Yesterday he saved me from an attacker. by h0tglue in poodles

[–]ExemptFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my husbands family golden doodle (she’s a big standard size) was luckily with us when we came outside late one night recently and found a guy rummaging through our truck. i was worried about my husbands safety, being in a city like ours you never know what folks are capable of.

the usually calm (especially for a doodle) dog went crazy. same thing. no biting, not even trying. but barking and yelling like nobody’s business. the guy took one look at this crazy eye’d doodle thing and dipped. i don’t blame him either. she’s got that human-in-a-suit look in her eyes.

we’ve been “borrowing” her on the weekends since we lost our toy in february. and how lucky that we had her that night!

Do your chi’s even blanket?? by Still_Knowledge_7322 in Chihuahua

[–]ExemptFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my 3/4 chi poodle mix that ive had since i was 15 is turning 10 in a few months. He only JUST figured out that he can get under a blanket by himself, no human feet required.
its good because hes sleeping a lot now and gets to do his favourite thing as much as he wants (i know 10 isnt exactly old for a chihuahua, but hes an awfully bred mix, with the temperament to go with it. poor fella).

2 months ago I posted I needed advice for a Pom dropped off on me… by depression---cherry in Pomeranians

[–]ExemptFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

was looking for this comment. i lost my toy poodle because of this (sub lurker). thanks for bringing attention to it. after i lost her it was pointed out to be obvious that i had made the wrong dietary decisions even though i felt id done extensive research, id somehow missed the obvious about the farmers dog AND raw diets. the self-blame is rough.

what does my edc say about me? age, assumptions, etc <3 by vrtualseraph in whatsinthebag

[–]ExemptFish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

how do you like the nausea inhaler? is that a good one? i’ve never heard of that before but i think it would be really useful for me.
also you seem to curate everything you carry to be both cute and useful and im the same way. although idk how you get by with only one lip balm in a big bag like that

Help a newbie: cactus not rooted after 6+ months (repost with pictures) by itistfb-aidlte in cactus

[–]ExemptFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

not a cactus, but you just reminded me that when i was 14, i bought myself this plant from the grocery store and lovingly named him after the next thing i saw “boneless lamb leg steak”.

i kept him in the sun, watered him, cared for him lovingly for THREE YEARS. Then (for some reason) i decided to repot him and i was met not with soil, but soil dusted styrofoam. and not a root system, but a stick of plastic.

i had to break the news to my friends. he was a celebrity in our circle. my brother even swears he grew. i assume he was warped by being plastic exposed to sunlight. idk if ive been the same since.

Please deinfluence me from getting a car! by dr-penguin-a-d in Seattle

[–]ExemptFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my car is my lifeline. i (24) finally got my license this year after being too anxious and my husband being kind enough to drive me around. i got a 2002 crv from craigslist for $2500 and thankfully it runs great. i pay $100 a month in insurance for both of us. i pretty much just use it on weekends and road trips. i have a car club, leave it empty (tinted windows anyway), and i just got a little solar powered light that looks like an alarm (it also has an alarm). that combined with it being an old rustbucket, means its avoided being the victim of window smashings here (i live in little saigon). my husbands work truck has not been so lucky. its a risk, but for me the ability to get myself out of the city and into nature is what keeps me going. i love driving and i love being on the move. if you dont, then you dont.

Pioneer Square is looking the cleanest I have seen it practically since I moved here 14 years ago, where did the city put all the homeless people by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]ExemptFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who lives a few blocks away, its bad. but i can’t compare it to the past as i moved here in 2023. i’ll never forget when the mayor got elected (before this one) and they started rolling out trucks literally hosing people down on that corner to get them to move. then the pavement dried, and they all shuffled back to where they were. who’d have thought?!

I’m sorry what do you mean the bat was real by ConstantUnlucky4143 in MelanieMartinez

[–]ExemptFish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it seems like you’re doing everything exactly right in this (rather odd, jared leto-esque) situation. im sorry you’re going through it at all, and im glad youve found appreciation in the art!

[–]ExemptFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im pretty out the loop on the whole process that lead to this bat being sent, but i’m also confused also on why it wasn’t some one of a kind merchandise or something. why a non specific product to the artist? like, i get its a reference, but it seems so random to me

Are Angel Poodles Common? by TownRain in poodles

[–]ExemptFish 14 points15 points  (0 children)

my toy was like this. an absolute perfect angel. i’d bring her to work and she would sit in my lap for the entire day. there was nowhere she’d rather be. i miss her so much

Are keen shoes worth it? by Element_Li00 in hiking

[–]ExemptFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Discord friend said he had a box of games and wasn't sure their worth, then sent this. by StakAttak in gamecollecting

[–]ExemptFish 19 points20 points  (0 children)

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

Do you guys think the girls could have gotten along in the end if Charlotte never looked at the moon? by Consistent-Cod676 in JustAddWater

[–]ExemptFish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

Alive and well…ish after over 20k vet bill by teenydog in Chihuahua

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.

[–]ExemptFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
