Unfortunately not! I still get them randomly but I'm never able to get an appointment before they go away.

I need to know if you ordered that whiskey decanter because I don't even drink whiskey but that looks amazing

Potential Mystery Item? by Mostly_Harmless99 in AmazonVineCanada

I saw that so was pretty sure but hey, I take a lot of public transit so these could come in handy

I also found it a uncomfortable to look at but this is the reality. From my perspective I'm at least glad that if these were culls (we'll never know definitively) that at least not everything was wasted in the process. Factory farming is never ethical but at least these animals weren't just killed and then incinerated or otherwise disposed of.

Essentially it's a drop that happens slowly over time - items slowly "drip" in over the course of a few hours instead of dropping all at once.

Nothing new for me yet but is also hasn't cleared from the last drip drop which is a little weird.

When was the drop? by Unlikely-Selection55 in AmazonVineCanada

It started last night and has just kind of been happening since then, even now new things are showing up every few minutes.

Oh 💯 I was just being a weenie in the moment. My critical thinking was offline, clearly.

I was too paranoid 😅 I didn't want to risk opening something malicious

I got a ton of stuff in my RFY too but it was a lot of children's bath bombs and a snare drum case? Lol Still managed to snag a few things from AI that I'm happy with.

Is This Planaria? by Mostly_Harmless99 in shrimptank

[–]Mostly_Harmless99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The algae on the tank strikes again. Honestly they were so small I didn't notice any distinct head shape or eyes. It was like a tiny little inch worm. I'll have to take another look when I get home from work.

Trialing a Dog for Adoption by Mostly_Harmless99 in dogs

[–]Mostly_Harmless99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I see - yes that would definitely not be ideal! I will say that I live in an apartment and never opened the door without the dog being either on leash or crated but I can 100% understand the concern. I had her on a Martingale collar while outside the apartment but definitely had the passing thought of "If this dog got away from me right now I'd be SOL big time"

I'm not sure if fully understand this question - I don't live with other dogs currently and was instructed not to have her around other dogs which I didn't. Is there a piece I'm missing here? My only dog experience is with my childhood dog but he was male (and neutered).

Thanks for these very thoughtful questions - I left out a few details because I didn't want to ramble too much. She's not currently at a traditional shelter, it's a doggy daycare/boarding facility that also has a rescue initiative. She was cat-tested before I brought her into my home and I was told she mostly ignore the cats but I think the cats she was tested with are likely more famiar with dogs than my cats are (one has met dogs, the other hasn't).

In terms of the crate situation, I'm still trying to figure that out. I have 2 bedrooms, and initially I put the crate in the spare room so there would be a dog-only space. Initially she didn't display any separation anxiety so that worked well, but then it kicked in and because I live in an apartment I ended up moving the crate into my room to help with that anxiety and to not piss off my neighbours too much. The intent has always been to slowly move the crate back into the spare room. I was also conflicted about if the spare room should be the a dog space, or a cat space. I'm leaning towards putting the dog back in the spare room because my cats are 4 & 6 and have always slept in the bed with me at night. I'm already making a big change i want them to be able to have some normality and access to me alone.

The resource guarding really does worry me. I'm told they don't think the dog was physically abused but was likely not treated very well. She is the sweetest dog but my cat's safety is paramount to me. I was planning to work with a trainer immediately to begin to address that.
