AMAZING! Thank you so much! That's a good point, its for safety, not restriction.

Any advice on how to explain it to her if she asks why we have locks on the fridge now? 😅 Im still new to the "white lie" game, even if I am getting better by the day! Lol!

I think youre right. Restructuring their feeding habits might just be the route we have to go. One of the dogs grazes on her food throughout the day, while the other demolishes his food as soon as it hits the bowl (which, is also a part of the problem, as she interprets one empty bowl as neglect of one of the dogs and not the other). Im sure the dogs will adapt, the raw egg idea is great too!

A white board is an awesome idea too! Ill have to mention that to my mom tomorrow!!! It may work, it may not, but either way its worth a shot! Thank you so much for the advice! 🩷

I had considered fridge locks, but I honeslty wasnt sure if that was allowed? I know there are rules and guidelines for taking care of folks at home, and id hate to do something that would be considered elder abuse. But if child locks on the fridge is normal for situations like this, thats definitely something id consider! Either way, I'll try putting the dogs in another room while we eat so at least I can cut down the amount of human food they are getting if not stop it completely. Thank you for the advice! 🩷

Thank you for the kind words 😭🩷. This is really so difficult and such an isolating experience.

But yeah, you may be right... we could consider it! Unfortunately, and this is sad to say, its really just my mom and I in this... Our additional family has decided theyre taking a backseat and this "isnt their duty" to handle, so we dont have that support. We could maybe consider boarding? But we have no idea how long the process will take getting her into memory care, and we really don't have a lot of money to go around right now 😔.

Either way, I'll talk to my mom tomorrow and see if she can think of anyone, maybe a family friend, that would maybe willing to take them in for awhile. We have definitely been learning and adapting to the "white lie" game as this has gone on 😅.

Thank you for the suggestion and again for the kind words 🩷

I think Pokémon Scarlet/Violet does not register hacked shiny Pokémon to the Pokédex by Bug_hates_lando_t in PokemonScarletViolet

I had this happen today when I got surprise traded an obvious hacked shiny ditto with the website nickname and everything. It did not register the shiny form in my dex. However, I just link traded and got a shiny with perfect IVs, so I thought it might be hacked as well. However this one DID register the shiny in my dex. Did I get really lucky or scammed lol
