To be honest, if you have that many animals and live alone, there's no real way to attend to all of them

Yeah I'd prefer a big dog

@pierce Ideal protector and friend

Big dogs are great for patting and hugging

Yeah that's the thing about an animal being a utility or a hobby

Not some weird dependant affection slave

The coat is so healthy it almost looks... 'fake'

Maybe the eyes too

At first I wasn't even sure it was a real dog before opening the image

She sheds shedding so much right now, I spent almost an hour brushing her fur

Winter

Good thing she loves being brushed

Yes

When I had that golden retriever.... I loved that dog but it was like a mobile killing machine

At one point, it seemed like it was on its way to eradicating the entire marmot population

Or whatever they are

Not really marmots, but look similar

What the fuck is a marmot

It would chase down and kill anything that moved, hares, anything it could get to

Actual marmots are um... they're underground mammals

Oh wait nvm I’ve seen those things before on tv

These weren't even actual marmots, just reminded me of them

Lots of them in the Alps, think actual marmots are mostly mountainous

i love marmots

they make the funniest noise

Some dogs are just bent on chasing down and killing everything in sight

I've never even seen a real marmot in real life

Have a folder full of them

wat

you have a marmot folder

My animal folder consists of:

And cats

5/5

Yeah I have a small marmot folder

god my pictures folder is a mess

And a penchant for calling beavers marmots <:brainlet:619749634562326538>

some people have memes locked and loaded it takes me an hour to sift through my stuff

It's just like when a pet becomes a favorite toy or a replacement for like

A child or something
