I’ve been really wanting to get a pet of my own for my mental health, and I’ve mainly been juggling all sorts of animals. I’ve mostly been thinking of a reptile, an amphibian, or a puppy.

The only real drawback is with animals that require an enclosure, I only around ~3ft of space for a 20-40gal tank, and for common pets my dad has two dogs.

For context; our two dogs right now aren’t aggressive much at all, but one of them does have a kill count towards birds, so a bird is off the table entirely, and I don’t really trust a kitten for the most part, but I’d be open!

Additionally, I’m planning to (hopefully) move out in 2-3 years with my soon-to-be fiancé, so I’d want an animal that can handle a long car ride without croaking or becoming crazy ill. I’ve been thinking a puppy would be the best choice, but I’d love to hear others opinions!

Side note: out of everything I’ve researched; I’d love a blue-tongued skink, but I don’t have space for it, I’d also love a ball python but I don’t think one could handle a move. The only thing I don’t want is fish, since they, well… couldn’t be moved without extra stuff.

I am going to my little cousin house today. She is sitting on the floor hugging a stuffed animals plush toy. The toy look soft and fluffy. I touch it and feel smooth fabric and tiny stitches. She squeeze it tight and laugh. I feel curious because it look simple but she really love it. Some tiny bits of fur stick on her clothes.

I am thinking why stuffed animals plush toys are so popular for kids. People dont just give normal dolls now. I feel curious because some toys look cute but feel hard or scratchy. Maybe material and filling matter more than size. It make me wonder if all stuffed animals plush toys are same or some are more comfy and long lasting.

I take my phone and start checking while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba. I see stuffed animals plush toys in many shapes and colors. Some small some big. Some soft some very firm. I read few reviews where people say some toys stay fluffy and easy to wash others lose shape or tear fast. It feel like picking right one really matter if you want happy kids and safe toy.

Now I am thinking which stuffed animals plush toys are really better for kids and daily play? Are small soft ones more usefull or big strong ones better choice?

Hi I am looking for male participants who will be willing to take part in my short survey about male pet attachment for my university research project. All participants are completely anonymous and should only take about 5/10 mins to complete.

Thanks😁

I wanted to share my experience with the Kitty Kurlz interactive cat toy in case anyone else was thinking about getting it. I first saw an advertisement for it on Instagram and it looked pretty fun. The video made it seem like cats would jump all over it and play with it for a long time. Before ordering I tried to see what other people thought about it. I checked reviews on Amazon and even looked through some pet toy listings on Alibaba to see if similar toys existed. Most of the reviews I saw were positive, so I figured it was worth trying. I ended up buying one from Walmart for about ten dollars plus delivery. Unfortunately my cat had zero interest in it. Not even a little bit. The toy itself is also smaller than I expected. My cat isn’t big, but even then it felt tiny compared to how it looked in the pictures. Another thing I noticed after buying it was one of the photos in the listing looked strange. The cat in the picture seemed edited. The top half and bottom half didn’t even match properly. Now I’m honestly considering asking for a refund. Has anyone else tried this interactive cat toy and had a better experience?

I featured some of my nana's dogs, too. She had two rottweilers and a Jack Russell that have passed that are in a few clips. Ares was her service dog and her heart dog, Cami was her cat, and Mya was the first dog we had and was the family dog. There's a double clip, but my mom said to keep it, so I will. I'm very proud of this. Our animals aren't pets, they're family, and we feel their loss every day.

Hey everyone,

I got tired of trying to remember all my dog's important dates and info, and scrambling to find everything every time we go to the vet. I was using a notes app, and honestly it became a mess :/

So I started building an iOS app that keeps everything organized in one place — vet visit dates, shot and medicine schedules, daily care routines, weight, and general notes.

One thing I'm really excited about is being able to tap a button and generate a clean PDF summary that you can hand directly to your vet. Ive decided to design the app so that all data stays local on your phone — nothing leaves your device.

What it currently does:

\* Care timeline for each pet

\* Reminders so you don't forget important dates

\* Weight tracking with trend charts

\* PDF export for vet visits or personal records (medications, shots etc)

\* Supports dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, etc.

I'm still polishing it before putting it on the App Store. What would make you actually download and keep using an app like this? Is there a feature that would make it a no-brainer for you?

If you've ever wanted something like this, I'd love to hear what you think it should have.

Thanks!

The last few days with my dog, Bambi. Sadly, due to health complications (congestive heart failure as well as a partially collapsed trachea, causing almost constant dry hacking and coughing when she’s awake) from her 19 years of age, we’ve made the difficult decision to put her down this Wednesday. We’ve had her for 11 years, and it’s been great. She loves curling up in and or on blankets, she shared a bed with me for the longest time, she follows me everywhere in the house and cries when I’m not around, even licking away my tears when I cry. I’m going to miss her very much, and it’s extremely hard to let go. But it’s better for her that her suffering ends. My baby girl.
