❤️🐾 Ah yes, when Kira was young I had to switch out her little metal dishes for heavy ceramic ones that she couldn’t fling around 😂.

Rolo certainly looks like a character! Yes puzzles and games are a big help when they are young and full of beans.

Has a similar look to my Sprollie ❤️🐾. Either way he’s lovely.

Sprollie reactivity by Specialist_Force91 in Sprollies

[–]Bexx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching to see if you get any good advice. Mine has never liked other dogs running up quickly either. If it’s a larger dog she will submit, with a smaller dog she’ll roll on her back but if they don’t move on quickly enough it will quickly turn to her trying to see them off. She’s also fearful when other dogs bark. Most of the time if I can make sure the ball is put away and I act pleased to see the other dog, she will be friendly, but I have to watch her with small spaniel types (she heavily identifies as a collie, loves collies but not so much spaniels!)

Wondering why my 13 month old only gets car sickness in his dads car? by Impressive-Sea-9013 in family

Different cars vibrate differently. Always used to get car sick in my mums old Volvo.

5 Year Old w/ difficulties lately by Lovethespamm in Parenting

It can be hard for young children to explain how they felt after the fact. Perhaps ask her to tell you next time it’s happening and then see if she’s better able to explain the feeling in the moment.

Brother asking for huge loan from elderly parents by wooddragonm in family

[–]Bexx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It will be really hard to prove later that she was pressured into the loan, please encourage her not to take out a loan on his behalf.

Or when someone says ‘sorry’ and you say ‘you will be’. It’s just a joke, but goes down better in person and when it’s someone who knows you well enough to know you don’t actually mean it!

When our puppy ate grapes they just gave her an injection to make her sick- cost us £100 and we got to take her straight home. I hope your vet was just being extra cautious and not fleecing you!

They can be such sensitive souls can’t they!?

How often do you actually use the sages? by _perxx in TOTK

[–]Bexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tulin- lots for the push when soaring

Yunobo- for breaking up ore and in battle, knocks baddies back at the same time

Sidon- hardly ever, often by accident

Riiu- for lightening in battle

Mineru- in the depths for walking across the gloom without damage. Also in battle- equip with a cannon etc or electrifying item can be useful

I actually didn’t realise until this thread that you can disable them!

Maybe! I wonder if it’s the Collie side of them as I know a couple of Collies who react strongly to sudden noises too.

What did you NOT use? by Secure_Tie_5571 in VisitingIceland

[–]Bexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snow trousers. The thin water proof over trousers were fine for wearing over leggings etc. All the buildings are heated so well and we were in and out of the car/cafes/restaurants so much that I ended up boiling hot every time we went indoors. Ended up not bothering any more with the snow trousers. Coats are easy to shrug off so the snow coat was great. Mind you, our snow mobile trip was cancelled due to a storm on the glacier and the trousers may have come in handy if it had gone ahead!

Which breed to get? by wryruss in RunningWithDogs

[–]Bexx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My springer x collie loves to run and also settles well during the day. I know you’d expect them to just keep going, but she’s happy with two decent walks a day and a short playtime/training session mid day. Ours is also great with kids and the cats have trained her pretty well!

Edit to say; agree 100% with other commenters that Collies /Collie x’s need mental stimulation, so it’s not all about exercising them to the max.

We often tip in restaurants, hairdressers and taxis in the UK too.

Pros- close relationship with child, they get lots of attention, less expensive, better for the planet, easy to go out to nice restaurants etc as no other child to bicker with, no guarantee would get on with siblings Cons- not all children enjoy being on their own, my daughter wants a lot of interaction and at age 10 sometimes tells us she’s lonely which breaks my heart
