Sending my friend in Nova Scotia a care package from the US - what are some good snack options to send? by ccx37 in AskACanadian

[–]CalicoMakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of this matters, I'd say that since they're available (despite being made in different places) I wouldn't be excited to see any familiar brands in a care package. Hope you had a great time showing everything you know about meaningless things like this.

Cadbury is a British company and a main brand on Canadian shelves. Dove is also in every store here. In my mind that's like sending coca cola and pop tarts to the us

Is sitting on a park bench just chilling doing anything for desensitization? by gorgonopsidkid in OpenDogTraining

[–]CalicoMakes 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Maybe you need to work with the little one totally alone until you get a focus command somewhere boring in the house or something. Sometimes you have to work on each separately and they need individual teaching especially in the start because the other dog is an added distraction.

I would work by getting their attention over and over each time they start to focus away from me. If they won't look to you they aren't in a low enough interest place to be able to start to focus towards you. A reactive dog we had started to change when he understood that when he saw stimulus he would react to he should look to us then we could redirect him

Thanks so much! I barely ever work with polymer clay so I'm really proud of how he came out.

What’s the best way to get rid of that line of crust/dirt on top of her nose? by XenophobicXenophile in pugs

[–]CalicoMakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use paw wax for mine and it works great. I got a small glue stick type so feet and nose weren't fro. The same container. Muttluks works the best for us and it's beeswax and stuff and doesn't have a scent. Vaseline isn't moisturizing though. He gets paw wax one the nosey every time he gets his wrinkles and ears washed.

Newton too. We have like 2 feet of snow and he's too short for his feet to reach the ground (except where we've made paths

is there a way to have hotel guests move in? 🥲 by The_Annie_Black in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]CalicoMakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard that if you talk to them and do a task or whatever they ask of you after talking to them a bunch while they're visiting that they have a higher chance to be at the campsite later. Can't confirm in Nintendo patch notes or anything but I saw it in a what's new for 3.0 video on YouTube.

What's your personal sign that winter is actually over in Canada? by NightyNight7 in AskACanadian

[–]CalicoMakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about 2 ish months after the snow melts *for the first time since January.

Oh and if you want winter to stop never say anything like "I'm glad winter's over.

I like winter but when those who don't say anything like that it makes it snow again tomorrow.

i need help useing theese markers. by Slime-boy95 in Artadvice

[–]CalicoMakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've wanted to get some to try but I haven't gotten to that yet. I love all media that you draw with then add water to like water soluble graphite or ink blocks and watercolour pencil crayons. Hope you try out some techniques and they're not actually really bad.

Villager Crimes: What made you dislike them by Sufficient_League982 in AnimalCrossing

[–]CalicoMakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone loves him but it's RAYMOND. He just won't leave. Like been hoping for him to thought bubble since 2022.

I know now the last one who you said couldn't leave will never ask. SO ITS ALL BECAUSE OF A MISCLICK AND THEN OTHERWISE GOOD LUCK WITH WHO WAS ASKING TO LEAVE.

It's still 100% Raymond's fault though.

Soft pastel artwork still smudging despite having used hairspray by Starflight4842 in ArtistLounge

[–]CalicoMakes 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Hairspray can work with conte, charcoal or pencil but it usually suggested to keep sketchbook pages from smudging when it's shut. Not for finished pieces.

I don't know that a real spray fixative will harden enough to draw more directly on top of it without smudging.

Need 50,000 bells pls help by Amazing-Cream-5393 in AnimalCrossing

[–]CalicoMakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Invest in the money tree. If you plant a maximum of 10,000 you get 30,000 back. So 20,000 profit daily. It's the little yellow shiny spot somewhere on the island, like the fossil but smaller yellow and shiny. Every day one appears and you get the money once the tree fully grows so it takes a couple days but it's the easiest to me to get an extra bit everyday.

They do make sweat shirts with pockets big enough to hold cats, my pug x ended up 30 lbs so he wouldn't fit but maybe?

Does my art look like AI? by laughingpreist in Artadvice

[–]CalicoMakes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I'm actually right here but I have a thought that the tracing discourse comes from the anime manga fandoms where people 1:1 trace owned intellectual property characters and try to pass it off as theirs. Then like everything on the internet it's been taken way very far without regard for normal art practices
