friday nights, the Basset Hound your dog. He’ll howl with you and all your friends because he loves everyone including strangers. This hunting dog breed seems to have endless tail wags unless he catches the scent of something to hunt. These dogs need moderate exercise but are flexible with how. Meaning they are happy with the walk down to the local café patio for an afternoon of people watching.
Boston Terriers
https://ift.tt/2RSd0HA
This breed is a big dog in a little dog’s body. They proudly stand as if they are lions but remain as gentle as just about any breed out there. The short snout makes the Boston Terrier less suitable for places that get extremely hot because they can easily overheat, but these dogs do well in apartments, accept new family members such as newborns or other dogs with ease, and don’t have a lot of separation anxiety.
English Bulldog
A great family animal where there are other dogs, cats and even when kids get introduced. English Bulldogs are gentle protectors that don’t need a lot of space. They do well in temperate climates and become the subject of many social media videos with their snoring while chilling on movie night.
German Shepherd
A great protector because this dog was bred to protect the sheep and goat herds. German Shepherds are outgoing dogs who love to play, are courageous and curious. Many shepherd owners claim their dog is very aloof to strangers much like a lone wolf. These are working dogs that do best with routine and tasks to keep their mind active. German Shepherds do have a tendency to develop hip dysplasia from breeding practices.
Great Dane
Not quite a lap dog, but he might think he is. Hitting the scales at around 120 pounds, these dogs are big but as gentle as they come. Great Danes are stubborn and wary of other dogs on walks they don’t know. Training is essential though they do well with other animals in the home.
Best Dog Breeds for Elderly
Considering dogs for families should consider breeds for a family, regardless of the age. Elderly couples gain a lot of companionship spending time with a dog in the house. Studies have shown elderly people stay healthier with dogs partly because dogs reduce stress, force elderly people to remain active and provide security.
An elderly couple who has grandchildren visiting frequently needs to consider not just a dog that is good for them but is tolerant of the spitballs of energy that come to see them on the weekends. Elderly dog owners should consider smaller dog breeds simply for the safety factor of handling the strength and energy of a dog.
Poodle
Standard poodles are adventurous and require some yard space to investigate and play otherwise they’ll find themselves in the laundry basket. The miniature poodle is known to get particularly attached to one person, making them the ideal lap dog companion. This breed needs scheduled grooming but doesn’t shed much and is low-maintenance between grooming visits.
Corgi
A little waddle encourages a lot of walking. The Queen’s choice: Corgi’s are fun dogs who learn tricks before you even teach them. These are very stubborn dogs because they are so bright. But with a little training, they become loyal and fun companions. They do as much to encourage play as they do cuddling together with cozy nights by the fireplace.
Maltese
Small, loves to cuddle and doesn’t shed. What isn’t there to love about the eyes poking through that long hair around the crest of the Maltese’s head? These are friendly dogs who love just about everyone and are perfect for grandma when home by herself. Then they jump right in when the grandkids want to play.
  Pug
What better dog to understand our aging bodies than the pug. Heck, a few extra wrinkles make this eating and sleeping machine even more adorable. If any dog is a couch potato, the pug certainly is. Avoid giving those silly big eyes table scraps and provide encourage a little bit of play to keep their weight down.
Best Dog Breeds for Active Lifestyles
Families of all sizes, whether with kids or without, who live an active lifestyle don’t want to leave their dog behind. If you love hiking, hanging out at the lake or horseback riding on trails, you’ll want a breed that loves being outside as much as you do.
While many dog breeds are bred for outdoor activities, owners need to be the fun warden. Dogs will push themselves without care for their own health. Extreme weather (both hot and cold), extended activities without rest or not paying attention to the subtle differences of an aging dog can lead to disaster.
Here are some great breed to take with your family on those outdoor treks.
Irish Setter
Amazing athletes who love to play fetch. If your kids are playing at the park, the Irish Setter is just as happy retrieving tennis balls for the afternoon. Their stature makes them great jogging partners and their gorgeous coat keeps them cozy in snowy conditions.
Cocker Spaniel
This is a game dog who might proudly bring you a few birds as gifts. They are great in apartments or houses but do need time to cut loose and run so make sure you set time for them to play. These are easy going dogs who do well on trails, camping or hunting.
Bull Terrier
Spud MacKenzie put the Bull Terrier in the spotlight with his her (portrayed as him) starring roles in Bud Light beer commercials in the late 1980s. This breed knows his role is to be the life of the party, seemingly playing jokes on his family. These are loyal dogs with a ton of brute strength so provide outdoor time where they can explore and release that energy positively.
Weimaraner
A gorgeous dog bound to make friends for the whole family with his hazel eyes and silvery coat. Another sports dog great with the family but need both mental and physical stimulation to exhaust that immense curiosity he is born with. The Weimaraner is fast enough to keep up with you on a mild mountain bike trek and make even sprint for the win at the end (and beat you).
Boxer
Known for their jumping ability, Boxers need a good yard with excellent containment if you don’t want to be chasing him throughout the neighborhood. These dogs are strong just love to be the life of the party. They’ll make you feel safer on a camping trip with their protective nature and keen hearing.
Whatever type of dog you choose for your family, be sure to spend the time and energy to train the dog and your family. Consistency among family members including kids helps dogs understand their place in the pack. This helps reduce dominant and even aggressive behavior.
Always teach young children how to treat dogs and what signs a dog will show when he is stressed, upset or angry. It is always the owner’s responsibility to make sure everyone is safe, including the dog.
