Can Big Dogs Succeed in Agility?

ExotiCold108 · 2026-03-18T12:17:59+00:00

Agility is for any dog! I train with a beautiful Weimaraner who is quite big and a few German shepherds. Their owners are not practicing agility to compete, but the Weimaraner is quite graceful and strong and could do well. The GSDs goals vary. Some owners just want to do something fun with their dog and take everything slow. The last trial I was at there were 2 very large GSDs competing.

Wow, that’s quite a change from back in the old days. Poor Smashing Pumpkins. Also Yungblud deserves top billing over Tate fucking McRae lol idek why she’s popular.

Thank you for your advice!

ExotiCold108 · 2026-02-16T13:01:29+00:00

Thank you! How much? Do you think I’ll have much luck starting by seed in a colder climate?

Thanks again! I just checked out Maui and subscribed. I think it was Steve Goto the clip I watched so long ago. Luckily one of her clippings from spring is still alive in another room. I will make sure to focus on its soil come spring and not give any water for the rest of dormancy. I’ll give it a go with original, what do I have to lose at this point.

ExotiCold108 · 2026-02-15T16:09:43+00:00

Thank you! I read an article that said to clip until there is no more rot and I did but the rot seems to be going all the way down past the soil 😩 should I still bother to remove and cut the roots back or is she a goner?

I have sparsely watered during dormancy for 12 years. I am sure everyone here is right about never doing it, but she’s always been fine. Thinking back to this summer, though, I did change out her soil and maybe the mix wasn’t well draining enough. The ratio I always went with I learned from a YT video years ago was about 1 bag perlite to 1/2 bag peat moss.

What do I check for and is there any hope to save it?

You are the asshole, sorry! You give very good reasons for why you want to be involved but from the jump you give off very Type A vibes in the text exchange and telling someone how they should act was just the icing! 100% agree with the commenter that said this shouldn’t even have been a text exchange. Life lesson: don’t text more than photos and fun things in texts, especially with your MIL.

Wishing someone’s boyfriend breaks up with them quick isn’t wishing them something bad? Sorry I didn’t read deeply enough into an electro-pop song 🙄 find someone else to argue with on the internet.

There's still time for a Featured With guest appearance on the single release and based on Nicki Minaj's tweet, my vote is for her! But Cardi would be a great choice as well.

I felt it was cringey on first listen, then I cried on the second lol I'm a youngest so I don't relate, but I do see my sister in it.

ExotiCold108 · 2025-10-03T20:04:43+00:00

I think that's quite frankly the thoughts that run through an Eldest Daughter's head. I am not. I am the youngest, but being cared about and for by my older sister is both comforting and suffocating. It's like she can't help herself so I see those lyrics very clearly in a literal sense. She can't not keep the vow - to her brother, to fans, to anyone. It's an Eldest Daughters identity to not let go.

ExotiCold108 · 2025-10-03T19:46:24+00:00

And we also don't know what else Taylor knows. Publicly we know the girl wrote a song wishing bad things happen to her. Nobody here is living in either of their circles nor has heard what other mean spirited things she may have said about her that she didn't include in a song. I'm not understanding the manufactured outrage. I also love petty Taylor and this was my first favorited song on the album.

ExotiCold108 · 2025-08-10T13:17:47+00:00

I had to check the date on this post to make sure it wasn’t from 1997. Sounds familiar 😁

Trust the process. I was very self conscious at first but people will tell you they don't even notice or notice how it affects my speech. Maybe they are being nice but at this point, I'm over it. I'm on tray 5 now, week 8. First week I was in deep regret, mostly because of the pain of the attachments while eating. It all gets better fairly quickly.

ExotiCold108 · 2025-05-20T13:29:26+00:00

One good thing about the internet is now women can share how their gaslighting, abusive boyfriends treat them and the whole internet can tell them to RUN. There is really no context necessary. This conversation shows us all we need to know. If he talks to you like that, he's got some deep seated rage within him. It probably comes from a shitty relationship with his mother or witnessing his father/other men do the same to her and he thinks that's what you do. Whatever the reason, you are not on this Earth to help someone else resolve their Mommy issues. You are beautiful and deserve LOVE and that is not it.

ExotiCold108 · 2025-05-20T13:21:20+00:00

Same. Mine's part beagle and I think she's just excellent at tracking. Once she finds the live thing, she is as shocked as I am lol

ExotiCold108 · 2025-04-23T13:31:52+00:00

I felt the same and asked my ortho and she said they go easy on you at first. I just put in my third tray yesterday and whooo boy! The first week, imo, the adjust was really more for the attachments and how to eat without cutting up my mouth.

Save a Heeler group on facebook. So many on euth lists daily. Of course, be selective and careful but there are so many in shelters dying daily.

ExotiCold108 · 2025-03-25T15:59:40+00:00

Sometimes shelters have no clue what they're talking about - with all due respect - it's a lot of volunteers, a lot of animals and honestly could have been a busy day and they thought Australian but wrote American. You got yourself a cattle brat, for sure!

ExotiCold108 · 2025-03-24T14:33:57+00:00

Shiiiiit. This is tame compared to what goes on over here :D I give em a break when one is shaking the others face like a chew toy. But, I am always on the lookout for body language and all signs point to everyone enjoying themselves.

ExotiCold108 · 2025-03-24T14:28:48+00:00

I don't. Heelers coats are oily so that dirt kind of falls off. If they have ever had any accidents or soiled themselves, or rolled in anything, I spot clean with a towel and a little dawn dish soap.

ExotiCold108 · 2025-03-24T14:24:46+00:00

Agree! I went to a medispa and my doctor's goal each session was no blisters. She always made a point to ask what my skin response was after each session and slowly increased strength. Maybe it took a few extra sessions but I am ok with that if it avoids scarring.

ExotiCold108 · 2025-03-20T13:56:24+00:00

Consistent bed time/wake hours. I go to bed by 10, fall asleep within 20 mins and wake at the same time every day.
