When I was a kid, my family had a black cat that would hang out with he skunks as friends. He massacred rabbits but the skunks were his bros, they would always patrol the perimeter of the yard together.

I seen a skunk last night do this thing he like scraped at the ground really fast like he was a cartoon character trying to run on slippery ground, then jumped at another skunk and tour out a big piece of fur and it bled a bit. Didn't bite it from what I saw so maybe not rabid just fighting.
>>
>>4879113
Yeah they are like that in general, they don't like having other skunks around and do that scrapy thing in fights

So what caused the bloop? Do you think it could've been an animal?

I'm sorry, anon. It's hard to be a caretaker for someone who's terminal. My old dog lived for two years after being diagnosed terminal with heart failure. And yeah, he deteriorated very well quickly at the end. About 21 months of a very gradual decline, then 3 rapidly.

You probably don't want advice, but I'll give it anyway. Take as many pics and videos as you can now. Do casts/prints of her nose and paws if that's important. Spoil her as much as you can. Let yourself cry even if you think it's dumb or girly - what's more noble than to shed tears over a great friend?
It will suck really bad. The journey there and her passing. It will hurt greatly and you just have to deal with it until time builds up a callus. Keep a journal and write how you feel, talk to her through it, write down all your memories of her and all her little traits so you never worry about forgetting.

It's a hard road. I'll save her pic so I remember her, too.
>>
>>4876608
Sorry that you both have to go through this. Your dog looks great and happy.

Could these things survive in the wilderness anywhere in the US? I'm based in East Tennessee. If I were to release a bunch of these little guys into the woods, could they survive and reproduce? What about European ones?

We don't, although I think hedgehogs specifically are legal. It's illegal to own 99% of native wildlife iirc and you need a special permit for a lot.

What an absolutely chaotic idea, I love it

Why aren't horses ever portrayed in the media as the man's best friend? They're almost always present in medieval/old-themed stories, but they're almost always treated as nothing more than transport vehicles.

Do you know how to read?
Horse was mainly seemed as a tool in the west and it was not as relevant and the center of the culture as it were for the Mongols.
You either don't know what is to have a culture centered or something or you are straight up stupid. Even with all there usage and even in war horses didnt got fame or the glamour that eve n nom European animals, like lions, got in the west culture.

Because narratively, like dogs in stories, a horse being the best friend means it probably dies horribly.

Mom just called and said she let her sick cat out and it hasn't shown for 3 days. Any hope it can come back? How much longer should she wait? She is very upset because when she brought it to the vet they told her it was arthritis but also really low white blood count(according to the vet this was an anomaly whatever that means)

And no I don't know why she let it outside
