Nothing makes me happier than Pupdates on my kiddos.

Aella (Purple Puppy) “Fabled Kennels Prints in the Snow” is doing great and learning to work hard to assist her momma, and enjoying barn hunt!

Relish (Green Puppy) has taken to dock diving like a fish to water! It’s amazing to see her mommas’ training pay off, and the natural talent bloom

Always share your puppy pics with your breeder! We miss those lovely babies so much ❤️❤️❤️

This we're talking about Prey Drive! Your dog’s Prey Drive is their natural desire to seek, chase, and catch prey animals, determined by inherited temperament traits.

When we think of prey drive, we often think of sighthounds chasing rabbits. But, prey drive can also look like a dog’s nose to the ground following a trail, or your dog barking after squirrels on walks. A dog with no prey drive won’t bother with squirrels, birds, rabbits, or other wild animals. Whereas a dog with a high prey drive may enter into a state of high arousal (barking, jumping, and pulling forward) when they catch a glimpse of a chipmunk.

Prey Drive can make walks and hikes a challenge, especially when training recalls and walking in areas with a lot of small critters. If you need help working through your dog’s prey drive, join our Patreon and jump into a study hall and/or ask away in the community group! www.patreon.com/superpupacademy

Wall of text [long pic] tl;dr: bodies can physically change based on the goals and actions of the humans inhabiting them 🩰

Also, trans rights are human rights ✅

Tumblr user grubloved:

if ur confused about why animal people advocate for keeping your pets at a "healthy weight" but sometimes also in the same breath will advocate against human diet culture, its because we know what body condition a cat is supposed to be at optimally. but literally there is not one for humans as far as we can tell.

humans are a weird, opportunistic, hyper-adaptable and variable primate and we have evolved to have a LOT of variety in size, shape, metabolism, and weight retention. this has been essential to survival in hard times and easy times. you know the thing people talk about sometimes how about half the population are night people and about half are morning people so we'd be better able to watch at night as a group? yeah, weight variation is like that: there's a lot of latent variation in human populations because as a community we survive significantly better if some of us are fu**in ready to not die during the longass winter of death and some of us can eat their weight in fish and then run a mile immediately after. this is also why some people gain muscle crazy fast and some people don't: muscle requires a lot of energy, so some people are built to gain a lot during a plentiful season and be really efficient then and some people are built to use less energy over time and be more useful during a long hungry period. cats and almost all other vertebrates simply don't have this kind of complex community variation built in, and tend to be much more uniform in build and weight. humans tend to be really variable in body and brain, and that's one of the biggest factors that's made us so successful! there are just a LOT of ways to be a human being.

all of the "science" on "ideal human body condition" we have at the moment is almost entirely bu****it and was done by white supremacists for eugenics purposes. it's just not something we know, and right now there's significantly more evidence that there is no ideal body type for everyone to reach. recent research indicates that humans are healthiest at a variety of weights and builds, and dieting is almost universally bad for you. even if the culture hasn't caught up yet.
