I just wanna wax nostalgic on probably my most beloved pet that could've been a Pokemon.

Y'all may know Furryosa, but she's only been with me for a little under a year. But I had this dog I named "puppy", which my dad tried to fight but I won, from about age 6 until 14. He was a half German Shepherd, half Rottweiler that got dropped off on our doorstep (very small and isolated community, so it was obvious). Homie had the colorations of a Rottweiler with the build of a tall dachshund. We didn't crop anything cause my mom is a good person, so his tail took on its own moniker as the agent of chaos it was. He became male dog aggressive later in life, which wouldn't have been a problem as we had a fenced yard. But other dogs jumped into our fence on occasion and did not meet a ceremonious end.

But then a year or two before he suddenly passed he became best chums with an all white male dog literally half his size that we caught on camera jumping in. I'm not trying to defend Piers Anthony's literal bullshit, but maybe the horse isn't the only thing that's pale.

Edit to add: if y'all wanna know about the badass cat that could only be killed by an alligator, let me know. That fucker dug holes in concrete!

Cicade Killers are pretty great!

In exchange for one nightmare fueling huge wasp, I got relief from basically every other pest.

And the huge nightmare wasp was actually really chill and kept it's distance from humans, even/especially kids.

It got stuck on the porch once, and I wasn't delighted - but then it was chill when I held the porch door open for it.
