Well we have an answer to Pip's mystery liver problems. She has a shunt that has a lot of parts and is inoperable. Right now she is doing well, so we are going to manage with diet change to STUPID expensive liver food and continuation of supportive meds. Prognosis is??? She could live forever with it or it could go sideways at some point and we just don't know. For now we get to keep doing everything we want.
Think of sweet girl tonight if you please.

sincerely, a pissed off pet store employee who is sick of explaining that cats scratch things and dogs chew things because it's a natural fucking behaviour

To those new to the therian community (& the otherkin/alterhuman community as a whole, honestly), if you're trying to figure out your kintype and you're struggling I have an insider secret for you.
Just pick one. Just pick a label that feels good enough and run with it. Nobody is gunna challenge you and ask you, well how do you KNOW? and if they do, they're a fuckin weirdo and you can tell em to fuck off. You don't need to be 100% sure. You can actually just do what you want, forever. Maybe you'll realize it isnt for you and move on. Maybe you won't. Fuck it

Royal Blue Mastiff: Breed Profile
After a few hundred years of breeding (and a small helping of gene splicing technology), the humans of the Royal Blue Mastiff's planet of origin created the perfect hunting compainion for those who sailed the perilous oceans.
Originally the dogs were to bred to track, catch, and harvest the many edible crustacean-like species found along the shores of the ocean. As the breed developed, hunters began to use them to catch larger game, including giant sea turtles.
In build it is comparable to earth Pinnepeds, with a muscular, torpedo shaped body and flat, paddle-like forelimbs that aid in swimming. Its long, flexible tail offers balance and acts as a rudder in the water.
Originally this breed lacked its characteristic quills, but due to the leviathan sized predators on their home planet, gene splicing was used to add them as a defense mechanism. Made from modified hairs, the quills are flexible and can be flattened against the body while swimming and hunting, and stiffened if threatened.
The RBM can hold its breath for an impressive 60 minutes, and has the strongest bite force of any of the AKC (Americadian Kennel Club) recognized dog breeds. Due to being bred to work almost exclusively in water, these dogs can reach lenths of over 20 feet and weigh over a tonne. Care must be taken to watch for deteriation of the joints in terrestrial or high gravity situations.
Royal Blue Mastiffs possess specialized teeth and claws for gripping, crushing, and prying open the shells of its prey. Their large eyes and long whiskers aid hunting in dark and deep waters, and their thick, water resistant fur helps keep them warm.
As the breed became more popular amoung hobbyists, a hairless variety was developed. While hairless RBM's are accepted in the AKC, it is not recommended to allow your Hairless RBM spend extended periods of time in extreme enviorments. The hairless variety also tends to be jowlier, and more prone to excessive drooling. They often need specialized skin care, such as sun screen or moisturizer, to keep them healthy. Poor dentition is also commonly linked to this gene. Speak to your veterinarian about your pet's individual needs.
Those interested in adding a RBM into their family should consider this breeds large size and drive. Early training is a must, as RBM are incredibly tenacious and can be difficult to control due to their size and energy level. Royal Blue Mastiffs were bred to swim for miles at a time in pursuit of quarry; you must have an outlit for your RBM's instincts. An understimulated RBM may become aggressive or destructive. Lots of excersize, training, and enrichment are reccomended.
Currently the breed only recognizes blue coat colors and their variations; "Red" Royal Blue Mastiffs were bred during early developement of the breed, but since have become a separate breed (due to push back from the breed club and fanciers), the "Royal Red Mastiff".

Don't you hate it when you have an assessment due in 4 hours you should be finishing but you end up writing a fucking 5 page essay on the corrupt nature of kennel clubs and fanciers in regards to maintaining and expanding on breed standards that actively put animals at risk of harm and promote poor breeding practices in terms of exaggerating features, encouraging dishonesty or ignorance from sellers, as well as the mass-breeding of animals for profit in mill/farm operations (which are tied to kennel clubs and fanciers in case you didn't know).

The Midwestern philosophy of dog-rearing:
1. If my dog has bad manners, no he doesn’t.
2. If he does, he’s friendly and didn’t mean it.
3. If I can’t stop the unwanted behaviors, it’s because I’m training him.
4. If bad manners escalate into chasing, snapping and growling, he’s just curious/scared/annoyed (which makes it OK).
5. If he bites, body-checks or otherwise tries to fight, you probably provoked him.
6. Oh my God, my dog bit my baby’s face off?! But he was always so sweet!! Who could have seen this coming?!?!?

I had a long, (I think) eloquent post about this but Tumblr ate it.
So here's the short version.
I can be of the opinion that certain kinds of dogs are poorly bred and shouldn't continue to be produced without hating the individual dogs themselves. Can they sometimes work out? Yes! Are they worthy of love and a good life? Absolutely! Can they accomplish amazing things? Hell yeah!
But do I think they should continue to be bred? No. Because dogs deserve quality of life and breeding unsound dogs, more often than not, produce puppies/dogs with behavioral/health issues and I feel that's a gamble too far into unfavorable odds to be fair to the dogs and the people who love them.
