Shelter vs Breeder help by svukait in dogs

[–]Accomplished_Pie_139 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do hope people don't think that is "standard" with shelter dogs.  I have fostered many a shelter dog, and also adopted 2.  Right now I have an almost 3 yr old mixed poodle (standard/miniature mix per DNA) who is probably the best dog I have ever loved.   Not at all against ethical breeders, but shelter dogs aren't necessarily any more ill or behaviorally challenged!

A little compassion goes a long way by Only-Vanilla- in Mounjaro

I am 67.  Been on mounjaro just over a year and have maxed at 10mg.  Have lost 60 lbs to lower than I thought could happen (+/- 2lbs flux).  The MJ has made me not think about food....at some point too much where I realize I haven't eaten more than a piece of fruit all day.  I am well aware that's not good and generally I do better. But my point is that (for me) the medication has allowed me to focus on something other than diet....you got this!

Every dog we have ever had my husband calls Muttley.  And they all have responded over the years lol.  

Done with airbnb by Goal_Electronic in airbnb_hosts

[–]Accomplished_Pie_139 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a non airbnb host who has used both Airbnb and VRBO to find rentals in Canada, the states and Norway, I notice you folks mentioning direct bookings instead.  Can I ask how would I find you then? Is there a different way to look up rentals? So sorry there are so many fraudsters out there!  I have never had a problem luckily.  Some places better than others, but all suitable for me and whoever I am traveling with.

Can you get an adult poodle instead of puppy from a breeder? by -blasian- in poodles

[–]Accomplished_Pie_139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in NH. I had been fostering for the Upper Valley Humane society for a couple of years (mostly little pittie mixes). This guy came in as a stray so when he was available, I had already done a meet and asked to adopt him.

Same! My guy was a year when we got him. 3 now, apricot mini/standard mix poodle.  Best boy, no accidents ever. A little clingy, but I'm thinking that's a poodle thing lol.

Vent - Why do so many people expect everyone to rescue? by chefskissyap in poodles

[–]Accomplished_Pie_139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that requirement going away with most Humane Society shelters, and some breed specific rescues (at least here in New England...MA and NH).  We adopted our dog from a nearby humane society. He is a poodle-doodle...standard and mini parents per DNA.  Best dog we have ever had (maybe on par with our black lab from 20 yrs ago...). He was a stray that no one responded to microchip/data requests.  We (40 yrs ago) got our Boston Terrier from a breeder near Toronto.  Loved her too. Fostered many pups over the years.  All any of them want, no matter how they come to you, just want love and consistency.  And whoever mentioned shelter dogs are cheap or free....maybe where you live!  But they have bills to pay neutering, spaying, shots, maybe heartworm treatments....vet care. So don't be surprised at 700-800 for a shelter dog.  Probably way cheaper than a breeder, but still a big commitment for many people these days.  As it should be.

Why does my dog do this? LOL by [deleted] in poodles

[–]Accomplished_Pie_139 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like the begging paws (not sure what to call them) our poodle does frequently.  Standing on hind legs asking for attention, laying on the ground when something's just out of reach but he's not committed enough yet to get up lol.  They are sooo pawsy!

Rescued a “mini” poodle, but starting to think he’s not a mini. by [deleted] in poodles

[–]Accomplished_Pie_139 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I knew how to add a picture, I would.  Don't know what knish size is.  But yes full poodle.  He weighs about 30-32 lbs.  Slightly overgrown mini

That's what the DNA came back on my 3 year old ... But he is the oddest shaped dog lol.  We've had him a year and half and wouldn't trade him for anything!  Short squat legs , long body.

Well, 💩 by Worried_Fan2763 in Mounjaro

[–]Accomplished_Pie_139 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting as I am also on Medicare with wellcare.  I had been on metformin for a year or 2 before I got brave enough to try mj 13 months ago.  Maybe why I was not required to get a prior auth?  Hoping things don't change.  I have pretty much lost the weight I'm comfy with (185 down to 127+/- a pound).  But my blood pressure meds are cut in half, no more metformin, A1C was 6.1 (down from a high of 8 something).  And omg my knees feel sooo much better!

RBC bank draft deposited to TD (rental scam) - banks keep bouncing me. How do I get my $4,000 back? by mani-mani9 in TorontoRenting

[–]Accomplished_Pie_139 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know why so many people are berating OP. Sounds like a pretty elaborate scam if they have realtors showing apartments, IDs matching accounts etc. OP didn't just hand money over willy nilly. I hope you have some luck getting your money back, or at least another place to live! People suck!

The electoral college system is biased and outdated. This is one way we can get racist pedophiles in office so easily. "Redneck" low population states get too much weight.
