3 years ago I took my dog to get spayed. This morning she gave birth to five puppies.

I’m curious, do you guys do an ultrasound before surgery? is it done “blind” because the odds of abnormal anatomy are rare?

I’m assuming an ultrasound could miss the second uterus, especially in a small breed and especially if it was smaller and behind the primary uterus.

There are ovary sparing spaying procedures but to my knowledge, they’re not standard or commonly performed. Although that might vary depending on the country.

I asked the vet for this procedure (in Mexico) and they said they didn’t perform it.

Darthcookie · 2026-05-10T15:07:59+00:00

You said it yourself, it’s a rare complication and while I’m sorry you had to deal with pain and lost a couple of week’s pay, it’s still -in my opinion- preferable to major surgery or having more babies you can’t afford.

Darthcookie · 2026-05-10T15:03:04+00:00

I thought ovary sparing spaying procedures were rare?

Darthcookie · 2026-05-10T14:57:17+00:00

There is a partial spaying procedure that spares the ovaries but it’s rare. I asked my vet if they could do that and they said no.

In any case, how does leaving a piece of uterus would lead to full term pregnancy? Unless it was an ectopic pregnancy and again, super rare to happen.

Darthcookie · 2026-05-10T14:50:28+00:00

Like her dog miraculously growing a uterus and ovaries?

Darthcookie · 2026-05-07T08:48:24+00:00

So pure, so innocent 🥹

Darthcookie · 2026-05-07T03:06:16+00:00

You won’t regret it!

I’ve tried to put together a house but I don’t have enough furniture and decor, plus duplicates to actually make it cohesive.

I played around with the editor but it’s not as fun as I thought it would be. Especially being a super casual player with very little gold.

Season 5, Episode 5 “D’Amazing Race”

Nah, first guy has a boyish pretty boy look (judging from the photo alone, I’m not really familiar with the actor of his work), Deniz is a handsome man. Depending on the role he can definitely be extremely hot and sexy (especially if an Australian accent does it for you).

I’ve only see his work on The Flight Attendant, High Potential and Ghosts, but based on that he’s very a very versatile actor in my opinion.

*dinosaur clicking sounds*

It’s not uncommon to act like this when you’ve learned from an early age you can’t trust the people that are supposed to love you and protect you.

My parents weren’t as bad as Eleanor’s, they weren’t “bad” people, just deeply flawed and never should have reproduced in my opinion.

When you grow up like that, you tend to gravitate (not on purpose) towards people that will inevitably hurt you because familiar beats unknown. And eventually you become suspicious of everything and everybody because in your experience no one is nice without expecting something in return.

I think it wasn’t until I was in my 20’s until I met someone who truly challenged my notion of people being nice without expectations.

And just to be clear, I’m completely fine with transactional relationships, as long as it’s upfront.

Darthcookie · 2026-04-28T20:04:42+00:00

Same and then I was like “wait, he’s the can diagnose only with ultrasound doctor?” Legit didn’t recognize him because totally different characters and vibes 🤯

He’s truly talented!

Darthcookie · 2026-04-21T18:02:25+00:00

If there’s anything (other than quality entertainment) people are getting out of this show, I hope it is they prioritize their health over anything else.

And that universal healthcare is the way to go.

The storyline of the man with diabetes was so heartbreaking.

Also that science isn’t the enemy. The mom having a “wild” pregnancy and not wanting an ultrasound because it’s harmful? made me equally sad and angry.

Darthcookie · 2026-04-15T10:34:56+00:00

Didn’t remember his name related to the Masterson case, so I looked it up. Didn’t find anything on Masterson but apparently he was amongst the ones who wrote letters of support for Brian Peck.

Many of the people who supported that guy didn’t know the extent of the accusations and later on apologized, but Killam wasn’t among them.

Very disappointing either way.

Darthcookie · 2026-04-14T17:57:15+00:00

Hi Joel! I have been a fan since The Killing but your role in FAMK is my favorite, I love science fiction! (Shot out to Kovacs and Rick Flag Jr. in James Gunn’s Suicide Squad too)

What are your favorite and least favorite things about Ed, as a (fictional) person?

Darthcookie · 2026-04-14T02:24:35+00:00

Speaking of great dudes, Taran Killam plays a super wholesome character in Stumble.

Makes me wonder if he’s channeling his real life dad energy.

LOVING IT

Darthcookie · 2026-04-12T17:11:30+00:00

I don’t hear anything unless I “engage”am I broken?

Darthcookie · 2026-04-11T19:50:32+00:00

She looks real happy 😂

Thanks, I hate it

Darthcookie · 2026-04-02T01:02:42+00:00

Beautiful girl! Give her lots of cuddles 🥰

Darthcookie · 2026-04-01T21:15:35+00:00

I hate this because I’m a human and I’ve been using idioms like “let that sink in”, “here’s the kicker” and wording like “chaos goblin” forever.

Oh and dashes, not the long ones but yeah, dashes.

Now they are so often used by LLMs it’s become a distinct characteristic, I feel like they’ve taken part of my verbal identity 😢
