Every day a thousand ducks are released into a South African vineyard to gorge themselves on delicious snails and bugs. They basically walk upright like penguins to fit between the vines :3

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it

However, the high costs of keeping the birds are a downside.

On a similar sized farm, growers could spend about 50,000 rand ($3,200) a season for pesticides, compared with 30,000 for just a month on ducks, which are kept in protective pens and are fed grain to augment their snail diet, said Jacobs.

Well poo poo dude, just pile them all into a truck and cart them around to other vineyards on different days. The ducks eat for free, and you can charge them a premium over their usual pesticide budgets because it's organic. Hell, you could probably focus on that and make double what the winery brings in a year.

Actually, gently caress you, I'm going to do this myself. Don't steal my idea.

One of my favorite things about dogs is how casually they'll get close to a thing on their own terms, but if that things gets close back, they're done.:3: Like, you just licked that capybara on its snout. Shying away from it now is kinds rude.

My parents have a shih-tzu; she makes that same noise when she's happy. Sometimes she does it with a toy in her mouth, so it sounds like "R-RRR-RRR-RRRRRR." It's the best sound. :)

I had a cat when I was a teenager who would do exactly that. Then would flop on his back between my keyboard and the monitor and snooze with his belly up :3: I wish I'd thought to take a picture of it while we had him. It was exactly as infuriatingly adorable and adorably infuriating as it looks.

Neighbour kid stealing hugs from dog

http://www.today.com/pets/world-s-cutest-trespasser-caught-camera-hugging-dog-neighbor-s-t97291

quote:

Mallet posted the video on Facebook, asking her neighbors, "Anyone know who this sweet little boy is? Every now and then when he rides his bike he will quickly come and love on my dog or play fetch real quick, but always leaves quick like he doesn't know if he should be here!

"I'd like to tell him he's welcome to stay and play, she loves the attention!" she wrote.

A mom from the neighborhood, Ginger Breaux, quickly recognized that the pint-sized trespasser was her son, Josh.

"Josh talks about your dog all the time!" she replied on Facebook to Mallet's post. "Every time we pass he looks to see if she was sitting where he could see her. Just didn't know he was doing things like this.

"Last night when I first saw it, I was torn as a momma being happy and upset because he knows he shouldn't be on someone's property, but I wake up this morning more happy that he just absolutely adores dogs so much."

Josh later stopped by a day later for a selfie with his favorite dog, this time caught on his own camera instead of a surveillance one.

The boy is now allowed to visit Dutchess for some hugs or a game of fetch any time.

quote:

The Breaux do not own a dog. Theirs recently died, and they have yet to replace her.

“We had our dog Bella since Josh was 2, but she passed away last year,” his mother explained in another post. “Things have been busy and Josh is active with after school activities so we have not jumped back into taking on the responsibility of starting all over again with a new pup quite yet. It will happen though!”

Mallet is thrilled her beloved black Labrador, Dutchess, has been able to fill that void for Josh.
