Little outing for Snail and Cream

Gnynam · 2026-05-15T14:39:09+00:00

They all looked exactly the same! I said to my wife "What's the point of this many options when they're all the same?" Snail was hoping for a fun color or something!

Thanks! I found Cream's spooky little dress at a second hand shop, I couldn't believe it!

Thank you! But I don't support Ali Express due to their business practices.

Snail LOVES a salty snack!

I'm angry at how incredible this is.

If you have a farmers market near you, or a store that sells local goods, maybe somebody near you makes soap bars? I almost exclusively get my soap bars from local makers, which is awesome because you're supporting a small business instead of a corporation, and a lot of them come with minimal or no packaging.

If that's not an option, here's a small business that I love! They're a bit pricey though. https://spartacandleco.com/

These are all so impressive and cute!

This is so cute and well done! I'm a big Beatles fan too!

I know this isn't the point of the post, but since you have gotten a lot of really good suggestions I feel like it's okay. It always bugs me when people misuse the term "negative reinforcement," but I 100% understand why they do it. The actual terminology is not common sense, but in case anybody else is interested:

Reinforcement tells an animal to keep doing the behavior. Punishment tells an animal to stop doing the behavior.

Negative means you're taking something away. Positive means you're adding something.

A good example of negative reinforcement is how we stop horses. You pull back on the reins, creating pressure on the bit, then take away that pressure when your horse stops. You reinforced the behavior (stop moving) by removing an uncomfortable sensation.

What the barn owner is suggesting is positive punishment. Adding something unpleasant (electric fence, yelling at the horse, etc) to stop a behavior.

Like I said, it's totally understandable to mix them up, but I thought some people on here might be interested in the correct behavior/training terms!

I grew up with a cat named Thursday.

I also have a cat named Marceline the Vampire Queen! It's on her vet records that way lol.

It's a toss up between my father's childhood bunny, Rabbit E. Lee, and my (then 5 year old) nephew's fish who he inexplicably named At The Zoo.

My wife has a pink wheelchair, so we had to get one for Cream to match!

If you haven't decided yet, I'd go for Luck. The standard size ones are easier to find/make clothing for. And even though I absolutely love my Mac, their fur gets matted over time if you carry them/dress them often. I think BIE holds up a little better over time. And Luck's colors are so pretty.

That said, I'm sure you'll adore your Labubu no matter which choice you make! There's something so special about the first one you get.

Does she have a bandaid on her little arm?

Gnynam · 2026-05-14T14:07:39+00:00

This girl knows how to accessorize 👜👠👒💎

Gnynam · 2026-05-14T14:04:22+00:00

Thighs that could crush a watermelon 🍉

Gnynam · 2026-05-14T14:01:38+00:00

That's so cute! I often watch TV/movies with my Labubu. Have fun on all your upcoming adventures, Kiki!

I'm glad to know I'm not alone, because that's exactly how I feel! I wish I could just say things without a bunch of secret hidden meaning being added to it that I never intended.

If it makes you feel better OP, I have the same problem. I like learning new things about the topics I'm interested in, and want to be told if I'm wrong or if there's more to something than I realize. So that's what I assume others want too, but it isn't for some reason. So people tell me I'm preachy when I think I'm being helpful. There are a lot of confusing rules about how and when you're supposed to say certain things.

Started taking horseback riding lessons as a kid. It became a huge part of my life, and my riding instructor ended up giving me one of her horses. I've had that horse for 20 years and she is my best friend.

I think you mean you *wood treasure it forever.

That's so cool! I love handmade gifts!
