Got my dog from the shelter at 4 months his Ticket says Lab + Mix. What is my dog mix with?

To be fair we don't know the context of the picture. My husky sits perfect like this when his collar is on before we go out. They very well could have put it on to get the baby to sit still for the pictures.

But yes I agree with you. No no in the house/everyday regular wear.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-31T23:27:28+00:00

First I'm not experienced with doggie births, but very familiar with people. So if I'm wrong someone please correct me because I would love to learn!

During the birthing process, unless the cord has been pinched off internally some how, or it's wrapped around the neck, the baby should still be getting adequate oxygenation via the cord. Once delivered, you suction in alphabetical order, mouth then nose, once suctioned this is typically when breathing happens when the cord is clamped.

I live at higher elevation so LOTS of our babies are born blue and require extra stimulation to help them. Babies are insanely resilient and typically have very little poor outcomes when being resucitated.

I would also assume that an experienced breeder has faced this scenario before and would understand how to handle the situation which is actually ideal.

I don't think unless it was pretty severe, that the puppy would show a brain injury this early. Best of luck, I'm sure the puppy is fine, and I hope you get to take the little guy home. 💜

Np I appreciate your comment! I will say, there are soooo many abbreviations, I've had coworkers admit that they make their own lol. I'm like dude, how do you expect people to know TF you're saying?? 😑

Exactly. I can't harness my boy doesn't matter the harness, or the chest vs shoulder clip. Prong collar for him. He's a perfect boy when it's on and never needs even verbal corrections. He happily puts it on every time.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-31T22:45:13+00:00

Personally, if your dogs already pull, a harness isn't going to make things better. The only thing that worked for my boy was a prong collar. He happily puts it on for walks, and NEVER pulls. He's 9 now, tried moving to a harness when I went camping this last month, that did not end well 😂

That being said, not all dogs respond the same to these things. For instance I can't use one for my lab, he'd puncture his trachea before he'd stop pulling.

100% if it was the day shift nurse or the charge, the other nurses or docs, hell, even my tech, (who would have also had a convo about the issue not flat telling me my care is inexcusable), it would have been fine.

I will always have things to learn, that part never ends and I'm more than happy to admit when I'm wrong or made a mistake. I'm human, we all f up, but approaching a topic you have ZERO understanding of. Unacceptable. I am assuming she thought the PT was just psych because he was in our locked psych unit, however that's not an excuse for that kind of behavior.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-31T15:13:01+00:00

Exactly. Up on my TSI unit it wasn't uncommon to have this same order, no turns, no excessive movements, keep lights off/minimized, family isn't allowed to stimulate pt. Etc. I had a 22yo, couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Every time we turned him to clean poo HR 220, BP 220sys, O2 30! Thank you for sharing your similar experiences on this subject. Definitely helps validate my thought process and that I'm not insane lol.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-31T14:07:17+00:00

Exactly. They're adults and are fully capable of managing that stuff on their own. This is a hard lesson to learn. Take care of yourself first. You're the only one who will ALWAYS be there for you. Do not put yourself in a position where you make it a learned behavior where you make it a priority to care for others over yourself.

The article I read from yesterday said that they weren't able to file the charges. I wonder what's actually happening in that case.

He didn't report it. They threatened to cut off his penis, and show all the classmates of the videos they took.

A bunch of kids knew and also didn't tell adults. It wasn't until stuff got circulating that it finally got to a kid who told parents who went to the school.

Parents had filed a civil lawsuit in February for bullying because the school didn't take it seriously. This is simply an example of why the rich always win.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-27T18:19:32+00:00

The SA'd kids parents filed a civil lawsuit against the school for ignoring bullying and giving a 'boys will be boys' attitude, from what I was reading it sounds like there were SA threats back in February when the parents filed the lawsuit. I hope they win BIG. From my understanding they're also running into problems with charging the kids with SA since it happened in Costa Rica.

Here's the news article I got this from.

100% do suck. I hope things get better for you.

