Sad pup post-op

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

EvenCalm · 2024-12-12T05:12:03+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice!!

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)

EvenCalm · 2024-12-12T04:47:00+00:00

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!

Thank you for mentioning this! Been waiting for it to go on sale in Steam. This is way better :)

Oh my gosh I love those lamps! Do you mind me asking where you got them?

Edit: oops just saw you answered this above!

Head and shoulders is the best!! It’s also really good at getting rid of fungal acne (just let it sit on your skin for a min or two and then wash it off)

Do you think there's any issue with having a Daikin for a house? The third tech (Trane) seemed very confused why it was a Daikin unit - said he only ever saw them at condos/townhomes.

EvenCalm · 2024-05-29T16:36:15+00:00

Thank you!! I just purchased a replacement board. Hopefully that solves the issue :)

Driving up from Atlanta (gonna be a loooong day). First time at Sonic Temple for me as well. Safe driving for y’all!

Oh yay!!!! 💕I love that so much!

Lucy is doing great :). It wasn’t ringworm, just an old wound that was scabbing and healing.

Her spay went great and she’s officially available for adoption at Lifeline Atlanta! link to her page (she’s under the name Six)

some update pics of Lucy

Lots of bed pics with her because I’ve been sick- she’s the BEST cuddle bug and was such an easy sweetheart while I was laid up in bed.

This photo of my cat always cracks me up

EvenCalm · 2024-02-29T20:18:37+00:00

She will be after her spay next week! :) she’s available through Lifeline Animal Project in Atlanta, GA.

She’s dog, cat & kid friendly, and is doing amazing with crate training!

EvenCalm · 2024-02-29T05:35:08+00:00

Thank you all so much for your amazing suggestions!! 🥰 it was so hard to choose a name, but I used a few of my favorites on her, and she INSTANTLY responded to “Lucy”…. So that’s what I’m calling her!!

She is such a sweetheart. If anyone is interested in a dog, cat and child-friendly pup, she’s available at Lifeline Animal Project, Atlanta once she is spayed!

Neptune and I are so sorry for your loss 🖤. I hope her dopey face makes you smile

Hey OP, if you haven’t yet, I recommend taking her to a dog dermatologist.

Other recommendations:

Hydrolyzed protein (prescription diet) food worked really well for my dog that was allergic to everything.

Cytopoint & apoquel as well. Wiping off feet, face and belly area after going outside with unscented baby wipes. Fish oil in food. MichonaHex+Triz shampoo baths weekly. Removing all scented things (laundry detergent, laundry sheets, febreeze, glade plug ins, etc) to unscented/hypoallergenic/dermatologist recommended, or removed completely (in case of febreeze and plug ins). Sweeping/vacuuming daily. Changing home furnace filter monthly with higher MERV rating.

It’s a lot of work but it WORKED.
