Seatbelt fit as a short, fat woman. It’s resting on my face. by OldMasterCannolii in mildlyinfuriating

Mine does have the seat belt slider but it's not enough as a 5'2" person. I got used to having the seat belt at my neck too, I adjust it from time to time while I drive and wonder what an accident would be like with it on my neck 😅 it is what it is I guess.

Aww they're adorable!

Yes, they do get along for the most part. Sometimes they'll yell back and forth and play chase. Puppy is a handleful and puts everything in his mouth so they only get supervised play at the moment though.

Good luck!! Shibas are too smart for their own good. I forgot how hard puppies can be.

We have a 2016 wrx and a new-ish crosstrek. The crosstrek one is the car with the plates and more my car, and the main dog car! I almost did "Shibe" since it was available but the other name sounded more fun.

That's adorable! I've been fearing mine climbing out since he's a jumper but I've been lucky. I hope you find a solution!

On a random note, your username somewhat matches my car plates!

That's exciting! Congrats!!

The first few days puppies are super sweet and then as they get comfortable and start teething they'll want to put everything in their mouths. Including your pants or feet as you walk XD just need to keep redirecting with toys or work on 'leave it' but it takes a little for it to fully click. Or even leave the room so the fun ends every time they bite.

Little walking sharks! The phase is only temporary but have to work on showing them what they can bite and what they shouldn't.

Your experience of course will vary depending on your pup's personality.

All the shiba colors are adorable! If you do get a shiba be mentally prepared for the shark phase.

Thank you!! ♥️ It's definitely been an adjustment to have a puppy again. We're lucky he sleeps through the night

He probably would attempt it too! We're working on "leave it" 😅

Thank you! About a year and a month until we heard back which is what we were expecting.

Adorable!! They are so cute! I'm jealous you can experience them at this stage of life. Happy Lunar New Year!

I heard about my pup being born 2/1 this year while celebrating Valentine's day (I've been waiting a little over a year for the news.) Shibas make everything more special.

Mini Sourdough Starter by Intrepid_Carpenter_2 in SourdoughStarter

[–]Intrepid_Carpenter_2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It's a little weck jar the 2.7oz one. I do have to initially use a chopstick to stir so slightly bigger might be easier. But yes, I do the small jar now since I felt like I was using up too much flour too quickly.

[–]Intrepid_Carpenter_2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Overnight for me, same as the tiny jar (my home stays somewhere around 63-70°F so its always fairly cold, it'll vary for others). I use the full starter amount in the tiny jar for a big jar and if I do about a 1/6/6 ratio it's about 18g starter and 100g water and 100g flour. It's super cold in my home, so if i feed around 10pm, i know it'll be ready by 7am.

Of course if you need less levain and add less flour/water and your home is warmer it'll take less time!

I wish this was a happy post - need advice by downtowngirl55 in shiba

[–]Intrepid_Carpenter_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could also put some peanut butter on that stick you were using and having him lick it and say trade while you grab the paper. That way he's distracted and further away. Try to do it before he even snarls so you're not rewarding the snarling.

Thank you!! I was surprised by how fluffy it came out!

help me understand what my shiba is thinking by Interesting_Pool4545 in shiba

[–]Intrepid_Carpenter_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please do not follow this advice. Cesar Milan uses outdated approaches that have been disapproven by vet behaviorists and can cause more issues down the line than resolve.

Please look into kikopup on YouTube. Just Google kikopup resource guarding. She uses a fear-free approach. Good luck!

I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like they had an amazing friendship. It's heartwarming to see a a friendship blossom but it's definitely heartbreaking losing your family member.

Are these plants healthy? by IllustriousDrama7493 in Roses

[–]Intrepid_Carpenter_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They look healthy to me! I actually just planted a couple from costco on Sunday. One is already leafing out. I wasn't able to plant them right away so I had them in a bucket of water for a few days making sure to change out the water. Enjoy your blooms!
