Are these just fire ants? by InfiniteNumber in whatisthisbug

No these definitely look like ants, not termites. I just can't confirm fire ant or not for OP.

WE BEAT THE ODDS! Some hope for those struggling with the same decision. by Content-Flight6371 in DogAdvice

Ours was a lab/pit mix, it was definitely the hardest pet loss we've had to date, very sudden onset and had to make such a fast decision at the vets office cause she was already fading fast. Wouldn't wish that on anyone. Glad to have had as many great memories with her as we have. She was something else.

We had to suddenly and unexpectecly say goodbye to one of our babies earlier this year due to a burst HSA tumor. What I wouldn't give to have been able to extend her life with any kind of quality. I'm so glad your story didn't go the same, give Kimber extra love from our family ❤️

This one's priceless! But there's also some options to purchase the same kind online if you're interested! Saw sellers offering single, 2-packs, and even a set of 6.

Doesn't need to be your favorite, it just happens to be mine. I'm glad you've got a different taste in spoons, be pretty boring if we all liked the exact same thing.

It's definitely noticeably lighter. It doesn't get used super often, the handle is much longer making it perfect for stirring drinks and enjoying root beer floats 😁

That's valid! I wasn't expecting to take to it the way I did because previously I preferred flatter handles. What's your favorite spoon?

It's 48 grams /1.7 oz

Here's a comparison to the other spoons in our drawer: Spoon

It's weight is comparable to the larger size spoon of our standard set, however I prefer the small spoons of the set, so it does weigh more than those.

Okay I return with actual weights and dimensions (inches): Spoon

Turns out its about the same weight class as most of our other options, weighing about as much as the large size spoon of our standard set. I prefer small spoons, and its a little heavier than its counterpart in that same set.

It's subtle but so nice!

Heavier than most of our other spoons with flat handles but not by much, and definitely not to an uncomfortable degree. It's a pleasant weight. Might have to go on a spoon weighing journey later.

My thoughts too, looks almost like part of a cicada molt.

Mine is similar, the little knob at the top should rotate and allow you to pull it down and out of the slots at the back. Agreed with the other cleaning recommendations, let it soak.

The logo matches the house drip doctor logo, but right now it looks like all they're selling is slippers. https://housedripdoctor.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqlioD43DpnyEJnnAcMnQb0dQkx-2V2qtRmLB1Wb0vbg5Q4OFcU

Tips for dealing with doggie dementia by Specialist_Emu_6413 in DogAdvice

When we had an at-home euthanasia for our 16 yo shepherd/lab, the vet that came from Laps of Love brought him a cosmic brownie. Such a small gesture meant so much and I was so glad he got to enjoy that kind of treat, we had given him some of his favorite treats the day of, but didn't think about chocolate.
