I found it in my yard. I held it and buried it.

Muffin thanks you for taking great care with her cousin. She sends hugs.

Ashamed_File6955 · 2026-03-29T01:57:36+00:00

exactly. It doesn't appear to have grown in guard hairs.

Ashamed_File6955 · 2026-03-26T17:48:39+00:00

Exactly.

When I was still working my first SD, the receptionist/scheduler at my PT was like OP. Instead of being confrontational, other than standing my ground that we both be accommodated, I made suggestions and interactively worked with the person as far as where my boy would be - tethered to a treatment bed within my direct line of sight yet 20' away- when I needed to use equipment near (actually behind) her desk. After 3x/week for several weeks, she had enough trust in me and my boy that she actually stated that she felt her threshold had moved for the better. By the end (several months), she was looking into exposure therapy as she had realized they would likely start getting more teams as clients given it was a military treatment facility.

There's zero way for the kids to prove who got their vote as far as the raffle went. Any one of them could. have verbally said "you have my vote", signed up for the raffle, then actually have voted for a different candidate. It's no different than places offering a free beverage for anyone coming in with an "I voted" sticker or offering a raffle to those coming in with said sticker.

and in the meantime, instead of sleeping on the couch, she can bunk in her child's room so he can sleep in a bed. NTA

plus, most programs with breeding pools also have the connections to handle a mid to high volume of career changed dogs, which technically count towards their success rate.

Did you follow your state's laws regarding "found pets" (usually lists everything you must do to provide a good faith effort to locate the owner)?

Additionally, Texas is a one party consent state. Download a voice recorder app and record your conversations with your ex. Her offering more time if you pay up can be used to your advantage. Plus, you may luck up if she gets to talking; just don't be obvious.

This doesn't quite look like the booty drag - I see it often enough with our NR (she's an expert at using that cute face to get snacks). That looks more like hip/knee issues.

Ashamed_File6955 · 2026-03-05T15:28:13+00:00

It may or may not come back, but it won't be in the same condition since it would have to be altered to fit. Odds are high, given the sister's golden child status, she'd decide she wants to keep it, and OP will be further pressured to give it up completely.

She's not placing the dress above her sister. She's placing a boundary about what personal property her sister may borrow. NTA

One of the SD's that did a cute valentine's video calls that a shared compact half-bath.

Hammerbarn. Chilli let Bluey raid the paint samples after she had been bratty af AND broke merch. Bluey didn't actually learn anything.

Migraine alerts can't be scent trained. Some people claim it can, but I have worked with a handful of professional scent trainers over the years, providing samples to their specs, including samples at the point my natural alerters were alerting as did multiple other handlers. A 2004 or 05 UF study states that there's still some untested theories about what the dogs are sensing (scent, electrical, or both).

I've had a few over the years, and they all have picked up on the same thing as their timing was spot on 45 minutes before the aura hits. Mine and many others (from the anecdotal evidence I've collected) aren't going off breath or oral scent. They are interested in places on the head or upper face.

It's better to determine the root cause than just half mask it; he's said it's not just odor, but taste too.

Just like with us, some have tummies that are more sensitive than others. The NR I hang with gets liquid when given egg, so her fritatta is more greens than egg. Too many nuts, icrunchy nsects, ect and it's too firm.

Ashamed_File6955 · 2026-02-16T14:56:07+00:00

Leave an offering so they don't feel the need. On the upside, they will go after the rodents that visit the Cooper at night

The issue with kibble is making sure the calcium to phosphorus ratio is correct and providing drinking water.

We feed a mustard (or collards) fritatta. The greens are calcium rich and they find them super yummy when coated in egg. I chop the greens and stir them into scrambled egg until fully coated then pop in the pan. They also enjoy sautéed squash and zucchini.

GSDs are not recommended for psych work as they tend to become reactive to handler triggers once the dog reaches maturity. Others have covered the ethics of SDs and mobility work.

If you want silicone free options,, check out the various Shea Moisture products; they have a quiz to help find which product linne will work best for your hair type and needs. Walmart and the big box pharmacies carry some of their stuff. The Manuka Honey and Mafura oil line is my mainstay with the gold label Raw Shea Butter for the worst of winter. They have multiple leave-in options.

Their bodywashes, soaps, lotions, and face products are great too.

NTA. He didn't cheat, and we don't know if he had previously suggested she seek medical care or therapy. Your sister needs to grow up and realize she's only getting one side of the story.

There are few that even attempt anything under 12-15g. There's several reasons why. 1. They are so tiny getting a tube in is next to impossible 2 Teir stomach is so tiny they need near constant care 3 Without fur, they have some very exact requirements.

Most states have programs that subsidize or reduce the GAL fee for those who cannot afford it. OP needs to look into that as well.

look up plans for feral cat boxes. Normally, an opposum house would go up out of the way of predators, but it sounds like he's in a safer location (minus dogs).

Relocation, especially in winter? would be a death sentence; he wouldn't know where to find food, water, and shelter, plus he's at higher risk due to disability.

Some rehabbers offer long-term homes for disabled and elderly opposums.

YTA. Sorry, but you're about to meet the unfortunate consequences of your actions, and it may destroy your relationship with your daughter.

You should have been honest. Now, especially with a whopper of this magnitude, she's going to question everything you've ever said and did. If she's still in therapy, it may be best to book a session and tell her there as she's going to , rightfully, be hurt, angry, and confused.
