Don't forget the opposable thumbs.Human are such lethal predators due to their cooperative nature and ability to eternally rotate their arms in their shoulder sockets .
If the cats want to go to war with us, they will loose.
Those are good too.Don't forget the opposable thumbs.
Primates don't have external shoulder rotation?Those are good too.
But it's the external shoulder rotation that makes us the best throwing primates.
Monkies are stronger but we can throw rocks and spears way better.
Humans are number one in external shoulder rotation. We have the most. That is why humans can throw 100 mile and hour baseballs.Primates don't have external shoulder rotation?
Had surgery on a toe. Sitting in the recliner, foot elevated, bandage off/air dry to speed healing. Our damned Kona the labradoodle came up and licked the wound. Told her No! Too late. Next day, red lines going up my foot to ankle. Incision was swollen, pusy, etc. Trip to Dr. Took sample, asked if we had a pet. They have one antibiotic that would hopefully work. Spent 2 days in a hospital bed. Can’t blame the dog but pissed beyond belief. Keep an eye on your injury…. It could get ugly (hope not, would not wish the hassle on anyone)…All this talk about mountain lions and today on my run I get attacked by scruffy, little white dog. Clamped on my calf the little fucker..
The owner knew it was a biter. I heard her calling the dog and turned saw it coming at me from behind, so I stopped and bent down to pet it and she was like, "No! No!" Too late. Then it ran after another jogger who thought she could herd it back to the owner. "No! No!" This second lady figured out in time the unfriendly intentions and was able to run away.
If you know your dog bites people why would you let it off the leash at the beach?
Thanks for the heads up. I put hydrogen peroxide and neosporin on it. Hope that does the trick.View attachment 176441

Haha. I’ve been doing this zone 2 training. This month I’ve been running up into the Santa Monica Mountains so I had no idea what my zone two pace was (slows down to walk going up trails). I decided today on the beach, flat and no stop lights/signs, no traffic, to measure it. This was an unwanted interruption and I didn’t wait around. I did “bark” at her- “Put your dog on a leash!”First, sorry that happened to you.
I hope you got her info so you could report it. Dumb owner needs to learn not to take her dog off leash.
You seem like the right person for this video tutorial.I don't hate dogs. I hate their owners
I had a dog chase me on my bike it tried to bite me and back kicked it.
Perfect kick.
The dog yelped and stopped chasing.
When a dog attacks you, there is a moment of disbelief. The wrongness of it all
She was thinking she was helping, but yeah, that sucks. Good healing.View attachment 176441

They used to sell these, since cyclists at the turn of the century got attacked by random dogs so often. Probably not going play so well these days. I love dogs, but dog bites can get bad really fast.Haha. I’ve been doing this zone 2 training.

Jeeebus.Probably a smart move. A girl I went to high school with got mauled at Caspers but survived.
Her mom was berry picking, and set her down just behind her (she was probably 3 or 4?). The cat snuck up and grabbed her without a sound. Mom heard the rustling and somehow got it to let go. Her skull was partially crushed. I remember seeing her around when she was younger, and she had a dead eye and a helmet.
She seemed pretty ok. by the time high school rolled around, all things considered.
Just spray em with water from yer bottle. I’ve done that a few times in the past. Dogs like wtf and backs off.They used to sell these, since cyclists at the turn of the century got attacked by random dogs so often. Probably not going play so well these days.

Velo Dog would also be a pretty sick forums handle. Lol.
I read that male mtn lions have a 100 sq mi range, meaning there can't be too many of them in a small area.
Neighbor's cat went missing a few years back. They saw it on their backyard cam at 3:00 in the a.m. 5 minutes later, a mtn lion walked by between their glass slider and their patio table.
