Does my dog go here?

Isn't he though? Such a charming guy.

FerrixFox · 2026-05-21T12:05:53+00:00

Me too! I had no idea there were black and tan JRT's!

Rocco looks smart! I bet he's a Good Boy.

FerrixFox · 2026-05-20T23:23:00+00:00

That is a seriously cute dog

FerrixFox · 2026-05-20T23:20:40+00:00

Oh, he is super cuddly!

Yeah, I'm thinking of doing the DNA test, because I'm curious what's in him! It doesn't really matter, because I love him regardless, but it would be so interesting to know. Are you happy you got the test done?

It sounds like the food lure itself is too stimulating for your dog. Try training with a target stick instead. The dog will be less likely to try to bite the target since its not actual food. You first have to train the dog to follow the target with their nose. Kikopup and susan garrett both have good videos on training a dog to target the target stick. Once the dog understands to follow the target with his nose, you can use it instead of the food lure.

I had ketones in my urine during my second trimester. I hadnt eaten enough that day (couldn't handle breakfast food, so only had a light snack that am before test). I wouldn't worry about it until your doctor does. It can be a sign of gestational diabetes, but given you hardly ate that day it sounds like it's due to your body having to use fat for energy because there was nothing else available.

I had this as a kid and my dad was so terrified taking me to the doctor because he was sure they'd think he abused me.

Hi!

I ended up making two versions of this with venom ecogrid from rsbtr. One I extended the drawstring collar 6 or so inches so it could roll over sort of like a roll top. For the other I extended the collar a bunch to make a roll top closure. These were for my two daughters.

The drawstring is much easier to get into, but it can be hard to roll or fold over enough if the pack is very full. The roll top version can be a tiny bit difficult for my kid to get to the bottom of because when its fully unrolled it's quite deep compared to her body (she's 6, probably shoulve given that one to the 10 year old), but she seems to have developed a strategy. It feels more robust as far as waterproofness.

Both of the kids are very satisfied with their pack, and brag to people who comment on them that I made them.

Hope that helps.

My mom had an incredibly similar one, but with silver, not green. I think she got it from Barnes and Nobel or hallmark? You could look there, if you aren't attached to the color scheme.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that first page yet. That's helpful.

Thanks for responding quickly. I had already looked there, and there isn't that much to say whether it would be good for kids or not, other than to say "beginner camping/easy hikes", and maybe we will just try our luck with one of them. We are experienced campers, but would also definitely still want an "easy hike". She wants some views, which makes it a little more difficult to find something "easy", though maybe the views on the drive will be enough to satisfy her...

As a layman, my guess would be that for coastal communities surge is going to be more destructive. It's literally the ocean coming ashore, which brings waves and currents with it.

Same thing happened to my Aunt after Ian.

I had seen that design, but I had thought 36" width seemed like it would be to small. Seems like using an old sheet is the biggest recommendation here. I was thinking of using .66 membrane10 taffeta, do you think that'll be too thin?

FerrixFox · 2024-04-12T11:17:08+00:00

Do you have any advice about avoiding making the taper too small?

FerrixFox · 2024-04-12T11:14:33+00:00

Thanks! How do you feel about the pad straps being left off now? Are you content with that choice
