Well, they certainly aren't born knowing how to behave. It does take work to teach them, though, admittedly, some are easier than others and Stella is an easy one. She wants to work with and for you and make you happy. That makes her happy.
Trust me, I do too! It's not entirely generational, though I know what you mean. It takes me reading/hearing something three or four times to commit it to memory (maybe more). If it isn't your strength, then it's hard to learn. For me, I have the eye to see a good picture, but making it actually happen is a lot harder. Covid can be really scary when you're high risk. We did worry about my mom for a while, but with her having all the vaccines and the new strains of Covid being less severe, she feels more comfortable. I do think shopping in-store is best, but I guess it could be something to do while avoiding people too.
Definitely too often. It's so sad. Brindy is on meds now too, to keep her calm during her heartworm treatment. I hate it though because she's so sedate and a bit out of it. I know it's necessary for her health, but I hate seeing her like that. She's usually so spunky and playful. Still carries her toy on walks though. I gave her a bunch because pretty much all she had were hard chew toys, but she prefers plushies and squeaky toys.
Tell them to send her to me! No, I can't have anymore, but that is very sad and very common, unfortunately. We've had a number of puppies brought back just because the people weren't able to deal with a puppy. So frustrating.
Well, it's more a matter of inventing a lot of things. And we already have a lot of what we need to do so. It's not so much a matter of being able to as much as being willing to. The biggest issue is big companies just want money and most people just want the cheapest, most convenient stuff. And even if we stopped emitted greenhouse gases right now, it would still take thousands of years for the temperature to reverse.
I have once. A big, fat one. It weirded me out as well as I thought they were nocturnal, but they do what they have to. They're very adaptable animals. One of the oldest land animals living today and for good reason. The squirrels have been pretty efficient in my experience. Birds too. Our food never lasted long. If you don't put out much and if you keep it in a small area, it should be gone pretty quick. I can't make any promises on racoon because they are also adaptable animals, but again, I don't think the food would last long enough to attract them. Oh, good. Glad you've seen that squirrel. I understand on the coyotes and predators. Haha. I like that you like the opossums. Not many people do.
