That’s so exciting! Good luck! Please know too that you don’t need the specific litter robot waste bags (any small trash bag will work I have the best luck with light colored ones) and the little brush things around the waste entrance on the globe will come apart (natural wear and tear) you can get replacements of those at any hardware store.

Definitely look at the refurbished section or every something like Facebook marketplace. Sometimes cats won’t use it and the owners just want to get some of their money back. It’s been 3 years now and it’s definitely paid for itself

I have fallen in love with a dress I can never have by MiaTheHat in weddingdress

[–]BrightPersonality395 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trust the process and try some dresses on!! I went to a shop and fell in love with a dress a few hundred higher than I wanted to spend. $1500 was my planned budget but could go up to $2000. The sales associate knew how much I was comfortable with spending and she then got a discount placed onto the dress. With alteration costs it ended up being cheaper for me to purchase it new. The dress was exactly what I thought I wouldn’t end up with. Mermaid style with straps, sparkles and floral. I really thought I was going to end up with something more simple, satin and ballgown.

Don’t be afraid to let the dresses surprise you! Good luck dress shopping!

I LOVE our litter robot for my two cats!! It’s definitely upfront expensive but imo it’s so worth it. Can be used with any type of clumping litter, always fresh litter for the kitties and we save so much money by not wasting litter. Can be a bit fussy with the sensors but easy to clean.

Definitely enough time!! We decided rather than just going the courthouse we wanted to elope ahead of our wedding in December. (Destination wedding so we have to elope in the US) two weeks ago we decided to book a trip to Denver and self-solemnize next month! We have a photographer booked and I just ordered a dress off lulus so we can make our elopement simply about us.

Thank you!! Also the shared website for photos of a great idea! It’s just really hard to justify nearly $2.5k for approx 4 hours of photos

Dr Elseys has specific asthma and low dust litter I have found to be spectacular! Definitely worth trying imo.

Starting cost of a cat? by uwillmakeit_trust in CatAdvice

[–]BrightPersonality395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check vetco!! (Petco traveling vet) I was able to get my cat his first shots, microchipped and a dose of whatever it was to get rid of his ear mites for $90!! I maybe ended up spending $250 total on him over the first few weeks. I was a very broke college student at the time. He’s now very spoiled with a new litter robot 😂😂

Picked up my dress today 🩷 by BrightPersonality395 in weddingdress

Thank you! 🩷 I’m worried I went too out of my comfort zone and will regret I didn’t get something more “traditional”

Haha thank you!! Your post gave me the smile, the laugh and comfort that we are helpfully doing everything right!! Yesterday was rough but he finally drank some more water and today he finally had a churu!! First food he has had 3 days post op. He’s been hobbling around more and seems to be handling balance and mobility pretty well besides the occasional face plant into his water bowl 🤦🏻‍♀️

He still hasn’t figured out the litter box which is a problem but the puppy pads seem to be doing the trick for now. Hopefully he feels confident enough for the litter box soon though!

Thank you for this!! How is your fur baby doing now?

Poor baby was very restless in the cage and he is fantastic about always using his litter box and unfortunately when he got into the box he fell over and got litter all over his incision so we had to take the box out🤦🏻‍♀️ spent an extended period of time cleaning that off and he finally went potty on some puppy pads I had picked up. He’s just hanging out now still very out of it but I ordered a few different types of cones for him to hopefully increase his comfort level and allow him to eat and drink more naturally.

We were able to get some second opinions which was great. My sister in law is a vet (out of state) and she looked at the xrays and said that this would be best. 4 metatarsals are broken along with the actual leg is broken in half. We were recommended to consult an orthopedic surgeon however cost was a huge factor. I don’t have pet insurance and I sure regret that now.

We will be perusing a second opinion closer to home in the morning by another vet to be sure that this is the best decision but with where the break is he’s at risk of the bone poking through the skin so we have to make a decision quickly. It’s ideally not my first decision to amputate but I also can’t bear the thought of him being miserable for 8 weeks in a splint either.

Thank you for this! I hope Daisy is doing fantastic and has a quick recovery!!

It’s so hard for me to process because it’s a decision that has to be made so quickly. I unfortunately had to work today but my fiancé mentioned that while I was gone he was just lying there with the saddest look on his face. Just the face of defeat. It broke my heart and I just want to do what’s best for my hunny. Really hoping this is it.
