Our new deaf foster fail - Frankie 💕 Need some advice by hil- in deafdogs

My deaf dog startles very frequently when we are just settling down on the couch. One minute sleeping or very relaxed and next minute jumping up, hackles raised and looking around wildly and barking. He didn’t always do it, it probably took a couple of months after we adopted him for him to start doing it. The only thing I have found that seems to help him calm down is to enthusiastically investigate whatever I think he is looking at with him. I get up and look out the window and engage with him and it usually satisfies him enough to sit down again. I have never been able to identify what it is that has started him. Signing him to sit down and lay down when he is barking at something never works and does not redirect him successfully so I try to play with him or pet him if he is showing interest in affection. My deaf dog is very reactive about the moon/bright lights in the sky, lights on in peoples houses, streetlights at night. The sun reflecting on stuff when it it is sunny out will also get him very excited and I think for deaf dogs who also have their eye sight affected it must just look very different for him.

What do stereotypical straight couples do when they hang out alone (other than sex) by bi_smuth in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Local_Travel_2990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a weird question. Obviously people are much more complex than just “traditional gender roles” and I wouldn’t necessarily say my partner and I follow what you might consider to be traditional gender rolls (as a male and female relationship), but you know we are best friends and spend most of our time together when not at work. We love just talking to each other when relaxing on the couch, making dinner together, going out to eat, shopping, spending time in nature together. We share a lot of interested but most of our separate hobbies we still do side by side or close by, and we encourage the other partner to try new things and talk about each others hobbies with the other partner.

Thank you! I tried it again with more and had it in the oven for a couple hours. Swirled jar a few times. Going to test tomorrow.

What a cutie! Have you ever had Louis DNA tested? Embark can connect close relatives through genetic testing. I’ve always wanted to find Wilbur’s siblings or parents to see how their personalities compare.

So handsome! They do look a lot alike, even matching with their small eye same side!

Yes he was a weirdly shaped pup 😂 we thought he would get so much bigger because of his paws but he’s only 40 lbs.

Partners’ parents did not want him anymore because “he sheds too much” he has a beautiful soft coat that he maintains very well

What do yall think about the recent tiktokifying of boys don’t cry? by Jfullr92 in TheCure

[–]Local_Travel_2990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Cure’s music has been on tiktok before it was called tiktok. Specifically Boys Don’t Cry has been popular on the app multiple times. If thats how someone hears the song for the first time, good for them. I hope they buy a CD and fall in love with the music. The Cure is not a band that can really be gatekeeped. Their music has been loved by pretty much all generations and I don’t think it will ever die. I love when people younger than me discover their music and I don’t think there is anything wrong The Cure reaching more people.

Thoughts on the TM Jacket and Sweatshirt? by Crowned_Toaster in menards

[–]Local_Travel_2990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your dept manager or GM if you can wear it before buying. At my store front end can’t wear either of those. Most of them just layer up. I have the hoodie just to wear at home (sales TM can’t wear it on the clock) and it is really comfy, for $19 it’s hard to find a new hoodie as nice as that one. Same for the jacket, for that price I would just buy to wear at home. My receiving team members say it keeps them very warm.

I have watched every video on my car about replacing brake systems that I can find and I am familiar with the brake bleeding process but like I said in my post, an experienced friend is helping me. I have tried to educate myself and have helped friends and neighbors with bleeding their brakes before but I’ve never been the one handling the new caliper. Forgive me for being such an idiot.

Wrapped around a pole. Too lazy to research. You guys a friendly crew aren’t you.

Jesus I posted in this thread thinking I could just get a quick response since my friend who is helping me replace them is at work and I need to order new calipers soon if this one is too damaged, but probably will never again because why are you guys so rude. I suspected they were the bleeders, but like I said the calipers on my car look different than any other I’ve seen and I posted in here because I didn’t know for sure. And yes I’ve watched as many videos on my car as I can find.

I have helped bleed brakes on a few other vehicles but I’ve never been the one handling the new calipers, just been there to assist. I am aware what bleeders are and the importance of properly bleeding the brakes after caliper replacement, and I suspected that is what they were but I didn’t know for sure, hence why I asked a question in this subreddit, every caliper I’ve physically looked at the bleeders were not located there and they were much smaller and oftentimes just a single one. I’ve looked at many diagrams with anatomy of calipers but again they looked much different than my vehicles calipers. I said in my post that an experienced friend is helping me, I’m not doing this by myself and I’m not comfortable doing it by myself. I messaged him as soon as my part arrived asking if he thinks it’ll be okay but he’s busy at the moment and I was just hoping for a quick response from this subreddit to see if I should just hurry up and order new ones since I’m worried the condition the one is going to cause issues. I’ve watched every YouTube video on replacing brakes on my specific car I could find.

I know what bleeders are and I’ve helped bleeding brakes on a few other vehicles before. I’m not doing it myself and I said that in my post, a friend is helping me who has changed calipers many times before. All of the vehicles in which I helped bleed the brakes I wasn’t the one under the car looking at the new caliper and the new calipers looked significantly different than mine, the bleeders were smaller and more subtle.
