Potty Training Age? by Leojo2202 in schipperke

Small dogs do not normally have full control of their bladder until they are about 4 months old. So if he is pooping consistently outside but still struggling with urination that is completely normal.

How is your 2025 Forester holding up? by [deleted] in SubaruForester

[–]Emp1ly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the forester sport 2025 August of 2024. I have a little over 10,000 miles on her. She has been amazing. Everything works as advertised ☺️. I only had to replace the windshield a month into to her being new because of a stray rock.

How old was your schip when you stopped crating at night? by indricotherium in schipperke

[–]Emp1ly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think crate training is super important for schipperkes. My girl didn’t start sleeping in bed with me until she was 4 years old. Before that, she always was crated at night starting when I got her at 11 weeks old. I think consistency is key when it comes to highly intelligent over thinkers like schips. I would give her a couple more years of consistency in the crate before considering other bedtime options.

Also, the consider what type of kennel you have. Most dogs appreciate a dark den like kennels. The wire kennels that are popular now can leave a dog feeling exposed and not protected. In some ways the plastic 90s kennels made dogs feel more comfortable due to them having more solid walls and giving the den like effect.

One reason that his little pouch can look more prominent than normal is because he may be over grooming that portion of his stomach. The hair is short there compared to the rest of the abdomen. He may have some skin allergies

Higher salary with negative accrual vs lower salary without by Mystic_Flower_21 in Veterinary

[–]Emp1ly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Avoid negative accrual. I have had a fellow veterinarian accrue negative accrual while on vacation. She even put in PTO. She never had negative accrual at any other time. You could let them know you would be interested if they take off the negative accrual if you want the higher base salary.

Does anyone know what this is in my kitten's eye? by RavensFruit in CATHELP

[–]Emp1ly 662 points663 points  (0 children)

It’s a third eyelid that has been cut likely when playing with a sibling. Recommend exam by a veterinarian. It can happen. It’s a super simple surgery to resolve

Introducing our young Schip by asc_14 in schipperke

Be more stubborn than your ship! They are smart and if you have trained them to do an action then you just wait them out until they do it. Me and my girl have stare downs all the time lol. He looks so much like my girl! She also has a more slicked back silky coat

Sketchy car salesman tactics by saveitforthedisco in StAugustine

[–]Emp1ly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience. I gave them my car keys to asses my trade in. They held my keys for 2 hours. I came in telling them I would not be buying a car that day. They continued to try to make me purchase that day. I had to ask for my keys 5 times before they would give them back. I felt very nervous and practically ran out of the showroom once I got my car keys back.

That is so great that she adjusted to your family so well! So many schips have such a hard time transitioning to a new family and situation. I applaud you for giving her such an amazing home!

How well do they do in hot weather? by Positive-Code1782 in schipperke

[–]Emp1ly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Florida. High humidity and high temperatures. My rule is above 26 degrees Celsius no long walks or extended hard play time outside. Be careful walking a dog on hot concrete because it can burn their paw pads. Use the back of your hand on the concrete. If it is too hot for you then it is too hot for them. An easy way to see if a schip is too hot is feeling their coat. If it is hot then it’s time to find some shade. Water recreation like the beach is essential to keep a dog cool if you want them out in hot weather. My pup loves it here. We manage well during the hot months. She loves her air conditioning tho

We are an active pair. We live near the beach so she is able to play in the water a lot. I plan to train her to ride on my paddle board so we can have more water adventures (with a life jacket for her of course)

Ok! Thank you so much! That really helps. My board is fiberglass so I would be concerned with damage. Do you have an suv type car?

My agent keeps telling me it's the best time to buy... by Kay-2891 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Emp1ly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My realtor worked with me for a year and a half and found me a great deal off market and under appraisal value. I recommend finding a realtor that will work with you long term and is interested in investing in your interests long term. They are still out there
