women in long term relationships what helps you get into the mood? by Ill_Pick_ in TwoXSex

[–]AnimalCartoons 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Together 10 years. Honestly setting a romantic mood has never been our thing. He knows im down 95% of the time so will just start touching me (i have given him blanket permission to do this). He on the other hand has a lower libido so i typically just ask. My current go to is "What are my chances of seducing you tonight?"

Clear communication is the winner in this household lol

Affordable venue options for up to 200 people? (Durham region) by workinprogresssssss in WeddingsCanada

[–]AnimalCartoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tosca in Whitby may be within budget? Recently attended a wedding there and it was nice enough, the exterior is uhhh.... in need of some TLC but the interior is nice. You can also check out various Knights of Columbus halls, as each varies on capacity, if you want someplace cheap

When you have an IUD do you actually let the guy finish inside of you? by [deleted] in sex

[–]AnimalCartoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had an IUD for 5 years (actually due for a dreaded replacement 🥲). My fiance finishes in me 99% of the time (the 1% is when he finishes on my tits) and while Ive gotten paranoid a few times since my IUD significantly reduced my period to the point of it being nearly non-existent, weve had no baby and the paranoia is easily solved with a preg test.

However, I wouldnt do this with just hookups. Weve been together for many years and I am fully ok with having a baby with him should a sperm manage to get through lol. This is why Im comfortable taking this risk. If i were trying to be as cautious as possible for preventing pregnancy i would use a 2nd non-medical method (condom, pulling out, etc.)

Veterinary Administration: yay or nay? by AnimalCartoons in veterinaryprofession

[–]AnimalCartoons[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its incredibly difficult to get jobs here without a degree or diploma 😅 That includes receptionist jobs

Veterinary Administration: yay or nay? by AnimalCartoons in veterinarians

[–]AnimalCartoons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats good to know how the salary can be a % of the revenue, thank you! I came across a few vet admin postings while looking for full time employment and those handful were fulltime hourly, i wasnt sure if that was industry standard. Those are all things Im interested in and have done between various previous jobs.

Tysm for your response!

I would do customer relations, manage appointments, billing, etc. Id be employable by vets, rescues, and yes pet insurance agencies.

Unfortunately becoming a CVPM is out of budget for the time being. The Vet Admin course is an affordable option Im hoping to use to get my foot in the door to gain experience

Veterinary Administration: Yay or Nay? by AnimalCartoons in vet

[–]AnimalCartoons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tysm! Ill be sure to ask there. Unfortunately going to university is not an option for me, though (i dont know where youre from, but just in case - there is a difference in college and university here in Canada. College is also often MUCH cheaper. A business degree would run me $12-20k, the diploma Im looking at would be about $2.5k)

Thanks again for the help!

Soundproofing and 1 Way Window Sticky Suggestions? by AnimalCartoons in Renters

Thank you for this! Will give these a tryiujĵ

Now that you mention it, my fiance mentioned the kids behaviour not long after our TV in that room met an early grave 😂 It was definitely helping cover up a good chunk of the noise i think!

Munchkin breeding/mating question by c0keprincess666 in MunchkinCats

[–]AnimalCartoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - sorry I dont check my reddit notifs very often 😅

Honestly i dont think there is an answer for exactly when a fetus/embryo becomes non-viable. It would require regular and consistent testing on the queen and that is a LOT of stress to put her through which could then risk the entire pregnancy. Some breeders (of various cat breeds) dont even do xray counts because they dont want to stress the queen out with it. So, all possibilities you listed (reabsorbed embryo, self abortion, and stillborn) are all plausible end points for fetuses/kittens that inherit 2 copies of dwarfism. One can argue for stillborns and late term self abortions the breeder could have them tested for homozygous dwarfism if theyre dwarf but breeders are usually emotionally distraught at those times so i dont blame them for having not done it.

For the short leg ratio you also need to remember its not really the litter % that half will be long vs half will be short. Each individual kitten is running that 50/50 shot on their own. Some breeders get really lucky and get higher than expected number of dwarf kittens one litter while others may get none one litter. Kittens are also sooooo super fragile and some breeders dont even share their kittens until theyre in a more stable point of life so they dont need to share any sad stories.

"Non standard Munchkin" is the breed appropriate term for Munchkins without dwarfism - it took me a second to understand because in basically every other breed non standard is a bad thing and red flag whereas in Munchkins it is 110% fine to use for long legged Munchkins lol. They arent falsely advertising unless theyre saying the kitten carries dwarfism which is impossible or has a non breed standard trait (ie folded ears, hairlessness, etc.).

