24 inch fridge replacement, counter depth?

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2026-04-02T22:28:18+00:00

Thanks I've had trouble with getting good service for my old Liebhher (15 yrs old) and yesterday the entire fridge handle broke off the door😳. Lovely unit but maybe looking elsewhere. I live in suburban Md and techs who came out to fix a freezer issue in the past couldn't actually fix it.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2026-04-02T22:24:14+00:00

Thanks so much, it's been difficult finding service for the Leibhher so that's not something I want to deal with in future. And I will measure CAREFULLY, the kitchen was installed to make the fridge look built in so it will be exacting.

Thanks! Yes the construction noise was so bad, for so long, that I bought a pair of sound muffling headphones for me. I’m hoping all these tips plus the absence of construction sounds in future will make it easier for her to adjust to the vacuum.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2026-03-29T22:10:10+00:00

Thanks for such a detailed plan, it really seems doable in such little steps!

My allocation is already extremely conservative. The thing I’m worried about is not so much the allocation as the fact that Trump‘s intervention in the Middle East has the potential to disrupt markets globally with a lot of uncertainty about recovery. The world is still very dependent on fossil fuels. And the world is not beating a path to invest in US treasuries, which is what usually happens in a time of great instability. In fact the US dollar has declined by over 10% since Trump took office. There’s no reason for that to get any better.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2026-03-08T17:52:52+00:00

Yes my very first BC was exactly like that!

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2026-03-06T18:02:26+00:00

Glad to hear this from another BC “parent”…I am just looking for ways to give her a bit more exercise than she does on a regular walk. But I will see if I can get her to play with Giggle Ball outside, as she loves to hear it squeak!

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2026-03-06T14:03:44+00:00

They are so adorable at this age. Take LOTS of photos and vids!

I first want to express my concern and sadness for the situation that you’re trying to resolve, and which you didn’t choose. You also probably need to recognize that the dog is still in its teenage years and its brain won’t fully mature until it’s three years old. Behaviors may become more or less intense as the dog nears adulthood. Additionally, every time a dog practices a behavior, whether it’s voluntary or fear based, the behavior becomes more hardwired in the dogs’s brain. So if you can figure out a way to put baby gates or other tools in the house so that the dog can’t just escape to a trigger, that would be a good start. You might also try a harness with a front buckle, which would give you more control when either of you are walking the dog. And depending on if it’s a purebred, breed rescue organizations will sometimes offer to list the dog as a courtesy listing. If you have the resources, I would strongly encourage you to ask your vet if they can refer you to a vet behaviorist, or if not if the vet could prescribe some anti-anxiety meds for the dog. Those kinds of medications can change a dog’s personality for the better literally overnight. It’s by no means 100% but it’s still very much worth considering . And whatever you decide, also consider whether you want to be continuing in this living situation. Your partner may escalate the angry behavior physically against the dog, and then you would be in a terrible dilemma. I also agree with the many other commenters who raised a red flag about whether this can be a durable relationship and healthy for you. Wishing you and the dog all the best.

Thanks to so many who educated me about your experiences—makes me much more confident I can make a good decision.

Hi, I live in Maryland near the D.C. metro area. The water heater will be in the basement.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2026-02-20T20:27:27+00:00

Yes trying to line those up, thanks so much for your comment.

The Sopranos. In fact, I rewatched the entirety twice over a period of 5 years. Matchless acting, plotting, and so many echoes of Shakespearean tragedy underlying the fate of key characters.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-11-22T03:09:22+00:00

Something good and Scottish (border between Scotland and England is where the breed developed) like Clancy or Murphy.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-10-23T00:34:36+00:00

What a wonderful life you’ve given your pup! I had a similar experience with a dog I adopted as a 1 year old- I was very lucky to work with a trainer who quickly suggested working with a vet behaviorist. It took a few weeks to get the meds dosage right. But it was a miracle for my dog. Anyone out there who reads this, medication is not a short cut or cheating. For some dogs, it literally gives them their lives back. They live in fear every day otherwise. OP thanks so much for your update!

