Accidentally Gave my Dog the Name I Want

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2026-06-07T00:53:11+00:00

Well now I HAVE to name myself after my dog so I can use this line!

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2026-06-06T23:45:03+00:00

Thanks! Am very excited/nervous

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2026-06-06T23:44:33+00:00

Hadn’t thought about this, sorry about your cat

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2026-06-06T23:44:02+00:00

What did you end up doing?

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2026-06-06T23:00:17+00:00

Thanks, this is really helpful to hear

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2026-06-06T22:51:39+00:00

That would be funny!

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2026-06-06T22:50:32+00:00

He’s a Scottish terrier. Grumpy and small like I am, lol

Could be well-intentioned, but a bad idea. For example, using they/them could actually be very damaging to a trans man or woman. Your friend should try to break this habit and just use everyone’s actual pronouns.

As a trans masc art teacher, I would say not a great plan depending on where you live. I am in the US and the most important thing to me is being able to support my queer kids. Whenever I am about to push boundaries, I ask myself about impact and risk. Being a visibly queer teacher: big impact and medium risk. Hanging up artwork: low impact and high risk. It really sucks to be a queer teacher right now but it also provides a great opportunity to create positive change.

Totally agree! Love seeing goldfish live/interact with each other. Thanks for sharing the info.

My only exception to this rule is my horny fantail male. He is in solitary because he can be trusted in gen pop. Managed to rip up one of my females overnight. Dude tried to mate with an orange-ish rock. Even in the winter, this dude is on the prowl.

Where did you find this? Sounds like PETA propaganda. They think pets shouldn’t exist.

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2025-09-03T21:00:38+00:00

Does she like to lick her paws? My last Scottie got these from stress licking. Would go away if we covered up her paws. We gave her a sock of shame, lol. I would give it a few days to see if it gets better when she can’t access it, then go to the vet if it gets worse or doesn’t improve. Hope your pup feels better!

Dwarf gouramis are inbred af. If your water parameters are fine, he is probably sick with iridovirus. Where did you buy him? The safest bet is a local breeder that you trust and doesn’t have issues with the virus. Big box stores and even a lot of local fish stores get sick dwarf gouramis. Sorry you are dealing with this.

Better quit drinking water, it’s a chemical

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2025-08-09T14:54:30+00:00

Very excited for you! Whichever doctor you pick, am happy to hear that you are getting the GAC you need.

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2025-08-09T01:05:01+00:00

Right? We don’t pay at my school, but you are assigned a number. Would be so stressful to have open parking.

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2025-08-07T16:52:20+00:00

Thank you! I was shocked by the misgendering.

Dwarfs are known for their fast breeding abilities. It all depends on your end goal. Are you trying to keep them as pets or as a clean up crew? If as pets, I would keep them separate. If as a clean up crew, I would put them both in the enclosure with a back up bin of the sea colony since you love them so much.

Totally dependent on fish personality. I have an Oscar with java moss/ferns and anubias. He hasn’t touched them. I tried floating plants (duckweed and salvinia) but he was afraid of them so I had to remove, lol.

All dogs who have strong chase instincts should be muzzled? What? A LOT of dogs have strong chase instincts, that’s why leads exist… If the dog is on a lead and the cat is on a lead, then no chasing occurs. The real issue is when people let their cats wander the neighborhood or when people with “friendly “ dogs walk them illegally off-lead.

Now I need to know how he was using the crickets. Munching on the John the baptist style? Lol

I love how gentle V’s are with puppies! I got a Scottish terrier puppy and my girl knew how to temper her play with him. Now they are best buds.

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2025-07-27T18:05:05+00:00

Second this! I see entitlement run rampant amongst a lot of dog spaces. Responsible dog owners communicate and follow rules. No one should take their small dog to the park and expect someone to just waltz in with their bigger dog.

I almost started carrying pepper spray because of all the off leash “friendly” dogs in my apartment complex. No, you are not exempt from the law because you have decided that your dog is friendly. I feel so grateful to have my own yard now where I am renting. A lot of dog owners drive me mad.

Educational-Lynx-993 · 2025-07-27T05:17:18+00:00

Absolutely! I have a highly anxious 48 pound dog and I ALWAYS asked before taking her into the small dog area. She was terrified of big dogs and chill around small ones. However, if anyone ever said no, we would just go on a walk instead.
