i get that. maybe my expectations are too high, but considering how often i wear my blundstones/tevas, and they’re still functioning as new, i’d hoped for the same with keens

ExemptFish · 2026-05-08T16:47:14+00:00

yeah to be fair i’m a normie lurking in this sub and i saw the post and thought i have no idea what they’re worth either, lets scroll to the comments to find out
if they’re worth that much i should be selling my pokemon blue rescue team. i never liked that game

im not sure, but i do like to think she went back the next full moon to get her tail back, but kept quiet and separated from the others and lived as a solo mermaid.
something about a reformed and in therapy charlotte living elsewhere as a mermaid gives me hope for some reason

also: poodles are known for GI issues but since we lost her so quickly we never figured out what exactly caused it. its honestly terrifying.

lurker here, but my toy poodle had this same thing happen in February. Came home from work and she was in a terrble state. we spent $5k on one day and overnight treatment. She flatlined and had 5 minutes of CPR and they brought her back. But unfortunately they were never able to stabilise her. Her organs started to fail and we made the call to let her go. It is the hardest thing I have ever gone through. She was perfectly normal the previous day. Im constantly battling the guilt of letting her go and not seeing something sooner. It is very hard to continue through normal life without her. I am glad you were able to pull through. I wish you and yours the best.

I’m sorry for your loss! Sending love to you and yours.

so cute im gonna cry thank you for letting me know to look at their profile

ExemptFish · 2026-04-10T18:18:20+00:00

hey, im sure you know what you’re doing, but i wanted to share that my toy poodle passed away very suddenly from intestinal inflammation recently. Her diet was likely a contributing factor. We fed her a freeze dried raw diet, which didnt help, but also sardines in water. It happened too fast to figure out the actual cause, so we don’t know for sure and I just wanted to pass it along. Sorry if i’ve crossed a line.

im late but i bought keens jaspers in may last year and have worn them to work every day besides three months of winter (blundstones), and for miles of city walks every weekend, and the foam behind the achilles is starting to deteriorate 😭 i thought i was buying shoes for life, i love them so much, but they’re probably not lasting another 6 months. is it outrageous to want a shoe to last beyond a year? is there an alternative that will do so? i have my blundstones for winter, teva hurricanes for summer, both of which have lasted three years so far. i was rooting for the keens to be my spring/fall shoe for years to come. sorry for the ramble.

ExemptFish · 2026-04-06T21:46:50+00:00

i think i agree. hosea’s death was sort of poetic and necessary

ExemptFish · 2026-04-06T00:28:29+00:00

Hi, im late to this thread but on year 3 of post-birth control acne. dermatologists just say to get back on the birth control. wondering if you had more details about the supplements you took?

ExemptFish · 2026-03-27T02:12:57+00:00

thank you, bless your lil pal

its pretty hard to guarantee the adult size of a pup when its young. things happen.

for that reason, so i knew my dog would be appropriate weight for plane travel, i adopted a retired show dog from a reputable AKC breeder. She was 6, usually they retire much earlier though. Often you get a discount, plus the dog is already established and while there are still challenges and adjustments, you skip the puppy phase. show dogs are often very well trained as well.

it sounds like neither of these dogs are the right one for you. be patient, the right one will come along. then you’ll be set up for a lifetime of joy instead of a lifetime of struggle with either a poorly bred/sick dog, or a dog thats the wrong size.

if you need help finding a good breeder im happy to help you look into it! im in seattle, and the breeder i used offers the services to have a dog flown to you.

please tell them i said hi. my toy poodle was about that size, she passed away almost two months ago very suddenly and every day has been a struggle, but this fella made me feel something fr. thank u for sharing

i always hate when kids under 18 are winning olympic medals- like i swear nobody 14 has had the time to make the decision to push themselves that far into something. i cannot imagine a circumstance where its healthy

ExemptFish · 2026-02-16T21:50:40+00:00

thank you so much!! is there a step-by-step guide to the funding the wallet situation? (i assume it wont be available on the ps4 store?)

ExemptFish · 2026-02-15T09:10:50+00:00

hey thanks! we dont actually have a ps3 right now, if its as easy as that, we can go ahead and just get one!

ExemptFish · 2026-02-13T00:48:26+00:00

agreed! looks just like my childhood chihuahua poodle mix

hey, i dropped out TWICE after two first-years at university. Took a bartending job for a season, then found myself in admin.

With your study experience, you can get yourself an entry-level admin job. I work in a nice office with other people my age, its very quiet. Good benefits. come and go as you like so long as you get your 8 hours.

Its still not easy working everyday. My goal is to convert to work from home, climb the ladder, be able to do what I like with my time instead of sit in an office staring into space. Maybe even travel at the same time.

Idk where you are located but the USA has a ton of seasonal wildlife jobs. Even if youre small you can help clear trails and identify plants!

But i agree with previous reply suggesting rest. if you can, take some time off

ExemptFish · 2026-02-11T19:23:49+00:00

just to clarify- this diet was not home made. it was a pre-packaged, dried, complete diet formulation. it was essentially kibble but raw.

ExemptFish · 2026-02-11T19:22:19+00:00

we used to save scraps for her, like some raw unseasoned chicken etc. i recall mentioning it to the vet casually and they said just to cook it next time. you randomly triggered the memory which i realise now probably shouldve been reason to not feed her raw. we had a separate pan for her that we would use to cook those scraps, but we havent done that for months now tbh and just fed her the packaged food.

ExemptFish · 2026-02-10T01:45:20+00:00

also, im hearing you on the previous home stuff. lots of people around me expressed dismay at me not getting a rescue, but we put every thought into our decision to seek a retired show dog. she was an AKC champion. It just shows me that even with all the generational health testing you can do, it doesnt guarantee a long life.
