    my college roommate had a ferret. he kept it in his closet.

    ferrets are nocturnal, so when we went to sleep he'd turn a light on in his closet and shut the door.

    during the day he'd mostly neglect it. ferrets are naturally smelly creatures and this one struck me as especially smelly. it shat literally everywhere - its cage was just choked with ferret shit and he'd let it out of its cage and it would hide shits everywhere in the room. it would open and creep into drawers and shit in them. it would shit in shoes. if you left clothes on the floor it would shit on your clothes. it would shit on your pillow. it would shit under your pillow.

    and ferret shit aren't cute little pellets like rabbits or gerbils or even rats. ferrets are related to bears and badgers and they produce big squirty poos that form piles not really unlike little diarrhea muffins.

    i have no idea what happened to that ferret. at some point my roommate no longer had a ferret. it was named nimh.

    See.

    Dis is the stuff I'm talking about.

    These are things to work on breeding out.

    The rat also helped me get 2nd place in a science fair once.

    That was the peak for science for me. Now I impede and deny it wherever possible, thank you very much.

    weird. watched a thing about film on netflix, showed me a bunch of movies I wanted to watch/rewatch but for whatever the reason, the one I got for myself was Gerry.

    earlier today I decided to look at a list of a certain genre of movies. I read a few full lists, agreed and disagreed, found a bunch of movies I wanted to watch or rewatch. whatever the reason, the one I got was Drugstore Cowboys

    only realized now, same director.

    HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    Ferrets can make good pets if they're well cared for and socialized and so on.

    If they're treated like a guinea pig they're a fucking nightmare.

    A lot of ferrets problems come from their owners being shitty.

    Hyenas give birth through a psuedo-penis

    they are proof that the baby Jesus is a horrifying and malevolent creator

    You mean clitoris?

    That's only one species, I think.

    But yes it's horrifying and like 15% die the first time they attempt childbirth.

    Will how is your dog, the one named after your favourite anime

    i'm glad you asked. naruto has recovered from his surgery and is doing much better. we took him to visit my brother's house over thanksgiving and the very first thing my brother's dog did was bite him right on his eye wound. i was raging bro inside but had to play it cool because i was the one who convinced my brother and sister-in-law to let me bring my dogs.

    finley pooped all over their house though so i reckon we're even.

    The amount of neglect people show to the animals they own is appalling

    I firmly believe that most people shouldn't have dogs or really anything that requires a modicum of intelligence, attention, and care

    It breaks my heart every time I see someone with an unhappy dog that they don't know how to control and in the end they just throw it away

    Upon seeing the ferret, the father "just grabbed it and threw it," Ambrose said. "It hit a dishwasher or cabinet or something like that."
    In the wake of the most recent incident, ferret activists and rescuers from around the country have called Ambrose about the pet.
    "We've had them calling from all sorts of states asking about the ferret," Ambrose said. "Well, I guess if you collect dead ferrets, you can have one."

    and I'm thinking like oh hm somebody died. Not a grandparent, no, maybe an uncle? A cousin? Actually it could be her cat.

    my fish died she says

    and tears up


    I can't have been as good at hiding my incredulous expression as I thought since the girl I knew gave me a look

    she was sad because a fish dying means that your inattention and carelessness has killed a thing that was your responsibility to keep alive.

    Which gives them a bad name, and makes ignorant people think that's how you are supposed to care for the critters.

    Which is why you have to account for the general publics ignorance of how to take care of the animal during the domestication process.

    Like with dogs, we bred out behaviors that weren't compatible with our lifestyles, and retained useful behaviors.

    Yeah but I just

    could not relate

    worst case is that it was a kind of expensive fish and I would be as bummed about it dying as I would about dropping a whisky glass

    we had fish at home

    or, my sister wanted fish, so we got a small aquarium in the corner of the livingroom

    I used to play a game where I'd guess aloud how many would be alive today every morning

    the number varied wildly

    they'd have babies

    then they would eat some of the babies

    then the baby-eaters would sometimes die

    etc

    Both. It's more like HIV, where it's preventable but you can still get it from a toilet seat.

    part of the problem is that there are so many abandoned dogs that are going to get euthanized that it's worth it to play even a low-odds game.

    i miss tumbles big time. it's in the thirties- if she were still around, this is the beginning of the season where she'd be sleeping in my bed every night, getting under the blanket and burrowing her nuzzle into my neck so we coudl share a pillow. that dog cuddled in a seriously human way, where if you walked in you'd think i posed her for a picture.

    miss dis bish.

    and my aunt did this without warning me
