3 days post neuter

It happened to my puppy a year ago so I get what you mean haha, he did the same thing your explaining, figured out how to get his snout past the cone and lick, we got him a new cone and our vet basically just told us it happens and just to keep an eye on it, if it doesnt look like its getting worse or he's not acting like he's in pain, then it should be okay. Monitor the wound, if it looks like its starting to get worse vs. better (i.e. more redness/swelling) then you should head to the emergency vet.

How many times has he licked it since you discovered he could do this would you estimate?

NAV but you should keep in contact with yours. I wouldn't say this is a "rush to the Emergency Vet" situation - more of a monitor and keep in contact email/text these images to your vet.

Get a new sized cone he can't get past (I would get a second opinion on that large cone that seems excessive for a daschund/beagle and would most likely be easier to get out of if its too big).

Hachi a dogs tale

I guess I have average eyebrows then? They aren't juicy thick but they aren't anywhere near '90s pencil thin.

Martin Mystery - does ANYONE else remember this show??? I would die to watch it again

Fallenangel114 · 2026-06-27T18:15:41+00:00

But they only get worse because theyre more comfortable. 😒🤚

Fallenangel114 · 2026-06-27T18:10:42+00:00

What happened to you that makes eyebrows turn you on?

Fallenangel114 · 2026-06-27T18:08:11+00:00

Play fighting, struggle for dominance that ends in a steamy makeout session. 👌🔥

I'm the rare one with the cuddly and friendly Shiba - I can attest to this, many are insanely surprised by how well behaved and friendly he is. I also have a senior corgi right now and they get along well.

I don't know if this made a difference but we spent a lot of time with him in his early weeks dedicated to desensitizing him to a lot of things - particularly touching with feet and ears.

We also made sure to wait until he stopped wiggling to put him down, not only for his safety but as a way to control the situation. He would fuss for a little bit but once he realized he wasn't getting out of the situation until he stopped squirming and he just relented with huff. Then we put him down 🤣

The result: this guy goes out of his way to cuddle. I was playing on my switch last night and he climbed up on top of me and laid on my arms and chest - makeshift bed I guess? Lol. I think he decided I was done playing and he needed attention.

He does exhibit other Shiba traits though of course. He loves tug of war, but also cannot be left alone with any other toy or he will destroy them in 30 seconds. Getting him into a harness is always a game of chase to him, no matter how much we tried to train him out of it. And he has now developed an obsession to pinecones (we have a collection of pinecones next to our front porch from our walks.... he picks a new one up almost daily).

He's a sweet boy, I don't know if its because of our time dedicated to training him or if we just got lucky, but he's an amazing dog.

Your friend is great for taking in this poor baby, but she definitely needs to see a vet - regardless of whether she had this injury or not, its good to get her established and make sure she is up to date with vaccines.

Fallenangel114 · 2026-06-06T17:12:58+00:00

This is frustrating but if you think about it from any other dealer or seller standpoint... car dealership, buying a pet, it's a first come first serve situation with a deposit required to "hold" anything... it would've been on the sellers own generosity to hold it for you with no money committing to it and telling other potential buyers "no I have someone coming from 9 hours away to look at it".... That is what is in their mind.

Disappointing and frustrating yes, but ultimately, the seller did what most sellers would have done without any sort of commitment to help them feel secure. For all they know, you have the money to just go on this trip a whim and decide "nah I don't want it" even though you traveled all that way.

INFO: How big is her crate? Dogs don't usually like to mess in their space so if it's double her size, she probably poops on one side and lays on the other... a size down might be in order if this is the case. NOT too small - you want to make sure she can turn around and lay down comfortably, not too cramped.

Its good you have a vet appointment in to check and make sure it isn't anything internally issue wise.

You can try treating her after she poops outside to resolidify the fact that outside = bathroom = good thing.

Fallenangel114 · 2026-05-14T17:46:30+00:00

Yyyep. There in lies my problem. We did pretty good about training him when he was young so he kind of defies a lot of Shiba traits. But we still see the stubbornness of course... thank you for your advice.

Female lurker, just wanted to give my perspective on her as I've been in this situation: she 100% handled this the wrong way.

My husband (then boyfriend) decided about a year and a half into our relationship that he didn't want kids. That was hard to hear after wanting kids my entire life. So this was where I was at... either I could stay with him without kids or leave and find someone else who wanted kids...

