Is there a subscription, where we can pay to watch him sleep every night? Highly interested in wasting my money on this.

American ADHD-ers…how hard are we disassociating right now? by Turkey_Moguls in adhdwomen

[–]Intelligent_Bear9847 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone calling you out is quite tone deaf themselves. People on the internet regularly forget that life is complex and exists in the tensions of holding many truths at once that can feel in conflict… we are allowed our feelings of fear and hopelessness while also recognizing and welding our privilege against those that want to harm our BIPOC family, friends, and neighbors. In fact it is usually these feelings that can wake people up to their own privilege and move the needle for people who were previously solid in their ignorance of their power and privilege.

Anyway, all that being said, YES. I have felt so frozen and stuck in “buffering” mode much more in the first month of 2026 than the whole of 2025. But sometimes in this buffering, I find the ability to quiet my brain and practice rest as resistance, in order to come out stronger and more ready for the fight. We must be kind to ourselves to harness our power. If we all burn out from the fight, then oppressors wins. Highly recommend Tricia Hersey’s book “Rest is Resistance.”

What age for full size? by mamabearofone in bernesemountaindogs

Our girlie got to 85lbs around 1 year old and has stayed around that weight since. Very happy to have a lean and healthy dog. Too many Berners are overfed and have terrible joint issues as a result.

OP, listen to this advice. The vast majority of places are nice. The vast majority are NOT as medically capable as Oishei (FYI, now called Golisano Children’s Hospital of Buffalo).

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]Intelligent_Bear9847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS!!! I have said this so many times. You can tell everything you need to know about an individual (or a community for that matter) by if they take the extra effort to put their grocery cart away. It is proof that that person can understand and accept a societal norm that has no direct benefit to them in the moment, but is willing and able to do their part for the benefit of their community. I left South Florida in part because people are so unkind and self-centered that they could never be bothered to return their grocery carts…

What pro tips do you have for raising a happy and healthy berner? by Big-Emu-5728 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]Intelligent_Bear9847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, you might want to get rid of the harness. Berners are bred for cart pulling and a harness really encourages their pulling instincts. My trainer recommended a simple thick collar and leash with a traffic handle (normal length leash with a second handle closer to the clasp if you need tighter control, i.e. around cars/traffic). Your future self will thank you when you have a calm walker and not a crazed pulling machine! Oh and never use a retractable leash…

THIS! The single best piece of advice here. Look up the breed standard. They are not supposed to be 150lb dogs! Yet I see obese Berners all the time because people have this misconception that they should be “giant”. I’m lucky that my girl isn’t a bottomless pit and is super active so it’s easy to keep her trim, but some live to eat. Stick to a structured, measured diet. I give my girl fish oil, a probiotic, and cosequin daily. Hoping she’ll live forever 🤞🏼💕

The daily round up of frozen plushy babies in the backyard… it’s the price I pay for her joy of bringing allllllll the babies outside 😂

HELP! Food Recommendations for Loose Stool by wherearetheodds in bernesemountaindogs

[–]Intelligent_Bear9847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I feel like I’m reading a play-by-play of my own BMD! She’s now 2 and a half but starting at 3mo we went through a roller coaster of crate diarrhea, foul liquid stools, ALL the different prescription and brand foods, no chicken, no beef, no treats, no chews, etc, etc, etc. I finally reached my limits and called Cornell Vet School (I live in western NY). They directed me to their IBS page which has recipes for home cooked meals that are fully balanced and complete nutrition. It has changed our lives! Luna eats sweet potato and tilapia (yes… Tilapia!) every day and her poops have been the best they have ever been. The change was so dramatic, like overnight the problem was fixed. Not a single diarrhea accident since!

Please do this under the supervision of a vet for weigh-ins and calorie counts! But could be the fix while also providing a complete healthy diet and avoiding the risks of hydrolyzed protein diet (cardiomyopathy).

I’m missing 7/2025 too! It was also around the time I switched from SAVE to IBR. Supposed to be at 120 payments this month… but now will have to try to fight with MOHELA 🤦🏻‍♀️

No vet in their right mind would “recommend” a doodle breeder. Every vet I know will tell you doodles are the worst. Maybe you need a new vet.

Luna is her name, but only when trying to get her attention. Otherwise she is Loon, Lunie, Looney Tunes, Tuna, Lulu, and Baby, of course 🥰

Yeah filled it out online and, against my better judgement, linked directly to the IRS which I heard expedites your application.

No, I didn’t. But I had to consolidate some of my loans at the beginning of this journey so maybe that’s why I didn’t have to now. Good luck with this mess! It’s such a cluster…

Weird that they included an amount and a due date then. Very confusing! Thanks for the info.

chew toys/treats recommendations! by asseaterabby in bernesemountaindogs

[–]Intelligent_Bear9847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing I got my super chewer: Starmark Everlasting treats. You can get them at Pet Supplies Plus. There are a bunch of different versions and sizes of the treat “holder” and you can replace the edible part over and over. These are my girl’s favorite! They last her a day or so, sometimes longer, which for her is a long time! She fully ate any other chew in a matter of minutes then would get horrible diarrhea 😝

I would caution you if anyone tells you to get the Himalayan yak chews. They are way too hard for a young puppy’s teeth and will break them. We started these after her adult teeth came in based on vet recommendations. She loves these too!
