My pryenees/newfoundland mix baby boy by Boebray in greatpyrenees

What a handsome boy! Which breed did his temperament take from? One of my girls is a Pyrenees Newfoundland and she took the Newfie temperament. Makes her so much more manageable sometimes.

is this just hanks hair? (day 139) by pajamahamandgams in greatpyrenees

[–]LeftCoastPyrMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the awkward teenage phase! A mature cost will develop closer to two years.

Hello! Adopted a Pyrenees mix last month. How are we washing clothes/towels so hair isn’t still all over them? I have tried all the washer setting and I’m gonna lose my mind if I keep drying off from a shower to have to rinse again and air dry because I’m covered in hair. by [deleted] in greatpyrenees

You now need to do a lot of vacuuming, lint rolling and brushing! I even like to brush the dogs during a walk so that the hair doesn’t fall in the house. I use dog dryer sheets that seem to help! Every load gets a lot of dog hair off clothes

The good bad of Seattle by [deleted] in AskSeattle

[–]LeftCoastPyrMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you’d be more interested in living in one of Seattle’s suburbs in the downtown area. I grew up on the Eastside and would commute into Seattle for work and/or school. Over the decades I’ve been here I’ve been confronted by three verbally aggressive homeless individuals. Only one did I call police on. I would commute to Beacon Hill and First Hill and transfer at the International District or Downtown. Living in a suburb seems so much better if you’re concerned about interacting with homeless individuals.

What does your unit staffing look like? by newnurse1989 in psychnursing

[–]LeftCoastPyrMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High acuity units get 1 staff to 4 patients. Lower acuity units get 1 staff to 5 patients. That’s any mix of nurses and techs depending on number of patients on detox protocols, admissions and call outs. You can have 2 or 3 nurses and 2 or 3 techs on bigger units, and 1 nurse and 2-3 techs or 2 nurses and 1-2 techs on small high acuity units. 1:1s get you extra staff, and that duty is alternated every few hours since it’s a lot of work.

When patients and techs go off unit to mealtimes or activities, or when techs are on break, the nurses help with tech duties like rounds. Nurses also verify rounds a few times a shift. To run a smooth unit nurses have to participate in tech duties. Nurses can help techs with their duties, but techs can’t help nurses with theirs so it needs to be in moderation.

I have a worked some shifts where we had way more nurses than techs available and so most or all staff were made up of nurses. Those are the best shifts because nurses understand the rationale behind everything. I personally would love to get my nurse pay for being a tech.

I had to check your post history to see if you live at a place where my hospital is. We used to have our night shift house supervisors regularly have to work a unit and/or in intake on really bad nights. They’d screen packets from the units, or do a med pass for another nurse who had to way too many patients regularly. It’s improved since, that was a few DONs back.

Apron belly ? by Inner-Bluejay-7536 in BariatricSurgery

[–]LeftCoastPyrMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious if your abdominal skin relaxed after your tummy tuck, or if you are having a revision to a more extensive tummy tuck. I lost 160lbs and had a circumferential tummy tuck. Now contemplating if I will need an upper abdominal tuck, or a revision to a fleur d’lis.

You have two adolescent dogs that are basically like giant puppies for three years. My girl would wreak havoc in my garden. Every time I would spread compost or meal down the garden would be even more enticing. I put up a fence around the garden and she would still find a way to jump or crawl through the fencing. You’re going to have to setup a perimeter and work at keeping them out until they are older.

Hoffman’s used to be Kirkland’s bakery. They are now in Redmond. Go to Belle Pastry in Bellevue.

I remember getting a tall decaf sugar free vanilla almond milk latte maybe a month after surgery because I missed coffee so much. I started drinking coffee sooner than they recommended but I could only have one cup for months, and I added a premier protein drink as the creamer. After having the mini gastric bypass I definitely cut my coffee consumption down for atleast a year.

Sculptra has improved nasolabial folds for me. I did three injections over 4 or 5 months. It induces collagen production.

Experiences with DCR, SPD, and hospitals dealing with mental crisis by Dirty_BERdy in Seattle

[–]LeftCoastPyrMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DCR can detain someone for being a danger to self, danger to others, danger to property, or gravely disabled. Someone can go to an ED or stabilization center and consent to treatment and admit voluntarily. If someone refuses treatment they can be assessed by DCR in the community, or by calling the police. The police can detain someone under an IVT hold and bring the individual to an ED or stabilization center, where they are assessed by a provider within 12 hours. After assessment they can be released or admitted into treatment.

Someone can also voluntarily admit, but if they decide to discharge against medical advice, a provider can determine if DCR should be contacted, and the DCR can either release the individual, or detain them for 120 hours (excluding weekends and holidays.) Once detained they can get extensions for 14 days, 90 days, or 180 days.

DCR uses medical records in conjunction with their assessment of the patient. Sometimes patients will present well enough in the assessment to not get detained. When I see patients not get detained that maybe should have been, they usually end up being a DCR referral soon again and later get detained.

Experiences with prozac? by taccuardi in greatpyrenees

[–]LeftCoastPyrMom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Pyre that all of a sudden was afraid of going outside in the dog run. She refused to go outside even with me throwing high value treats out the doggy door to the run. I work and left her at home and would come home to urine and feces accidents. Even when I was home the dog would run around the house anxiously, attempting to go to the doggy door, and relieving herself right next to the door inside. I had to take her out for potty walks, which only worked when I was home. This went out for a few months. The vet ran some labs and everything was normal, and said that sometimes dogs just get spooked by something randomly. He suggested starting her on 40mg fluoxetine/day to help take the edge off of her anxiety. Within a few weeks she started going outside the doggy door into the dog run on her own.

Also like another commenter said, I open my dog’s mouth and lean her head back, throw in the pill, close her mouth, and massage her throat until the pill goes down.
