1 of 7
Richardson's Ground Squirrel (GOPHER)
Danger 0/10
These small creatures live in the ground (smart) and only pop out to yell at each other and the dogs who get too close. They are annoying, but harmless. Beaker attempts to catch them daily. 2/7 flic.kr/p/HeC8wD
Yelling Sneaky Tree Cat A.K.A. SQUIRREL
Danger 2/10
While harmless, their annoying behaviour and irritating call brings this animal up the danger chart. Impossible to catch, impervious to barking, and chucker of acorns, the squirrel is just dumb. flic.kr/p/9xuidv
3/7
THE FOX
Danger 4/10
These illusive canids are tiny and beautiful, but can be bitey if approached. They also are adept at breaking into chicken coups and killing all your Busters. Admire from afar. Especially, their gorgeous tails. flic.kr/p/ojpuJv
4/7
BITEY NOTADOG AKA COYOTEE
Danger 7/10
Dangerous to most dogs, and since they have a pack of friends, dangerous to ALL dogs. In the spring when they have their not-a-dog-puppies they are most aggressive. Leave them to their space. Stay away. flic.kr/p/2k9LYfX
5/7
SPIKEY DANGER TREE CAT AKA PORCUPINE
Danger 10/10
Left alone these are harmless, but they are impossible to defeat. Porcupines don't care about you, your dog or anything. They move at one speed:
AHOLE SAUNTER
LEAVE ALONE flic.kr/p/2jN5jYT
6/7
MURDER CHONKWEASEL AKA BADGERS
Danger 100/10
Badgers wake up each day on the wrong side of the bed, step in crap and rusty nails. They only have one thought - the destruction of all life they see fit. They will attack bears.
RUN. RUN AWAY. flic.kr/p/2mdPnCc
7/7

Small Humans:
Danger Rating 0/10
Small humans are mostly harmless, sticky, less hairy versions of their larger counterparts,
They make loud sounds, fall over, and complete daily nonsense. Ignore.
2/6
Teens
Danger Rating 2/10
Teens are gangly, smelly, loud almost humans. While they are almost always acting suspicious it is not their fault. They are full of hormones and it isn’t polite to spay or neuter them yet.
Bark a bunch.
3/6
1. Divide and Conquer: the humans in the morning and slow and stupid. Be wary if they have had their bitter black juice as they are less dumb. After being fed by one, isolate this human while another dog uses any method to convince a second human you have yet to eat.
2. Weekend confusion: most humans don’t work a couple days a week and thus fail to have the screaming wake up machine set. As their routines are destroyed, use this to your advantage. They may forget what time you eat and are susceptible to a second attempt.
Is every single snowflake unique?
Well it’s time for a science thread with adorable dogs.
Snowflakes fall when cloud temperature reaches -10°C or colder.
Particles in the air start the ice crystal- dust, dirt, water, etc.
(1/4)
The crystals fall to earth as more and more water condenses on the crystal. Here is where the magic happens!
A snowflake forms a six sided shape- honeycomb in appearance.
Why six sides?
Read on science friend (2/4)
Hydrogen and oxygen (in water) combine in a pattern known as six fold symmetry. As the flake falls, this pattern makes the base shape but it is humidity that shapes the flake.
High humidity (water in air) cause the flake to branch out forming star like patterns but… (3/4)
Ok. It’s time for Santa Science.
Hold on to your beard and hat.
🧵 (1/7)
Santa has to visit around 600 million kids in 24 hours (32ish due to timezones) but anyway. To get to this many houses Santa travels SO fast he experiences TIME DILATION.
Santa moves SO fast time slows for him. (Einstein’s Theory of Relativity) (2/7)
So BOOM due to slowed time, he can get to all those houses! On top of this, he would age slower AND shrink in size due to time contraction. The size of an object shrinks the faster it goes. Guess which jolly man can now fit down a chimney? (3/7)
COVID spread takes time.
Say 50% of people (low vax rate) just stop picking up dog poop at a dog park.
To start with, you don’t notice it. There is tons of space, and little poops. Where is all the poop people say? What’s the worry?
Days go by, 50% still leaving the poops. 1/2
Some people have protected their feet by wearing rubber boots. The 50% not picking up poop are wearing sandals.
More days go by. Now there is POOP everywhere. Everyone is stepping in it. Sandal people are getting it between their toes 2/4
Some sandal people have blisters or sores and oh boy do their feet get infected. The poop changes. It’s now super nasty, sticky and super clingy.
Boot people are tracking the poop everywhere too. Boot people don’t know they’re covered in poop because they are protected.
