here's a few photos of my dog because I love animals if you do too maybe reply with your pet? :) also have a cat and a snake (python)

@Tinman206 i don’t have any pets to share but omg pls show me ur snake 🙏

@teoyup I have to admit I only got a snake because my son convinced his mother so I couldn't say no. But now that he's part of the family I love him 🤩 he's a ball python named spots.

@teoyup he really is! I never knew how adorable a snake could be since they spooked me before owning one but they're adorable

@Tinman206 i’ve always wanted to own a ball python but everyone warns about them being picky eaters. would u say spots is picky?

@teoyup I've heard that but we've never had any issues except for once. We found out he had a respiratory infection though which was why. I've had him 3 years now that's been the only issue. I will say we feed him live mice though which a lot of people discourage because they can get attacked. We watch him during feedings and it's never been an issue

@Tinman206 have u ever fed him frozen thawed? live feeding might be the reason he’s never been picky. he’s eating premium lol

@teoyup that was my thought on it too haha. The breeder had him on live once we got him so we tried a few times to transition him with no luck. Admittedly we could've tried more techniques but since we were early on and the breeder said love is fine but Petco said try frozen we decided to trust the breeder. We bought him at an exotic pets and reptile expo for context. With close supervision he has been fine but you know what they say it only takes once so maybe we've been lucky

@Tinman206 here are some of my chickens and my cats. I have 4 chickens and 4 cats.

@everwylde OMG those cats snuggling is too cute! The chickens are also cute :) do their personalities come through too like other pets?

@Tinman206 chickens have so much personality. Many years ago I live for a little while off grid and had 30+ chickens and really had no idea how much personality they had. These 4 chickens have very different personalities then each other and i can tell them apart just by how they act. They also love me and will ask for snuggles often. Also, my cats have literally saved my life on multiple occasions.

@everwylde that's so cool! My uncle used to have chickens but they were less than friendly so I've been hesitant to get my own. But it's fun hearing they also like snuggles and are such characters 😀 30+ is one heck of a flock!

@Tinman206 how friendly they are really depends on how socialized with humans they are. 2 of my girls lived in our bathroom when they were babies so they were around us and handled frequently. The 2 black ones I got when they were 11 weeks and they hadn't been handled so it's take longer to socialize them, but they definitely are friendly now.

How old is your pup? What kind of dog is he? He is such a good looking dog.

@everwylde socializing early seems to be the key to every pet! My dog Kingsley is 5 years old now and he's a chug. Pug & Chihuahua. I fell in love as soon as I met him because I always wanted a Rottweiler but only had a small apartment. With how his markings are he looked just like a lil teacup rottweiler as a puppy 😊 he definitely got the pug personality more than Chihuahua as he's very playful and always excited to see anyone but not as yippy.

@Tinman206 this is my old man Harvey he is the love of my life.

@LAR1980 harvey looks like quite the snuggle bug 😍

@Tinman206 he is literally the best.

@Tinman206 what is your dog's name?

@Tinman206 here's my friend Molly and her stick! You might like the #DogsOfMastodon tag, check it out:)

@TheresaReason adorable 😍 and thank you for sharing the tag! Definitely trying to find more I enjoy to make the homepage more personal

@TheresaReason would you mind telling me how you added the ALT text to your image?

@Tinman206 sure! After I upload the photo, I click on the ALT text overlaying it, for me in the bottom left corner. That opens a new screen with a window for text. Personally, I use my voice to text option on my android phone and then it's quick and easy to add a description. I hope that it's the same process for you on your server and browser...

@TheresaReason Yeah I'm on android too so the step by step was perfect :)
