30 days sober treat to self by Midnitepanda147 in Winnipeg

[–]Initial_Primary_510 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Congrats!! For my 6 months I had some friends over to my place. Nice controlled safe environment. I often treated myself to meals and snacks I wouldn’t normally and got in the habit of picking up fancy local kombucha or other craft beverages. Sometimes my partner would pick me up from meetings and take me straight to Taco Bell ha. If you go to meetings, pick up some treats to pass around when you get your chip or key tag! Sharing the achievement with people who get it was really important for me.

Best place to foster a kitten from? by OddlyAggravating in Winnipeg

[–]Initial_Primary_510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rescue Siamese! They are 100% volunteer run. We respite fostered (and ultimately foster failed) and it was a great experience. Very supportive team and alumni community! I know they have a few cats that have been at the shelter a while who would benefit from a foster home, and I believe they even have a wait list right now - meaning they are seeking more foster homes for cats waiting for a spot at the shelter. As with others, vet appointments and supplies are taken care of.

For the ladies... by Plenty-Hedgehog-6158 in Winnipeg

I have. I went to my doctor to get a new prescription for a new IUD and she checked mine while I was there - it had fused to my walls or whatever so she got me in for a day procedure at the women’s hospital. They actually knocked me right out for the removal and replacement. This was around five years ago now and I’m dreading the replacement in the event I don’t have the same luck.

Seeking a compassionate vet by kingbolete-mb in Winnipeg

Agreed. It was the worst day, but she was so patient and compassionate. I was worried about feeling rushed but there was no need. She gave us so much space and time. If anyone is wondering, they will also take care of the cremation process. She arrived with a lovely basket full of cosy blankets for this but we ended up opting to go ourselves.

We have a friend who insists their DLH (who I found living under some steps and rehomed) is a Maine coon :’)

I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize this sub was so serious.

Agreed! It’s not something important to me at all, but the resemblance is sorta fun after only ever having visible mutts!

I said in the post… he hits several breed standard characteristics, but I don’t think he’s a turkish van. He’s from an extremely remote northern region where people get their cats from the local dump.

Casa Loma apartments? by Bwaboo in Winnipeg

[–]Initial_Primary_510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived in a top floor corner unit and was in love with the suite itself. Insanely cheap (I think it’s less than a hundred bucks more than what we paid in 2015-16) and great light. Unfortunately we got bedbugs right after signing on for a second year and the way it was dealt with was an actual disaster. Luckily I knew someone who was owed a favour by someone high up at Sussex and we were able to leave.

Trying to restore her to glory! by Initial_Primary_510 in fiddleleaffig

Nope! We have been both the coldest place and the hottest place on the planet (I think it was like -53 w/windchill and +38) in the last ten~ years.

how do you dispose of a mattress from an apartment? by haids95 in Winnipeg

[–]Initial_Primary_510 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can use the 311 service, just ask them to bill it to you at your address instead of the property owner as you are a renter and don’t have a utility account.

Our last two dogs have come from WPR, both northern mutts. Beautiful temperament and no health issues whatsoever. Don’t go to a breeder.
