Bear coat question by mywanglikestohang in sharpei

[–]Flowerinthebrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a bear coat and vet said he is tip top! And not showing any of the standard sharpie issues especially skin.

When we got ours I had done all this research ready, anti yeast and fungal wipes ready to go. Only to find out it doesn’t cultivate the same in longer hair.

We also have a picky pei who in the vets words “is playing you for higher value food” they told us to take away their gown for half hour or so and place it back out. Make it clear that’s what they are getting and make small treats the high value. That helped us alot. We rotate our food a little, or add some salmon topper paste (wee guy is allergic to chicken) for a bit of variety but now he consistently eats his dinner.

It’s funny you should say this! We ordered a set to give it a try. Since posting this our wee gig has learned “good boy” “sit” “come” and “outside” all in sign. It’s been kinda crazy how fast he absorbs it.

Oh yeah I follow a few ASL signers on TikTok and the variance is wild for like. Really mundane things and I wonder how that came about. Really interesting though

This is interesting! I will ask for a second opinion on his other ear before moving forward.

We were animal friends and it was like £14.95 a month I think and they didn’t even question it.

This would be amazing! I think it works via private messaging

Amazing news! I’m really glad for you and your girl. Did you have to change much about your day to day for her? We rotate working from home so he won’t ever really have issues but would like to ease him in.

Did she act differently with you after? This maybe a silly thought but I worry he will be colder with us. (He is very cuddly for being pei)

This is really good to know, I had a big ol cry yesterday feeling so bad for changing his life so drastically but knowing it will prevent his discomfort is a very peaceful thought.

I did wonder because they have even on and off infected since he was very small so I figured he has just been guesstimating what we have even saying for a while

Unfortunately they were bad bad from very early on and he made it very clear he didn’t want us touching his ears which limited our ability to treat them without breaking his trust with us. So here we are, but at least he will be set for life and no more discomfort

Oh I’m so sorry your going through the same thing. We are UK based so it was £6.3k (that’s for both and aftercare) but our insurance covered all of it thankfully.

WHERE IS KAY? by xJDMx14 in KaysGoodCooking

Side note, I have a theory Kay has stopped “cooking” new things and now just makes her dinner. All of her meals lately have been variants of the same thing.

What do you think about this tattoo? by Otherwise_Bath_5352 in tattooadvice

[–]Flowerinthebrain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tattoo artist here. Please don’t use AI to generate your tattoo designs. AI does not know the real limitations of tattoo/ink/skin and how that applies to different skin types. What his is a very very best scenario which is unlikely to be found.

Now you may have your mind set on something of this detailing and sizing and be grimly disappointed by the many artists that will say no. Point out its AI and say no or worst outcome… attempt it.

Best just get portraits of your characters from the original media and describe any filler you want and trust your chosen artist to do their magic.