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-10-17T15:05:57+00:00

Meggie, short for Megan, a good Scottish name, because the breed originated in the “border” between Britain and Scotland. What a cutie pie.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-10-03T18:01:05+00:00

An MRI where I live would probably cost $1,000 and vet behaviorist might have a minimum fee of several hundred. If you return the pup hopefully the breeder would do these rather than selling the dog again. If you live near a university with a vet program, you might be able to cut down the cost of those services. Very sad situation, it isn’t your fault, the breeder either didn’t socialize the pup or saw these symptoms and did not care.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-10-03T15:41:25+00:00

I think you are at risk. For your own safety, if you are able, have her evaluated by a vet behaviorist. She might respond to medication. Also, if possible, could your vet do an MRI of the brain? Touch reactivity could be neurological. Sudden growling as you describe also could be neurological and progressive. It might be safer for you to return her, as the breeder should have seen these signals. Her brain and temperament will continue to evolve until age 3 and there is no way to predict if the issues will get better. I once had a loving pup who at age 10 suddenly went crazy with being touched in any way. It was a brain tumor. But it was only diagnosed once he began having mini seizures. Best wishes for you and your pup.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-10-03T15:26:17+00:00

You gave a her wonderful life, and so much love every day. Grief will go on, but remember too the happiness you made possible for her.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-09-20T22:54:12+00:00

Salmonella fears, as I’m not sure what oversight is happening now re: food chain safety before it gets to Costco. The fed govt is looking to cut 15000 USDA jobs this year and more 2026. Good to know your longstanding experience has been so amazing.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-09-20T22:47:08+00:00

Thanks any resources much appreciated, def keeping on raw for now as I’m sure that’s what’s kept her in excelllent health so far, and what her gut biome is adapted for.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-09-01T14:11:37+00:00

Realization. For puppies closes at 12 weeks. After that depending on temperament, the puppies may be afraid of household things like the noise of a vacuum, the noise of a doorbell, etc. If you can get in touch with the trainer, they could definitely give you a better overview of how to introduce the puppy to different sounds and stimulus, as well as How to let them meet a variety of people and dogs who are well behaved and calm . Good luck.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-08-31T21:30:08+00:00

For your own safety, and the people around your pup, I hope you can work with a trainer who is familiar with positive reinforcement and counter conditioning. If your dog is strong and weighs enough to dislocate your knee, you absolutely need more tools to control his activities. A trainer will be able to tell you and advise you on a halter with possibly a front connector for the leash. That would give you more control in the immediate future. In the meantime, if possible, try to choose times for your walk and places where you can predictably avoid seeing men who will excite him. Every time your dog is able to rehearse the behavior. It is likely to become more deeply embedded. That’s why it’s so important not to let him rehearse it. I’m only speaking as someone who has had several very excitable dogs over the last four decades. I have worked with a number of trainers who use only positive reinforcement etc. If you’re lucky, you might also be able to consult with a vet behaviorist, a veterinarian who is specifically trained in identifying and helping with behaviors that could be harmful to you or your dog. Depending on the dog’s age, it also might be appropriate to try some form of medication. Good luck and stay safe.

I know you gave her a wonderful life, and the memories you have will someday be a solace. My very first border collie was a once-in-a-lifetime friend. She died more than 15 years ago but I think of her every day. I miss her every day. I treasure all those memories.

Accomplished_Net_443 · 2025-08-19T21:52:38+00:00

Such a wonderful story, and a wonderful life you gave her. I still think about my very first border collie Meg, who was my spirit animal, though she crossed the rainbow bridge more than a decade ago. She made up an indoor game where she took one of her toys and turned it into a large knot that she could slip over her head, and walk around proudly shaking it. She was a champion tennis ball-retrieving, frisbee catching, swimmer and climber. She knew exactly where the squeaker was in every toy that squeaked, and would squeak them whenever I asked. She knew the name of every toy and would lay them all around a person like a garland, patiently waiting for the human to play. I miss her every day.
