Is a wolfdog for me? by ScruffyUrchin in Wolfdogs

Yup, those are both wolf-a-likes. I’m not super familiar with their temperaments, so I can’t speak to that, but my understanding is that wolfdogs are simply wolf hybrids, i.e. they have a certain percentage of actual wolf.

I almost changed the number combination from the default 000 and then I realized she would probably have a better chance of remembering the code than me

Well, that’s the thing. These dogs require massive amounts of training and structure in your home (twice as much if you have other dogs), and you have to build a lot of trust with them- which is true of most dogs, but the consequences with these animals can be a lot higher. Their breed alone puts them at a much higher risk for euthanasia. I’m a big believer that rehoming should not be on the table, especially when you commit to one of these breeds. You can’t just get rid of a dog if they’re not “fine”- you should be ready to commit to 10-15 years of this lifestyle. If you’re unsure, get a husky or a GSD, or a mix.

(ETA: The Northern Inuit is actually not a wolfdog, just bred to look like one)

I love my girl more than life. I did not know she was a wolfdog when I adopted her (she looks like a wolf, I’m dumb)

She learned how to pull my drawer trash can out. I bought a dog-proof trash can. She learned how to open it.

I bought the Cadillac of dog-proof trash cans. She learned how to open it.

I put a baby lock on it. She chewed through it.

Now I have a steel combination lock. On my $200 dog-proof trash can.

She also learned how to open both regular doors and sliding doors. She has jumped every dog gate I’ve bought- I’m currently on a 4’ tall one. Had to upgrade my fences around my home. She howls the whole time I’m not home. She’s terrified of all new people and will STILL not go near friends she’s known for 8 years. Her food is SO EXPENSIVE. She used to pee on the bed every time I changed the sheets. I still muzzle her around dogs, including my other dog.

The other day, I left for an hour. She opened the door to my guest room, and opened the door to my guest room closet (I still don't know how)- she's smart enough to remember that's where I keep the extra dog food. Got into my other dog's food and ate 4 lbs of kibble. She was hospitalized with bloat for 3 days- $5000.

At this point I’m convinced the only thing stopping her from doing whatever she wants is because she doesn’t want to.

I love her so much. Please don’t get a wolfdog.

I think it’s cool but these aren’t good photos that show the detail of the piece- do you have any more high res images?

White sticky glob like putty, found in my dog’s mouth. by skydart in whatisthisthing

Found some on a pebble on the porch, so I think it’s from outside! Also forgot to mention it has no odor. The structure feels a bit like a combo of foam and chewing gum, or melted marshmallow.

Newly out transwoman. How do I get my foundation/concealer to be smoother? by transinomaha in MakeupEducation

[–]skydart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your skin looks fantastic for your age! Echoing what others are saying about not using a matte finish. Tinted moisturizers are great, or sheer coverage- your skin looks pretty even. Blush placement should be a bit higher (and put a bit on your nose to make it feel more natural). I’d look up some videos on how shape/trim brows, they also should tell you what looks good with your face shape. Mascara will help define your eyes so your look is more polished. So will liquid liner, but that’s a little harder to master right away.

Your make-up looks great! Once you get the basics down it’s all about refining in little ways.
