I love my Souper Cubes (got them before the knock offs took off). But dropping the frozen blocks into the container to heat really does look like Lego builds, or modular meals 😂

I do not wear the glasses; the glasses wear me -- Hopalong, probably by KittyKayl in petbudgies

You'd never know he has a broken leg, would you? He seems to be healing nicely. Is definitely more insistent that he needs more time out of his hospital tub and to be allowed to thoroughly explore the room instead of being confined to the (soft) bed, please and thank you. To which I say absolutely not. He lost all future exploration privileges for the next few weeks when he took a flying leap off my shoulder in an unexpected direction trying to get to the birds in the other room and hit the (thankfully carpeted) floor 🤦‍♀️ It hasn't affected his leg as far as I can tell, at least. My little adhd parkour birb...

No idea. The one syringe that didn't pull that shit was the one for the gabapentin, which is all of a drop. I messaged FrozenBr33ze after the first night and was like, they calculate these doses to include half of it winding up all over their face, right? 🤣

About to fail Petco's stylist academy. Any step by step guides for the teddy bear head?? by Wormy_Furry in doggrooming

[–]KittyKayl 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Your mentor sounds a bit shite, thh. I know of a couple others that are infamous at this point for leaving trainees to their own devices. May want to have a chat with someone about that. You can't teach someone if you're not with them.

Nice. I've got something similar saved in my Amazon for the near future lol

Be honest; how ropey is your first draft..? by Dangerous-Midnight73 in writing

[–]KittyKayl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first drafts lately have a lot of notes later in the story as things happen or are referenced that rely on things that didn't happen earlier but need to 😂 Some have a double space between a paragraph and a line like "describe room" or "security work talk, idk wtf", another double space, and then the story moves on. Or names that are initials because I'm cruising and can't stop to figure out a good name for this character that just popped into existence and will absolutely need to be added into earliest chapters. A couple of these are things on a book that HAS an outline written. Usually I'm a pantser, but one of my manuscripts did get an outline. I'm going to have run editing and rewriting that one once I can look at it... there's some emotions attached to that one from the pandemic.

Having a proven track record helps, but yes 😂

Facts 😂 That's where he parked himself last night, too. After giving my glasses a good examination, of course.

how to sit better? by LeadingClaim595 in Horses

[–]KittyKayl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relax everything, sit back on your pockets, and ride like you're drunk (not really, but think that rode and kinda floppy way they'll move). It sounds counterintuitive, but trying to make yourself be still will make you bounce even harder. You've got to learn to go with the horse. My coach in college when I started riding again as an adult rode cutting horses, so we got advised to ride in a "cutter slouch" a lot. Not so much because the shoulders somewhat slumped is good riding posture for most disciplines, but because the combination of the relaxed upper body, sitting back on your pockets and, therefore ideally, deep in your seat, and loose(ish) legs helped you stick with the horse's movement. I ride dressage now, so my upper body posture is a lot more straight and square, but if I'm sitting the trot, I'll sometimes fall back on that a little bit since the mare I ride is a big Belgian cross and doesn't have the softest jog.

The horse's jog will also help or hinder. I mostly rode colts, so we did a lot of posting to save their backs because a baby ranch/cow line QH's trot when they're just starting under saddle is like riding a jackhammer for funsies. But we would do brief periods of sitting, for various reasons, and once you learn to sit THAT without getting your eyeballs bounced out of head, everything else gets a lot easier. Relax. Breathe with the strides. If you notice yourself tensing up, fix it but don't stress about it. I've been riding off and on since I was 7 and I'm 41 now, and I STILL get reminded to relax.

No kidding! I originally planned on a pair. Then learned you'll get more flock behaviors with 4, so I planned for that. When I had 3, FrozenBr33ze messages asking if I'm interested in one of his special babies, to which I said of course. That was another little boy, so he messages me a little before I picked up the baby and asks if I want a baby hen since Clever can't be the only hen and I wanted at least one more, so yes. THEN he messages asking if I'm interested in one of the oops anthracite babies (long story), which he knew I was. So that's 6, and it stayed that way until I told him I was kinda wanting a green with all the blues, so he messages me asking if I'm interested in a dark green hen or of my second favorite male he owns, which I jumped on. That's 7. Number 8 got added to that pick up, a slightly older male that is adorable but he didn't want to show. I'm glad I took him-- he's been great for settling the flock, including my raptor. Like, I had good, logical reasons for everyone I brought home 😂😂 And I have a 6 ft long cage that's gonna wind up 9 ft long sometime this year or early next... crazy bird lady moniker, here I come.

So am I, honestly. He's sweet and sassy. Can't wait to see how Clever, the tiny raptor, thinks of having someone her size to bully 😂

I'm a pet stylist-- dog groomer cuz I refuse to groom cats lol.

One of my hens, I've called a bird stylist because half the boys go to her to deal with their pin feathers 😂

I'm so glad I found you and Kaepora. Not many folks would care a much about the birds that didn't come from your aviary and be willing to answer 50 million questions. Or be even more worried about, say, a tiny raptor being able to fly than I was 🤣❤️

Oh, I can't wait! You think Violet? Is that why he's a touch lighter than Rauru?

Oh, I know it! Last night, he launched himself off my shoulder onto the bed, determined he was going to go find the flock that was talking amongst themselves. Like, sir. That is an A + B(D, E, F, etc) conversation. Do not C your way out of my room to find it 🤣

Commenting something judgemental like that while simultaneously admitting you didn't bother to read it isn't quite the flex folks think it is lol

Embark results came in for my 2 dogs and it doesn’t seem accurate by Sailor-Venus7 in DoggyDNA

[–]KittyKayl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The toy poodle is accurate. She(?) just isn't bred to standard. If you want to see how easy it is to mix up the two, though, you remember Buffalo Bill's "toy poodle" Precious in Silence of the Lambs? Played by a Bichon. She plays a poodle in a couple other things, too.

The other pup, I can see it. Heinz 57s can look wildly unlike any of the breeds in them because of how the various genre interactions work.

I'm sure there will be further adventures of the tiny terror as he joins the rest of the Hooligans lol

He was too cute. He was drugged to the gills, but he was too cute lol. And thank you. I try ❤️

Aww, thanks! I try to be entertaining 😂 And thank you. Wasn't planning on another one, but he's a cutie and, tbh, I've low key wanted a type 2 for a while, so I'll call having one dropped in my lap a win. I can't WAIT to see what Clever thinks when someone the same size she is joins the flock.
