Any do bonsai in /an/?

I've been doing bonsai for several years, learning all the ways to neglect and kill the things apparently.

PROTIP: don't use JB weld as a substitute for Japanese cut paste. It'll kill the entire tree.

Anyway, its been a few years since I planted a variegated Japanese willow on top of a large stone I got on a trip to the mountains. Today, I transplanted it into a temp container to start more intensive training. It had been let go wild pretty much without top training. Once there's light tomorrow, I'll try to remember to provide a pic.

dear /an/,

please name me. i was adopted today from a nearby animal shelter. i'm a girl, 3 months old, gray and white, have big ears and long skinny legs that help me run really fast when i'm making my humans chase me, and a long skinny tail that crooks at the end.

my humans say i'm really clingy, cuz i heard them talking about how i was found by a dumpster all skin and bones, but the people at the shelter took really good care of me and my new humans love me.

i can has name plz?

I have been thinking. How much would it cost to eat a swan?

Assuming you pay all the expenses to acquire one and any fine you would have to pay if caught.

if Cesar Millan was a super villain and use his dog controlling power against humanity
How could we defense ourselves?

Sup /an/

Have You heard about Manul?

Fellow /an/ons, I've been wondering about something...

I haven't own my very own dog yet. I've grown up with a family dog, but that's as close as I've ever been. I'm currently in college and cannot afford a dog, but I've been planning, doing the necessary research and so on to get ready when the day comes.

I've had the "adopt, don't shop" mentality for a while now, but recently, I've begun to question it. I am well-aware of that thousands of pedigree dogs are loaded with genetic faults and that serious breeders are hard to find. I am also aware of that backyard breeders and puppy mills are completely out of question, but something hit me: Shelters are filled up with all kinds of dogs, INCLUDING the ones that have been bred by backyard breeders and puppy mills.

This concern has pressured me to look for serious breeders instead, but it still gnaws at me to look for a pup while those in shelters are in need of a home. Honestly, I just want a friendly, healthy pet, most preferably one that I can be somewhat active with, like in dogsports. If I'm sure that I can get one from a serious breeder, is it worth the gamble to get a shelter dog?

I'm not trying to start a war here, so please spare me your moralfagging, I just want the facts. I'd also like to hear your experiences: Do you own a pedigree dog? A shelter dog? Maybe both? How is their health?

has /an/ ever been skunked?

recently, we have been noticing a skunk near by. we can smell him. we suspect he is going to our neighbors house (they leave cat food out). if our dog manages to get skunked, what do?

Today is International Save the Frogs Day. Sooo this is now a frog thread =].