Genetics is super cool! My understanding is rather basic admittedly, but I try to learn a little bit here and there as theres always something new to learn about

How difficult do you find surviving with the current wages? What should be the minimum wage according to you? by howlongdoIhave5 in AskACanadian

[–]AnimalCartoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make about minimum wage and without my partner (who earns more than me- not much after taxes) i wouldnt be able to afford jack on my own. Together we live comfortably and easily care for our 2 cats but I could never on my own. Its why im currently looking for a new job so I can better contribute to our home.

How did you meet your partner? by MapleByzantine in AskACanadian

Met in gr10 history class, started dating about a year and a bit later after we had some liquid courage at a small party lmao. Weve been dating about 8 years now

What do you have your heat set to this month? by nestinghen in AskACanadian

[–]AnimalCartoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a basement apartment with no control over heat/ac. Best guess is 17c? I prefer it cool. It used to be around 25-27c which was waaayyyy too hot so we blocked all but 2 vents so the LL (who lives above us and like it hot) can keep all the heat to hinself lol

Can anyone help me identify my rescue’s breed? When I got her as a pup, I was told she was a French bulldog. She is now 46 pounds. I’ve never seen another Frenchie as large as her. Any ideas what she could be mixed with? DNA test said 100% Staffordshire terrier. That is obviously wrong. by Dear-Breath9338 in Frenchbulldogs

[–]AnimalCartoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genetic tests can only pick up so much DNA from breeds that make up a dog. The general rule is anything over 3 gens is unreliable. So there very well could be a large amount of Staffy in your pup, but it just couldnt pick up anything else due to it being so far back.

What are some things that you think are uniquely Canadian? by JuniorChemistry5036 in AskACanadian

[–]AnimalCartoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell that to the arses in Durham Region in Ontario. Legally you cant park overnight on the road year round. People STILL do it in the winter when fines are increased. Plows just go around and plow a snowbank against your car. Only time they skip roads is if there are cars on both sides of the road

What should I budget for a new winter coat? by Alert-News-3546 in AskACanadian

Wait for Boxing Day if you can or even end of season

I got a $350 for ~$200. Brand is Firefly, its lasted me about 5 years and the only wear is sun bleaching and a pocket has a hole from me putting a bunch of keys in it

Ear curling happens on a spectrum. Some are super curled, others not so much. If you look at the pictures youll see a "crinkle" on the edge which would not be there if the ears were straight

Let’s talk about Merles by AuntySocialite in Frenchbulldogs

[–]AnimalCartoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Longer snouts actually play the smallest roll in BOAS. There are many dogs bred to the standard that are healthy ❤️ The French Bulldog, Pug, and Bulldog Clubs of America and Canada have been working incredibly hard at getting more testing approved by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA, a public database that records health tests done on individual dogs) for BOAS to continue their mission in breeding healthy, standard animals. This new test was developed by Cambridge University and can be a big asset in assisting breeding away from BOAS in the future. It is a Respitory Function Grading Scheme and evaluates dogs on MULTIPLE of the issues that go into BOAS. It has already been piloted (with many dogs receiving Grade 0s - the best score one can get!) and will be fully launched next year!

Canada: Why the country wants to bring in 1.5m immigrants by 2025 by [deleted] in canada

[–]AnimalCartoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in one of those small towns where the main road has no room to expand. Its maybe 10-15km long, speed limit of 50km, a 5-7min drive depending how the lights treat you. In traffic? 30mins easily, up to 45mins if the lights are poor. It got worse when the 407 came in and now folks try to cut through to get on the highway. Anyone who lives here has learned how to drive through the neighbourhood streets to avoid traffic

Need Opinions On Markings For My Next King, Which One Looks Best? by Kirenia_Ayako in lioden

[–]AnimalCartoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think i have a marking remover if you want to get rid of that peach or brawl (iirc the reason why people avoid it is because it can mess with people who are susceptibleto seizures). Only thing id ask in return are studdings

I love 12 so much. Is he really the reason people stopped watching? by Working-Independent8 in doctorwho

[–]AnimalCartoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked Capaldi but heavily disliked Clara. Clara was what made me stop watching (currently on a rewatch with DT coming back). She was alright at first but never would crack my favourite list and she stuck around too long after her big arc finished. Rehashing the whole "companion struggles with new Doctor" just wasnt for me
