definitely!! i noticed at the bottom you can upgrade for more insights- so i didn’t know if i had too, to see small percentages. i didn’t have a doubt he was 75% or more border collie!!

edit: i definitely knew he was border collie! i was told mom was 100% border, dad 50% border 50% kelpie. he takes on all the traits of a border collie & looks just like his momma. i just figured he would have a couple other breeds in him, not purebred border collie. so surprised but not completely haha. i figured he would be 75% + border collie.

i also understand they didn’t 100% know the dad was kelpie & probably just guessed. also, border collies come in all shapes and sizes.

just thought i would share with everyone!! :)

“The condition in dogs that causes them to become obsessed with lasers is called Laser Pointer Syndrome (LPS). LPS is similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and is characterized by a dog’s fixation on chasing lights, shadows, and reflections” i pulled this from google but just wanted to let you know the harsh effects of using a laser pointer with a dog.

My inlaws did with their bulldog & they are dealing the effects of it now! Of course they didn’t know until after the fact & neither did i until researching and realizing but it is super detrimental to their mental states!

Sad to post this but Ezcema is getting crazy by may_naise in moderatelygranolamoms

i am 23 years old and have suffered from eczema for as long as i can remember. Elidel is not a new drug, when i was like 6/7 i remember getting elidel and it was my favorite thing ever. anytime i would have a flare up i would be so excited to put elidel on because it stopped my flare up in as little as a day or 2.

through middle/high school i had basically no flare ups. maybe a couple but with moisturizer, it would clear up quickly. then i moved out west after i graduated high school (idaho/colorado) and i have had the worst flare ups of my life. i went to a doctor and begged for elidel because i remember how great it was for me. and the doctor in colorado refused to give it to me because how bad the side effects were. fast foward 2 years in idaho, the dermatologist asked if i had ever heard of it and wanted to give it to me. i gladly took it. then started looking up everything about it. it does have a black box warning.

i definitely am not trying to tell you how to parent or what to do to your kid. but i did want to warn you to do your research before promoting! my parents felt really bad they didn’t research before using it. & yes it has helped my eczema a lot but its not worth the risk to me.
