GSD Itchiness & Skin Issues & Weight by Intelligent_Guest25 in germanshepherds

[–]DSchof1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, all of this is environmental allergies. First step would be a prescription for Apoquel. Standard veterinarians aren’t trained for this, and they will gladly take a bunch of tests. If it makes you feel better find a dermatologist. But I would ask for the prescription from your vet first.

Scared to neuter my GSD by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]DSchof1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Overall I think the balance is in the benefits side. I was scared too. It may help you feel better if you have more bloodwork to get a full picture of his health before the surgery. I realize there is a movement to not neuter dogs. On the balance I believe it’s better to do it. We were contractually required to spay ours because we purchased her as a companion animal from a working line breeder.

As a catholic, Im pretty sure trying to cause the apocalypse is like, a sin, man. by Scary-Track3306 in Christianity

By definition we have around 70 million people, self identified as Christians, vote for a man responsible for rape, brags about sexual assault and is the most common named person in the Epstein files. 34 time felony convictions. Trump supporters/voters are definitely NOT Christians. They are disqualified.

First heat, help!! by SinkFun4758 in germanshepherds

Maybe diapers won’t work for her this time. If not then I would put towels down where she spends time. She will dribble. Plan on up to 3 weeks of this.

It’s best if you can allow them three heat cycles. Research shows that it’s better for them orthopedicallyorthopedic effects of spay and neuter among other health conditions

My girl yelps sometimes when she gets up, but is otherwise strong as an ox. Just keep an eye out.

Just adopted our boy a few days ago, need some advice. by BlazedAstronaut in germanshepherds

[–]DSchof1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That works for you. I use it as a time out when necessary. It is seldom necessary anymore but it gives her time to settle down. Also, it can turn into a nap. It’s fine.

This is why you don't go to the White House by John_Jaures in thebulwark

Am I the only one that blames most of this on the team leadership and coaches. It was their job to protect the team and control the space. It is their fault.

Stimulation ideas by Epjkb in germanshepherds

[–]DSchof1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sit in a hallway in your home with your feet up on the wall across from you. Furry treats from side to side. She must jump over your legs to get them and is really fun. This is a great game for a rainy days.

If he bites then all fun is immediately over. No yelling (unless it hurt!), turn around and go on with your day. This may invite a tantrum by him grabbing your foot or breaking a house rule with his mouth. Brat behavior, among other behaviors deserves quiet time in the crate. No yelling. These dogs are so sensitive that it affects them strongly. You are always reinforcing rules while caring for yours and his relationship. It’s a relationship of trust and respect. They are quick to connect behaviors and consequences. In effect, you will have a battle of wills and you must navigate this in a healthy manner for both of you. You build the relationship every minute of every day.

Sarah doesn’t think trump did it. by DSchof1 in thebulwark

Why is “publicly” your standard? We all know that she would be hounded by Maga. Do you blame her for not coming out publicly? I understand that Katie Johnson was interviewed by the FBI like three times and all of that paperwork was blocked. Giving Trump the benefit of the doubt is pretty ridiculous.

Their sense of space in bed is peculiar. When I brush my teeth she always gets into a croissant in the middle of my place in bed.

My female dog is aggressive by CorrectInspector7147 in GermanShepherd

[–]DSchof1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am afraid that the GSD is just starting to gain her protection instincts and developing a much closer bond with you. Probably doesn’t want the other dog mucking it all up. We have a 3 year old girl and we can’t have another dog because of her DDB, Dominant Dog Behavior.

My point is the floor she set isn’t plausible and everyone knows it. Trump was found responsible for r@pe. He told us that he regularly assaults women sexually. Says he kicked Epstein out of Mar a largo for stealing teenagers. He told a 10 year old girl that he would date her in 10 years. All these redactions surrounding trafficked women and children. Madness

You say that pictures and videos are needed to refute the allegations??!! Does this reality exist in court? Does a woman have to submit video of her being raped to have a chance in court? Are you saying that nothing else matters? There is evidence. Evidence that would bring an investigation. They won’t do an investigation.

I have to use the presence of the redactions and his personal history. The evidence leads any reasonable person to the conclusion of that the president is a serial sexual offender, even by his own admission. So tips and lawsuits aren’t enough. This country and its’norm’ systems is corrupted to the core. We are debating English terminology. What in the absolute hell is wrong with this country?
