Me being approached by an even-larger guy at the gay club.

[–] timicin@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

stare straight ahead and barely acknowledge his existence? lol

Some of us are shy :(

[–] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Stare straight ahead? No. Stare gay ahead.

[–] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like someone has never been approached by a larger man at the gay club, how sad for you

[–] timicin@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

that's because i'm always the largest man at the gay club; and yes, it's sad. lol

I've had some time with both wolves and huskies and gotta say, I don't think that's an entirely full grown husky, but pretty dang close and that's a HUGE wolf compared to the ones I've seen Irl. I'm probably in lil wolf territory but that is large

It’s kind of broken my sense of scale. As it doesn’t make sense in a way.

Inside you are two wolves

Whoah how fucking big are wolves!
I’ve read that in the US lots of people nowdays have them as pets and that a lot of those end up getting put down because people just want a cool big dog and end up with a wild animal.

There's a guy with a few wolf dogs who frequents a dog park near me. They're great and beautiful animals, but according to him you have to dilute the wolf in them for multiple generations before they become safe to keep as pets. I guess training a wolf is technically possible but wolves and half-wolves just aren't domesticated animals and they can and will react unpredictably no matter how "well behaved" they seem on the surface - and that's with a professional working with them, now imagine the average dog owner!

Yeah, even part wolves can be very dicey. People really underestimate how much work tens of thousands of years of domestication are doing

Very. They're basically the size of (some) big cats, they're not just what we'd think of as large dogs. Like imagine the largest dog breeds and how huge those are: wolves are (or at least can be) bigger than that.

Like the wolf in that picture would probably come up past your waist at the shoulder.

Wolves are fucking cool. I wish they were still around. I hate deer, and ranchers, so to me it’s a no brainer

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

There was a report of how someone reintroduced wolves to a fucked up ecosystem and they fixed it quickly.

Dog is like: "Omfg, a giant"

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Who wouldn't be. Imagine if you just saw like a 12ft guy

Me controlling my opinion when a bunch of Jarheads are at the bar.

the strategy is to tie their shoelaces together first

For a while I lived with an older half wolf half husky who was going a bit blind and could be cranky, a middle aged full husky who was captain mischief and a little puppo husky who was and continued to be the most gentle dog ever. I caught that dude giving kisses to a squirrel. It was a cute combo

My doggies are friends with a young husky up the street. It's the highlight of his day when neighborhood dogs come by his house. Poor pup doesn't get taken for walks. Anyhow, one afternoon we're headed right towards his house and my dogs are yapping and jumping around and the crazy husky jumps through the front window. Most amazing thing I've seen a dog do.

Honestly one of the cooler photos of a wolf I've ever seen

[–] Cherufe@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I want to pet the wolf
