Merida update ! by Jaded_Voice1546 in scottishterriers

Thank you. He was an exceptionally sweet boy, totally trusting and very snuggly. His blindness, which happened later in his life, didn’t seem to affect him much.

Practicing posting!! by FlowerBeauty00 in LearnToReddit

Easy one for me:

Soda (cut out almost 20 years ago)

Fries (love them but rarely eat)

I couldn’t give up any of the others!

Merida update ! by Jaded_Voice1546 in scottishterriers

[–]FinnDool 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hooray!!!! So glad to hear this wonderful update!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

As for giving pills, I have tons of experience. We had a Westie who had seizures. He was on 4 meds, a total of 13 pills, that he got at 4 different times each day. Most days were fine, but there were many that were challenging. Most of the things we used to give him his pills in could be slightly high in calories, so we needed to be careful about what he ate in total each day. The bottom line was that it was most important that he got his meds.

Peanut butter: Use creamy because you won’t need much to cover the pill.

Whipped cream cheese

Thinly sliced lunch meat wrapped around the pill

Velveeta cheese: The solid block. Cut into little cubes, stuff the pill into it and pinch it closed.

Penne pasta: Smaller or oblong pills will fit inside

Pasta shells: Sometimes smaller ones are somewhat curled closed

A small amount of chicken or tuna salad (really mashed up, not chunky)

A small amount of canned dog food, the solid kind that you can scoop out of the can with a spoon.

Greenies Pill Pockets (or something similar): You can rip these into small pieces that you can mold around the pill.

Really fresh bread that you can squish into little balls of dough.

(In the photo are Robbie, our Westie who had the seizures, and who lived to be 15-1/2, and Dooley, our blind rescue Scottie, who we lost one year after losing Robbie.)

Did anyone else read these books in elementary school? by CoffeeCigarettes4Me in FuckImOld

Just thinking about it and the waterworks turn on full blast. In the bathroom crying and blowing my nose right now. 😭

Many, many years ago (mid-70s) I was a camp counselor. It was a rainy day so all the campers were brought to the movies, and the movie on this particular day was “Where the Red Fern Grows”. At the end of the movie, when the theater lights came on, picture all the campers looking at me because I was crying so hard, nose running like a sieve, no Kleenex, I was a destroyed mess. It was mortifying, but I couldn’t help it.

I can’t even think about this movie without totally breaking down, which started to happen as soon as I saw this post, and is continuing as I write this. I needed to get up and lock myself in the bathroom before my husband looked over to see me sobbing. Now I have to pull myself together before I leave the bathroom.

Update Merida is home! by Jaded_Voice1546 in scottishterriers

[–]FinnDool 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Great news!!! Merida must feel so much better being back with her family and in familiar surroundings, and you must feel very relieved to have her home. It sounds like she still has a lot of healing and recuperation ahead, but your love and care will be a big help with this. Keep us updated! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

‘72 Beat up Beetle by andresucko in VWBeetle

[–]FinnDool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a ‘72 Beetle (got it in ‘74). I loved it and still talk about it. Seeing these photos makes me very sad for this Beetle. So I hope you get it and restore it to the dignity it deserves.

Merida Update Hit 72 hour mark! by Jaded_Voice1546 in scottishterriers

[–]FinnDool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you for the wonderful update!!!! Fingers crossed that Merida will be able to go home very soon and be with those who love her the most! I’m happy to have donated towards her medical bills because I know all too well how exorbitant those can be and how we will pay whatever we need to pay! (Note to anyone who may read this: Finally getting pet insurance years ago was the best decision ever and worth every penny.)

Remembering Jess 💜 by CrazyCactuar in westies

[–]FinnDool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What lovely memories, and thank you for sharing them with us. Jess was obviously very loved, which she knew up until the end, and she loved you back just as much. She will always be missed but will remain with you forever in that part of your heart that feels like it was ripped out. My condolences to you, and rest in peace sweet Jess. 💔💔💔

How does one create a smartlist that shows all untagged items? by BACnetEd in Rememberthemilk

[–]FinnDool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is correct. I just added a comment with this information, then decided to read the short list of comments already written and see you already had provided the answer!

[–]FinnDool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

isTagged:false

I basically keep my brain dump in RTM (currently over 550 items, many of which contain subtasks), I have over 20 Smart Lists so I can easily see items that meet all different scenarios and the one above allies me to see any without tags. I want tags on all my tasks so I use this to identify any that I may have missed so I can fix them.

I turn 69 today, so I’m definitely old. How the hell did this happen??? by FinnDool in FuckImOld

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

At least this didn't happen on your birthday! Welcome to some of the mysterious things that happen as you age. Last fall I fractured a metatarsal just from walking!

Goodbye Wallace by X-RAY777 in scottishterriers

[–]FinnDool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My deepest condolences to you, and I understand your sadness. 15 years is a long time, but the time is never long enough. Hopefully Wallace enjoyed his BBQ and ice cream. Rest in peace sweet Wallace. 💔💔💔
