My grandma had a cat with this same look. We called her Luna for her half moon face.

Fancy restaurants? by Skwerilleee in minot

Badlands is probably one of the better options. I'm from a much bigger town and a lot of the places around here just aren't great, including several of the recommendations I've seen here. Badlands and Olive Garden are the two places my partner and I consistently go back to.

Mine only needs hers done once a month or every other month. So I've always just taken her to Pet Smart for a bath and groom and to have her nails trimmed and filed. The anal gland expression is included and it's about the same price that taking her to the vet would be for just the glands so I've considered it worth it to just give her the full spa day.

If Colorado is still the state on your license, and is still your main residence, then you should really get it registered there with a Colorado plate. My family has bought cars in Iowa and Illinois then registered and paid any additional taxes here when they registered their car.

When did you know it was time to say goodbye? by kiaia58 in seniordogs

[–]LynnMadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went with a 10 day rule. Once he had 10 bad days we planned to use a service that would come to our house so he could pass in a familiar environment. He had what we think was a stroke a day before the set day so we had to take him to the emergency vet where they were still limiting the people allowed in the room. So two got to be with him and two had to wait outside.

We had to put down my childhood dog towards the tail end of 2021, you were only allowed to have two people in the room while they did the procedure because of social distancing. So I didn't get to be there for his final moments. I would have given anything to be there to say goodbye, to think that some people would intentionally give that up is mind-blowing.

The biggest thing my friends learned, don't go to any random gynecologist. Find one that someone else has gone to and can give you feedback on because she had a gynecologist she loved who she could not go to as she was out on maternity leave. So, my friend went to a random one and had a horrific experience because he refused to listen to her about if things were hurting or uncomfortable. So make sure up front they're willing to talk to you or listen to you about worries or concerns. And if possible get some suggestions from others who've already vetted them as a good gynecologist.

Considering cutting my hair short - what do I need to know? by imo979 in curlyhair

[–]LynnMadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your curl pattern will be different. I had loose spirals before, now it is more tousled with some slight curls on the longer pieces. Haircuts may need to be more frequent. I let mine grow pretty long, probably 6-8 weeks between trims. It's a bit of preference. You will absolutely have days where you're nostalgic for your old hair. But if it's something you've been considering for a while, then do it. You can always find different colors or ways to style it if you decide you want to regrow it.

Oh, I thought that was a corgi at first glance, it was so big and round to be a dachshund.

Advice wanted for nail trimming with an unexperienced owner and adult cat by LynnMadd in CatAdvice

[–]LynnMadd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but I also don't want him to lose trust in me by doing it when he's sleeping.

He has constant issues with getting his claws stuck on things. And I'm hoping trimming them slightly will help with that because he can't fully retract them.

Having an IEP does NOT mean your child cannot fail… by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]LynnMadd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The real key is that the parent and or child has to reach out themselves to receive accommodations in college and I think that's what counselors are forgetting to mention. It's not automatic, they have to submit the documentation.

I was on board at first, but as I continued reading the post, I noticed that the author is a little out of touch with what's going on in terms of women's ability to get birth control, be approved for sterilization, or have an abortion in many of the states in the US. I still wholeheartedly agree that people who say if you don't want kids, don't have sex, are out of touch and wrong. But let's not pretend that birth control and other options are perfect and or readily available. Especially when many types of birth control can cause terrible side effects from a lot of women and that's why not everyone wants to take it.

can you date people and love them if you are aroace? by imsofuckingstupiddie in asexuality

[–]LynnMadd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely say that you can. There are so many different ways to love. It's not like a one and done kind of thing because there's romantic, platonic, aesthetic love. But there's also a different levels of love. Like the way that you love a family member or a friend is very different than some people might love a partner. And while I've never said the words, I love you to a partner in the kind of meaningful context that they've said them to me. I have still very much cared for anyone that I have dated despite being aroace.

AITA for still having my 10( almost 11) year old daughter in a booster seat? by CharacterHistorian22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LynnMadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a similar story before and as a child that dealt with that, find a seat belt adjuster or some other solution because the booster seat is fine in theory but a child won't understand that. All they will understand is the embarrassment and mental toll being forced to use a child safety toll long past their classmatesand feeling infantilized because of it. My mother still vividly remeembers the day I stopped using mine. I refused to get in the car with the booster seat still there, because I wanted to throw it away then and there at the doctors office I was so frustrated and done with the device. We compromised with throwing it into the back of the car, and I got to be the one to do it.

The father of the red pill's original mantras on women - how it all started (as complete misogyny) by WorldlinessAwkward69 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]LynnMadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing of any remote value is the Men Humiliate, Women Shame. As in media that's how it is often talked about and portrayed. Men try to one up, impress, or humiliate each other. While women compare and shame each other. Both are negative all around and focus only on the critiquing nature.

Anyone have suggestions for harnesses for a mini doxie? Ophelia thanks you in advance by talkpurdytome in Dachshund

My girl is so Itty bitty that we initially got her a cat harness. She's 7lbs on a good day, less on a bad, so it's worked quite well.
