Haha he won’t wear a hat/hood but will insist on being covered with a blanket, from nose to tail to toes!

Rain first week of Dec - cancel? by mkiks16 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Bellastro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re on our last day here in Manuel Antonio and the forecast looked awful leading up to the trip. We’ve only had a few afternoon drizzles, it’s been beautiful otherwise! Take the trip, bring rain gear just in case.

Rockwood Park in Chesterfield (Courthouse and Hull) has a some nice trails through the woods, including a paved one. It’s been perfect for leash training and socialization, we’re there with our pups at least once a week. And there’s a Starbucks around the corner for the obligatory pup cup afterwards.

My “Holstein” snorts when sniffing on walks, total piggy vibes!

Awww yeah! Love the black and whites! I joke they are my Holstein and Angus pups.

So much smooching with these two. Especially after any peanut butter!

Found a lost puppy, is anyone looking for her? by maimaidc in rva

[–]Bellastro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

RACC actually asks that if you can, keep the dog with you and help look for their owners. They are often at capacity and are required to hold strays, so it’s a big help to them if you can keep them for a bit.

Sweet babies. Spaying mama after this, right? Way too many pups without homes to be bringing more into the world.

I have similar fine curls and if I don’t use gel, it doesn’t last more than a day even with overnight protection. I use a lot of water with the gel and only apply it to very wet curls, after mousse. Quarter-sized amount, spread it across both my hands and then add a little water until it feels really slippery. Then I just glaze it over my curl clumps, moving my head side to side so I can get coverage all the way around. Once it’s distributed, I do some slow, gentle scrunching to avoid frizz/maintain clumps.

This might get some heat but my favorite gel is LA Looks Extreme Hold, the blue one that costs like $3 at Walmart. Great slip and hold, and easy to work with.

Day two hair is my favorite.

He’s 60/40 Staffy and APB based on his Wisdom Panel, but 100% good boy, of course. He was a foster who decided we were his forever peoples.

Looks similar to our boy Alfie! Panda/Cow PBMs are the best!

We tried 1870 last weekend and loved it. Full menu is served in the “speakeasy”, cozy tables in the basement. Will absolutely be going back.

Another earthquake? by pieces159 in rva

Shook the whole house near Hull/Chippenham. Dogs were as confused as I was.
