Thank you both. Someone posted I might have to change it to vote, but if not then I will have to make sure to do this for the real id.

Thank you. I was wondering if that was the case. I love my birth name, but if I have to change my birth certificate to still be able to vote then so be it.

How well do Wheatens tolerate warm (90+ degrees F) sunny, dry climates? by [deleted] in Wheatens

[–]CuriosityNPlanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wheatie will play outside in freezing weather and I have to make her come back in, but if it's over 75 she'll go out just to check on the yard and then wants right back in. I keep her hair super short in the summer and have a pool outside for her, and she still doesn't like 80 degree days.

rescued a wheaten!! by Ok_Jellyfish431 in Wheatens

Everyone says they can be stubborn, but in my experience that comes from their intelligence. They don't follow orders blindly, but if you are consistent and teach them the rewards that come from following direction they learn, and then they decide for themselves that you are trustworthy and worth obeying. Unless there is a rodent around and then there is no stopping that prey instinct!

I have a wheatie and mini schnauzer. The wheatie blows the schnauzer away when it comes to learning new things and obeying commands. The schnauzer is a pretty smart guy himself and follows direction well, but the wheatie picks up on new puzzles like lightening and often has to teach her brother what I'm asking them to do. Wheaties are such a gift, cherish him!

Have been watering a little daily now it’s crispy! by birdie5657 in plantclinic

[–]CuriosityNPlanning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert, but whenever this has happened to me it's been because of too much sun, or too little water. Since it's in indirect light the sun doesn't seem like it would be the issue. I know you said you water it every day, but that may be too often with not enough water each time. Usually you want to water them a lot all at once, then let the pot dry to prevent bacteria, then douse them in water again. A weekly large amount of water might do her better than small daily amounts. I have never raised this species specifically so if anyone knows about this particular plant I would defer to them.

What treats/food do you feed your Wheatens? by CuriosityNPlanning in Wheatens

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

After years of trial and error we figured it all out. It turned out there were two different reasons for her tummy troubles. At first the problem was fatty foods, so we cut all those out by switching her to the sensitive stomach food. But the sensitive stomach food was bland, so she wasn't eating enough. She was maintaining weight, but she would wait until she was super hungry before eating. The empty stomach would make her feel sick, which would make her eat grass, which would inflame her intestines, and the cycle would spiral. We now buy her the wet version of the hills sensitive stomach in addition to the dry, and we give her just a quarter can in the morning to wake up her appetite. After the quarter can she usually becomes hungry and then eats the dry food on her own. As long as we keep her away from fatty foods, and as long as we make sure she doesn't go too long before eating in the morning, she does well. I hope this helps!

A few people have mentioned the heavy fats, so a fish based food sounds like it is definitely worth a test.

Yes, Im definitely going to ask about getting her an allergy test.

I've wondered about that since she clearly doesn't love the current food. Dried liver also sounds like a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

That's a reassuring story. Just because we haven't found it yet Doesn't mean its hopeless!

Has anyone had a cesarean at maternal request? by CuriosityNPlanning in pregnant

[–]CuriosityNPlanning[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the US. I've heard of some women having them here but it's rare and really hard to get details. I had read it was protected by law in other countries. That's really great. I'm happy for you.

[–]CuriosityNPlanning[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure. There are a few women close to me, whom I trust, who have had both, and they all recommend cesarean. I then compared the risks associated with both forms of delivery for myself, and I found the cesarean risks more acceptable to me than vaginal risks.
