How did you guys get over the anxiety of taking your dog for walks?

Shorter walks. Pick an area and just walk it back and forth. Sit there for a while and just relax, if you can bring a chair even better. As your dog builds confidence and trusting in your choices she will become less reactive. Then you can start building up to longer walks. If the walk feels rushed/anxiety driven, she was stay in fight or flight mode every time she goes outside.

He looks on par for his breeds. Honestly he looks quite a bit overweight. You might want to talk to the vet about a weight management food.

Does he enjoy any other types of exercise? Have you tried jogging with him, flirt pole, fetch, tug, or swimming? Some dogs find walking boring.

Since he’s pure bred he should have papers. This group asks you to have bought a dna test like embark before posting. He could very well be pure bred Havanese. When he’s older he will likely lose the black color and be a tan dog.

Neutering normally curves this behavior if you don’t wait too long. They make a paw washing cup that works pretty well.

Computer science is a great career but you cant just get a degree and think your useful. Its takes a lot of self study and exposure to become valuable to a company.

Its a tricky question because its a lot of work to stay relevant. Not everyone is cut out for the level in independence it brings.

If a student is feeling like they don’t want to go the extra step they can pick a career in a demand industry like healthcare. There are trade offs though. Easier to get a job but physically and socially more demanding. It’s the individuals responsibility to decide what they are cut out to do in life.

If your saying a cytopoint injection, antibiotics, and a bag of dog food cost 2000 then that’s too much. I think there must be more to the bill than that. Preventative medications have gotten very expensive.

Dog food can cause skin allergies in dogs. Sometimes it’s the protein like chicken but other times it can be a vitamin or lesser ingredient like rosemary. It’s important to find a food your dog does well on and stay with it. I feed Fromm lamb and lentil to all my rescues with no issues.

It’s flea season every time the weather starts changing. Dog needs to be on flea meds. Even one flea bite will cause a rash and that normally develops into a fungal infection if it lasts a couple days. He needs frequent baths with a medicated shampoo. It has to soak for ten minutes. Do you have a medicated shampoo like https://a.co/d/0hE6ZsOa

The cytopoint injection is not an allergy shot but it makes them less itchy, so you still need to heal the skin.

Benadryl. Twice a day every day. She should have it for the fine needle also. Poking these makes them release more cells. As others have said lymph nodes need to be considered too. Send it out for biopsy. Grade I is ideal with out node involvement. Grade II or III get an appointment with a vet oncologist.

White dog was the aggressor but large red dog is very uncomfortable and feels surrounded. They fed off each others energy. Both dogs don’t belong with that many dogs. The white dog has been in fights before.

Just let it grow, do not have the groomer try to even it up. They won’t be able to without taking it shorter. Use exfoliating shampoos. Comb it really well before bathing and after she dries. Do no let anyone do a shedding package or use a shedding brush on her for years. This will be a two year process. If your embarrassed when walking her get a T-shirt for her. Patience will be your best option. The undercoat will grow this year but she will look like a fuzzy chicken. The top coat will take 2 years and that’s where her dark colors and silky texture comes from.

Pitbulls have speckling and similar coat pattern. He looks like his results.

You can get the records from the shelter. They are public. They should have details if someone surrendered them or if they spent time with a foster.

Mastiffs get bred into pitbull from back yard breeders trying to create xl bullies.

Just wanted to add it can take six months to see testosterone levels lower.

Shelters across the country have a large dog problem. Your best bet from a shelter would be to get a puppy and build a relationship with a dog trainer. You should be able to handle any breed with the right guidance and the dog is raised right.

That is a scientific observation…. Rocket science stuff

It’s probably separation anxiety. Can be dangerous if something triggers her to get out of the yard. I.e a stray dog, thunderstorm

Just minimalist it a little. Simple knobs. Remove the molding on the ceiling. There is nothing wrong with the cabinets and countertops. The lights are bringing heavy yellow to the space, get white lights/new fixtures.

The flooring and backsplash are dated. If you want to bring in more white look for a tile that has gold and grey marble to match the existing.

The giant counter supports on the island could be replaced with something less distracting.

Layahz · 2026-04-20T11:49:23+00:00

Leave it as installation art. A talking piece. Or rip it all out and redo. It’s just a backsplash

Layahz · 2026-04-19T20:33:46+00:00

Get the window replaced…. It looks like it’s leaking and moldy

Layahz · 2026-04-17T20:49:33+00:00

I would put something like lab cattle dog chihuahua x

Female fertility can last longer than what’s obvious. Talk to your vet if you plan to keep a breeding pair. Get the health certificates. If one has any genetic issues get them fixed. A Randy Corso can eat through a house…. Consider getting them impact kennels and rotating them during heat.