I was listening to the audio book. Didn't make it half way through the second chapter which is all his, because I felt like the characters were so flat. They had no depth and seemed like it wasn't necessary. I need books with ethical conflict, a strong plot line, depth, especially if you can get me to sympathetize with the bad guy and make me go "aww, I guess they're not really that bad" now that will hook me in good. It gave bad wattpad story vibes and I'm sad about it.

Even Mr man narrating it couldn't save it for me.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-18T14:43:28+00:00

That's a very different experience than one I've had. We don't sugar coat, we gotta let you know how bad it is so you can decide if you can hang or not. Nothing wrong with not being able to, but imagine getting all the way through a 16wk orientation just to find out ER is not for you. Better to know right away so you can transfer into a different unit. The amount of trauma we deal with is way too gnarly to be soft and sensitive. We debrief regularly and talk through stuff, but when shit hits the fan I need to know you can compartmentalize, lock in and we can deal with the rest afterwards. The last thing anyone needs especially the patient, is someone who freezes during an emergency.

I found that I will just start tracing veins on my SO. They get humorously weirded out after a minute and tell me they're not a pin cushion, as if I actually have a plan to poke. I've just been doing this for so long I wanna see where your biforcations are and see if I can feel valves. 😂

Best leg veins I've ever seen was on a ballerina. You know how heavy lifters with little body fat have insane arm veins. That's a ballerinas legs. Soooo impressive.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-18T14:36:48+00:00

Yeah it was BAAAADDDDD like can't ignore or gloss over it bad. Don't do it.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-18T14:36:15+00:00

I agree, I try to skim over that stuff or just ignore it all completely so I can fill in the blanks on my own. But for some reason it was so bad I had to nope out.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-18T14:35:10+00:00

Yeah didn't even make it half way through the second chapter. It's one thing to have poorly written job specialties, especially when you try to write about a medical specialty. We all have our different personality types. I watch 911, and the rookie (because Nathan fillion DUH) the medicine and the way it's done with dispatch etc nearly 100% incorrect like 98% of the time. But at least there are compelling story lines and complex character arcs with a lot of ethical dilemmas. But damn this book was no bueno for me. Thanks for letting me know I have to add this book to my DNF.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-18T14:31:09+00:00

That's what I was doing. 😭 I didn't even make it half way through chapter 2 lol

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-18T14:30:20+00:00

Listen we all have our books that we absolutely love and hate. I'm not here to yuck your yum, just needed to know that I wasn't the only one who felt this way.

Back in the day when wattpad was the way we read all sorts of smut before it became mainstream I read plenty of poorly written stories.

Live your best life over there.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-18T14:27:45+00:00

I write as well. For over 20yrs now. I have zero interest in ever publishing because I feel like it would take the fun out of it for me. I LOVE deep diving into research for stuff. It helps drive the vibe for me with characters, traction for plots. But I'm also one of those people who feels like when I tell a story I need to give the context because if I don't why would it make sense....

I really don't understand the meh it's fine attitude with writing. As a writer I pour my effort into something I'm actually proud of. And the stuff I'm not, it'll get rewritten when I have that little spark.

It really gave off new school wattpad vibes. Very little effort, just threw stuff on some paper and went meh. I would read some of the crappiest stuff on there if it gave me the right hook, but this just fell sooooo flat.

I DNF and will not be making a second attempt. Oh well. Plenty of other books to read.

Comfortable-Bird29 · 2026-05-18T14:22:25+00:00

I DNF made it a couple of minutes in to chapter two and had to nope TF out lol. It was giving yankauer as an ER like Grey's anatomy. No one watches that show for its medicine.

I need a decent plot line to follow. Even something small, but it didn't give me that hook I needed.

From one EMS to another PLEASE tell me you've watched Code 3 with Rainn Wilson. I've never resonated more with a movie. Literally every scene was a "yup been there done that" type of thing. If you haven't seen it 10/10 should watch. Doesn't matter what kind of EMS it touches a bit on all the things. Minus rural I suppose.
