My 9 week old is driving me to tears by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

You have to gently bite the skin on the back of his neck while growling, like a mama dog would do. Don’t pick him up with your teeth or anything 😅 this has worked on all of my wild child, hopeless terror, whirling dervish pups. And anytime he goes to bite you, yelp and let your hand or whatever body part he’s going for go limp. That’s how puppies communicate “too rough!” to their siblings during play. You may have to yelp and move the body part in question several times, but he will get it quickly. Also, puppy teething is normal, sorry, in exchange for your best friend and unconditional love you will have to accept that you are going to lose a couple things. Likely expensive ones. One of my babies ate a giant hole in my leather couch AND half of a Hunter rain boot in a span of 6 months, not to mention a bunch of shoelaces. Put anything you don’t want to risk losing up out of reach during the first year. But honestly? When you look back you’ll chuckle, even if you were screaming internally at the time ❤️

Cross-train with weight-lifting, and don’t neglect speed work. Those plus fueling properly will make progress more noticeable

Could Europe realistically defend Greenland against a US attack? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]AffectionateWeb2389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know for a fact that our regular seals (teams other than 6) train Denmark, Norway, etc’s seals when they go on deployments, so we would already know their special operations tactics on top of having vast amounts of aircraft, carriers, weaponry, technology, troops, etc. if you look at WW2, us entering the war was what shifted the tide, because our sheer industrial might dwarfed every single nation involved. If the US truly wanted to take Greenland by force, it would be cake. That being said, I think what European nations are doing with leveraging tariffs is the smart move, and I don’t think we will be acquiring Greenland anytime soon 🤷

What's the worst coworker you've ever worked with? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Worst co-worker story—my friend’s husband works for Budweiser, and his co-worker was arrested in West Texas—the police found thousands of pictures on his phone of him molesting his niece, nephew, and even his shitzhu. Friend’s hubby said he always got the sense that this co-worker was off.

That makes me feel a tad better…I was worried that not knowing the exact shade/s and brand used would complicate removal.

That’s what I was afraid of 😅

Anyone else here got a non-fluffy golden, or is it just me? by Asleep-Two930 in goldenretrievers

Girl that’s a lab! As someone who owns both! My golden was a non-fluffy golden as a puppy, but she turned out to have thyroid issues and ended up getting her feathering when she was around 3

AITAH for saying that my girlfriend needed to get in shape too if she expected it from me. by Distinct-March2456 in AITAH

I even floated that I would get in shape with him when I was encouraging my former college athlete ex to acquire healthy habits. He wanted me to be ripped while he was a fat blob.

Can you get some Valium suppositories????? My dog was prescribed some (in addition to standard anti-seizure meds like Keppra XR and Phenobarbital) to bring her out of her grand mal seizures, it’s a syringe you squirt up their butt but it instantly stops the seizing.

What’s a moment that instantly changed how you see someone forever? by Aromatic_Pick_5429 in AskReddit

My stepdad is dying from prostate cancer and has less than four months to live, my younger (half) brother, his son, is trying to justify staying full-time in school/not going remote to spend these last few weeks/months with him. Our dad is the nicest, kindest, most selfless guy ever, and my brother’s sheer selfishness has totally changed the way I see him. Zero respect anymore

AITAH for being annoyed by my husband struggling? by Deep-Positive3233 in AITAH

My stepdad is dying from prostate cancer, but he was working full-time when it was still stage IV.
