Today I’ve honestly felt rather despondent after hearing the news. I’m sad. I doubt she or anyone from the server even remember me.
I got the chance to speak and play with her years ago. I was nothing more than an acquaintance, if that, but it hurts to know she is no longer here.
This is incredibly hard to write, but last week, Illy passed away. She brought so much warmth and kindness into my life, even when she was ill.
Thank you for showing her love over the years, you gave her so much purpose and joy. Things won't feel the same without her.
@T_Marie60 I was wondering why this one was getting attention again hahaha
I wanna see how many different ways I can have Aika carry Zira. She has a “hold Zira once per episode” quota to hit
@StormingZee I’m not going to lie, I’d be greedy to hope for Kingdom Hearts and RWBY news in the same week. I am, however, entirely ready to party if we do get something substantial.
Hey everyone! Professional dog trainer and certified animal behaviourist here!
This is absolutely a very precious Great Dane puppy.
But let's talk about the thing everyone is confused about... His ears.
Ear cropping is a surgical procedure that involves cutting away the outer pieces of the ear (called the pinna) to remove the floppy bits. The remaining cartilage gets forced upwards using tape, bandages, and flat wood as support (similar to thick popcicle sticks). A process that is called "posting".
Ear cropping today is almost entirely done for aesthetic purposes, and there is absolutely no health benifits to doing it.
It had originated for breeds that were expected to face injury. Dogs used in dog fighting (which is now illegal) and less nerfarious things such as livestock guardian dogs.
Think of it like "No capes!" except the cape is two pieces of long floppy skin attached to the animal...
Do you know the breed Doberman Pinscher? The beautiful "Anubis" looking dogs? Well... What if I was to tell you they too are born with beautiful floppy ears!
Pitbulls and other bully breeds are all born with floppy ears. Dogo Argentino, Cane Corso, Mastiffs, and even Schnauzers are all dog breeds that are born with floppy ears but commonly get them cropped.
Ear cropping and tail docking are almost one in the same. There are MANY dog breeds that get their tails docked as well! HOWEVER tail docking has more reasons behind it than just dog fighting and aesthetics that humans place on animals. But that's a whole other topic...
I'm personally heavily against ear cropping, unless there's a medical reason that it had to be done in the first place, which is HIGHLY unlikely.
It doesn't help prevent ear infections. That's a myth.
Anyone who is comfortable doing, what is essentially, cosmetic surgery to their dog, while at the same time not being comfortable neutering their dog, shouldn't have a dog.
Ear cropping is slowly becoming outlawed in may vet practices. Please love your animals for how they are, and not how you want them to be perceived.
If you have any other questions about dog breeds or ear cropping, feel free to ask in the comments!
gooseworx is honestly a good litmus test for seeing wether people actually respect a trans womans identity or not because i’ve seen so many people be blatantly, Disgustingly transphobic towards her for some NOTHINGBURGER reasons
Nobody asked for a Pokémon x Kingdom Hearts crossover… until now. 🗝️⚡
Pikachu with a Keyblade. Ash as a Keyblade Master. Lucario rocking Goofy's shield. Psyduck as the most confused mage in any realm.
