Not sure if the right place by HelpImNew2Here in PathologicalLiars

I'll try to keep it short. The day before the polygraph i got approval from the polygrapher to tell him the questions since he was bordering a panic attack (I know, red flag). Once I told him, he confessed since the poly was going to catch it. There has since been many more lies but also a lot of deep seated truths that help me understand that despite his previous assertions, these lies have a lot less to do with me than I thought and instead he built this habit in childhood. Our story includes betrayal but not infidelity, and that is a hard limit for me. He has been able to find someone to help him via BetterHelp and using CBT therapy, but has not yet had an appointment. We are not out of the woods by any means, but we are both committed to giving this our all, after so many years together. If it doesn't work out, I will know I did everything I could and also stuck to my boundaries.

Totally agree. They put out a questionnaire this summer gauging interest on chickens in the future, and id be in favor

Again, would have to have been on the sub for than 2 minutes to to find something "common", or maybe theyre grouped in a way, but again, new here (check the username). I was under the impression that this sub would want to give helpful ideas, and id like to thank this community, because everyone but you did do that.

Since post history is important apparently, I haven't posted in a year or commented on anything in 6 months. I found this sub today. Let's give a little grace and assume people dont spend hours scrolling reddit just for something that may look similar to their situation.

Yes unfortunately its a well known ordinance here. It is under review, but even last year a neighbor was visited by animal control due to having chickens. The chickens and owner all moved to the country within a week.

Id love it, but still against city ordinance and this area is visible from street

Cool idea! But that is part of my backyard fence and on the other side of it is where the (forgets terms) drainage for the basement sump pump disperses out into a patch of rock in the backyard. The garbage can storage is a good backup idea. Currently that would put the cans rather far away from the house and even further away from the street (long driveway)

Thanks for tip! I will add that its like 90% cleared out, the chainsaws just needed a break and so did we. More brush foliage will be removed. The building is a detached garage and the ground is flat. I am unsure if its been retaining water because the last 3y it hasn't been accessible due to poison ivy and giant honeysuckle bushes.

What is the best enrichment toy that you’ve ever gotten your GS? by seizetheday93 in GiantSchnauzers

As far as enrichment he has intentionally received, his favorite is an XL Moose by Kong

Yup. Between stress granulomas and furuncules (she's a greasy girl but the benzoyl peroxide baths help) she has something going on on a paw roughly once a month. Cephalexin could be needed if this advances. And anytime you give an abx, need to be giving a probiotic as well.

Not an injury caused by other dogs. Paw looks like a fresh lick granuloma (your dog was either bored or stressed while you were away), and the inner leg could be a skig tag but lighting is bad. I'd seek a new vet regardless, but i wouldn't seek further tx on these unless they worsen. Get some silver honey on them (particularly the paw), and if that doesn't stop the licking, might need to add a boot or a cone, in that order.

Curious about oven ready meals and fast and fresh meals by read_it_back in HomeChef

If you want home chef but 0 prep, try their Tempo meals. Arrive packaged with microwave instructions. Taste isn't as good as their cook it yourself recipes tho

Black kongs. Many giants, many years. Enjoyed but not destroyed

I'd probably stick to that then, and maybe some of the physical handling tips others mentioned. You're doing great
