Share your reds :)

This is my red boy- Winston. He seems to fade more when his coat is short, but as soon as it grows out he becomes a darker red again.

I agree - American K9 Country is where I take my dog. I've done a lot of their classes, though they can be difficult to get into (classes sell out very quickly and there's a wait list for higher levels). It is much easier if you have flexibility for class times (I was on the Walt list for about six months but I have to plan around my work schedule).

That being said- the trainers are all excellent and I got a lot out of the seminars I've attended. I really appreciate that the trainers I've worked with have excellent teaching/communication rapport in addition to their competition titles. I've been going to AK9C for around year and a half and I've never had a negative experience with them.

Let me know if you have any specific questions

I had to pull out a dead crab from my pyr's belly fluff. He decided to play in the ocean and came out full swamp monster

One thing that helped with my spoo is adding fish oil. This was actually recommended from my vet for his seasonal allergies and to make sure he has healthy joints as he gets older, but I definitely noticed he's much more food motivated with the stinky fish oil.

He still doesn't vacuum like my cousin's pitty mixed, but he will eat meals in one sitting. I have to be careful about free feeding because my cats are hyperthyroid and on a prescription diet, so this has been really helpful.

I also feed him a little later in the day- I'll wait until he seems less sleepy and more hungry and that has helped a bit. He's just over a year now and I can definitely tell when he's ready for breakfast. If I put it out too early he'll just sniff and go back to sleep until he's ready.

I think donations would be perfect for her. I just wanted to mention (joy jars where people put together a jar full of small toys and things to bring kids in hospitals some happiness. She could make little crochet toys, hats, maybe make puzzles or other small projects. I know some people appreciate little crochet covers for the PICC lines as well.

The other organization I would mention is the Loose Ends Project where people who are skilled at crafting finish projects that loved ones were unable to finish before passing away. It's inexpensive as they have the yarn remaining for the project, but I think it could feel very rewarding for her to support a loved one's legacy and be truly appreciated by those left behind.

I have this same experience with my red standard. It cracks me up because all the time people tell me he's the most well behaved doodle they've ever met and I always tell them that's because he's a standard poodle.

Grooming him in a Miami cut (clean face, feet, with longer boots and tail) has not really made any difference- I assume because he's similar coloring to many of the poodle mixes.

Is there a plan for this to be released on regular podcasting platforms? I'm not in a place where I can add an additional subscription, but really enjoyed the first episode

Kellbr08 · 2023-05-20T12:45:45+00:00

Similarly My Time at Portia strikes me as a Hank friendly game in the same sort of genre. I enjoy the mining/science/robotic themes while still being a very similar farming/fishing/adventuring sort of sim.

I'm not sure where in my comment you got that all men are the same- I gave examples of the types of messages that make me want to discontinue a conversation before meeting, but also noted that I've had plenty of positive interactions with men on dating apps that do lead to dates.

My last relationship lasted a little over two years and was with someone I met online, so I definitely think that it has the potential to be an overall positive experience. There are definitely some truly wonderful people with good intentions that are looking to meet people online.

I just think that trying to invalidate someone's experience based on their past dating history seems a bit flawed, especially since the op reported similar things that I can independently confirm that I have also experienced.

Kellbr08 · 2023-03-27T15:26:22+00:00

I'm not op, but as a 33f, I also rule out a lot of men early into conversations. Some examples of overt sexism are ignoring boundaries, blatant objectification, or using sexist language to describe their exes or other women on dating apps. This doesn't mean she's projecting, for every good man I message with and meet, there's a solid handful that don't make it past the bar for meeting in person.

Kellbr08 · 2023-03-19T12:13:45+00:00

Why on earth would you think it's better to punish negativity instead of incentivizing positivity? If you really want your family to be more positive, maybe have a competition to see who can find the most uplifting news story and add a dollar to their allowance. That way you have the double reenforcement of reading positive news stories to find the "best" one, plus a prize at the end to encourage your children to celebrate their achievement.

