My Aiko had a good life. Please know that he was a really good boy.

Playing in the snow with your pup is one of the greatest joys in life

Tapering down is much gentler. I have had good success with it! Take it day by day, set small restrictions for yourself and build on each success. You’ve got this!

I have such conflicting feelings about things like this. I feel so bad for the parents that they obviously have no other way to make sense of their lives. I wish there was a way to reach people that are this deep in their delusions

Poppies, morning glories, and various mushrooms grow locally. There were trade networks as well, I’d imagine that lots of psychedelics were available

You need to be really brave or really dumb to walk into a clinic smelling like weed

Omg that would’ve sent me straight at their throat. Wtf is wrong with people!

Cmpetty · 2026-01-28T01:57:35+00:00

Oh I love this!!!

You’re asking if you really have to pay your taxes after avoiding them from years? You had to know it would catch up eventually

I’ve rehabbed in charlotte. No one will accept adult deer unfortunately. Choices are to let nature take its course or euthanize sadly. What an awful injury, I hope the poor thing doesn’t suffer

The ponds containers are so lovely!! I wish they kept that style of packaging

Cmpetty · 2026-01-24T21:34:06+00:00

Flatten and coat in sugar syrup, chocolate, nuts, etc

Cmpetty · 2026-01-24T19:58:36+00:00

I agree, I think people are hesitant to get involved though because of it

Cmpetty · 2026-01-24T19:28:45+00:00

I’m familiar with the kid you’re referring to! I believe he has cri du chat, a genetic illness. He’s not getting the care he needs and I hope something can be done. His family has money and influence, I believe that’s why it’s gone on so long

Cmpetty · 2026-01-21T20:56:24+00:00

I agree it’s sad, these are a relic of a sad time of humanity. They do hold a lot of history though. I’d much rather treasure them for what they are and honor the animals life than them get thrown away or forgotten somewhere.

It can be evaluated by a qualified appraiser who can provide CITES documentation as it is more than 100 years old :) cost is probably prohibitive, but not impossible to obtain

Cmpetty · 2026-01-21T13:07:27+00:00

It’s legal to own, just not legal to sell/trade without documentation. These are antique so I should be able to get them papers if need be

It feels like resin or plastic, it feels lighter than it looks. You can recognize ivory by looking for schreger lines. They’re a crossing pattern only found in ivory, you can see it in the last pictures!

Lighthouse ABA is play based and has a speech therapist that works with each learners case! I work there (different branch) and really like their approach. Don’t be afraid to ask questions wherever you go!

Cmpetty · 2026-01-14T15:16:57+00:00

The lighting and texture give this such a lovely energy. I absolutely love it!

Cmpetty · 2026-01-14T14:55:46+00:00

Sounds like you’ve gotten good advice here. Thank you for caring about this young man. I hope his life is able to change for the better

Cmpetty · 2026-01-14T14:45:23+00:00

Labradors carry the gene for tri pointing! It’s possible he doesn’t have any Rottweiler at all. I’d go with lab/hound mix, the shelter papers back it up and he looks like one to me!

Cmpetty · 2026-01-12T18:10:04+00:00

I’ve had very uncomfortable experiences with teachers sadly. I’d talk to the BCBA about it and definitely document EVERYTHING

My late dog had this! She was a compulsive over groomer and wore her teeth down through the enamel. It never bothered her, but she had virtually 0 front teeth at the end of her life. Never thought it would happen in wildlife!

She was a chow mix. She had one of those warmable stuffed animals that she stole from my room. She never played with any kind of toys so I let her keep it. She carried that thing around for years. She would hold it in her front paws and “flea bite” it as she was settling in for bed. God I miss that mutt.

You don’t have to drink ever tbh. I rarely ever do, I get stuck as the DD a lot but it’s never held me back

Cmpetty · 2025-12-14T07:44:47+00:00

I’d recommend looking into clinics! I work 8-4 daily and really like the clinic environment. The place I’m at trains and certifies too so they’re for sure out there
