How do you groom a dog at home?

Though it might seem like an unneeded luxury, regular care of your dog's fur, ears, nails, and teeth avoids painful and expensive health issues that may require a doctor. Grooming also keeps your dog smell-free and looking wonderful. Professional groomers handle many pet owners' chores; nevertheless, this can be expensive, and there might not be enough groomers in the vicinity. The good thing is that you can do some or all of the required grooming duties at home if you have the requisite patience, practice, and lots of praise and goodies. Read Here...

I hate this stupid picture SO MUCH

I see it posted EVERYWHERE online and it’s always full of comments praising it and it just fills me with rage. Everything about this image is a terrible idea. Fuck this thing.

#ppl cooing over aw how sweet how cute how nice for the puppers ^w^ #Then someone posts a pic of a dog with a creative/dyed groom job and ppl lose their minds concern-trolling #use common sense holy SHIT #I know it’s a dumb thing to get pressed over I know. Yet here I am.

#as with every other thing #I haven't properly sat down to work on consent #it's been worked into a lot of maintenance things but isn't followed strictly bc stuff needs to happen one way or another #I am very happy with how much of her grooming is restraint free #she hates baths but will still jump in the tub #she's wiggly for the dryer but it's because she presses herself up against the nozzle #our only real issue is nail trims #she gets scooped for those and I don't blame her #she's pretty good for teeth brushing too #anyways this is a fun behaviour because she has now pawed for continued pets #where as she used to only paw when she wanted to be under a blanket #turnpike #gifset #I love little pointless posts about my little dog <3 #cooperative care

I took Light to agility last night to watch and learn to chill out in a crate! She was a little worried at first but settled in well. Afterward she let some new people go over her and look at her teeth! Including a big dude with a beard and hat. A very good and brave baby!

not to keep vagueposting about animal welfare discourse, but i happened to run into one of the blogs that was shitting on scout for their cow husbandry and the shit they were saying was so fucking stupid...it was something along the lines of 'rabbits aren't social animals because their wild ancestors have a social group set entirely by mating/the HRS tries to force you to bond rabbits unnecessarily and is a peta-affiliated organization/its unnecessary to spay female rabbits because the 85% association between uterine cancer and not spaying is only supported by two studies', all of which may make sense for breeding rabbits is complete and utter bullshit when dealing with pet rabbits.

Rabbits are indeed social animals that grow anxious when alone and should have SOME form of companionship most hours of the day. This does not have to be another rabbit, and the urging to establish a bonded pair is typically done for people who are OUT OF THE HOUSE most of the day. HRS and shelters don't 'force' pairings, they encourage them because having someone around 24/7 isnt always viable in American households. When I tried to get Celeste bonded because I was worried about her welfare (this was when I was 14 and new to rabbits), both the HRS and shelters talked us out of it because she very clearly did not care about other buns, and didn't need to be bonded because there was always someone around them. But if you're a singular person who's away from home most of the time, then yes you need some sort of partner animal because it reduces stress in your rabbit.

Those social structures are ofc going to be different if you have unfixed breeding animals, but the core aspect of it is still the same. Rabbits are social animals. They are comforted by the presence of others around them, form bonds with other rabbits, and feel more secure in groups. Just because they are more territorial when unfixed (as they should!) doesn't reduce the fact that they are social prey animals, it just means that you need to keep them in different conditions than you would a fixed creature with less hormonal urges

The HRS is not aligned with PETA. They denounce affiliations with meat breeders because they're entirely based on improving the welfare of rabbits that are kept as pets. I can see why some might feel offended on their stance against meat rabbits, but rabbits are still primarily viewed as livestock, and after hearing enough comments about people wanting to eat my rabbit, I can understand why they'd be so clear on it. People are assholes about pets that are commonly viewed as feeder animals.

There is indeed a high risk associated between UNBRED unspayed female rabbits and uterine cancer. This is supported by several studies on animals with similar breeding lifestyles by multiple veterinary institutions. You won't notice it in your breeding females because the risk is SPECIFICALLY for unbred animals, aka most pets. So yes, spaying is necessary for your doe's health if you do not intend to regularly breed or have stopped regularly breeding

