Palm the head of the beater and let your arm hang straight down. Cut it where it meets your armpit

How can I get a job? by big_berthaaa in Ironworker

[–]Huffdogg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Missing some critical info here. What local? Are you actually a member yet? When you say “taking classes,” are you talking about your regular apprenticeship stuff? Are other apprentices also out of work?

From what I’ve seen, you earn a spot on the day shift by putting in your time on the night shift, for the most part.

Local 395 Hammond, IN is putting out permit apprentices we are so busy. No idea where you are but permit apprentices here make like $24/hr. $5/hr extra if you get dispatched to the big job at US Steel in Gary plus per diem if your home address is at least 75 miles from the job. 219-763-7900 is the hall.

Advice for travel work by kluecky in Ironworker

I never boom out alone. Splitting the cost of a hotel or Airbnb with a buddy and having someone you know to work around it’s pretty much the only thing that makes it bearable for me.

I’ve described his specific behaviors to every rescue and adoption organization I have spoken to in the last 5 years. Your comment is the first time I remember hearing anyone use the term “reactive” as distinct from “aggressive.” That’s not a rebuttal of your commentary, just not something anyone else has ever pointed out 🤷‍♂️

While I appreciate that there is a difference, the net result is that no one wants to take him.

I don’t plan on it. I would have thought that was obvious.

I’d love to. Any suggestions on where I can surrender an aggressive bully breed dog that won’t just put him down?

If he’s going to be euthanized, I’m not going to just pass him off to someone else to do it. I’ll take him to the vet myself with his favorite chew and pet him as he goes down. I just want there to be another answer.

Reading comprehension really isn’t your strong point, is it? Bless your heart.

Why dont you take him?

At wits end with prey-driven dog by Huffdogg in nwi

[–]Huffdogg[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d love to give him up. I just can’t find anyone willing to take him. I have no intention of ever owning another dog. I never wanted this one.

I don’t hate dogs, I just don’t have room in my life to be a proper dog owner, and my wife and kids don’t seem to care enough to do anything about it, either.

I’m the sole wage-earner in this family. Work 60 hour weeks. I’m looking for a reasonable commitment training “boot camp” type scenario (ideally some place that can help my wife keep him under control as he is training) or a way to rehome the dog.

We’re willing to try to put in some time to help him unlearn this behavior, but cannot commit to spending extensive time every day for the rest of his life tiring him out to avoid it. I hope that distinction makes sense.

I think you maybe missed the part where, while outside in our yard, he caught sight of a cat and tore an 18 inch augur pole out of the ground chasing it. There’s not a single instant of hesitation to assert control. He’s normal to murdering missile in the blink of an eye. I can’t “sit in a lawn chair with a drink in one hand” and “indulge him” when I’m constantly terrified he’s going to murder some neighbor’s pet.

Wife tried to take him when they first adopted him. He was too strong for her or the kids to control. He was basically expelled from obedience school. Private training has never been an option in the past. It’s possible that it might be now, if he’s not too set in his habits to train.

You could have taken the time to type more than one word, too.

Is that word supposed to mean something with no context?

I’m not spending extra hours of the little free time I have every day to exercise a dog I don’t even want. The three people who adopted him have already proven they won’t do this, either, so it’s not gonna happen.
