Why didn’t I think of this years ago??

Cowboy magic is phenomenal!! Sometimes its the only thing that saves me from having to shave a dog

I just happened to find it at the feed store when I was getting chicken scratch and it was only like $8 so I was like "why not" And it only took five minutes to brush out the dog's tails, and I can go a couple days without combing them now whereas without it I spent like 10 minutes a day combing them

My sketchbook cover I was never able to use sketchbooks before because I was afraid of "ruining" it with a crappy drawing, but by decorating it in this way somehow it makes that fear go away Also it's cute and makes me happy

Zoos prevent extinction. This is why I support zoos. This is why the world should support zoos.

Good zoos save species!!!

When I say I fully support zoos, this is why.

The only issue with that is look at the numbers. How extremely low population numbers got. It’s already been shown once the number of breeding animals drops below a critical threshold with cheetahs that recessive genes that result in mutations and infertility become more prevalent. Many cheetah are sterile or at least have troubles breeding because they dropped too low in population and there is not enough genetic diversity now, even with additional DNA from zoos, cheetah survival is very precarious and it may be too late for them. Quite a few of the animals here border on or cross the critical threshold where gene mutation and sterility become common and it’s not able to breed well or at all on its own.

I didn't know about that 🙁
