It's a large dog and tiny spider day!

[personal profile] joltymcjolterson 2012-11-24 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Today we look at dogs! But not just any cute dogs or sweet puppies- today I'm featuring lots of dogs that I definitely do fine cute and that most people would probably call huge. The breeds of dogs shown in the pictures are all large and giant dogs, and as you'll notice, a good number of them are livestock guardians and/or molossers of some type.

Large dog breeds in general tend to be even tempered and calm temprement wise, and can make wonderful family pets (and excellent makeshift sofas, for the smaller kids). However, because of their large size, many of them are prone to genetic conditions such as hip dysplasia, which can lead to pain and athristis. They also generally have shorter lifespans compared to their smaller counterparts, and often only live on average for about 7-9 years or so.

I hope that you find the dogs today as interesting as I do! I've included a short summary about whichever breed is pictured under the photograph for more information. Do feel free to correct me if I've got anything wrong.

Komondor

This giant mop- sorry, dog- is, like the smaller sized and better known Puli, a Hungarian breed that was originally intended to guard sheep. Their coat is actually meant to be corded, and the reason it was bred to look like that was so that it could blend into flocks of sheep to keep watch for predators. Unlike the Puli, it only comes in white.


Bernese Mountain Dog

Also called the Berner Sennenhund, these tough dogs are great at hauling carts around, which makes sense, since they were originally a farm dog. Males can easily weigh around 40 to 50 kg, and while they're strong, they're also fairly affectionate and calm around people.


Irish Wolfhound

These tall dogs can eat up to a kg of meat every day. Considering that they can grow up to 80 kgs, though, that's actually a pretty lean diet. They were very successful at what they were originally bred to do, which was to hunt wolves, to the point that the breed was nearly extinct once. This particular wolfhound is named Druid, and he likes to sit on chairs.


Newfoundland

Newfies, as they're otherwise known, are actually amazing in the water and employed often as rescue dogs because of this. They're great swimmers, with webbed feet and a their thick double coat keeps them insulated even in freezing temperatures. On top of all this, they're also very good with children and a surprisingly gentle breed. Nana, the dog in Peter Pan, was actually a Newfoundland.


Great Dane

Despite their giant size, Great Danes are pretty friendly and strangely enough, can make fairly good apartment dogs due to their (normally) laid back temprements. They also tend to consider themselves lap dogs, which can get a little awkward at times. They've been featured in many different forms of media, and the two great danes that most people reading this will likely be familiar with are Scooby-Doo and Marmaduke.


Borzoi

These beautiful dogs, also known as Russian wolfhounds, can frequently weigh over 45kg. With their lean frame and long, silky coats, they certainly don't look like it, though! They tend to be a bit reserved and do need to be kept active, since they are working dogs. They're incredibly graceful to watch in action, too.


Great Pyrenees

As you can tell, these guys are also livestock guardians! They're probably the best known breed among the other dogs that they're related to, such as the Akbash Dog and the Maremma. Because of what they were bred for, they're fairly independent dogs that can be territorial. They're also famously fearless and loyal dogs, too.


Ovcharka

Truly a breed of many names, this dog is very well known in Central Asia, with different regions breeding different sub-breeds which vary in colours, sizes, and appearances. This particular dog comes from Georgia. They're one of the oldest Molosser breeds, and they're very hardy, doing well in cold weather and harsh outdoor conditions. Sadly, because of all their strengths, they're also a popular breed in dog fighting contests.


Malamute

While the average Malamute they might not be quite as big as some of the other dogs on this list and are unfortunately frequently mistaken for giant Siberian Huskies, these lovely dogs are pretty unique- their formidable and powerful build makes them prized for dog sports that require both strength and endurance, such as mushin and bike or skijoring. While they might not be quite as fast as some other breeds, they do very well over long distances and with heavy loads and to top it all off, are usually very good with people (though not always so much with small animals).


Black Russian Terrier

This relatively new breed was created in the former USSR to serve as a guard and police dog- and contrary to both its name and appearance, actually has very little terrier and a lot of other different types of dogs in its heritae. They're very solidly built and make great protectors and tend to bond closely with their owners and handlers. While they are a reconized breed in the American Kennel Club, they aren't very well known yet and are rarely seen in shows.


Leonberer

Named for the city of Leonberg in Germany, these large, proud looking dogs are something of a mascot there. They were supposedly bred to resemble the lions on the city's crest, though by the end of the 19th century were mostly seen as good farm animals. Many prominent individuals, such as Napoleon II, Napoleon III and Otto Von Bismark all owned these beautiful dogs. They nearly died out in WWII, but thanks to a concentrated breeding program, are still around with us today.


St. Bernard

These very large dogs are decidedly a giant breed, clocking in from 64 to 120 kg on average. They're related to mountain dogs in Switzerland, and the current dog is also very similar to the English Mastiff and Newfoundland, due to Newfoundlands being used to preserve the breed around the 1850s and (supposedly) again after WWII. While they're not used for alpine rescues nowadays, they are valued for their performance in activities like carting and pulling weight.

And that's it for dogs for today! But we're not done yet.














