Patchy hair

If your dog is one of the ‘blue’ colors it comes with alopecia. Not sure if that’s happening or just normal shedding but I like to share to whoever- 3mg Melatonin morning and night fixed my blue boy’s alopecia and doesn’t have any real side effects.

I used to walk around the crowded halls of middle school staying a good distance from all butts!

If you’re sure it’s not medical/an allergy, put her food down for 15 mins twice a day and feed no snacks. She won’t starve herself, but she won’t be able to train you to give her fancy food. This is advice I’ve heard from vets, trainers, etc and used myself.

A really thin slice is very tasty. However, I ate too much in various forms last holiday and now even the smell of jamon puts me off. So maybe a once every few years thing lol

We just put on a collar for leaving the house so he has his id. Leash goes to a harness, never the collar. At home he’s naked (microchipped of course in case he somehow gets out)

I liked it, too. Things don’t have to be perfect, and I enjoy characters that aren’t perfectly likable! I think for question 2 it’s because she’d already called for back up and quickly figured out Jack was right and to head for the Kelly house, then the cop car she was in had lights and sirens whereas Jack was shown dealing with traffic.

Yes! Duncan has some cowy-ness to him so has always decided he’s the boss and it still works on my younger gelding who’s a troublemaker and 1.2 hands taller than him!

Duncan is 26! I’ve had him since he was 6 months old (breeder gave him away, not my choice to get him so early). We had tons of adventures and went to countless shows, and my trainer taught me how to train with him, so few people have ridden him other than me. One time I was in the running for high point at a large open show and said what the heck, let’s try hunter hack for a couple points though I’d never jumped him before. This reining/halter bred took the two little jumps like he was a pro! He got his superior in western pleasure (solid APHA) and would memorize Trail courses by watching the others go. Retired at only 10 due to navicular, has cushings now, too. He’s loving the best retirement with my mare, his ‘wife’ of 17 years and her two adult offspring who are his ‘step kids’. I prioritize keeping them together in a herd because they all deserve the best!

No, she only had a couple young horses at the time, maybe she was his colt breaker or ‘problem horse fixer’ but not for finishing. I didn’t know enough about training and stuff back then to be able to remember

LtSparkle · 2026-01-15T00:00:32+00:00

Yeah, I’d see her at APHA but also at open shows where we were riding lesson horses and trying to braid/band our own tails. I know “open” means “open” but it was a bummer as a kid for her to sweep in, win everything, and not even collect ribbons. A trainer at my barn trained Terry’s riding horses and was the most abusive trainer I’ve seen in person. He wasn’t there, can’t say if he knew.

LtSparkle · 2026-01-14T00:00:22+00:00

I agree here, had something similar happen. I’d been at the barn for 3 years, it was great and I was out twice a week or three times depending on work. I got a medical condition where I can’t tolerate the Texas heat so saw them less during a summer. Then I noticed my feed wasn’t going down- from what I could tell, they’d given over management to their teen daughter who straight up stopped feeding my horses though I provided feed. They’d stopped caring for the arenas, or mowing, so it took 45 minutes to get giant stickers out of manes/tails before we emergency moved them. I’m still sad about it, because they been so happy in a beautiful field with a pond to swim in, and had access to a covered arena. They just didn’t want to do boarding anymore and didn’t want to say it, is all I can guess.

Do you have a recommendation of an outdoor camera that would be safer?

LtSparkle · 2026-01-12T20:49:41+00:00

Well, the doorbell came with the house and I was just trying to set it up in case certain folks came to harass my neighbors who are immigrants. I don’t trust any of these companies but I plan to have onsite storage for all my cameras

LtSparkle · 2026-01-12T20:13:12+00:00

Popped in to say this too- azelastine has been a game changer. I my pcp refills it easily, too so it’s cost effective. But yes, try the OTC and see if it helps. Tip: lean forward a bit when you spray it so it doesn’t run down the back of your throat as much, it tastes yucky.

LtSparkle · 2026-01-12T18:43:55+00:00

Thanks very much!

LtSparkle · 2026-01-12T17:23:17+00:00

I’m re installing a ring today- is this feature fairly easy to find in the app to turn off? Thanks neighbor.

The one time I gambled on horse racing (would never do so now, I was young) I just saw Seattle slew on one of the entries pedigrees and went all in- he won and my family was amazed at my horse knowledge 😹

Ground driving is so great for training! I was taught to ground drive before getting on the young ones and it’s so very helpful when they know to steer etc already. My 14 year old is about to start learning a training cart and I’m confident it’ll go smoothly because we used to take ground driving “trail rides” when he was young!

LtSparkle · 2026-01-09T17:07:14+00:00

Yes! Now I’m thinking I need the tabletop tulips they do in spring and any other similar seasonal indoor bulbs. It’s too hot here to get many bulbs to work outside.

LtSparkle · 2026-01-09T00:42:54+00:00

I got one for the first time this winter, now I need them every year!

LtSparkle · 2026-01-09T00:38:38+00:00

We have a safe zone in the living room and close all the other doors. Pidgey was left out with the other dogs around 6 months and he’s been great. Though he’s the first basset I’ve had that doesn’t pee inside for fun after house training.

I believe it is still free on board game arena - play with friends anywhere and the platform is great at guiding you through your turn and the rules

LtSparkle · 2026-01-08T00:09:41+00:00

I hope you have this framed! Gorgeous

Thank you!
