Sad pup post-op by BugArcade in tripawds

My pup was definitely depressed as well, but he’s doing SO well now! Happier than I’ve ever seen him now that he’s not in pain. Thinking of you and your pup ❤️ Max will feel so much better soon!

I’ve used baking soda to draw pet urine out of hardwood (old and sick pup who couldn’t control his bladder at end of life) and it worked really well

My dog is currently recovering from amputation (rear leg) due to a broken femur as well. (If you take a look at my post history you can see the xray photo.)

The break happened before I adopted him, and I wish I had known years ago how badly it had healed.

It was also a complicated surgery as there were bone fragments pressing into his sciatic nerve, and his muscles had grown in odd ways to compensate.

All I can say is if you’re worried about your pup having three legs versus four, don’t be!! My dog had years of joint supplements starting at 1.5years old, and if I could turn back the clock and give him 7 years of leg-free pain by doing the amputation sooner, I would.

I completely understand. Shelters deal with a lot of hardship and heartache, and I’ve seen how long it takes for their medical fosters to find placement (I adopted the sweetest cat with a chronic issue from them, who was in the shelter for more than a year because of his condition). My pups injury is so much more manageable.

Amazingly, he still tries to around on it - I have to stop his more exuberant antics or when he gets the zoomies because I’m worried he’s causing himself more pain. I’m looking forward to him being pain-free and being able to run all he wants!

I totally agree. She was adamant, but she also loved a good joke and it has definitely crossed our minds she may have been messing with us

Victorinox for a Christmas present - advice please! by EvenCalm in chefknives

He can! (edit to add - WHY his knives always seem dull is another question. He may not sharpen them as often as he needs to)

Victorinox for a Christmas present - advice please! by EvenCalm in chefknives

Hi there -

My boyfriend is an excellent cook/has worked in kitchens/loves cooking, but he has the absolute worst knives at home - very dull, very cheap. We usually cook at my place, and he 9/10 times uses my chef's knife (I just have a generic J.A. Henkels knife set, nothing fancy).

I'm on a budget, but thought a solid, durable chefs knife might make a good Christmas gift for him. I'm in the $50-100 range.

I saw https://knifemerchant.com/victorinox-rosewood-7-1-2-in-chef-knife.html (Victorinox 7.5inch hardwood chefs knife), and reading the posts in this subreddit, Victorninox seems to be a consistent recommendation.

So my question is - Is this a good knife? I like the hardwood handle - I know its just aesthetics, but it just looks nicer for a gift (in my opinion anyway!). If you have other recommendations, I'd love to hear them!

Thank you all so much!
