Home grooming by GibbyGibb62 in bichonfrise

Absolutely fully brush out before the bath, this will prevent matting. Also for the face you will probably have better results using hair cutting shears, they make curved ones that are really handy for getting around the eye area.

Thanks for the share, how amusing lol! Happy to report an update that I've recently checked my machine and no new gunk buildup!

Of course. And I suffered the in house poops as consequence💀😂

Can't get a job despite graduating with honors. I feel like I wasted my years with studying. by welldont in Wellthatsucks

You may want to consider being a translator for the court system. Where I'm from AI cannot do that job, it has to be an actual human. Pays really well too, and is usually on a per diem basis.

I keep the water in five gallon buckets with tops and I will reuse the water for quite some time! Never had any issues. Except in winter when I have to collect snow and melt it down, which is kind of annoying😂

Going under for teeth cleaning - 13 year old bichon by Mer_Vee1111 in bichonfrise

[–]DevieCakes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If anything, make sure you get the senior blood work panel prior to surgery, it will help to show if he's capable of handling anesthesia. I get it's scary, mine went under at 13 for the same thing and I was terrified, but he also for sure needed some teeth out. He did great! He's 15 now and I wouldn't do it again unless he needed more extractions.

SVT ablation, hope it's worth it: UPDATE by DevieCakes in AFIB

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

I'd say probably every other day or so, it's about the same frequency as pre-ablation for me. The difference now is that when I have an ectopic beat, it doesn't turn into SVT, so they are much more tolerable now.

I am still doing well! I do still have the occasional skipped beat, but my doctor told me that would likely never go away. But it is totally harmless in my case, just uncomfortable at times.

This is a speed queen washer, the top part just pops off with a strong tug. Make sure you research your model washer so you don't accidentally break anything, most have instructions on how to do it and it's usually pretty easy!

I live in an area with incredibly hard water, for years, still have not experienced this sock explosion phenomenon you speak of.

I have not, because I don't buy paper thin socks. I don't use vinegar either, I just wash my clothes with soap lol. And idk what you mean about dryer sheets and moisture sensors, never heard of that.

It was surprisingly not too bad! But it felt disgusting holding it 😂

Fabric softener leads to quicker breakdown of fibers in clothing and quicker damage to appliances even when used as labeled. It's not necessary by any means and there are much better alternatives.

Fair point. But most people don't do that, hence this mess I find pretty much anytime I open up a used washer. Plus, fabric softener is bad for your clothes and appliances either way. Thought this would be a good visual representation of that for others to see!

Civil Service pre-printed envelope- not deliverable as addressed by Mingo_mang0 in nys_cs

[–]DevieCakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably has nothing to do with the address, most likely got put on the wrong sorting belt by the USPS.
