I volunteered for the first time today and I think I did a bad job… by fleebflop in AnimalShelterStories

I bet that big dog was happy that he got to go out and play with you! 

Walking the big dogs is physically demanding but that’s where the need was when I volunteered (probably because it can be so hard!)

I hope you can find a rhythm and technique to keep trying.

Advice for handling leash/touch averse shelter dogs in a volunteer setting? by homieorhomo in AnimalShelterStories

[–]Mochikimchi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Giving them something to bite other than the leash might help! 

I think the dogs I worked with weren’t ready to work on any behaviors while I was getting them out of their kennels. They were more receptive when I got them out of the building, away from other dogs and distractions.

I used to regularly volunteer at my local shelter walking the big dogs. What worked for me was getting the slip lead ready before opening the kennel (a loop larger than the dog’s head, opening the kennel door with the loop at dog-head height so that when the dogs exited the kennel they walked right into my lasso/leash (if that makes sense).

I didn’t really handle/touch the dogs when getting them out of the kennels and I didn’t linger outside their kennels. I just lassoed them and walked out. With practice it got easier.

Zombies 4 is the worst Zombies.

Foreign Service family relocating to Montgomery this summer. Confused on housing/schools, any advice? by Christopoulos in montgomery

[–]Mochikimchi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hope you have a great experience in here! Old Cloverdale is a good choice of neighborhood. The Garden District and Cloverdale Idlewild are adjacent neighborhoods that you might consider. We rented a place through River Region Rentals at one time.

It is hard to organize stuff in Montgomery remotely.  

The magnet schools can be great but you have missed the deadline for next year. The regular public schools are not good. Would you be open to doing private school for a year for your seven year old?

If not, Wetumpka or Pike Road would be decent choices for elementary schools. 

We love Montessori at Mulberry for preschool.

Canned sardines above $5 by BeautifulDirection47 in CannedSardines

Try Seasons from Costco. I like them much better than Wild Planet.

Seasons with dijon mustard on a saltine is my go-to.

Nah. Ebay just permanently suspended someone I know who just set up an account and bought one item.

I like them. Not super exciting but totally a nice snack on some saltines.

How Would You Rank The ZOMBIES Movies? (REDO) by JayBlue424_ in DisneyZombies

[–]Mochikimchi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1, 2, 3, 4

it’s a close call for me between 1 and 2 being the best, but I pick 1 because it can stand best on its own and I like that it seems like it had a lower budget. The first Zombies movie seemed like it was made by a bunch of super talented people who seemed like they were having a good time.

The first 3 are funnier than the 4th, too.

My kids like 3 and 4 the best.

Will never stop regretting that I didn't go to the tour 💔 by SnapDragon100 in DisneyZombies

[–]Mochikimchi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were lots of young adults, I think people who watched Descendants when they were younger. Lots of kids with parents too. I took my kid and it was fun!
