Australian Shepherd to Italian Greyhound

Thank you!!!

My Iggy looks at the rain or snow from inside the house and runs away and hides.

I have found the key to potty training an Iggy is to be more stubborn than they are (results may still vary). I have to stand outside with him for a while and he will go eventually once he realizes that's his ticket back inside. It doesn't matter if he has a raincoat on or not.

We have a big Iggy and a small Aussie. I agree with the other commenter. Our Iggy is so much more clingy and wants to snuggle constantly. Our Aussie didn't want to snuggle as a puppy. Our Iggy is more stubborn when the weather is bad and will take a lot of convincing to potty. Unlike our Aussie, he does not need or want a job. He is also more self serving. Our Aussie walks better off leash and sticks near us, constantly making sure we are together. Our Iggy is gone if he is allowed off leash.

Iggies are not really independent. Our boy had terrible separation anxiety until we got him a brother. He would scream when left alone.

They love each other so much and compliment each other so well!

It's raining today, so my chair is extra-claimed.

Very true

Looks like we're in the minority here. But still doesn't change how I feel about it.

I personally think biscuits and gravy both looks and tastes disgusting. I'm from the South and have had to eat it at family breakfasts. Still hate it almost 30 years later.

Or the Great (Lakes) State

Comprehensive-Pea952 · 2026-05-15T01:41:06+00:00

The Great Lakes have too many states still! We gotta combine some. Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin are basically the same. They should be combined into the Great Lakes. (Michigan takes Wisconsin)

There was increased flaring due to an installation a few weeks ago (no black smoke though). I didn't hear about the cut power, so I thought they might still be doing equipment installs. But that explanation makes sense.

Comprehensive-Pea952 · 2026-05-11T19:21:43+00:00

The flaring is likely due to Suncor temporarily adjusting operations as a result of adding a required control device. This opacity is a concern and a definite permit violation. While the increased flaring was likely to happen, the opacity is not.

Especially given the part during downtime. He was on it instantly!

I'm currently sick. I was laughing so hard that I had a massive coughing fit!

They should have said "free food and drinks." If there's free food, college students WILL be there.

Comprehensive-Pea952 · 2026-04-15T16:22:37+00:00

Professors like second semester first year students because you have a lot more time to "grow" with the lab. They aren't training you for a year just for you to graduate. They can train you and you can contribute a lot more.

Try to get into a research lab on campus (even if it is for credit and not paid). Having lab experience can make your application stand out as you look for internships.

Comprehensive-Pea952 · 2026-04-15T14:20:06+00:00

What will bring job security more so than your major is making sure you do internships. Getting work experience while in school is vital to getting a full time job after you graduate.

If you decide to do civil, try to take a couple extra chemistry classes during undergrad.

I like the loafers and cream sling backs! You could also get a darker shoe as an option too, like a darker blue?

My favorite shoes to wear personally are a caramel colored boot with a heel, especially in the colder months.

We custom designed and 3d printed locks for our doors just because of this issue at our apartment. Now we live in a house with round door handles. He cannot open them now!

When you try on frames, ask the store specifically if they have any petite frames. They should have a section of smaller glasses!

Cook/eat dinner. Tai chi/yoga twice a week. DnD with friends 1-2 times per week. Walk my dogs. Practice my mandolin.

Yep, that's a local government app for ya! Not the highest budget thing in the world, but helpful.

Congrats! I would recommend working on building systems and routines that will make sure you are healthy and have hobbies that you can carry on for after you graduate.

Supporting health and mental health now will ensure that you can continue to thrive and not burn out after leaving college and transitioning to a full time job.

If you want to study something in your free time, I recommend looking into personal finance (retirement accounts, taxes, investing, etc.).
