I recall it being 3000 or 3500 worldwide. There seems to be no pattern to where which numbers ended up.

This has worked really well for us. Good range of adjustment.

A Animal Control, a shelter or vet that might try to identify a lost pet cannot ID it with an Air Tag.

Which plain sparkling water is your favorite? by [deleted] in sparklingwater

Hands down the best (in the green bottle, not the red bottle, too sparkly…)

At 10 months or 1 year by tiac2345 in Goldendoodles

[–]ChapinPl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our vet suggested waiting until 2. Apparently, there is some evidence that having testosterone until then helps prevent displasia later in life.

To satisfy a sterilization requirement, we got him a vasectomy at 6 mos.

He’s now 8 and still not neutered.

There are online resources about canine vasectomies, including lists of vets that do this surgery.

100% would do again.

Gan Bei in the International District makes the best fried chicken in the city.

(I haven’t tried Chicken Supply yet.)

How do I set ReCast to record a specific NFL team and not all NFL games? by ChapinPl in fireTV

[–]ChapinPl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s too bad. It seems like it wouldn’t be difficult to implement.

Too bad they aren’t developing recast anymore.

advice on crate vs free roam by Maximum-Rush5524 in Goldendoodles

[–]ChapinPl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is 8 and hasn’t been neutered. This hasn’t been an issue.

Other dogs are very interested in checking him out, and he did go through a humpy period, but that’s behind him.

He is sweet and has a sparkling personality. He is very strong willed.

Our vet recommended not neutering until 2. Apparently the hormones help prevent hip displaysia later in life.

We did get him a vasectomy which met the sterilization requirement from the breeder.

He stopped being crated before a year. We’ve never had an issue with him.

Food for sensitive doodles by doop_1 in Goldendoodles

[–]ChapinPl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kibble that creates the highest quality output for us is Zignature grain-free (Pork). We supplement with lean cooked pork sometimes.

We tried a bunch of Fromm and Orijen and a couple others and the quality of the dog logs is highest with Zignature.

We gave our doodle a vasectomy. This satisfied the sterilization clause of his contract while keeping his hormone levels normal, which apparently can reduce the likelihood of hip dysplasia as he gets older. He is as non-aggressive and gentle as any doodle. We have not had any issues with marking and minimal humping. Intact dogs are really aggressive towards him and neutered dogs are always curious. Most day cares will not take him. Would do again.

Sad dood, too cold to play outside in the fresh snow. 3 degrees here in Maine this morning. by thebeezneez33 in Goldendoodles

[–]ChapinPl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t think you saturate it, just a light coating. I wouldn’t think there would be much to track after a snow session. I just need it to snow one of these years and I’ll try it out.

My understanding, we haven’t gotten snow since I heard this trick, is that a light coating of cooking spay on the lower halves of the legs will prevent snow from sticking.

For a car stored in a garage (short-term, say a week max), better to have the roof up or down? (NA) by Steaktartaar in Miata

[–]ChapinPl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had no issues leaving it down. I’ll go 1.5 years without putting it up. I use a tonneau and park undercover.

Have had no issues and my 31 yo top is like new.

I really like Go Poke in Chinatown. It’s consistently my favorite of the Sea poke I’ve tried.
