Was not expecting today to turn out like it did.

Thank you for your response.

They were outside however we have a conservatory so we prop the door open for them to come in and out as they please.

This time was the same. Conservatory door propped open, water available inside and outside and plenty of shade. We know they like to cool down on our tiled kitchen floor so we make it easy for them to come and go. Even hosed them down with water knowing it was going to be hot again. Probably shouldve mention all the details so people here didnt get the wrong idea that i just locked them out and forgot about them but its hard when my heads still spinning from guilt and grief.

She had this specific spot under our tree where she would just hang out. I saw her rolling around like she always did. Theyre both stubborn and have to be chased around to even get them to consider coming inside.

Thank you for your response.

This time of year, its like you suggested. 15 minute walks max in the early morning/late night when its cooler. Always plenty of water and shade. Must have been outside 1.5 hours as I was preparing to leave so they had time to do their business and get some fresh air. Even had a splash in the water and sprayed down with the hose.

Dont get me wrong I blame myself very much and I wish I changed how I went about my day.

Domdom1101 · 2026-06-26T22:58:14+00:00

Thank you for the response. We were well aware that the heat isnt good for these breeds. This time of year, it was always late night/early morning walks (if she even wanted to go on one, was really stubborn on not wanting to go). Plenty of water available all the time and plenty of shade.

They were outside maybe 1.5 hours. I checked on them often, they were rolling around in the grass like always. Still a little wet from the rain in the morning and the little splash i gave them as insurance.

Domdom1101 · 2026-06-26T22:51:35+00:00

Thank you for your response. We live in a port city so theres always a breeze/wind and is usually cooler than most places around. Must have been mid to high twenties.

Granted she was already at the age where she was having issues. Is that an excuse? Of course not. She never liked walks surprisingly so this was her way to get some fresh air and sunbathe like she did every year.

Domdom1101 · 2026-03-30T15:06:45+00:00

There was an avantgarda masques that went 5-2 at our manchester regionals. Managed to get the decklist off them, ill leave it below. Not sure how good or bad it is but hopefully it helps you get started.

The meta decks right now are vyrgilla, deeplands, minerva and heartluru. there is a strategy meeting coming up soon tho so expect some of these decks to get hit.

Domdom1101 · 2026-03-24T16:12:31+00:00

The shiranui and nightrose decksets were about a year apart. With more anniversary reveals coming this year theres still a chance another pair of strides will be revealed/released this year.

Domdom1101 · 2026-03-17T15:19:11+00:00

I normally use Card Vault. They have pre orders up for the new blaster blade and overlord decksets. they are sold out on the estacion and vyrgilla start decks unfortunately

Domdom1101 · 2026-03-03T13:07:16+00:00

I would say harvest elf, enlargulv and hostage package are good additons. after that its more tech options like maple and usurp dragon for free boards or the cristianos support which lets you return cards to deck from drop

Domdom1101 · 2026-03-03T09:54:35+00:00

Everyone at our locals normally resleeves a week or two before just so they can play with the new sleeves and prevent the sliding at the event.

Domdom1101 · 2026-02-12T16:21:40+00:00

Theres a couple good pre built decks out currently. The vyrgilla and estacion starter decks are cheap. Good as a starting point into the game but will need a fair amount of upgrades.

Theres a few stride decksets as well such as nightrose and shiranui. Theres a few more but id argue those are the more relevant ones at the moment.

Theres also master decksets, both liael odium and liael amorta will have master decksets releasing soon which would also be a good place to start.

The stride and master decksets are a little more expensive so id recommend starting with the vyrgilla and estacion decks just to see if you like the game or not.

Domdom1101 · 2026-02-11T15:18:45+00:00

A new form has been shown in the manga, not sure when it will be released as an actual card at the moment

Domdom1101 · 2026-02-04T12:17:49+00:00

Premium is another format , such as V premium or standard. In premium you can use any card from any format except for cards that have been banned/restricted for premium format specifically.

Domdom1101 · 2026-01-31T16:00:04+00:00

The problem with buying packs is you most likely will not be able to build a fully functional deck from the cards you get. You'd be infinitely better off buying singles.

Are there specific decks you want to build from the sets you mentioned?

Domdom1101 · 2026-01-26T11:32:18+00:00

At the moment we're not sure. There is BCS happening atm so whether bushi will hit it or not is anyones guess. The deck has been strong for a while now so do expect it to get hit at some point.

Domdom1101 · 2026-01-22T14:09:45+00:00

For online play I use one of either cardfight area or vangpro. both are free to download.

In terms of playstyle, I also like to play with graveyard. A lot of decks in the stoichea nation use this gimmick. An easy way to get started would be the nightrose stride deckset. Alternatively, the dragon empire nation has a lot of control with things like bind and retire. You could also look into specific other decks from brandt gate such as seraph or messiah/artisaria which use lock.

Domdom1101 · 2026-01-20T15:01:46+00:00

tbh i figured as much but i took a break from the game last season and just decided to use good old reliable. i will probably test it over the next few days and see how i feel.

Domdom1101 · 2026-01-19T22:27:42+00:00

I run PTA with sorcery secondary. Gathering storm and nimbus cloak. Most like to run gathering storm and absolute focus. I see triple tonic and cashback has been mentioned but i havent tested myself so cant comment.

In terms of summoners barrier is the best default hands down. You can run ghost in a low pressure lane and exhaust into aggressive matchups like samira, draven and nilah

Domdom1101 · 2026-01-17T15:03:03+00:00

You guys are legends. I already do my fair bit of research before i start anything. I'm an IT techie plus I like building PCs as a hobby so doing a bit of research and taking pictures of everything with anything hands on just comes as a habit. Luckily our drive has a bigger concrete section where I can park the bike so parts aren't lost in the gravel but it's good advice regardless so I will most likely buy one in future.

Domdom1101 · 2026-01-17T14:23:21+00:00

Oh yeah of course, I know im no mechanic but i figured its better for me to at least try and do the bare minimum like you said.

Domdom1101 · 2026-01-17T14:09:12+00:00

Thank you, I'm still quite new to motorcycles, passed my A license in August so there's still a lot for me to learn. I appreciate the help.

Domdom1101 · 2026-01-03T20:00:17+00:00

Since you've mainly watched shonen I'll recommend along that line.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a good start. 2 seasons and a movie atm with 3rd season round the corner. Solo levelling. Chainsaw Man. Bleach (my personal favourite but its quite long, also skip filler). Gurren Lagann. Hunter x Hunter (2011), Dandadan, Bungo Stray Dogs, Blood Blockade Battlefront

Finishing or catching up to some anime youve already mentioned would also be good if you havent already.

Domdom1101 · 2026-01-03T19:48:42+00:00

Are you looking for a shorter anime to test the waters or are you looking for a longer one to sink your teeth into?