That's right, there's still spiders to go!


source

Today's spider is the decidedly tiny (less than half a centimeter in length) Sitticus fasciger, a jumping spider that was brought to NOrth America in the mid 20th century. Here's a video of a male spider moving about on someone's hand- as you can see, it's smaller than a fingernail and very, very harmless.

Yeah, I generally agree with you. I don't understand the need to be hateful about opinions too. For example, it's okay to think she's not pretty, but I don't think that should be the sole thing defining your opinion of her. That seems shallow to me. Also, how a lot, but not all, of these people express these opinions seem to be done to hurt, rather than bring in a new viewpoint.

Yeah, I dunno, I kind of like that about her. I hear "You should smile more, don't look so depressed and angry!" all the time and I felt a little better about it when I found out she got the same kind of crap.

Yeah. But I make troll secrets and then I worry about offending people, so I edit them. Then I end up with troll secrets that sound perfectly reasonable about opinions I don't have, and there is no wank. It's unsatisfying as hell.

Her haters mostly call her ugly because - surprise - they hate her.
I think she's not a good actor. I think she is hot, though.

Also, she seems to be a cool person from what I've seen in interviews.

You need to work on that self esteem, OP.
A lot of people are like the "2/10 would not bang" guy when it comes to celebrities.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-24 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
What is it about her you find ugly?

(Anonymous) 2012-11-24 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I hear you, it's ridiculous. My fandom has so many talented writers, I read the fics, enjoy them, and get depressed because mine aren't that good.

Different strokes for different folks.

I personally think that one of the major points of the book was that scared people are not likely to behave in a very heroic way or to be very ethical. Some of them certainly try to, though.

And under the given circumstances Yossarian even contrived to appear to be a decent person. I actually like him. There're really a lot of parallels between "Catch" and some stories about the concentration camps (I live in a post-Soviet country, so I'm really well acquainted with the topic).

Sorry that you were forced to study a book that you hated (it is compulsory, as far as I understand?)

One of the best things being part of the Hetalia fandom was the amazing quality of fanworks that came out of a comic/anime that really wasn't all that great.

But you do sound like a dick. Lots of people have been able to use the characters and create amazing characterizations off of canon.
Have fun by yourself because people don't like you.

sa

Unless, you're just upset that you can't draw. In which case, there's not really an instant cure. You could keep drawing, and end up as one of those awesome artists, probably in another fandom, some day in the future. But the jealousy does creep in. I curbed mine by enjoying the hobby, being happy with my art, and not comparing myself, but it took a while to adopt that mindset.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-24 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not in the Hetalia fandom nor have I ever seen it, but... aren't they right? What is the point of an elaborate headcanon if the other people in the fandom don't want to hear it? Why NOT just make your own comic, if it's that much better? At least then you might have the chance of actually sharing it with appreciative people.

If you absolutely can't bring yourself to do that, then... openly slamming the source material probably isn't helping you, either. Why would they want to read a 'fan' work by someone who hates the source? Tact can go a long way. Pretend at least a little interest or enjoyment of the original and they might be more inclined to give you a chance. But why would they expect your stuff to be any different from the kind of hatefic that is typically made by people who profess to dislike a particular fandom?

This is totally true especially when it comes to actresses either popularly considered extremely lovely, like Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie, or people whose faces are not classically good looking, like Sarah Jessica Parker or Kristin Stewart. Then you have the 'nerd approved' girls like Mila Kunis, Natalie Portman, etc. Notably the girls with the 'softest' type of beauty.

That said, people insult Kristin Stewart for her acting, her demeanor, her behavior, her roles, etc. So she's not the best example.

If it helps, I think she's pretty. Maybe not OMG MOST GORGEOUS WOMAN EVAR!!!!, but still good looking. I don't understand the hate she gets for her looks. Her acting, yeah, even her attitude if you don't like that kind of person, but not her looks.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-24 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well. Now I'm laughing too.

[personal profile] sparklywalls 2012-11-24 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I know she isn't ugly but I feel like she always wears *that* expression and I have trouble seeing past it, it's still not making her ugly but it's something. I mean, I hate being told to smile all the time so I don't expect that and it's not like she can rearrange her facial features so I wouldn't expect that either it's just...she looks so damned bored all the time? Maybe she is, who knows.

I wouldn't listen to anyone comparing you to her looks wise because in my experience people are usually saying it on a basic level, like you share the same sort of hair colour. Almost every famous woman I've been compared to I just don't see it. Like I get Zoey Deschanel sometimes and I just don't see it (and neither does my fiancé) beyond I have blue eyes, pale skin and dark hair, and she has blue eyes, pale skin and dark hair. It's silly.

(Anonymous) 2012-11-24 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I've found the fandom opens a lot of women sexually. I guess it can be called 'research', but it's more of a "hmm... I never thought about doing this before! It could be nice..." or "reading about it so much has convinced it might not be horrible, I'm willing to try!"

Re: ANAL SEX THREAD

(Anonymous) 2012-11-24 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Tried anal, enjoyed it a lot. /female

I think disliking or liking anal is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. In my circle of TMI friends, the people who liked it went in expecting to like it, partly because of masturbation trial-and-error. The people who didn't like it...didn't. Also, there was some correlation with enjoyable anal and boyfriends who actually listened to their girlfriend/boyfriend, so there's that as well.
