If that's the case, my avatar is a picture of Shizuku, a character from the Studio Ghibli film Whisper of the Heart. I had my PDN as her name for a while, and the image just sort of stayed. I don't really look like it though, so I'm kinda baffled as to why you think I might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Missy was a shelter puppy when we got her from the SPCA. She's a labrador terrier, and definitely the sweetest and smartest dog I have ever known. Not only does she learn something astonishingly quickly, she has us trained very well too. She understands just about everything we tell her, and she has taught us some of her language as well. She has different barks, howls, and whines for different things, and several non-vocal words as well. Ask her what she wants and she will say "That" by pointing with her nose. Â In some ways, dogs have a great deal to teach us humans. They are always honest, they rarely hold grudges living only in the moment, give them a little love and they will return it 100 times over. And frankly I think dogs are beautiful. Â And yes, those are Texas bluebonnets. Very astute, Turtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Doctor Albert Halfmann Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Missy does indeed sound amazingly intelligent. I didn't use to care much for dogs, but in my more recent interactions with them I have found the interactions to be a lot of fun. I can't say I find all dogs beautiful, but most are at least somewhat appealing. Apart from perhaps the hyena, I can't think of many mammals that aren't beautiful in some respect.

Mice less so. Ah, the mole rat. I admit that it's quite difficult to find beauty in the critter. I do admire its powerful buck teeth, but that's about it. I find all other rodents quite cute, though, including mice and rats. Elephant shrews are likely the cutest rodent of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm not certain from that picture if the dog was abused, or is just an exceptionally old one. The breed appears to of the Xoloitzcuintli, or Mexican Hairless. If that is the case, I would understand its ill disposition toward cameras, especially if it is just an older dog. Chihuahuas, which are closely related, have a bit of an inferiority complex, which they try to hide behind an aggressive front. But they are very loyal and affectionate to their owners. Â And as a dog gets older, they do tend to get a bit grumpy. I resemble that remark myself, and I'm only a half-century old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Doctor Albert Halfmann Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Ah, a bit of research has yielded the mystery canine's identity: Sam, the Ugliest Dog Ever . Â Apparently he is a purebred hairless Chinese Crested. His current owners adopted him from a shelter, and while his temperament was poor at first, he was successfully re-socialized to some extent. He was champion of the World's Ugliest Dog contest from 2003 to his death in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Doctor Albert Halfmann Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yep, wolves and all big cats (and smaller cats, for that matter) are all quite beautiful and elegantly formed. Â Dikiyoba, I admit that the hyenas in that photo are kinda cute. But most every non-marsupial young mammal is adorable, and it is significant that the adult has its mouth closed. In photos where their mouths are open, hyenas invariably look quite feral and unappealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that the ranchers that irresponsibly want to deplete recovered wolf populations over concerns about loss of livestock should just invest in stronger, higher fences and leave wildlife alone. Wolves should be allowed to re-establish their natural relationship with deer and other prey animals, leaving the way clear for an eventual ban on hunting. I've always been an advocate of animal rights, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Originally Posted By: Pseudorandomizer Related: How do people here feel about wolf hunting? IMHO, as long as they aren't interfering with us they're okay, but as soon as they interfere with people's livelihoods... That's tricky. You've got to be careful that you don't kill so many wolves that you upset the ecological balance and cause a population explosion in something that the wolves prey on, like deer- who might then consume all the food for the ranchers and cause more damage than the wolves, etc.. However, that shouldn't even be a problem, because it's probably way easier in the long run to simply keep the wolves away with fences and technology rather than take the time to hunt them down and kill them. And, of course, there's no skill in mowing down animals with machine guns, and I detest people who do so and call it sport. Rifles, on the other hand...
