Obviously there's a tonne of room for spontaneity but yeah for a while I'm planning out the weeks and being spontaneous with the short 3-5ish minute training sessions when he seems engaged and interested in treats.

For example today I woke up and I finally picked a name, so he's learnt that. He was quick about it too.

i got a really old small dog. he got castrated about 4 years ago and the vet left the scrotum there and just took the balls. today i noticed that scrotum is seemingly hanging on by a thread of skin and separating itself from his body. its not infected or rotting or anything, and he doesnt show any signs of pain. is this normal? should i be concerned?

sauropod necks are usually found contorted into positions that you say they couldn't achieve in life
Because they're dead, duh. Many humans were found in positions that were impossible to get alive.

The Morrison Formation was almost entirely savannah, and it's reasonable to assume the many sauropods there were grazing on it at ground leve
Savannahs host tall trees that could be plucked. If there werent, giraffes wouldn't roam the Serengeti.
>
the posture of the head is assumed based on the range of motion of that atlas/atlantal intercentrum joints combined with the angle of the semicircular canals, which only indicates the NORMAL posture,
NOT the range of possible postures.
Pure speculation, that doesn't consider the musculature and vascular system which in sauropods was so huge many theorized they had secondary hearts in the neck.

Nope, they just had to be different.
I wonder if there is ever a precedent for them eventually turning those ribs into a 3rd set of limbs. They already have rudimentary articulation, maybe theyd develop joints in order to fold up their wings of they got larger.
Then we may finally have actual dragons.

Humans are natural domesticators and confirming that an animal is docile via eliciting a comfort response from them is a check to see if they are safe to be around.

But if it's a girl either sex doesn't mind as much.

Humans are infinitely more likely to give you a deadly disease and the males have a murder rate several thousand percent higher than pitbulls.

You are objectively safer in a cage with a wolf than you are in a room with a randomly selected adult human male from any point on the globe for health and safety reasons.

Humans, like most primates, have the instinct to find comfort and safety in the fur/hair of their caretakers (usually mothers), and also the instinct to groom as a means of founding or reinforcing social bonds. The problem is, humans lost most of their body hair relatively recently in evolutionary history. So there's two related major instincts that humans, on their own, struggle to fill. The solution? Domesticate another mammal to fill that void. This is why plushes are popular with children and why we like to pet furred creatures.

animals that live in groups groom and preen eachother a lot, even other species sometimes

Underwatering your plants means the top layer of soil won't get as moist which will help reduce fungus gnats. Your all or nothing scorched earth approach is stupid.
