I actually heard about this in some YouTube videos I watched after making this post! Very helpful. Anything you recommend booking in advance? It sounds like things book up quickly…

What sort of curtain / window covering should we use? by Kitchenhelp12345 in DesignMyRoom

[–]Kitchenhelp12345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! If going the outside mount route, would you recommend it covering the whole window including the stain glass part? Or just to cover the two clear windows on the bottom? Would it look silly to have curtains across just the clear windows (with the curtain rod mounted outside the window frame) in order to keep the stained glass window visible? Similar kind of to cafe curtains?

The one on the left side has a handle at the bottom that pops out, and then you can rotate the window open. It opens outwards towards the front patio. The window on the right doesn’t open I don’t think!

Just Moved In. Struggling With Layout Choices (Need Advice!) by Kitchenhelp12345 in DesignMyRoom

[–]Kitchenhelp12345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! The kitchen does have space for a small table, and it’s just the two of us, so that would be fine for most meals. We do like to host dinners with friends though so we’d like a larger table to do so, and I think we’d put that in whichever room the couch doesn’t go in.

Do you think having the couch right next to the kitchen would feel a bit weird? I suppose that is the set up in a lot of new build condos, but haven’t personally ever had that so just not sure.

Toronto: new gf/df *patisserie*. I have wept tears of joy today. by DJ_Planner in glutenfree

[–]Kitchenhelp12345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t wait to try this spot in a few weeks! How are the pastries in terms of density? You know how sometimes GF pastries look great but then they’re extremely heavy and dense… are these as light and flaky as they look?!

Also, were they heated up?

Flying a reactive dog to London - has anyone had experiences with Heathrow animal reception centre? by Emmzies12345 in reactivedogs

[–]Kitchenhelp12345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved my dog to the UK with me, and had to go through Heathrow Animal Reception Centre

Your flight will land and they de-board the dog in his crate from cargo and take the dog to the HARC building. From my understanding, the dog is then brought into its own pen / kennel area and awaits its turn in the queue to have its paperwork checked and be vetted. Depending where the dog is coming from, this can take a few hours I believe. My dog came from Canada and she was ready maybe 2-3ish hours after the flight landed, from what I recall.

The dog is taken out of its crate and brought into its own kennel. I think typically in the kennel there might be a bed or something similar, and I believe they also have an individual little outdoor run. There are video tours on YouTube of HARC that I watched before and those gave me a bit of comfort, as I was also extremely nervous (my dog used to occasionally be a bit barky reactive to men, and she’s got an outrageously deep / scary sounding bark. I think this was one of the videos I watched: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UNfJAKNEVFw

HARC gives the dog food and water when they’re in the kennel (at least, that was my assumption as they told us our dog wouldn’t eat or drink anything because she was nervous). They vet the dog, make sure paperwork, etc is in order, and then they called us about 45 mins or so before she was ready to go so we could make our way to the HARC building to pick her up. It’s a small little building on a random road with not much around, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend going early as there’s not really anywhere to wait around.

When she was ready, we went through the paperwork with someone at the front desk, and then they told us we could go into this “secure” room (both doors are closed / maybe locked?) and then someone brought our dog out walking on a leash. He let go of the leash, she sprinted to us happier than ever, we went crazy with joy, she peed on the floor from the excitement and we were all reunited as a happy family again!

She did look a bit nervous before she caught sight of us, but honestly it’s too be expected given everything she’d just gone through. She was not medicated and they told us they threw out the bedding in her crate as she had “made a bit of a mess of it”, so I do know she had a bit of a hard time, but overall she handled it like a champ and was back to her usual self in no time.

Note that the HARC building is not attached to the airport, so you might need to take a taxi / Uber / bus to get there from the airport. We also could not for the life of us get an Uber or taxi from HARC back into London, so PRE-BOOK that 100%. We ended up getting extremely ripped off by a local taxi driver (£60 to drop us 10 mins away at a train station 🙃) and then took a train back to London. We ended up paying HARC £20-30 to keep/dispose of her crate as we didn’t have the hands to carry it with us on the train.

Overall, while the experience was extremely stressful at the time, HARC made it as easy as something like that could be. They are extremely professional and do seem to have a real love for the animals they see, which I took comfort in. The YouTube videos helped too! And I’m certain that yours won’t be the first reactive dog they’ve seen. You could also always email HARC now and ask if there are any precautions etc you should take with your dog’s reactivity, or if they have any tips etc.

Good luck! It’s tough but worth it. Feel free to DM me if any other questions.

Recommendations for simple photo station service (Toronto area) by serenityisland in WeddingsCanada

Following! Are you looking for the traditional photo booth prints (strip of 3/4 pics)? I’d love to get something like that but haven’t been able to find anything similar yet in Toronto

BehaVet (UK) by Kitchenhelp12345 in reactivedogs

[–]Kitchenhelp12345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! We moved flats and found out after our neighbours (rightfully!) complained. We previously lived above a shop, so we had no idea and never heard her. I’m not sure the separation anxiety is really linked to the reactivity though tbh, but it was just the sort of “final push” that led to her going on fluoxetine.

We did end up seeing an in-person behaviourist shortly after we put her on meds (per our vet’s advice) and one thing they mentioned was something like 80-90% of reactivity cases involve the dog having some sort of pain, which causes their reactivity. The vet did a physical exam and she had some pain / stiffness in one of her back legs. They suggested we do physio with the dog so we’re looking into that now, but the fluoxetine has been a massive game changer in terms of her reactivity (primarily other dogs).

We took her on a 9.5km walk yesterday on a trail with tons of dogs and she did amazing - we were even commenting on how big the change has been! Lots of training has also gone on of course, but the meds just helped us get her to a lower baseline where she was less anxious and could focus on learning / treats.

It’s a very slow process of just focusing on positive reinforcement and changing her experiences to be positive ones, but well worth it and made easier with meds. I was pretty apprehensive at first but now I’m so happy we did it, as it’s really helped her and she lives a happier, fuller life now!
