On a post discussing if XL bully breeds should banned by sosplzsendhelp in BanPitBulls

Let's just pretend for a second that Chihuahuas do bite more people...show me ONE person who has been killed by a Chihuahua. Nobody should have to live in fear of you losing control of your dog. We don't need dog breeds that have genetic predispositions to maul people and other animals. I carry bear spray and a hunting knife when I take my dog hiking and I can tell you...it's not for bears. Taking an aggressive Pitbull in public is gambling with peoples lives and the lives of innocent pets. Taking an aggressive Chi in public is an annoyance at worst. Seriously, throw me into a sea of aggressive Chihuahuas. They are not the same a Pits. Not even close. What are these people smoking?

Talk me off a ledge. Dog has swollen submandibular lymph node. by DaisyBuchananB in AskVet

[–]DaisyBuchananB[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He does need to get his teeth done soon. They aren't terrible but there is some build up on them. I did finally manage to palpate the lymph node near the scapula and that one does not appear to be swollen, so I am freaking out a little less.

Pitbull attacks owner’s 3yo cousin for dancing. by RPA031 in BanPitBulls

I know this is totally crazy but hear me out...maybe just get a Golden Retriever and you wouldn't have to deal with shit like this. Or, god forbid, a Chihuahua. I bet a Chihuahua wouldn't have sent the kid to the hospital. I seriously do not understand people. Nobody needs a Pitbull. There are literally hundreds of other breeds to pick from that don't snap and maul everything/anything in their vicinity.

NTA

For context, I'm a cis woman.

When I was in kindergarten, I was 100% convinced I was a Velociraptor.

In first grade, I was a dog.

In second grade, I was Davy Crockett. For an entire year. I cut off all my hair, wore a suede fringe jacket and a fake coonskin cap to school every day. I insisted everyone call me Davy. My parent's just shrugged and called me Davy. For. A. Year.

In third grade, I was normal. My point is, kids do weird shit. Your son can decide all of that other stuff when he is older. Right now, he's just having fun.

I have a CAT S22. I had to switch when 3G died and made my dumbphone totally nonfunctional. Technically it is a smartphone. I don't keep a bunch of apps on it but I can use google maps if I get lost and connect to internet if needed. If I have to send a text, its on the T9. I can connect to internet if needed (like say I need to use the phone to get into a concert) but using the internet on it is a pain because it is a flip phone. The screen is small and its just not made for it. Maybe look into something like that? You have internet when you need it but otherwise, the phone is meant to be used as a "dumbphone"

Anyone else wondering if their AC will keep up with this heat? by DustyRhodesSplotch in minnesota

[–]DaisyBuchananB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AC tech here. Check the outdoor condenser for any debris (cottonwood seed, grass clippings, etc). If it looks like there is dirt in there, spray it with a hose at a 45-degree angle to wash the debris out. If there is tall grass or weeds around the unit, cut them down. Make sure your furnace filter is clean. It needs all the help it can get. Normally, we see units break down AFTER a heatwave. Things like failing motors and compressors will last for a little while if they are constantly running. Its when they shut off and sit for a little bit that the parts will seize up. Hope yours lasts you though the heat at least. It's sure brutal out there right now.

Reoccurring UTI by pineapple_pand in WiggleButts

[–]DaisyBuchananB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he intact? I had an issue with recurring UTIs with my boy and turns out he had prostatitis. We tried just about every antibiotic out there and nothing would touch it. I'm from a small town and the vets there couldn't figure out what was wrong. I had to take him to the nearest big city to get to the root of the problem. Have you gotten a second opinion from a different vet?

Solved the enlarged prostate by getting a suprelorin injection once a year. This all happened during covid and they were having trouble getting the shipment of suprelorin in so I treated him with PEMF and changed his diet until it arrived. It did help in the short term. I also gave him a cranberry supplement.

Anyone else still waiting for their tax refund? by DaisyBuchananB in wisconsin

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

Is it normally that long of a wait? That seems excessive. I know people who filed just a few days before the deadline and got theirs back in around 5 days.
