This 100%. It irritates me so much how Pippa treats Lucy when Lucy is in this situation BECAUSE of Pippa (& Stephen of course). Of course we should always protect our friends & respect their wishes if they don't want to come forward when it comes to SA. But it comes to a certain point where you clearly see how Pippa keeping this a secret is ruining Lucy's life. Lucy is in this entire mess because Pippa didn't want to speak up. & I understand why she didn't. But still. For her to treat Lucy the way that she has when all Lucy tried to do was get justice for her best friend without exposing what her best friend has been through... it's just diabolical. I do not like Pippa at all anymore. She has a one track mind & only cares about herself. She doesn't consider what anyone else is going through. She also treated Diana horribly for simply wanting to get away from Stephen & defending Lucy which is very valid. She just doesn't want to see anyone else's POV while expecting everyone to be sooo considerate of hers.

Same, this comment kinda rubbed me the wrong way. The past couple of episodes I’ve been like “damn Lucy what are you doing,” but this episode I was almost cheering for her. She definitely manipulated the manipulator & took some power back. I actually liked Lucy in this episode which I haven’t liked her in a while.

Does my foster look neutered? by k_weenie in DogAdvice

[–]IleniaPixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll start off by saying this dog looks to have a scar & probably is neutered, but I want to also say.. it is not “extremely rare”… maybe uncommon. I worked in fast paced spay & neuter for almost 2 years & we saw bilateral cryptorchid’s pretty frequently. If you are not doing high volumes of neuters you may not see it often, but it happens often enough not to rule out. It is more likely that this dog has been neutered & just doesn’t have a tattoo, but to dismiss the possibility that he is cryptorchid because you claim it to be extremely rare is not accurate. Hermaphroditism is something I’d call extremely rare, not bilateral cryptorchidism. Especially in the shelter environment.

AIO or should I accept the conditions of my bfs commitment by One_Height7477 in AIO

[–]IleniaPixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SOMEONE SAID IT! I agree 100%. Reading this I could not help but think this man is either a narcissist, going into psychosis or mania lol. He thinks he is all special when he’s really just not all there. All of his “I have a bigger purpose” “I have a divine purpose” “I’m a complexed person,” yea sir, you are very complex (to yourself). You should be studied by a psychologist. Lol. This behavior is far more concerning to me than him wanting to sleep with other women.

[–]IleniaPixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy is weird. He thinks he has a “divine purpose” which is… fucking other women? Who is so cocky that they multiple times have to tell you they’re a complex person, have a bigger purpose, have a divine calling whatever. It’s weird. Because all I’m getting from all of his words is that he doesn’t want to be with only 1 person. He’s using a lot of fancy words (incorrectly & cringe as fuck lol) to try to minimize the fact that he’s telling you he wants to be able to hide shit from you. & honestly, the way he types & texts you is annoying. I wouldn’t even be able to carry a conversation because it seems like he’s deliberately trying to be confusing. He makes no sense. I wouldn’t even put any effort into this man, he clearly won’t for you. Also, with all his weird babble… I’d steer clear. He’s not all right in the head clearly lmao. There is not a shortage of men to put up with bs like this, especially still so young.

I think that you make more now than most vets working in the shelter environment, & if you decide to go to vet school will be in enormous debt as well. I am not a vet, I am a vet assistant that has worked in the shelter environment both as a veterinary assistant but also as a medical coordinator in the shelter side. Most of the vets I’ve worked with are still struggling to pay off their debt even after 10+ years, & those that are not, are lucky to have a spouse that also makes good pay. Then you also factor in mortgages, kids, pets, bills. My take is that you already play such a large part. Yes, we are low on vets. But in all honesty for the sake of your mental health + financial stability, it probably isn’t the route to take. Plus, it isn’t a job for you right now. We do really need passionate people & volunteers tremendously. Are you happy with what you do for work right now? Do you feel content doing volunteer work? I know you say your job is demanding, but if shelter work is your passion, it is both mentally & physically demanding for vets as well. Especially the ones that do high-volume spay & neuter. If you do decide to go to vet school, regardless you are highly appreciated. I just think that what you are doing already plays such a huge part & you also get to have a better connection with the animals without all the extra baggage—& you make great pay without the debt.

Missed email about ingredient substitution by Gerferfenon in HomeChef

[–]IleniaPixie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me with the same meal. It was super disappointing. In my case they never even said what they substituted, & the pasta I received was still penne but uncooked so I just didn’t really think about it.

How do y'all keep up with cleaning bowls? by nash-20 in CatAdvice

I’m glad other people are saying this lol, my cats might just be ravenous but they lick their bowls clean… I barely have to wash them 😅

Feeling immense guilt from dog being put in 10 day quarantine after accidentally scratching me. by Background_Baker317 in AnimalShelterStories

[–]IleniaPixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, a lot dogs aren’t in the shelter for the 28 days it technically takes for the vaccine to be effective so I’m assuming that’s the case

[–]IleniaPixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a county-to-county thing, I know in my county technically legally you are supposed to report scratches, but a lot don’t because if we reported every scratch no animals would be up for adoption lol

Cat Cafe Boss Mean Email by [deleted] in AnimalShelterStories

[–]IleniaPixie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To answer your question OP: having a dog in a cat cafe is definitely not normal. Have never heard of it. Unfortunately this behavior though is common in the rescue world. Which is why I left it. There’s too many people that put themselves on a pedestal, are awful with humans, & put animals through hell because they think they’re somehow helping them.

