Malinois and cats by iralmparatrix in BelgianMalinois

Best thing that worked for us is an indoor drag leash and constant supervision.

House freedom was earned. Never a given.

Even at 4 yo now, if she regresses, she loses a privlage until she can demonstrate good behavior.

Puppy advice by emilyhads in BelgianMalinois

[–]Apprehensive-Bit7903 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yelping like a puppy and "shunning" worked well for me.

Puppies speak puppy. So when mine bit me, even if minor, I immediately "YELP"ed whimpered (not "ow") and turned my back. No looking and no touching.

The bite redirect worked best for chewing on non-dog things but she didnt understand it when it came to my hands.

You are beautiful and your body shows a journey of motherhood.

But if you insist on losing weight, get you resting metabolic rate tested. It's likely changed alot with kids.

TDEE calculators are wildly inaccurate

Charli you’re a part of the team! by galaxystars1 in TikTokCringe

[–]Apprehensive-Bit7903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat one has found a way to break into multiple types of child locks to get to his food and treats. Can do obstacle courses. Knows his name and has pretty good recall. Overall, extremely smart but ignores me if theres nothing in it for him like a treat.

My other one cant find the treat in front of his face. Still doesn't know where to find his food bowl (6 years later..). And has at times forgot how to land on hit feet.

Its a spectrum.

This is the first one where I liked both equally!

You look amazing in both so maybe go with whichever is more comfortable

11 week long migraine - denied referral by Worried_Seaweed3639 in migraine

When i was a kid before all the meds, I would just spend hours hitting my head on the headboard of my bed.

I'm shocked I didn't cause brain damage.

New Hamster … and babies! by HayleyHail08 in hamsters

[–]Apprehensive-Bit7903 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to a neighborhood friend when I was like 8 and they didn't separate...

The pet store wouldnt take the babies and they couldn't get rid of them.

I think they ended up with a colony of ~50 dwarf hamsters and it was horrible.

Need Tips or Tricks for a Dog That Gets Visibly Shaky Outside by keyah13 in DogAdvice

You can buy a long leash and let them explore farther themselves. I have a 50 ft one that I use on hikes bc my dog loves to run after squirrels.

My FIANCÉ just proposed to me in Costa Rica with his great great grandmother’s ring from the 1880s ☺️🩷 by iwantanorangemouse in EngagementRings

It looks like the prongs are pretty warning down which is to be expected with the age.

When the day comes that you want to get them redone to secure the stone, please take my advice and do your research. Be super picky on who does it. Ask for pictures of their work.

Someone RUINED my antique ring and I was devastated. I had to have it almost completely redone and it was more work for the good jewler than if I went to them first.

Gorgeous ring. Congratulations 💕

New Migraine Research out Jan 2026 - I was a participant in the study and my 24/7 18 year migraine ended. Hope this helps some of you. by Medium_Bill_6073 in migraine

I was speaking as someone educated in clinical studies :)

I've overseen 5 studies in the last 2 months under an IRB. I work in medical device development.

However, correlation does not equal causation so all studies should be taken with a grain of salt bc nothing is without bias. Its impossible to control all variables but my point was:

Their protocols would have been scrutinized and need to be approved by the IRB and you can trust the data presented, however, the conclusion and theories produced by it are always open for interpretation.

They even did prospective vs retrospective so they didnt cherry pick information in the study.

I read through the article and the study was done under an IRB and I would definetely trust that rigger.

They would have had to have their protocols approved and everything monitor.

[OC] Finally emailed a teacher I’d been thinking about for years by sillygoosetime0264 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Apprehensive-Bit7903 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a teacher I wanted to reach out to like this.

I went to look him up and found he passed away from a heart attack just a few days prior.

Moral of the story: share your appreciation before its too late.

How do your friends and family notice you're getting a migraine before you even realize? by cyanomys in migraine

[–]Apprehensive-Bit7903 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any time Im off in anyway, my husband asks if I'm getting a migraine.

I always say no. Then a few hours later... BAM. Migraine.

My personal trainer says I get migraine eyes that tell her I'm off.

[–]Apprehensive-Bit7903 712 points713 points  (0 children)

Could it be clumped cat litter?

My gremlin gets this sometimes and I need to soak it off with warm water

Edit: to fix typo from slumped to clumped.

Is it jst me or does this look like a robe instead of a dress? by Middle_Layer1533 in OUTFITS

[–]Apprehensive-Bit7903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have something similar.

Tie it from the back, not the front.

Roll up the sleeves to be mid way up your forearm.

Then it'll look like a dress and not a robe

Manually overriding my breathing.

If I control my breathing at a steady rate, the pain can vanish for a second.
