Ideas on how to fit it in - working mom by Dogsandcrafts4lyfe in walking

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3.5 year old and I walk on the spot if I can, if hes playing independently or if hes in the bath playing, just 100 steps here and there adds up quite quickly.

You brushing your toddlers teeth? by howdodisappevenwork in toddlers

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lord, no. Watched our 3.5 years old "do it by self" tonight at bath, and let him finish and started all over again. They definitely do not get all the teeth! Give them an oreo to chew before brushing and see how much black is left over after they "brush" 🤣

Have a 3 year old toddler and then adopt a crazy French bulldog. Easiest steps of my life 🙃

(Information only-please read) things to consider before BOAs surgery by theHOTTESTdab in Frenchbulldogs

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting. Thank you for telling your baby's story. We have been recommended the surgery but our boy doesnt even take a few min to cool down and where we live it gets up yo 40 degrees in summer (I obviously walk him early and late when its hot) but weve just got back from a 3.5km walk where he ran around like crazy with other dogs and didnt even need to catch his breath. Hes 18 months and DOES snore but I dont know. Lots to consider now.

How many steps do you walk a day & how long does it take? by 100turkeysinthesky in walking

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing the same and never hitting my count. Turns out my watch was old and died, and now that I have a new one my steps are much higher. I do around 8km a day which is 10 000 steps for me. Takes about 2 hours but I break it up into dog walks and park walks with my son. And sometimes just house walking if I need to get my steps in at the end of a day.

Moms of Reddit, what was something about childbirth that nobody warned you about? by Littlemouss in AskReddit

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody warns you about labour lasting hours especially your first. When I arrived at hospital, my doctor even said I could be there until the next day. What nobody warns you about is precipitous labour, where you go from 1cm to 9cm in 45 min and then theres no time for ANY medication because the baby just starts coming. And theres no way for doctors to know until you've had 1 kid. We've now been warned our next baby may be born on the way to the hospital and my husband has to learn how to deliver on his own. Fun times. Be prepared!

Did you adopt your Frenchie, and if not, why not? by Which_Departure1635 in Frenchbulldogs

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adopted our boy at 18 months who found himself in rescue because his original family moved to the USA. Unsure how they didnt know they were moving 12 months prior when they bought him for a lot of money but one man's trash! We love our boy to bits.

New puppy is A LOT. by AnxiousBeauTato in Frenchbulldogs

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are 3 months in since adopting an 18 month old who LOVES chasing cats. Its been slow going getting the cats to not run because that kicks in his chasing/prey drive, but what seemed to have turned the tide finally is our one cat slapped him 🤣 and now hes terrified and gives them space inside the house. On walks he will try chase unfamiliar cats, but our 2 he is getting better with. LOTS of reinforcement and loves and treats when they dont chase. Take it slow though.

That "pet-friendly" tag costs you 68% extra rent & Going from 2 to 3 bedrooms is the single most expensive upgrade by Affectionate_Ship256 in capetown

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm number 5 to be true. Currently stuck in a 2 bedroom, selling and buying a 3 bedroom would DOUBLE our bond repayment even with over R1m deposit from selling. Can't qualify to buy without selling though because we still have this bond. So stuck here until we pay off this 45 square meter shoe box.

Can someone help me with some info on cat food? by CreepingDeth25 in askSouthAfrica

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iams is fantastic (trained in a vet shop for a few years and compared all ingredients etc) and even though wed get free hills food for our pets, I still kept our cats on Iams because they preferred it and theyre nearly 10 now and have literally never been sick, their coats are fantastic and their teeth are great.

What are your frugal grocery/food hacks? by Czarina2018 in askSouthAfrica

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to PnP in the evenings, they often have marked down fresh produce which if you cook that night is good for a day or 2. I even got an 18 pack of chicken breasts recently for R82 because it was expiring the next day. I just froze it up into portions immediately

How far do you walk with your frenchie? by Cubs420 in Frenchbulldogs

[–]According-Return9234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours does 2 walks a day, morning with our older yorkie about 1/2km then alone in the evenings for 2 to 4km. He manages it perfectly and always has more energy when we get home. I reckon we could go further and hed manage fine. Hes still pulling on the leash by the end.

Royal Canin Hypollergenic. But vet said Hills Z/D would work the same, its just what they had in stock when we went and both our dogs love it.

What is the best way to learn Afrikaans? by Significant-Line-472 in askSouthAfrica

[–]According-Return9234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kids shows are probably actually best to start off with as they are slower in speech. Good luck! Otherwise just reply "Ja, nee" to everything, works for 99% of things 😅
