Whip Sparkles' ass with sorry stick for being beta.
She's been here longer...she should be the Alpha Pony. |

Use the power of static electricity to force the fluffies to hug. |

Return new fluffy with complaint to shelter.
Ensure next fluffy plays well with other fluffies. |

I don't know is there a Dog Whisperer equivalent for fluffy ponies? Because this seems like a problem he could tackle. |

Use sorry-stick on Sparkles.
Amputate both fluffy ponies and then reset their memories. Now you can tell the other fluffy pony that it has always been loved and that it wants to hug Sparkles. |

treat the new one nice and make it know that you will not harm it or anyone for that matter any more then make the 2 get along with friendly games and stuff..... |

Watching it attempt hug Sparkles without limbs would be both tragic and hilarious. |
| Anonymous #1223249 3 months ago |
@Saint_Braeburn:
Of course. The amputation is also a safety measure to stop them from choking on each another's arms when hugging (unfortunately, they might still choke on each another's fluff when rubbing heads together, but nothing is perfect). Also, to stop the other fluffy pony from impregnating Sparkles if it happens to be a fluffy colt. |

Let the abused pony condition Sparkles into a violent killing machine, and then set them loose on the neighborhood. |

First, take note that Fluffy Ponies are unintelligent animals with certain instinctual language skills and nothing more.
They are like a dog you can talk to, except less intelligent. You could probably have a more meaningful conversation with a canine merely through growls, barks and whines you hardly understand. So take a rolled up newspaper and very gently push it against your bad fluffy's face, fast enough that it could be taken as a smack but light enough as not to damage it's fragile death prone face. Attempts at communication with the creature may get somewhere, but as previously mentioned you may as well be talking to a rather dull dog. On the positive side some dogs may be loosely capable of getting the hint so it may just work for a Fluffy as well. |

Your comment implies that any part of the Fluffy Pony lore is consistent or follows a pattern -Sometimes Fluffy Ponies reproduce Asexually, and sometimes they reproduce sexually. - Sometimes they can take a bath and be fine, and sometimes you only need a single tear to drown them. - Sometimes they have the intellect of a dim child, and other times they are so stupid they forget to breath. - There size, IQ, vitality, eating habits, durability, and means of reproduction are all up to the creators choice. |

Grab some of the wicked dro I bought from Nate-dawg, Chonky, and Chonky's lil' bro over on the east side, light up a bowl, and hotbox both ponies to calm them down. |

Push new fluffy to the ground like it did to Sparkles
"How does it feel?" |
| fluff474 #1223536 3 months ago |
Put the new pony in a pen and don't let it out til it tells you why it hurt Sparkles and promises it won't do it again. Make sure it's behind a closed door so Sparkles doesn't see it and get upset or try to make friends with it again. /takingthreadseriously |

@Saint_Braeburn
Their IQ tends to range in being less intelligent then my rather unintelligent dog. I've yet to see one that even qualifies as a dim child, perhaps the rare few that exceed that and are commandos and assassins for some mysterious reasons, but the most common range is still somewhere below dog. The best way to describe them from what I've seen is a not too bright dog with instinctual basic language skills and other inborn behaviors, and the dog comparison is rather generous. |

Shave new fluffy pony's belly and slap it raw.
If it is going to be cruel to Sparkles, I will be cruel to it. |
| Anonymous #1223599 3 months ago |
Adding to that, it's best not to assume that the Fluffy Pony is of the more durable variety or the sort capable of actually understanding anything you tell it.
Picking it up and yelling in its face that it has been bad could possibly be safe, but depending on conditions it would probably just wet itself and defecate on you. You cannot blame them for these behaviors, you simply must find ways to avoid them like you would any other animal that cannot naturally comprehend the error. A Fluffy in most stories is not a child, it is a particularly dim talking toy poodle. The sort that just yaps like an idiot. These can make likable pets, but overestimating them will inevitably result in you getting angry because you think they should understand or else you give them too much freedom which results in their death. |

Using the combination trick to combine them. Hopefully, the new fluffy will have the politeness of Sparkler, and the aggression of the new fluffy. This will result in a fluffy that can be assertive without being an ass about it.
Or, y'know, separate them out until I get new guy to stop being an anti-social jerk. @599 Fluffy intelligence is just plain weird. They will automatically block out or forget negative experiences, they have short attention spans, poor concentration, and weak memories. Those attributes are fairly consistent, and would result in severe learning difficulties. They also tend to die before they reach two years of age, giving them a very short period of time to pick up skills. One year old is generally considered the average. Fluffy ponies are generally portrayed as capable of developing basic literacy, if the owner puts forth the slightest effort, and can usually follow commands that are quit complicated by dog standards, even if they can't remember them for long. Fairly impressive, since no one ever seems to put more than ten seconds into training them. The consensus seems to be that they can pick up skills fairly quickly, assuming that both the fluffy and the trainer put in the effort. The problem is that they just aren't interested most of the time, and the weak memory means that they rarely remember without constant reinforcement. Given all that, their behavior is distinctly odd by human or animal standards. They act more like humans than animals, as a rule, but they don't live long enough to pick up the experiences that a human uses to understand the world. They can't remember bad experiences either, so fear and pain are poor teachers for them. Combined with their constant desire for human attention, they also have a limited ability to distinguish negative attention from positive, making troublesome behavior hard to discourage. Hunh. Looping back to what started this whole discussion, the new fluffy might be bullying Sparkler because it thinks that's the best way to get attention. With that in mind, just place it in solitude and ignore it every time it attacks Sparkler, and give it extra attention when it plays nice. |

I would chastise the new fluffy and demand it apologizes to Sparkles. If problems persist I'd take it back to the shelter. |

Tell the new fluffy pony that bad ponies get no toys or sketti. Then show that you weren't lying. Stop the punishment when the new one respects Sparkles. |

@Sjogre
And if a dog could speak and understand english it would be much easier to train and the complicated "tricks" wouldn't really be difficult at all. The main difference here is the communication barrier. |
| Nebbie #1227310 3 months ago |
Introduce new fluffy pony to the sorry stikk. Giv Sparkles lots of love while the new one watches. Repeat process any time the new fluffy misbehaves.
Alternatively proceed to hurt and rape the new one until killing it, but be caring towards Sparkles. Get a new fluffy pony that hasn't been abused. |

The problem is, even taking into account the language barrier, fluffy ponies don't act a damn thing like a dog. Or any other animal. Thinking of them as such kind of misses the point. Even aside from questions of how one separates the ability to understand speech from general intelligence, fluffy ponies are usually portrayed as smart enough to get into enormous trouble, just not capable enough to get out of it. |