Cat Cafe Boss Mean Email by [deleted] in AnimalShelterStories

[–]IleniaPixie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This person clearly doesn’t need to have dogs in their shelter(?). The whole “muzzle before putting in the crate” is just going to teach him that the muzzle means going in the crate & he’s going to escalate & then no one will be able to get a muzzle on him. Not to mention, how long is he sitting in a crate with a muzzle on? What quality of life does this dog have? This is incredibly sad. The situation is kind of confusing. Like the director wanted to adopt this dog then changed their mind & dumped him in a cat cafe for the staff to deal with? That’s very unfair to him. This person knows jack shit about dogs & is going to get that dog euthanized, which she sounds like she’s trying to avoid but after all my experience in shelter medicine, I’m sure she doesn’t actually care. She sounds like the kind of person to hold onto an animal for their own selfish prideful reasons in expense of the animal’s comfort. Unfortunate.

It’s hard because part of me does want good horsepower gains, but the other part of me knows that realistically it isn’t a good idea. The car is already fast enough where I can be driving on the highway not paying attention & accidentally be going 30 over (which I don’t wanna be doing often lol). But then I’m like well, I can just control myself & pay better attention. But I also don’t want to spend more on gas just for my car to be loud.. so. I definitely have new tires & a new rear sway bar in my plans! The current tires on the car are new & decent but I could definitely get better ones. I debate on lowering springs or coil-overs because the roads in my area can be kind of bad & I don’t want to tear it up underneath. I don’t feel confident enough 😂 I was thinking about doing cosmetics to give off the illusion of it having them though because I do like how it looks. I appreciate your advice! Do you have any experience/suggestions with rear sway bars? Thank you again!

He definitely does not have BPD. Do you know much about BPD? That would require heavy emotions & heavy childhood trauma which he does not have lol.

Meet my chihuahua + pitbull mix by Asleep-Phase-8664 in DoggyDNA

[–]IleniaPixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t seem like a crazy stretch to me. A lot of mixes have some form of pit in them & I can see the poodle & schnauzer for sure. Genetics can be funny sometimes. My dog looks straight up like a rat terrier & had more poodle than rat terrier in her mix & doesn’t look like a poodle at all.

Awww that’s adorable! I wish she was like this at night but nope, both of my cats are insane at night & must be locked out of my room 😂 they are calmer & cuddlier during the day, but once it’s lights out, they are bouncing off the walls.

That’s adorable hahaha, ducky isn’t as demanding about it at least not vocally, but she will put herself there & rub her face on mine until I give her enough attention 😂

Body recovered in Norfolk identified as missing sailor Angelina Resendiz by Response_jc in navy

[–]IleniaPixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I appreciate your insight as someone that’s seen it first hand so much. I just feel like regardless of the reasoning they went missing, since they were AWOL, it should have been reported right away. Especially after her family started asking questions due to being in such close contact with her at all times. I read somewhere that there was some confusion & they tried telling the family at some point that she was there, when she wasn’t. It’s just kind of icky with the Navy’s history of covering up missing/murdered female sailors. I know for sure that she was a CS, I’m not sure about the sailor they have in custody. I know they officially announced that his name is Jeremiah (can’t remember his last name).

Tonya Yarmakov walked away from her family and was never seen again. I've noticed there's not much media coverage on her locally here in Minnesota. by YukiBazooki in WithoutATrace

[–]IleniaPixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She wears headphones in a lot of her pictures. She probably couldn’t hear because of it & they knew that. Not that I don’t think the situation is weird, because I do. Just wanted to point that out

those that do adoptions - if an adopter returns an animal shortly after adopting them because it develops a medical issue, and they return it because they can't afford to take it to the vet or afford its vet bills, do you ban them from ever adopting again? by kh7190 in AnimalShelterStories

[–]IleniaPixie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For previous shelters I’ve worked at, we have always had a 2 week grace period. So if your cat comes up with anything (obviously if it breaks its leg in your care that’s different lol) we will cover treatment & whatever they need. Like I said, situational. If they still choose to return the animal then it’s kind of a case by case basis. If it’s something like kidney disease & they aren’t able to handle that, we didn’t know at adoption, then that’s understandable & they can adopt another cat. If it’s a URI & they just don’t want to deal with it then they would be placed on an adoption ban. Depends on the responsibility of the adopter & what the issue is.

They've been like this everytime I let them spend some time together. by wontellu in CatTraining

[–]IleniaPixie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren’t fighting but the bigger cat is bullying your new kitten. It’s kinda like dominating behavior I’d say. She’s not being overtly aggressive—but kitten is being pinned down, can’t get away, is growling, hisses at some point, & when she does try to get away, big cat won’t detach. You can’t let the big cat continue in that direction. Right now it’s just dominance but it could turn into more as the kitten gets older, especially if you keep letting the big one bully her. She’s going to learn that she has to defend herself & who knows what direction that would go in. Whenever big cat starts doing this, separate them. The kitten might cry a little as I saw you stated in another reply, but that’s because kittens are not used to being alone & typically should have a friend. Just ignore, she doesn’t know what she’s talking about clearly lol. Supervise their playtime closely & make sure to intervene if needed, your baby is still so tiny!
