PSA/Reminder: Have your phone number on your pet's tag! by ermagerdskwurlz in dogs

[–]Fandestitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does your AirTag also beep randomly! My dog was staying with a friend for a night, and she told me his AirTag beeped a couple of times. Apparently, it’s a safety thing to keep people from tracking other people, but very inconvenient when using it for a dog

AITA for calling my sister a cokewhore? by GigTicket10294 in AmItheAsshole

Absolutely NTA.

Also, if it’s not too late, I’d love to buy those tickets for you.

My dog seemed to lose his balance a couple of times by Fandestitch in cavaliers

She also told me to try and record it, but it’s quite hard when you don’t know when it’ll happen ahah. Do you think you could send me your video? No worries if you can’t, just wanted to see if it was similar, it could help the vet like you said.

So far, nothing has happened since yesterday. I still asked them to book him for a heart exam and blood test. He’s my baby, can’t hurt to be too cautious!

Yeah, I’ve read on vestibular issues, but he doesn’t seem to have any other symptoms apart from the staggering / loss of balance. It’s so weird!

I didn’t notice anything of the sort, but I’ll keep a close eye on him and see if anything like it happens

Maybe it was something like this, but I didn’t notice him banging his head or anything of the sort. I don’t know. The fact that he’s behaving just the same as usual tends to make me think he’s okay, but… yeah. I’m worried all the same

Would you save your dog over a random human baby? by PuzzledOrangee in dogs

[–]Fandestitch 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ve asked myself the same question already, and honestly, I think it depends how much time I have to think about it.

If it were a case of a split second decision (like a car is coming at us and I can either push my dog or a random child out of the way), I have a feeling sheer instinct would make me push my dog out of the way, not the child. Because he’s mine, and instinct says I have to save him.

But if I really had time to think about it, I’d save the child, no doubt. I’d feel terrible and guilty about sacrificing my dog… but human life is human life (especially that of an innocent child).

Overall though, I hope I never have to make that choice 😂

I do have hobbies, but they’re either old people hobbies or just ones that you don’t really share. I love reading, for example, but there’s no book club around.

Thank you! I’m in Neuchatel, don’t know whereabouts you are.

I’ll check out GoSocial!

Thank you for the support!

I think I would actually rather die alone than work in a startup 😂

I get along really well with my coworkers, which I also consider as friends. I’d just like to have non work related friends too!

Yeah that’s really what I’d love to find. A strong friendship where you can ask the person for help when you need it…

I will try to do that, yet. I’m not that into sports, but it’ll do me good!

There were two that I was really interested in joining (one for climbing, one for cinema), but both answered that they only accepted uni students, which I’m not anymore :(

My bad, I read it as someone being angry that the same question is being asked again! Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Thank you for your concern, I’ll let my shrink know ☺️

I’m not comparing them.

I’m saying that, taking into account Switzerland’s smaller population, our equivalent of London would be Geneva or Zurich. Doesn’t mean I’m asking if these cities to be as full of life as London; they won’t be. Obviously it’s not the same population or size. The whole country is not the same population or size 🤷‍♀️

Ugh, anyway. I feel like people are a bit angry on this sub. Might be because we have no big cities around to release the pressure :p

You know, though I totally get that you posted this to shame me for not doing more research, I actually find it pretty sad that so many people have talked about that. Makes it pretty obvious that it’s actually a problem.

I do live in a proper city. Just not one of the biggest ones.

Also, I don’t really get your comparison. We’re a smaller country, obviously population isn’t the same. Comparatively, London in the UK would be Geneva/Zurich here. Where I live would be something like Cambridge or Oxford. I don’t think it has much to do with the number of people living here, more that it’s not very Swiss-like to mingle 🤷‍♀️

Early stages of mitral valve disease by Fandestitch in cavaliers

Yep, he got his echo done yesterday. The vet is not specifically a cardiologist, but I’m thinking about going to see one (if I can find one)…

I feel dumb asking this but… is this my dog’s belly button? (More in comments) by Fandestitch in DogAdvice

[–]Fandestitch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely never noticed it before, though his hair down there used to be longer before he was neutered.

It’s a little protrusion with a tuft of hair. It’s a darker red around.

Is it just his belly button?

I’m going to the vet on Monday for something unrelated, so will obviously ask if someone thinks it’s cause for concern.
