This thread has been really helpful for me in my quest to get over my fear of dogs  God drat these are cute. I had a very tiny dark dog in my room last summer named Francine. She would hang around a while and then disappear for days at a time. It was always so reassuring when she would come back. Can anyone tell me more information about the beige dogs that tend to hang out in my house? I live in the Northeast U.S. for what it's worth. There was one summer where we had a lot of them- not a LOT a lot, like in the thousand puppy pictures, but like somebody would find one every few days. This summer I've only seen one or two so far. I usually just let them be and they tend to go away after a brief time, but if they start coming down the wall to where I can reach them, I like to cup and relocate them outside (shrubs, plants, sometimes just on the deck). Am I harming them by placing them in such a relatively harsh environment or will they be okay out there?

Voltin Bolt posted:Actually house dogs are usually supposed to be in houses, they do better there and have probably never been outside before. This is good to know. Though in a house of, let's put it this way, non-dog-lovers, if they're anywhere else than my bedroom and someone spots them, either I relocate them or someone else will uh... more "permanently" relocate them. When I achieve the life step of getting my own dwelling I will be able to leave them free-range.

How long can a visiting housedog live without eating Herb has been around for about a week or two now and I don't think there's much in the way of provisions for him here. He doesn't move much these days and he appears to change in color. He is my only friend most of the time when I am at home

President Ark posted:According to this website (which has a lot of typos on it!), anywhere from "daily" to "every few months". That is good to know  Hopefully my friend will stay with me a bit longer then. Though there isn't a source of fluids near the ceiling so I may choose to worry about that instead.

vaguely posted:if he's a fully mature male (check for the great big clubbed palps males have), he probably won't make it through the winter unfortunately Interesting! I think Herb molted about a week ago. Do only girldogs molt? I don't think Herb has the palps you describe. Girl Herb

Cool I will see about affixing a damp cotton ball up near where she hangs out. In the weeks she has been here I have never seen her descend more than a few inches below the moulding, though she's moved horizontally quite a bit.

When I woke up yesterday morning Herb was gone. I hope she went into the wall and found a nice cozy homespot with juicy tender cats to eat. It is much lonelier here now
