The Cupcake Muskateers Tavern welcomes You

Can't argue with the Pug thing, but Pitties can be the biggest chonks of lap puppy. Like rotties and Dobies, it's all in how they're raised or treated.

In this case, this Pit has every right to hate people and be a real arsehat, but he's coming back around to be a real good boy for someone, will just have to be an only pet. His expression when he gets his favorite butt-skritches is hilarious.
His owner.... heh. [Sadly, a family member currently locked up awaiting trials on gun/drug/animal cruelty charges.] We were going to move into the next stage of trying to save her house from being condemned and sold at auction but were told in blatant terms to F you, F off, and F our help. So, once we get this last dog rehomed, we'll go hands off and watch a $400k house being sold for pennies to a flipper. Oh, well.

Meanwhile, just got word from the Humane Society that they can't help with the dog rehoming because he's animal-aggressive in certain cases. (you know, like starving for food and attention.) *facedesk* Haven't given up on him, but man the doors ya gotta knock down trying to get the right thing done.

/venting.

oh for sure, Pits can definitely be trained well.
more that they tend not to know their own strength which can be bad, whereas many other dogs are a bit more aware.
though i wonder if that's nature or nurture at work

So it appears to be that time of the year when a blue moon has occurred and I seek to once more indulge in a little DDO.
But... I also see that there's now a forced server merge thingy to contend with.. so.. where did everyone move to?

Got the last guy to a rescue! It was a 6-1/2 hour round trip this morning, but totally worth it. He was a very good boy for the trip, and immediately played well with 4 others puppers when the rescue guy introduced them. I'm thinking the animal aggression was just defending himself against the one other Pit he'd had a run-in with in the trashed house. I meant to grab a pic of him with the other dogs in a group, but ony got his butt as the guy was moving him into a stall to wait for vet check. Still, was an awesome day.


Two of the first dogs removed were a mother/daughter pair. They were in sad shape. Imagine the worst of the ASPCA adverts they show. Kinda like that. Then imagine one of them pregnant. (That's a mix of emotions that make you happy the person is in jail - even when it's family.)

One puppy was still alive and was born early yesterday morning. Got this pic today of happy mom and healthy pup.

Can still see her ribs in the background there, but she's so happy to be fed and clean.

I didn't get pics of the 3 kittens that were in a separate room. I almost failed my save vs the little white-socked black one. (We already have 4 cats.)

I had 8 cats at one point. Plus TNR the feral males at my old place. CATS RULE!

Dogs are great, but CATS RULE THE WORLD.

man i just like pets

 

[doomboy]

tried to do a Cyberpunk dress up for a halloween event.
i did the mantis blades, sandevistan, got a cool mask, one of the in game guns, and gloves.
the mantis blades, sandevistan and gun all 3d printed.

sandevistan just... did not work. i tried several public models, but they all just kind of bad. i've reached a point where i've decided to just design my own. so going to take a nap, then take a stab at it.

mantis blades were good but a bit floppy. need to look at how i can adjust the screws for better tension. good thing i did this now so i can have a better swing at Halloween proper i suppose.

also, the guitar i made is being displayed during a 4 day art event!

Good stuff, DB!

For what it's worth from this side of the big rock, proud of ya! The stuff above and everything else you've accomplished since ya showed up at our doorstep.

A week makes a heck of a difference. I started to add a comparison pic of mom's 'before' condition but couldn't bring myself to do that.

Looks like I might be back in the lead in the beard contest tho.

My eldest playing with filters, found one I actually like.

(Dang, it didn't look that big on Imgur.)

As a former lounge lizard (with journeymans' card) I can attest this to be true pretty much everywhere.

whats the new plat cap (if there is one) on the 64bit servers?
I've finally consolidated all my chars and packed them, but since i plan on merging my old servers into one im gonna go well over plat cap.
Also how long does it take from packing to getting the transfer show up? The guide i followed made it sound like it was almost instant - which it wasnt lol

Plat cap hasn't changed, I pulled plat out on multiple servers to make sure it didn't overflow, just to be safe.

When the 32 bit servers were still live, initially there were issues with delays but eventually the transfer portal showed as available almost immediately. Word is the 'ghost' servers have minimal resources assigned so I wouldn't be surprised if there was a delay.

 

[Issiana]

thats kinda sad cap hasn't been raised.
I always thought the cap was related to the 32bit servers. Oh well, not like i actually need all that plat anyway lol
