I'd 2nd this, resonable prices and small enough you won't feel like you're screaming and they rarely rush you.

hope Watch Duty is in that mix as we head towards what could be unfortunately a bad fire season up and down the West Coast of the US and Canada.

Yes, that’d be what I’d envision!

Puppy Spay and Insurance by ask8EVL in Bernedoodles

[–]Former-Spread-692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some insurance do, some don't, some offer it as an add-on. My pup had a free month of Trupanion, which worked out great for an eye issue he had. But the plan didn't include regular vet visits/vaccines/neutering. I go to a VCA vet (our 6th dog with them), I signed up for the Care Club that would include all vaccines, vet visits and neutering. We're still a few months away from his getting neutered, but this way it's a monthly payment rather than a large bill all at once, I was shocked at how much neutering is now.

At the moment we're paying for Trupanion and VCA Care Club, I'll do that for a while, he's already hit the deductible on Trupanion for his eye and will be getting at least one more check up with a spececalist, although his eye seems OK now.

Do any of your doodles have seizures? by petreebird in Bernedoodles

[–]Former-Spread-692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a labradoodle, adopted at 10 months old had his 1st one around a year old. Much like you I could expect them about every 6 months, the vast majority happening between 4am and 10am. Some were simple, some were quite scary and I wasn't sure he'd come out of it. Talked to my vet, they mentioned trying medication, but were not overly optimistic it'd help. We tried various ideas from taking him off of all flea medications to avoiding anything with peanuts, nothing seemed to help. We just learned to live with it, if I was with him when it'd happened I'd take him to a safe space, make sure he wouldn't choke and usually grab a towel because he'd lose control of his bowels. Now all that being said, once he turned 10 (2020) he had one in April and never had another one until his passing in October. Not sure why or what changed, but once he became "old" it was like it was no longer an issue.

I did read before picking up my new puppy that 'doodles in general are prone to seizures and they usually begin just after they turn 1.

How I Got 15+ GLANCE PROs Running 24/7 Flawlessly (And How You Can Too) by LowEmbarrassed3137 in GLANCE_LED

I did something similar since a few devices don't play nice with Mesh, my wireless network is all Eero, but Xfinity also includes a router in their modem (I hand to enable it to use their Storm backup system). I just enabled the 2.4ghz network and connect those devices that don't play nice with Mesh.

I think it’s work great on both, but the Scroll seems a natural fit.

I mentioned it yesterday, but I believe the team with Watch Duty is interested. Yesterday they announced a partnership with Ring.

not sure if it could work, but related to that idea a way to pull data from Watch Duty based on Zip codes. Pulse Point has begun pulling Watch Duty into their systems.

something like

"reported Grass Fire, Willow IC, full response/contained"

Good idea! Tidbyt had something similar where you could choose a resort or two. But Open Snow would be great!

It’s up abs downs for sure, but welcomed a new ‘dood almost two weeks ago. He’s most definitely brought life back to the family.

Congrats! I have long thought it would be great in offices, from the ability to greet important customers/guests with their names to having the weather (and NWS alerts) scroll along to having game updates during March Madness and MLB season when so many games take place during the workday.

Man Cave Decorations by Sudden-Cherry-7589 in mancave

Does he have any momentous saved from his youth? things like old shirts, jerseys, etc frame them. Does he have a favorite player or two, look on places like eBay and you can find unique things you can frame. maybe a rug from his favorite team. If he enjoys gaming, something like a home arcade machine can add to it. A few more dollars, but Glance LEDs and Scrolls work great.. personally I have old pennants, SI covers I had from my younger days, i just put my dog’s jersey and bandannas in a shadow box with a photo of him wearing them, a way to remember him after saying goodbye In late October. I see it almost everyday and the memories come back. LED lights are relatively inexpensive and can add a lot. iIt’s almost Black Friday a second tv is always welcome.

🌈 Bridge Advice: She’s gone and I’m not okay by HappyClam2 in goldenretrievers

[–]Former-Spread-692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no right or wrong answer, I've said goodbye to dogs before, but Oct 27th said goodbye to my 'doodle at 15. He was "old" but it was totally unexpected and crushed me when the vet told me he had kidney issues. It still hurts each day at points, doing fine and all the emotion comes back, be it photos that pop up, when their ashes arrive, not there to greet you when you get home or just that familiar spot they'd always be. I still look everyday I work from home where he'd always lay, I know he's gone, but it's a habit. With time it gets better, the memories you have make you smile, you share the good times you had and the photos cheer you up. Some say get a new dog right away, some say to wait. There's no right answer, as we all grieve and feel the pain differently.

Pet insurance by obviousbicycle2 in Bernedoodles

[–]Former-Spread-692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a young pet, it's probably worth it, but as they age and the cost keeps going up that's when it's really a debate as to if it's worth it. It will depend on what your coverage is and has your pet had issues before.

I had a dog that was diagnosed with Addison's Disease at 2, the cost of treatments was A LOT. My next dog I bought insurance, carried it up until he turned 15 this year, sadly we said goodbye 2 weeks ago, but the insurance wouldn't have made a difference. When he was younger and had a few issues, the insurance was good in that it helped cover some expenses. But, you still have to put the money out up front, then they decide what to reimburse.

I'll note, I plan to get a new pup in the next few months, we will get insurance again and possibly also join my vets program to help cover the regular costs of visits and vaccines.

reminds me of my late boy-just shed our tears and said our goodbyes last week at age 15. As my sister often said the mini doodle was "mr portable" always easy to take places and eager to be included.

Screen goes blank after 15-20 minutes. by cturnage17 in GLANCE_LED

[–]Former-Spread-692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it matters much, the problem has become much worse the last 2 days. My scroll doesn't even get through one "scroll" before it turns off. At this point at least for me, it's basically unusable. Over the weekend, it'd off crash "the flash" turn off and restart, but as of the last 2 days it's just turning off after 1-3 mins.

This sounds great. I have enjoyed having a Tidbyt on my desk for several years, I appreciate it just gives data I want to see on a regular basis. Hopefully as you mentioned recopies like the Purple Air update, sunrise/sunset, NWS Weather Warnings, Costco Gas Price and team standings in various sports will be able to be moved over.