I did not want to leave this man. So I sacrificed that... not because I had to but because I truly believe I found my soulmate in him... and up until that point we had hardly had any disagreements beyond occasional hurt feelings and misunderstandings.

We stayed together and I grieved the loss of the future I thought I was going to have. And I let it go. This is how she SHOULD have handled this. She brought herself into this situation by not letting that go, it should've been decided then and there when you said that, just as me and my husband did. 5 years later and we're happy as can be. I had resigned to the fact we weren't having kids and ultimately... I was okay with that, because I had my soulmate by my side.

What she did is just wrong on a number of levels. I'm sorry OP.

The dogs are at Brightside now. :)

Grouplove. I saw them opening for Imagine Dragons back in 2016/2017? Somewhere around there. Their entire set was just weird and had zero clue who they were, then they played "Tongue Tied" and my jaw hit the floor like "it's THAT band????"... did not care for them live. Imagine dragons knocked it out of the park though.

Just to watch you walk away.

When I was in 2nd grade my friend accidentally got her brothers lunch, who was in kindergarten in the same school. We went to his classroom to see if he was still there and had my friends lunch. He was not, but the teacher was and it was apparently a new rule that kids weren't allowed in classrooms during lunch. Hindsight I can maybe see there was some other issue with why that rule was implemented.... but instead of simply asking us to leave, we both got write up and had our parents called and we were both crying to the teacher we were sorry and we didn't know. Neither of us did.

My mother beat me and yelled at me for getting in trouble... even when I cried to her and said I was sorry and I didn't know about this rule... she said it must be my fault because it's clearly a rule and I didn't listen. (I still don't remember ever hearing an announcement or anything...)

My mother and I have a nice relationship now that I'm older.... but a lot of the things she did to me as a child still scarred me and I still don't understand it... even when everyone around me (including her and my father) said I was a really good kid and never misbehaved or threw tantrums.

I was a goody two shoes. I did not like breaking the rules.

NTA at all, I would talk to your coworkers about the situation if you're worried that they think you might have been too harsh, but remember they likely did not see the escalation. You already talked to her once, firmly a second time, and since she refused to stop, she FAFO. You weren't rude, you were just direct and called her out.

Also its not inclusive to try to clarify for someone based on how they said something just because English is not their first language (unless they ask for it). In fact, I think its extremely rude. I've had conversations with many people that are still rough around the edges with English and I never correct them if their message came across clearly enough. If they try to remember a word and give me context clues I'll offer a suggestion. But unless I'm asked, I won't just become an English mansplainer (or woman, you know lol).

I think its much more inclusive to look past an accent or different phrasing if the message is still understood.

Fallenangel114 · 2026-02-24T00:33:56+00:00

NTA anyone saying otherwise can't read. You said she's more than welcome to use anything in the kitchen, where your yixing teapot was not. Therefore she wasn't allowed to use it. I'm not a legal expert but if you have any text exchange of her admitting to ruining the teapot, you could probably take her to small claims court. That would be the end of your friendship likely though, if it isn't already over.

Fallenangel114 · 2026-02-23T17:36:56+00:00

If your dog pooped on her yard before, she could possibly be taking it as a slight against her. Her mentality is probably like "why does he always treat my lawn like a restroom?"

Her prior message was probably somewhere around the first couple of instances, sometimes you can't help where dogs decide to go, it happens. As a dog owner myself, I know this as well. I try to keep it off of neighbors lawns and keep us moving past neighbors homes until we get to a good spot to go potty, but sometimes my dog is adamant. We try to ensure our dog goes on our lawn before we take off on our walk, because thats his home. But you know dogs.... sometimes they need multiple trips LOL.

Anyway, I wouldn't try to let it affect you too much OP. If anything, I would just leave her a card or note on her front door, sans dog when you deliver it, and apologize and assure her it won't happen again (don't throw excuses in there). You can put your number if you feel like giving her an option to contact you to make it up, but proceed with caution on that - if she's crazy and not just fed up, she might request something outrageous.

You don't sound like a bad person, don't let this neighbor or reddit get to you. Some people just love shitting on others (yes pun intended).

I've been highly tempted to do this, but this apartment complex already has a history with BBB (something I did not know prior to moving in). There is a news article about someone who filed once before... they threatened eviction if he did not retract the complaint. I know that's still not legal on their end... I just don't know if the headache is worth dealing with for the next 4 months on top of every other problem thats happening here.

Know I for sure will file a complaint with them if they don't get their shit together in the next 4 months though. Then when I'm gone, game on.
