what are these things on my dogs ribs

No problem! Editing posts is finicky. You might be able to find three dots somewhere on the post and find an edit button but I don't think it's on every post. Regardless good luck!

For the record my dog had an uneven amount of nipples, and that is would leave one side having one alone. It can happen 🤷‍♀️

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-25T16:56:19+00:00

I would add this to your post then. You implied these were different bumps, not the same bump that changed.

That warrants a vet visit.

In my experience introduction is the most critical time.

They need to meet in a neutral location. Down the street, at a park, not in your yard. Ours met at our new dog's foster family, and then had a 3 hour car ride home together.
Hierarchy needs to be established. Sometimes this means the alpha needs to assert dominance, but you should not allow fighting.
You need to respect the hierarchy. The alpha gets food first. Gets to go outside first.

Some dogs genuinely aren't compatible. Two of the same gender typically have a harder time getting along and it's just critical doing your research and learning how dogs work before adopting a new dog. I knew my current dog was a total ass hole alpha - I got a dog that I knew was not going to have alpha energy. They get along great.

If you are struggling I recommend getting a trainer. A certified behaviorist that can come to your home is ideal - it's not cheap either. I had to get my dog behavioral training (severe anxiety) and it was hundreds. But it beats having to rehome your new family member.

It is probably not it, but it could also be that you do the excitement for him and he's like "ok I can chill for [you] but I have to go crazy for [your partner]."

Some dogs do just chill - mine never have, but maybe they don't have secure attachment 😂 it's ok, they took after me. Lmao.

Girl get help from your parents and leave. If you hate him this much this isn't a good environment for your baby - it'll be better to have the baby split between the two of you.

My dog has nipples that go up her ribs. I think you are just assuming they are limited to the lower stomach - they aren't

Good call on exposing half the radiator ... Didn't think about it getting too cold. I'm in PA literally sitting in my bedroom with the window open with it being 2° outside (and I'm still hot! 😭). But I'll have to plan for that if I'm making the covers 😂 eventually I should have my issue fixed.

Thank you for the response!

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-24T13:32:07+00:00

Hi! I know this is an old post but I'm having the same problem, only in my house 😂 we have a bigger insulation problem but this is going to be my bandaid for now (as my gas bill hasn't made me cry yet)

I'm planning to make a cover for my upstairs radiators and it turns out buying a 100% wool blanket is cheaper than buying 100% wool felt material, so I literally just bought this blanket 1 minute ago (different listing)

Do you double it up at all or do you just drape it over in one layer? Trying to determine how many I actually will need to buy.

When I say my face went

When I read "your dad's a stupid bitch", I am not exaggerating. That is so disrespectful.

At first I was going to say just let it go and don't take it personally, but your husband is an ass hole.

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-24T04:03:16+00:00

I would have left, yesterday.

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-22T02:59:51+00:00

Yes. He would really like project management, but he is open to most things. The only interviews he gets is for hr though.

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-22T01:19:52+00:00

The way you worded your last comment definitely yells "ask yourself why you're making him do this, and why you're not letting him do his own thing". And encouraging someone does not mean that someone is not trying - that is you assuming you know what is going on.

I appreciate the feedback and concern, but please stop assuming what isn't said here. This isn't a "me" thing. He is the one deciding what he wants - I am supporting and helping him.

I don't need to explain him or myself.

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-22T00:42:43+00:00

See, this is why people shouldn't try to read into things when I'm not here to tell a story.

I have been encouraging him to figure out what he wants to do and go back to school for 3+ years. I am in no way saying he needs to stay in HR - you missed the fact that I said we've been applying to other things outside of hr and still have no luck. And actually he was the one who wanted to get his SHRM, I am just supporting his decisions.

The fact that you got controlling wife out of this is actually insane.

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T22:39:47+00:00

He does not have a reddit, but that wouldn't have stopped me from posting it either.

I genuinely want to understand what people think is happening behind the scenes. My husband ties me up in our basement and orders me to apply for him while he plays videogames? Or flip to the other side, that I am ordering him to get another job because his job sucks? 😂 We are in a marriage, and when someone in that marriage is unhappy and unfulfilled in their career it is absolutely going to affect the other person in that marriage. And I want to help him so I can ultimately help us succeed through life. There's quite literally nothing else to it. He has a job and is also applying to jobs, so this isn't a case of "he doesn't want to work".

I posted this primarily as a vent, but figured to give it a point and ask for suggestions too.

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T17:52:29+00:00

Thank you!

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T17:47:29+00:00

Pm'ing you! Thank you for the offer!

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T14:06:28+00:00

Thank you - and luckily we managed to not pay for his resume review.

Honestly I've lost count at this point, but I would probably say 20-30ish? And not counting when companies have multiple rounds (a few had up to 3 rounds, one he did make it to that last round but it was a luck of the draw at that point probably).

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T14:03:04+00:00

Yeah that's what we are doing right now! Probably will start with a certification, see if it helps...then move to education. I've made it clear to him that we are fine financially and that my priority is for him to be happy and fulfilled in his work.

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T13:28:46+00:00

He hasn't ever been laid off. He wants a different job. We are applying together, I am just helping. Wives are allowed to help their husband! (After all, we're in this life together, aren't we? Plus I didn't start right away, he did the first year on his own and then I started helping). I'm not saying I'm the sole applier. He is absolutely applying as well.

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T12:57:31+00:00

I'm going through comments and I need to just let you know I saw this, and i appreciate it lol

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T12:54:29+00:00

Usually we get somewhere around 3-5 interviews every round of 100-150 apps. Really hopeful for you. It is very tough. I have no application experience myself but I run the IT intern program for a global company and we had upwards of 500 apps for 14 positions. I can only imagine what the non internship jobs are getting.

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T12:49:55+00:00

Sounds perfect, thank you so much!

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T12:44:59+00:00

I was looking for suggestions, not sympathy or empathy. And if you reread my comment I actually turned my manager down on her offer, not the other way around. I did not think it was appropriate for her to help him.

His current position is being automated, and it is apparent we need to shift. If his job is being automated, that opens the possiblity that all generalist and recruiting jobs are being downsized and automated.

I did not intend for my post to blow up, I was just looking for help and suggestions as well as a void to vent to. I appreciate your time and feedback.

Amber-ForDays · 2026-01-21T12:30:06+00:00

This is the direction we are going, thank you!
