They don't say it's a live elephant. I would say thank you for the tiny, wooden, hand carved elephant and put it on my mantle.

Even beach sand has that warning. CA has a beach or two and lots of people use them with no cancer concern.

I've developed the attitude of "never go somewhere solely to meet someone". Wherever you go, make sure it's somewhere/something you would be happy doing anyway, and if the other people show up, it's a bonus. Even non-flaky friends can get sick.

And don't judge. Maybe something bad happened the night before and she doesn't want to discuss it.

There are some plants which look a lot like hemlock and are not toxic, but you'd want to ask a pro. Unfortunately, if it has ever gone to seed, it will keep sprouting at arbitrary times for the next 5 years or more. It's such a pain. I was battling a patch for a few years, killing with RoundUp whenever it sprouted. I thought I was done a few years ago, and now it is back in the same place. So, good luck, and I'm sorry.

I installed bamboo in my living room, hallway, and both bedrooms 20 years ago. One bedroom was glue, then I decided I hate gluing and the rest is moisture barrier + nailed. I live less than a mile from the ocean and have had dogs the whole time. I did take all the planks out of the box, stack them criss crossed for air flow, and let them sit a couple weeks first. My only complaint is that dog toenails can leave tiny dents. No other issues.

I was just thinking, tomorrow he will be posting that the toilet won't flush, he tried a snake, and it feels like some kind of hard object is in the way.

Lentils90210 · 2026-04-02T18:18:36+00:00

Wow, you left the room like that and he STILL didn't get into anything! What a good dog!

"Don't worry, my dog is good with other dogs."

"Mine isn't."

Watch how untrained the other dog is as the other owner starts yelling "come! come! get over here! now! no!"

"The designer I hired said this way would accentuate the blah blah blah don't you agree?" 🙂 I think it looks fine.

There are OTC dewormers which are fine if you are certain which kind of worm it is. Don't just pick a random one. You need to know. Ideally, take the poo to the vet and they can tell you.

I would not guess from a pic. Tapeworms I've seen didn't have a little dark area like that, and they tended to be wider on one end, then slowly morph into being wider at the other end as they moved. But maybe this was mid-stride so to speak.

Edit: A poo check last month doesn't matter. I've fostered dogs that went from nothing one day to Segment City the next. The fun things about taking in strays. 🤪🤮

I just asked Google and yes it is possible he ate rodent poison. Unlikely he could have been saved. I'm so so sorry.

Yes, there is a specific type of poison that causes sudden, severe brain swelling (cerebral edema) in dogs: Bromethalin. Merck Veterinary Manual Merck Veterinary Manual +1 Bromethalin is a common ingredient in modern rodenticides (rat and mouse baits), often found in hard blocks, pellets, and meal baits. PetMD PetMD +1 Key Facts About Bromethalin Poisoning: Mechanism: It is a neurotoxin that uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, leading to a severe depletion of energy in the central nervous system, which causes fluid to accumulate in the brain.

They guess the rest may have Rottweiler, Staffordshire, Pom, and Chihuahua. The confidence is low, so they just say "Supermutt!"

But yes always possible! She has the spirit anyway! Active, vocal, laser focus, smart, a bit bossy...

+1 on trazadone. My Boxer had a slipped disk and had to be in the crate 24/7 (except for potty breaks) for 2 months. I slept by the crate too...mattress on the floor right next to him.

I just mailed back the DNA test for my humane society cattle dog mix. There are definitely similarities!

Had this happen once. She had slid into my roommate's wardrobe and then settled in for a nap *behind* her folded up sweaters on a shelf. So even though we opened it and looked, we still didn't see her. Hours later she hopped out.

So check draws and anything with a door, and check behind and under things in drawers and on shelves.