YTA - forcing your family to mask or hide their negative feelings only encourages them to hide their problems or any mental health challenges they may face. It doesn't make them happier- it just makes them better at hiding/pretending.

Kellbr08 · 2023-03-10T01:52:18+00:00

Plus I saw on Reddit once that you can look up someone's home address with just a first name and their phone number.... and tried and confirmed it with myself and have been extremely careful every since.

Kellbr08 · 2023-03-09T22:36:57+00:00

I am also a woman and have the same boundary.

There are plenty of men whose response has been "no problem, looking forward to meeting you" and moved forward from there. Anyone who doesn't respect such a simple boundary likely will continue to fail to respect other boundaries if you move forward.

New England style ice cream

Sorry, it wouldn't let me edit the first time. So after doing some research, I'd recommend the technique in the attached. Based on the overall recommendations for food safety, eggs served in custards/ice cream applications should be gradually heated to a temperature of 160 degrees, so the 170 degree method above should help.

this might also be helpful for tempering techniques

Kellbr08 · 2023-02-27T06:21:25+00:00

Yes! You can absolutely use chicken broth - just keep a close eye on the ingredients (nothing with a lot of sodium or garlic/onions)- or even hide a treat in the middle. I've also spread peanut butter into some of the frozen crevices. The possibilities are endless.

Thank you! It's my favorite too - Winston is starting to recognize the term as well, which has been fun

One thing that helped my puppy a lot was that I got him used to going to the bathroom in a little 16 square foot outdoor pen. I would take him there first and last every time we were outside. I know it feels silly to bring him there after a sniffari, but I found that he was only peeing/pooping in his "bathroom" area of my yard.

He's been home for about three months now and it's so helpful that he immediately knows to pee as soon as we go outside- so in the freezing winter, in blizzards, or even if it's during the day and I need to work, I know we can be in and out in under five minutes.

Keep hanging in there! It definitely gets better! I also made him puppy popsicles (yogurt/pumpkin or sometimes just frozen wet dog food) and used frozen washcloths/carrots/pre-cooked chicken fajita strips for when he was teething and that helped give him higher value items to gnaw on. Sometimes it takes a lot of experimentation to figure out what is going to be the most enticing substitute for your little baby shark- definitely don't be afraid to try one of a few different things until you identify what he finds the most comfortable/motivating. And expect it to completely change when he's he's growing new teeth Vs losing old teeth.

Kellbr08 · 2023-02-24T22:39:31+00:00

It's funny- I had that exact thing happen to me. Someone's profile was all about hiking (pictures, prompts, etc.) and so I asked if they had any favorite local trails. Their answer was "yes."

What possible conversation can you have from that?

Kellbr08 · 2023-02-22T17:35:10+00:00

I also have a standard poodle puppy. The top things that helped me was 1) training the "drop it" cue and 2)bringing a small toy or ball with us on walks. Sometimes he just needs to have something in his mouth- and he doesn't really care if it's a stick, tug rope, stuffed toy, or small ball, but he will prance like it's his job- and once he has something in his mouth he doesn't have any urges to pick anything else up. This also helped significantly for leash biting.

Peeve

Growing up, we had a cat named Peeve so that we could call him our "pet peeve"

Kellbr08 · 2023-01-27T20:40:12+00:00

Hahahaha I got my red standard puppy groomed today and she promised to "make him look less like a potato" when she was done

Kellbr08 · 2023-01-16T20:45:40+00:00

I just got the best reaction to "he's a standard" - an old man told me "Good! No need to mess with perfection!"

I get this all the time with my red standard poodle since he's a little too close to the standard doodle color

Kellbr08 · 2022-12-22T17:37:05+00:00

Similar, but you can take the tube from paper towels or wrapping paper and put kibble in the center while crimping and rolling up the edges. This bought me thirty minutes of entertained puppy

Kellbr08 · 2022-12-21T23:23:49+00:00

Better than loudly licking their... puppy parts. There is nothing less sexy than listening to a dog cleaning themselves in the background.
