Official Off Topic Discussion Thread #1

hello; Just curious about this, new to me, thing going on with "comfort animals". Talked to a short term neighbor last fall. She had a dog and told me she is trying to get the dog cleared to be a comfort animal. Said she had had a trauma of some sort living with her parents. Sounded fishy to me at the time and other talks with her seemed to confirm she talked a lot of BS in general.
My general impression is this "comfort animal" thing is perhaps a fad for many or another "me too" sort of thing. I get that combat veterans can be helped and my guess is this is what the programs were intended to help. Seems to me though it is another program that has been stretched beyond the original intent.
I see people in the supermarket with their dogs now. Does not seem a good idea to have dogs in a food place or lose on airplanes.

Here is a link to the story that caught my eye.

Sounds like some kind of loophole designation to get around a landlord's "no pets" policy.
 
In the first photo I like that tall plant that is leaning against the wall and the small one to the left of it looks like it could be made into a nice bonsai.
We actually got these at a Bonsai course, however, we don't tend to them all that much. Being succulents they don't need much water and we just trim them occasionally.

Ooh, just saw you're mother of thousands! Heres a pic of mine. View attachment 1294900
I had a 2ft tall plant outside with my other succulents which just flowered and withered off. This was strange but we have more. Nice plant :)

You seem to know your plants, I'm not good with them at all haha. The tree is very cool, I need to try and propagate it!

Comfort animals are relevant for some, however, some people just loop around the system to take their pets on planes with them in seats or whatever. Instead of the hold. Needs more controls.
