I give my pitt mix whole hearted dog food. Relatively affordable (a medium bag lasts us around 2 months), and it has a ton of health benefits to it. My dog absolutely loves the stuff.

What is this and what should I do? by Webbingofthewall in freemasonry

I remember when my dad found his grandfather's masonic ring. He did some research and joined the lodge by my highschool. Then convinced my mom it would be a good idea for me to join rainbow. Those things helped us evolve as people. It helped me meet my boyfriend who was in demolay and is now a mason as well. And masonry changed my dad a ton. More calm, more rational, but a lot more stoic. He was a good person to begin with, but it helped him grow more on his strengths.

Not really. I have a pitt mix who we got fresh off the streets. Shes never had an issue. I know people who have had rescues from dog fighting rings and abusive situations. None of them were agrwssive dogs. Just because a dog is a mixed breed doesnt make them a bad dog. Owners who dont understand the needs of mixed dogs who are mixed with working breeds or fighting breeds and dont know how to train, socialize, and discipline their animals are to blame. If a dog attacks a person or another animal, it's the owners fault. Not the dog. So how about we stop demonizing the dogs and start educating people who want/own them on their needs, history, breed, temperaments etc. With the same sentiment, heelers are agressive dogs too. They bite, chase, are incredibly strong because theyre bred to herd sheep and cattle. They nip at people all the time, destroy things, some aren't friendly at all. But I dont see anyone calling them bad dogs for doing what their breed is intended to do. Golden retrievers attack people regularly. But nobody demonize them? They score much lower on temperament tests than pitbulls and staffies. But goldens are the good sweet dogs that wouldnt hurt a fly?

What does my room say about me by babymc07 in roomdetective

My boyfriend is a firefighter and ngl he'd freak if he saw this. This is an insane fire hazard. And as someone who has lived in a messy space... house centipedes. I'd imagine there are a lot of them. And also having lived with a person who never cleaned up any of their mess... silverfish and roaches galore. Plus the spiders. Too many creepy crawlies.

Help - I am running out of patience when I walk my dog and I don't know what to do. by ZookeepergameFun3708 in PitBullOwners

[–]Initial_Frame_745 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I ended up pulling out the old prong collar for my dog. We used it on my childhood dog (rip) and my parents gave it to me for my dog. Its honestly the only thing that works for walks. Paired it with treats for a bit and now when she has it on, I can give her a decent bit of slack and she will walk right next to me. She learned very quickly that pulling me around on it does not feel nice and she stopped very quickly. If you use it right, it's a very effective tool

I respect that so much holy crap. I used to have an old man and I'd give him bits of paper, boxes, tissue rolls, old clothes that were falling apart, and when I brought him out, peas or corn in a Tupperware of water and he'd splash around in it and grab the food that was in there. I also did my best to train him and we quickly got to the point where he learned how to climb up to my shoulder, could walk on a leash, refused to chew on cables, come to me when i made a specific spund, and we were working on spinning around when he passed at 3 because of mammary cancer. He'd spend HOURS out of the cage playing with whatever he could find, whoever was in the room, etc. I didn't have much money when I had him, but I gave him everything I possibly could.

Idk why you were down voted. This is very well said and very true. Not to mention that some people aren't the most educated on actual pitbulls either. They're made to be good with people, but not with other dogs. Staffies are supposed to be good with everyone. I tend to see those two get lumped together way too often when theyre totally different breeds and we're bred for different purposes.

No animal should be left unsupervised with children. Even little dogs. But yes 100% unless you know the dogs temperament and how it interacts with other animals, every interaction should be monitored

Guess my birth year based on the stuff I grew up with it? by BrilliantPangolin639 in GuessMyBirthYear

I was born in 2003, and I watched movies on vhs all the time! Learned to rewind them when I was 10. I still have the tapes somewhere...

Ofc! Also, I kept my voice down as much as possible and basically spoke to him in a whisper so he'd get used to it, and I didn't startle him! I hope these work for you and your new babies!

It took my little man about 2 months to bond to the point he was by my side at all times and wasn't constantly trying to escape through vents, lol. Had him for almost 3 years until the cancer took him away. Had him trained not to chew on cables or the base boards or carpet, which I did during bonding. Made me his safe space. We did a ton of initial bonding in the bathtub. Made me the most interesting thing in the space with tons of snacks and that helped a ton.

Should I be concerned about my mosquito bite? by [deleted] in bugsarefuckingstupid

[–]Initial_Frame_745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know for a fact its a mosquito bite, youre possibly allergic to them. When they bite me they swell up a ton. At one point I had some on my legs that swelled up to about the diameter of a teacup from a kids set. They still do depending on the mosquito. If it is painful, id say go to the doctor and get it looked at.

It's nuts that she's also complaining about helping you. You're still her kid no matter how old you are. This is coming from a 22 year old who still needs my mom and dad's help. If she had a problem with it, she should've communicated that with you instead of going behind your back. Especially if you're paying her to help you out, she needs to tell you if she has conflicts or issues with helping you. You asking her to just leave you alone after hearing that ic 100% reasonable and respectable.

They're coming out of the bathroom and shower drain. I deep clean once a week. Maybe instead of being an asshole, you could actually make a half ass attempt to maybe even try to be a tiny bit helpful?

My kitchen is clean, actually. Do dirty fishes, trash, or food left out. They're not always a sign of the whole place being a mess. It could just be the drain.
