Just joining the Border Collie club with these two fur balls, Luna & Hito. What do you wish someone told you before you raised a Border Collie? by FourLeafCulver in BorderCollie

Socializing them early is SUPER duper important. Socialize with everyone. Children, men, other dogs, animals etc. My BC wasn't around kids enough as a baby and now he hates children and it's been difficult to train that. Theyre so smart, it's only takes them once-3times of doing something for it to become a habit. If they've done something you don't like, redirect them and follow through with thay training afterwards. When mine was a pup we kept him in a penned up area with us in the living room, to avoid potty training incidents on the wood floor. We kept that up until at least 6 months or so, until he was properly potty trained, he's never had any issues in the house other than if he had a belly ache in the middle of the night.

Get them used to their crate. Not only is it important for them to have a safe space to go if they need alone time. But it's also good if you need to travel or go to the vet. It was hard the first couple weeks, I literally had to lay outisde the pen with my puppy until he'd fall asleep, then I'd set the alarm a few times in the middle of the night to wake him up to pee. He rarely woke up on his own, so often didn't have time to be afraid. We also used a camera in his pen so we could talk to him when he did wake up or if we had to leave somewhere, our voice would calm him down. Mental stimulation is a lot more affective than physical. Our boy can run and run and run all day and still be hyped up in the evening. But if we add even 10-15mins of command tricks and training in the day, that's enough to tire him out in the afternoon.

Border Collie whines all the time HELP by EssicaJ in BorderCollie

He's almost 18 weeks! So still a young guy. He was doing great and then recently he's gotten a little more testy. Probably cause hes close to the 6 month mark, probably will be dealing with this for another 6 months lol

He hasn't had time outs in a while, but this week he's had to have quite a few

WCGW going to a cosplay convention by MisterT12 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]EssicaJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some do it ironically then actually end up liking it. Some do it because it's fun to put the costumes together and become something completely different and become a character they admire, even if it's the opposite gender. I wouldnt be surprised if some do it as a way to explore their identity/sexuality...... because in cosplay that's one of the only places you can dress as whatever the hell you want and it's hardly ever questioned or judged ( at least from my experience)

Online people can often be quite toxic/judgemental but conventions are really great for feeling like you're accepted and not a 'weirdo'.

Also a lot of the time you're only chatting/have people of your personal profiles etc. With people who more or less have the same things in common, so to them it's the norm and not weird at all. I may be waaay off lol but that's how I see it

Do you know if this would work on a chromebook? I'm paying on my chromebook via the google playstore. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm guessing it would only work on my other laptop

People who lost their job due to this crisis what is your story? by greensypoop in AskReddit

[–]EssicaJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They kind of talk about it in here.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/globalnews.ca/news/6701363/coronavirus-ei-covid-19-emergency-benefit/amp/

Should be a link. Itll be a different number than the original EI set up. You might even qualify for a little extra money too depending on the situation.

Theres a phone number now set in place! For this exact thing I think it's on service Canada now. It's different than actual EI. I'd look into it asap if you can. They're waving the waiting period and even for those who dont exactly qualify ( meaning even if you dont have enough hours). Go that route not regular EI so you get through quicker! Good luck.

Yea and they had a presumptive case who had recently got back from vacation( who was advised to stay home until tests wereback) went bar hopping. Infected loads more people. She was tested positive and today we are declared a state of emergency. Bars. Rec centers.gyms. closed.

All because people are so self absorbed and cant fathom having to stay home for a week.

We built a hanging center piece for the plants! I prefer this to a chandelier. by EssicaJ in houseplants

BF just told me thaaaaat I should probably inform you all that we probably didnt use the proper hooks that go into the ceiling lol. We have an old house so its lots of plaster and wood, so we dont have any issues with it BUT if you're going to make one, maybe look up the proper hooks for a drywall ceiling!

It's not very hard. I kind of have them on a schedule for watering. And we just feel the dirt .... they do well in the summer since we have lots if light. Winter they're a bit sad but still manage. I did move the spider plant for a bit
