To Dog or Not to Dog

Started out as a dog blog, became a fish/animal welfare blog and I don't even know anymore. Personal blog maybe?

woah ok so it’s been more than 2 years and basially i was thinking abt the blog and then i was like “man i should probably say that i’m not dead” so uh yeah little life update:

i’m not dead

i just sorta outgrew this blog? i was on it when i was like 13-14 and it was good then but right now while i’m still into fish and dog training, i’m not as much and i don’t talk about it quite as much as cartoons (i have another blog for that). 

i’m 16 now though so that’s cool i guess.

i’ve gotten way better at art! i’m still not great but i improved a ton.  here’s a bit of what i’m doing now.

as for the animals: zoom is 16 now and he is still doing pretty good! he is half blind and deaf now but overall he’s still good. licorice is 7 now which is wild but she isn’t showing her age more than a little graying around her muzzle. tony got jaw cancer but we didn’t realize it until it was very advanced and he passed away in october. i don’t have any of the fish any more, but i do have a lovely little female betta i got a few weeks ago. her name is albedo.

yeah! that’s about all i can think of rn.

I know you're against caesar millans methods and i see why, but is there anything about his methods you like? Also when he manages to "rehabilitate" these dogs, are they acctually not in yours and other dog trainers eyes?

The one thing I like about cesar millan is that he brought dog training to the public eye. He did tell people that they didn’t have to live with their behavior issues. But his methods I disagree with 100%

Rarely is a dog on the show actually “rehabilitated”. Usually the dog just learned to stuff the behavior down because they’ll get punished otherwise. The dogs don’t have a better relationship with whatever triggers their issues.

Or at least, that’s how I see it.

I’m posting this everywhere, but I can’t stop laughing at it. Riven’s third birthday. She’s such a drama queen. (No dogs were harmed in the making of this video. She actually likes the slide.)

I didn't really know when to post about this.

In case you were wondering why I haven't posted about Windsock since I got him, I have some sad news. He passed away only days after I got him. The reason I neglected to tell about this is because it was 100% my fault. I tested the water after we found him dead and found that I had a nitrite level of 5 ppm or more! I felt terrible because I didn't cycle the tank. This was roughly 2 weeks ago.

The tank is now cycled (10 ppm nitrates, 0 ppm nitrites). I may be getting a new betta soon, but I feel like that would be really disrespectful. I will check my lfs today, hopefully and maybe they will have a betta that I fall in love with.

Elastics. Maybe hair ties but we mostly call them elastics.

Maybe elastics and hair ties is a Canadian thing?

I call them hair ties! :) Elastics to me are those little plastic-y ones. Also Canadian. :)

Hair bands, hair ties, or hair thingies.
