Anthropomorphism, I love it.

[UTUSN]

Well, I love furry animals, all living things really, yet would prefer that the scaly and crawly ones would stay away from me. And I've had how many dogs in my life (nary a cat) and have honored their lifespan with me (sniff, luvya!1) and have gone through (it's always about me) putting a couple to sleep (euphemism here).

And I'll say this, that if I had to choose between the Big Hunt killer of Cecil and Cecil, I would choose Cecil in a flash and never look back.

Just saying, I know that if I croaked, my Chihuahua would nibble my toes to survive. That said, yeah, I hope the Cecil-killer pays some justice (and I'm not talking in the cash language).

As for Cecil's brother protecting the babies, well, fine, but when they grow up they will be doing it all (is there a song called, "the cycle of life" or something?).

1. Hopefully Cecil's brother is not evil like Uncle Scar (nt)

2. My dog is a major kisser so if I die in my sleep I know he will be feasting on me

unless someone finds me fast.

5. I'd be careful about saying that statement on the internet.

Just a word to the wise.

6. Ah, a mysterious word (I'm not wise). Come on, clue me in, I'm old & don't have forever!1 n/t

13. Don't say I didn't warn you

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom

If you're really that curious. There are websites larger than DU devoted to it. Also it can contain a darker NSFW side so I'd be cautious poking around it.

7. Haha. I'm imagining nibbling.

But I was thinking the same thing today. I mean who gets off on killing animals? If the guy had been killing squirrels it would still be the same thing to me. I would still keep my distance from that person. It's sadistic, and I see a trend in conservatives that includes it. The world is indeed both a beautiful place, and super nasty. But we were kind of trying to transcend the nasty parts. There will still be some toe nibbling I fear.

8. Who? The same profile of workplace sexual harassers - the ones who couldn't hook up in a singles

situation, the ones who have to exert POWER over the target.

9. Just think...

If you died with a bunch of people in a survival situation, they'd be nibbling on your toes and everything else to survive too. The difference being that they would have to overcome their snobby attitude and gag reflex. I'd much rather be eaten by something that can just enjoy me than by people who are so snobby that even though they have never tried human before, seem to want to gag at the thought of it. I probably taste just as good as the next human. According to the mosquitoes, I taste even better than some other humans.

11. I can't think of a post when I've ever disagreed with you. & I love your largesse of spirit.

[Jamastiene]

19. Awwww, that's so sweet.

And I taste good.

10. I'm a fan of anthropomorphic pin-ups.

We're called "Furrys," but there are many sub-groups within, mostly sexual in nature.

I prefer good female pin-up art, like this:

14. Your Chihuahua would probably curl up at your side

and starve while protecting you.

15. My little female Chihuahua is FEROCIOUS. . .

She loves me, but it's very embarrassing when I take her anywhere, as she snarls, snaps & shows her fangs to anybody who comes within an 8-foot radius of where I'm sitting.

If I'm not at my parents' (who love dogs), she gets to stay home to entertain herself. And yes, I have done everything--dog trainers, etc. I have been told that if Chihuahuas were big, they would be more ferocious than Pit Bulls, and I certainly believe it.

16. You don't have to tell me

I was once a paperboy. I had to pedal for my LIFE when the chihuahuas got out and chased me!

[BigDemVoter]

17. Check out Google

Do a search for "Feral Chihuahuas", and you'll get a shock! Packs of marauding Chihuahuas terrorizing neighborhoods

[pinboy3niner]

18. My nemesis was suburban domesticated chihuahuas at a home on my paper route

I was tempted to wear armor. Well, on my ankles, anyway.

20. Major props dude! You are like a planet who walks his own path.
