Thankfully, I’ve only ever had to dole out some periodic dewormers (the yearly “just in case” ones), and only when the vet couldn’t see us for that. It was an adventure every time, though!
Mum was a wiz at meat wrapping! I never understood what she did differently, but she was always one-and-done!
When I read “pill shooters” I imagined a sort of NERF gun:)) That would be hilarious!
But, yes, it’s been a struggle every time. I did find, however, that one of my cats presented significantly less resistance if I’d imbibe the pill with some ham or salami (I’d just rub it on the meat for a bit), then feed it to her immediately after I’d give her a bit of ham/salami to whet her appetite and get her nommin’ thoughtlessly. She’d chomp the pill, then I’d give her another bit of ham afterwards, to keep her chewing and swallowing. Then the crying started, because no more ham. Only worked with the one, though (she was THE gourmand, and love-hated me because I refused to give in and overfeed her).
“Yees, yees, good nom, veery good nom, boiled chicken, mmm! Ignore the pill I stuck inside it, just eat it, yees! No! Nonono, don’t spit it o-oh, god damn it…”
Oh, c’mooon plruley around with it a bit! Stick it whrulere it isn’t meant to be! Make rulet silly!
I used to be the opposite: “I’ll treat myself by not berating myself today and not denying basic pleasures.”
Oh, thoroughly agreed! Hot dogs are 90% impervious to messing them up as a dish, yet there we have The Horror!
Fair point, we eat smoked slabs of pig fat (not bacon, just a layer of fat with the skin still on it) over here, guess that doesn’t sound all that appealing either when showing/talking about it…
I sincerely apologise if my ignorance caused offence, and thank you for clarifying!
Plus it’s so much damned work for something I don’t respect! Folding that one flag is like having to fold half of my wardrobe, ffs!
But, like… are they supposed to look that unappetising?
Edit: I’m not trying to be insensitive to cultural differences (I’m Balkan, we have plenty of weird dishes), I just approach all food from this appeal factor, regardless of origin, and my only hang-up is that I cannot consume organs (brain included) - my body physically rejects any ingested organ. Yes, I peel my sausages (heh).
Jesus Christ, the meatballs look like something from Scorn… And that hot dog is just… no. Just fucking no.
Congratulations!
Probably just an engine glitch. Delayed spawning of the birb, which means we’re seeing the Z buffer when the birb model spawns. Happens all the time, nothing Major - push to Prod.
Wish I had an ostrich as a friend. I bet they’re fun friends for the most part.
Not me, post was empty when I got here!
I panicked, ok?!
No idea! If I were to guess, I’d say privacy reasons, leave no trace, but that’s speculation on my part.
A pity, though, that we live in times where conversations get downright deleted due to privacy concerns…
Edit: not blaming the deletion, blaming the times, to be clear.
“Ey, look! We gotta publish this book by the end of the week and the thermodynamics guy already wasted so much time that we’re behind schedule! Pretend those people were morons, alright?! Now, c’mon, get to writing, you’re on preface duty after that!”
Woo! Awesome move, thank you! And congrats for doing something real!
