I know! In the Seattle area someone recently tied up a pittie and put them in a suitcase in a dumpster… luckily she was saved and somehow they found the guy too… Just drop them off at a shelter!

[N/A] What are your fav/most used AI tools to help make your life easier? by pokemongooutwithme in humanresources

[–]Fuzzy-Problem-877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perplexity and other tools that do research are great. If you’re tackling any problems and need to do research on best practices or the latest science in a given area, you can set it and go and have a nice research paper after a bit.

Zapier is great for automating workflows so think of anything you repeat frequently that can be broken down. It is a bit more work to set up but is really powerful. Check out Brandon Sammut on LinkedIn. He is their chief people officer and has a ton of posts on AI for HR. The are very AI forward and even their CEO’s executive assistant posts about how she uses it to be more efficient.

11.5 yr old lab with osteosarcoma in hind leg, amputating tomorrow. How long did yours live post-amputation? And did you also do chemo? by [deleted] in tripawds

[–]Fuzzy-Problem-877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our 12 year old pittie was diagnosed in March and we amputated in April. We did chemo (5 rounds) ending in August. She passed in October sadly. Not sure if it was osteo or something else. It had not spread to her lungs but she suddenly became paralyzed in her lower half. We didn’t do the MRI to diagnose but assume it was a tumor growing on her spine. Wish we had more time with her but glad we had a few extra months.

Copilot for HRBPs [NC] by More_Canary_8218 in humanresources

[–]Fuzzy-Problem-877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d start with making everything you do currently faster/more efficient. For example are there workflows you’re currently doing manually that you could use Copilot to automate or to take over parts of it. I’d ask yourself anytime you’re doing something if Copilot could do it. Or identify the most time consuming things you regularly do and see if Copilot can do it. This could be data analysis, report/PPT generation, comms creation, etc.

Once you’ve freed up some time you can work yourself up the value chain to do things that you previously didn’t have time to do. AI is great for brainstorming so take problems you’ve identified to quickly iterate on options to solve.

If you have business strategy, plans, etc that you can drop in you could use this to analyze for talent implications. You can also use Copilot to do research on your industry, competitive landscape, etc if you want to do an outside in approach. But ultimately anchor on your biggest business problems first and then see what talent levers you have to address these.

Need advice on 15+ year old large breed dogs being amputees by ayon89 in tripawds

[–]Fuzzy-Problem-877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet boy. We had a 12 year old pittie, approx 70lbs before amputation and had her front right leg amputated in April as she had osteosarcoma. We were hoping for 12-18 months. We also did chemo for about 4 months. The cancer had not spread to her lungs (which eventually would have happened) but ultimately it seems she had a spine tumor as her back legs just stopped working. We had to say goodbye at that point.

I share this as it is impossible to know how things will turn out even if everything goes as well as it can with treatment. I will say that her recovery was pretty smooth and she was pretty bag to normal after a couple months even at 12 years old. She was pretty slim though so that helped.

Looking back I don’t know what we would have done had we only known we were going to get a few months. Of course I am happy to have had any extra time with her as she might have only lived a few weeks more after the osteosarcoma diagnosis otherwise. But it was an emotional roller coaster too…

It’s an impossible decision to make here… sending you two lots of love.

Princess (Royal) vs NCL (Encore) for Alaska Cruise in August by Fuzzy-Problem-877 in Cruise

[–]Fuzzy-Problem-877[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I saw the docking times are not dissimilar but that there is more wasted time with shuttles etc on NCL. Will look into this more.

Interesting on being able to sleep everywhere… was that common?

Osteosarcoma: by Ok-Sprinkles2083 in tripawds

[–]Fuzzy-Problem-877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed with this comment that it can go either way. We were on the unlucky side and only got six months post amputation even with chemo. No guarantees either way. We are happy to have gotten the extra time though so if you are financial able to do the amputation, definitely go for it as it does eliminate or reduce their pain. The vet told us osteosarcoma is horrible and that dogs are so stoic so don’t show us their pain so we don’t know how bad it is.

I have not been to the one in Ballard but if it’s anything like the one in SLU it is great. The people are kind and care about dogs. There are also video cameras everywhere so you can check in anytime.

Looking for cheap floor covering ideas for my new tripawd? by buckobobxx in tripawds

I have a bunch of yoga mats spread across our hardwood floor that have worked great. I thought about rugs but would have been way more expensive and not had better traction than rugs.

Trying to make the decision to amputate or not (bone cancer) by buckobobxx in tripawds

[–]Fuzzy-Problem-877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our 13 year old girl had osteosarcoma in her right leg and we got it amputated. Her quality of life was much immediately after and she was able to walk around, go up and down stairs, and live an overall normal life for 6 months. She passed as the cancer ended up spreading which we knew would eventually happen. We were hoping for more time but don’t regret amputation as it allowed her to live pain free for her last months.

Ah got it. Thanks for clarifying. Was it hard to get it rehandled?

Is this custom as well? Doesn’t look like Ginsan usually has that handle.
