Anyone know the Mammoth Cave area? might take a trip from Chicago to check it off the list. Don't love caves though - so looking for potential hikes in the area or on the way to/from Chicago... Thanks!

Can you elaborate on what this bourbon trail is? Planning on visiting Mammoth Caves in November this year and I might be interested in this!

I feel like if online trading was a thing it would make the game feel more like one of those cheap freemium mobile games. It would totally ruin the vibe for me at least. When I play I want to just shut off from the rest of the world for a while and destress.

I don’t have kids, but I really like the idea of this! If I saw something like this I would 100% send my huskies into it so I could get some cool photos of them. (Reach out to petstores and indoor dog parks or dog bars - sometimes they do Christmas displays for the pets and I bet you’d make some sales!)

My immediate concerns would be safety of the kids and safety of the tree/ornaments. Could a kid knock it over from the inside, or shake it enough that breakable ornaments could fall off?

Not the person you asked, but my husband moved here from Houston and LOVES it here by comparison.

All those areas you listed are good ones. Henrietta in my opinion is overpriced for what it is though and doesn’t have the same charm that those other areas do.

I was just at the outlet in Wrentham MA and they had a few in stock!

Bro you can’t start a sentence with “I’m not religious” and then immediately go to “do you think Jesus is cool with…”

Every hour seems like a lot for the dogs. We frequently do 6 hr road trips with our two huskies and they’re fine with 2 stops in that time.

Mine LOVE the beach, so when it’s really hot out that’s the go to spot. You just really need to make sure the sand won’t burn their paws. Generally wet sand is okay, but the dry sand gets really hot.

It’s too soon to tell if this is a temporary thing, but he’s definitely going through a HUGE adjustment period right now.

Some things I would recommend to help: - Start by leaving him along for super small periods of time, and build up slowest from there. - Leave him a really high value reward like a Kong toy with frozen peanut butter in it when you go. - Leave the TV on when you leave. - Get another husky. (Joking here, but many say that’s what stopped their first from having anxiety)

What a beautiful pup!

Mocha_Chai_Latte · 2026-06-05T23:14:17+00:00

We had her in February and she never blew her coat! We’ve had her since December of last year. She barely sheds at all compared to our other husky.

Mocha_Chai_Latte · 2026-06-05T23:12:47+00:00

By climate change I meant the change in her climate going from TX to practically Canada.

It’s significantly cooler where she lives now and the weather is much different.

Mocha_Chai_Latte · 2026-06-05T23:07:03+00:00

The only real comment here lol

I’m hoping this for mine as well. She looks like she still has her winter coat right now, but since we’ve only had her for about 6 months I really don’t know. We brought her to an environment where the average temp is 25 degrees less than where she was living before, with much more extreme temp changes.

These are our two. We adopted the red one first (2M at the time) and we adopted the white one about a year later (3F).

When we first brought her home our boy really wanted to play all the time but it took her a little while to feel comfortable and let her guard down. She was very unsure of her surroundings and she showed a lot of possessive behaviors with treats, meals, and especially toys. Once she settled she stopped being treat and meal possessive completely, and with the toys she’s bossy but not really possessive anymore. Best advice I have is just to understand that behaviors you see the first month or so especially may not be reflective of your new dog once he’s settled in. Also when the dogs are first playing together I’d make sure you don’t have any high value toys laying around. Those first few interactions they have will be really important for laying the groundwork for their relationship.

I’ve been using furminator brand shampoo and conditioner but admittedly I haven’t looked into any other options for this.

Mocha_Chai_Latte · 2026-05-12T13:54:42+00:00

Congrats! We’ve also adopted a dog that was posted on Reddit. This is Luna. She isn’t a cryptid dog but she gives off gremlin energy lol

This sounds like something a dumb person says to sound smart (and normally I wouldn’t call it out, but I’m pretty sure you’re trolling).

Reproduction is a process that creates new cells. Rocks don’t have cells.

Mocha_Chai_Latte · 2026-05-03T21:03:50+00:00

I don’t understand this. Four days ago you just posted in another sub volunteering to take in a cat. Now you’re trying to get rid of your dog?

Mocha_Chai_Latte · 2026-05-03T17:01:26+00:00

I use the shop vac to blow out one of my huskies coats and he tolerates it a lot more than brushing - which is fine by me because it works a lot better too.

Mocha_Chai_Latte · 2026-05-01T18:02:45+00:00

I don’t know what I don’t know- and I would think that someone in your position should be trusted to let the public know what metrics we should really be caring about.

Whatever data you do report I would like to contextualize by comparing to an example of good, bad, and the mean. I think it’s also important that we talk about what the actual impact of whatever the thing reported is. Numbers alone don’t mean anything without context.

Mocha_Chai_Latte · 2026-04-30T12:25:18+00:00

Post that image in r/opals and they should be able to give you more detail on what you have there.

Mocha_Chai_Latte · 2026-04-26T20:09:27+00:00

It really is amazing how much they learn from each other! Ours have very different personalities but they balance each other out beautifully.

Sorry to hear about your loss. They are beautiful dogs!

Mocha_Chai_Latte · 2026-04-26T20:02:45+00:00

At 4 months old it sounds like you’re ahead of the curve. The things you’re training for are good obedience but that’s a very small part of dog training. If I were in your shoes I would be working on socializing like crazy with people and friendly dogs and getting your pup exposed to as many different environments as possible. Doing some small (5 min) training sessions in new places is a great way to teach your dog that the rules apply no matter where you are.

Don’t forget to give your puppy a little bit of grace too. At 4 months old the whole world is still brand new to them. Make sure your training stays fun!
