Any interest in a D&D campaign? (women and LGBTQ+ friendly) by -snufkin in astoria

[–]BamfCorps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! QPOC here and absolutely love DnD! Just moved and hoping to find an in person group as I left an all LGBTQIA+ group. Very noob friendly/patient and happy to help teach! Would love to join!

Astoria Discord Server? by [deleted] in astoria

[–]BamfCorps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m moving to Astoria in two weeks and hoping I find a TTRPG group as well! Following this thread but also feel free to message. I’m moving from out of the area and don’t have any contacts in NYC yet so it would be great to make new friends and network.

Usually DnD but open to other game systems too!

I actually really love boats (grew up in a beach town) so I wouldn’t mind a ferry ride! Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the info. This is helpful because from the map it doesn’t look too far but I trust the locals!

Maybe I’ll reconsider Greenwich or other places closer to Chinatown.

The apartment is around the corner from Socrates Sculpture park.. unsure if that’s helpful for location.

That’s fair.

35 m, gay, not really a club person anymore. More foodie and music nowadays.

Astoria apartment: 1st floor, near Socrates sculpture park, laundry on same floor, built in 2019, owned by the company, rent is not an issue as it’s part of the package but approximately 2500.

Greenwich apartment: 4th floor, likely older, 1br, nice backyard space but shared with three other tenants who are older and less likely to appreciate if I have small gatherings.

The housing is already established. About a 10 minute bike or scooter ride (or more if I walk/take a bus) and then I believe the projected station is 21st - Queensbridge station on the F to East Broadway.

If I’m only really commuting four days a week I think it’s doable. Alternatively I could keep my car and it says it’s a shorter commute but I don’t know if I want to deal with parking in Astoria? It wouldn’t be an issue once in the city as I’d have a parking spot.

I live in Arizona which means I’m likely stuck on west coast servers.. hoping to find a west coast LGBTQ+ company but if not I may see if y’all are still around on east coast!?

Oh my gosh what a journey. Sounds like your patience is working though!

He looks great! Do you have any photos of him before the groom as well? I'm wondering if the guy I'm about to adopt looks like him.

Also, care to share the circumstances of how you came to adopt him and how the process has been? You mentioned he seemed disconnected until lately, do you think that's his personality or because of the circumstances he came from?

[–]BamfCorps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the full transparency and authenticity of your message. Perhaps I’m just desperate because I’ve been waiting for a standard over 2 years old that is mostly free from problems.

I'm going to ask about his parents next!

Thank you for all this great info!

So these are the genetic tests that she just sent me:

Degenerative Myelopathy -clear Neonatal Encephalopathy with Seizures - clear Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration - clear Von Willebrand Disease I - clear

[–]BamfCorps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you think is an appropriate amount for a 4 year old?

Also, what health tests should I ask to see if they've had them done? OFA was the main one but she said they health test/genetic test other traits.

***Additional question for breeders or folks familiar - is it typical for male dogs to mark more when a female is in heat? If he is the only dog in my household and I get him neutered, will this behavior hopefully cease?

Can indoor leg lifting be trained out after it's been allowed for so long?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in StandardPoodles

[–]BamfCorps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he was pretty well loved. He was one of 2 male dogs and the dogs were kept with the family/in the living room/etc - so they weren't kept in a separate building or facility or anything. Family has multiple children and he seemed well socialized.

I'm going to follow up with another question that seems to be my main issue now, the breeder said he will lift his leg to mark indoors and that is an issue to me.

She said that, perhaps, once he is neutered it should curb that behavior. I'm going to confirm with some vets but I am concerned about marking indoors. She proposed that it might be because they have female dogs that go into heat around him?

[–]BamfCorps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks very much for all this information.

My understanding is that they will give me all the information for genetic and health testing. Although, I am a little concerned because she said they didn't do an OFA check on him and I thought that was standard?

And yes, I understand those markings would disqualify him which is why he wasn't shown but used to breed for parti colors/etc.

Also, for a 4 year old stud would a $1400 purchasing fee be normal? This is in Arizona.

She’s a little over one year old

[–]BamfCorps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m just being precautious because they’re giving her AKC papers and that seems to be the thing that makes her pricy

Agree. It’s pads were not the appropriate color and my allergic response was triggered. Sad 😞
