I've raised a dozen puppies over the years, and never really had any serious problems (well except one Cocker Spaniel that I believe was mental, but that's a story for another day).

As long as you go into it knowing what to expect and how to avoid it, it's no big deal, and really much easier than potty training an infant.

On the other side, I will say adopting an adult dog is typically much easier having done both.

Lol I forgot how funny the comment section for YouTube videos on our cars can be. I stumbled across some jackass bragging about going 140mph on a public road and that he's alpha.

Well... that's what spurred this particular idiot to go off about how he's "faster than" the OP and "alpha". The OP said something about them being dangerous and they just bragged about being faster lol.

Little did the alpha know that he just accidentally hit the kmh/mph button on the dash and was only going 87 mph.

On the topic of puppy training, my brother recently got a husky/mastiff mix and he's in that teething phase. The issue is that since he's half mastiff, he's huge. I don't normally give dog training advice as I know nothing about it, but in this case I suggested that they dye the dog's fur red and change his name to Clifford.



Forgive the crappy pic, it looked fine on my iPotato. This is a 14 week old puppy.

i'm not arguing that i'm not interested, just the #algorithm at work recommending the same things to the same types of people.

My browser deletes everything on exit so that the next time I open up YouTube I get the default suggestions. *shrugs*

Today I "learned" on the internet that an engine's cooling system NEEDS glycol to function, otherwise it will overheat. Guess I have been overheating engines for 20+ years and had no idea.

I went through a phase of wanting a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. Very long lived, quite intelligent.

I was working at my father's papershop and a semi-regular customer would park his pushbike out the front and leave his Sulphur Crested on the handlebars. This day the customer was engrossed in a magazine and the bird didn't know what was going on. I saw the parrot acrobat his/her way down off the handle bars, stroll across the footpath and come into the shop looking for its owner. People were going wtf. The owner saw his bird on the ground, picked it up and place it own his shoulder and continued reading. It was soo cool.
Thing is they, Sulpher Cresteds, require a lot of care. They can get bored and their screech is f*cking annoying and loud and I wouldn't know what to do with one if one goes on holidays.
We have had about fifty in the backyard on one occasion though usually just 5-10 is common at the right time of year. They know to visit because I put out feed for them.

My next door neighbour has one of those.
They also have a very autistic daughter.
The girl gets screaming.
The bird gets screaming.
Sounds like a horror movie over there sometimes.

I would say a lot of that has to do with companies marketing their 50/50 premixes as "coolant."

On a side note, my Koyorad's instructions say to not run straight water or it would void the warranty.