Even if there wasn't a very real danger to their health, you'd still need to get them fixed to reduce behavioral problems. Unfixed rabbits are much more territorial, destructive, and aggressive, making them more difficult to keep in a home environment. They will growl, they will lunge and bite (and rabbit bites are not something you want to fuck with- I have scars from Celeste's nips), they will piss and shit to mark their territory and it WILL be pungent and unsanitary even if they are litterbox trained. They can still be cuddly with you, sure, that won't reduce their value as pets, but a perpetually sexually frustrated and territorial animal is not fun to deal with and is arguably unethical for the rabbit. If you want a pet rabbit, you need to get them spayed. And I say this from personal experience- Celeste wasn't spayed when we got her, but after she did get spayed, she became much more manageable and less likely to bite. She was still manageable beforehand, but afterwards she was a hell of a lot more relaxed and not stressed

There's nothing wrong with having significantly different husbandry because you are a meat/fur breeder; unfixed animals have different temperaments, different needs, and are typically kept in different conditions that are more economically and behaviorally suited to turning a profit. But those care requirements change drastically when you have only one to two fixed animals in a home environment, which means that you cannot pass judgement on pet care requirements when you're a meat breeder, and visa versa.

#lets also not forget that this whole discourse started bc someone said that culling goat kids at birth based on sex felt wrong #and some meat breeder took it as a personal attack even though rabbits and goats are DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT ANIMALS #yes hard culling rabbit kits is necessary. but its also not a massive fucking waste when they have huge litters #if you're breeding an animal for meat and they only have one or two at a time over a span of some months then its a MASSIVE WASTE #but anyways this is about rabbits and yeah. im bitter bc i miss celeste and the holier-than-thou attitude got to me #i dont have problems with how they keep their rabbits but i do have problems with them applying farming rules to domestic pets #if you have multiple unfixed rabbits in an outside hutch then yes you need to keep them seperate to prevent breeding and stress #but they're still fine because *they know other rabbits are there* #they can see smell and hear them #if you have ONE rabbit in a home environment it NEEDS companionship bc its alone #if its unfixed then no it cant be another rabbit but it can be you. if its fixed then thats when another bun is an option #and yes they are intensely social and rabbits that do accept a partner benefit massively from it have you even seen bonded pairs #they groom each other and flop together and spend all their time with each other its def. a mutually beneficial pairing #celeste just didnt need it bc there was always someone home with us so she saw other rabbits as a threat #but if that wasnt the case then it would have been different #they arent dogs or cats!! you cant treat them as such!! #and for the record the husbandry needs of unfixed vs fixed animals is a Thing for all other pet species #or at least most of the

Tuvok’s Children

#[REDACTED] family shenanigans #yeah I switched the birth order around so Asil's the third born instead of the last #Also her marriage status is 'complicated' because she's currently contractually married to a ferengi woman and there's drama as to whether #it's real or not (she got contract-married to her over the course of a case) #All of Tuvok's children care deeply about each other and get along well for the most part v_v #they have a bunch of different idealogies and opinions etc but they all respect each other a great deal #Sek #Elieth #Asil #Varith #an inside joke between them is how humans typically only pronounce Sek's name right on the first try 'If their tongue doesn't slip' #Sek is really making up for all his siblings in the 'give me grandchildren' arena #Elieth met Ione Kitain while working and the two of them hit it off right away but they were both engaged #One day he caught word that she was going to get married and he immediately flew to Betazed and went to see her. One conversation later and #they were engaged instead v_v (his family found it DEEPLY embarrassing - everyone else who hears it finds it terribly romantic. #Except the spurned groom of course~) Elieth's betrothed dissolved their bond without fanfare since she kind of didn't want to marry him #uhh Varith has one of Mollie's puppies (grown now) which Mark gave him and she acts as sort of a service dog ! #And Sek took care of their mother when she fell into a depression for a period of time after Voyager was lost #Also - I personally wanna know how they all reacted to that holonovel the doctor wrote about Voyager #hhehee like they meet him in person and Sek's like 'Ah. The Hologram who slandered our father.' #bea art tag #st voyager #st voyager art #star trek #Everyone should have their own little Tuvok family in their minds...!! Each one is precious and good~!! #OH ALSO #Sek is the oldest but shorter than all everyone but Varith (and T'Pel)

Blah blah blah bros and media joking that women are closet necrophiles for wanting to fuck The Ghoul when he is like the least zombie looking fucker out there.

Like ~*~oh no he's missing a nose and has burn scars~*~ like there aren't actual living people with similar or worse injuries out there.

#like he is barely even ghoulfucker territory let alone monster fucker #it feels kind of gross to me? like it almost implies regular people with facial disfigurements should be disregarded as plausible partners #oh no~ scars how grosssss #if you're going to dog on the female fandom's reactions to him at least focus on how the mass fetishizing of the age gap #I'm sorry grooming is not a kink
