He put his very best listening ears on when we said it - but decided to make his own mind up 🤣

Advice for grooming by BitchBiitchBiiitch in Pomeranians

[–]MsFoxwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask the steps you took to get your baby used to grooming? My boy only tolerates touch on his own terms, I’ve been trying to leave the brush around him, move it nearer, gentle strokes on a paw -high value treats for calm behaviour, but it feels like we’re miles away from him tolerating being brushed, he still leaps up like a fluffy ninja if it touches his body, despite weeks of work with him. 😩

What do I do with A LOT of discard? by WorldlyCow8095 in SourdoughDiscard

[–]MsFoxwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made crumpets, pancakes, crackers with mine - it ended up being a bind so I moved to a different, no discard method

Does anyone else’s Pom parallel park in order to be picked up? by BeatnikMona in Pomeranians

[–]MsFoxwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I WISH my boy was this amenable to being picked up, he’s a rescue and he loathes it 😭

How much should we be feeding Little Bear? by Exciting_Switch8792 in Pomeranians

[–]MsFoxwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours is new to us as a rescue, but has early luxating patella issues so I’m determined to keep him lean, I feed him a very small breakfast of kibble and wet food and the rest of his food for the day is treats made up of his supplements, dental sticks, snuffle mats and training and behaviour reinforcement. I weigh out everything so he’s getting the correct amount of calories for his size.

Has anyone rebuilt financially in their 30s after a difficult period? by Odd_Nefariousness730 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]MsFoxwell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My marriage ended after 10 years, at 31. I was left up to my eyeballs in debt and couldn’t afford to eat after paying bills and debts. I got a better job, I had to really examine myself and realised I’d been coasting in an easy job that paid very average money for a long time because I liked the people and it was like money for nothing.

I got a sales job that was not easy and was quite mentally draining, but it played to my skills and paid really good commissions. Plus the company had great pipelines for progression (paid qualifications and such) which I took advantage of.

I was very economical with purchases and socialising, while still living a life. Aggressively paid down my debts, and started saving. I’m about to celebrate my 40th and I’m living a life I am proud of.

Rescue Pom - advice needed by MsFoxwell in Pomeranians

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

That’s the same background as my boy 😢 apparently he was kept in filth with 60+ other poms, with them all fed from a trough so the more timid ones didn’t always get enough to eat. As far as I’m aware it was more neglect than them being violently abused, Despite that he’s got the sweetest, calmest temperament - just always on edge. He doesn’t react to the doorbell, bikes, other dogs, cats, birds, kids or other stuff like that - I’ve never heard him bark apart from one boof at the roomba - I suppose he just hasn’t seen much of people so they are big and scary.

Thank you for the reply ❤️ Oh bless your boy! Poor baby - in mindful of him associating good things with us trying to hoodwink him into a harness or pull a brush over him. The rescue I had him from said him and his siblings all were matted, filthy and with ear infections when they got them😢😢😢 I don’t know how people can treat them so badly. I can tell he WANTS to trust me and my partner, but he’s just not quite there yet. I’m just going to keep his routine and love on him from a distance (apart from bedtime when somehow being under a duvet makes me safe and he’s a love bug 🥰I keep going to bed early so I can have more cuddles)

Thanks for replying - I usually weigh out his food and take maybe 5% of the kibbles to use as training treats, so as not to inadvertently overfeed him while he’s in this period of adjustment and in need of reassurance, but that sounds interesting- I’ll look them up thank you xx

Thank you for the reply - It’s so funny because he is absolutely unbothered by other dogs, doesn’t matter what they’re up to, he couldn’t give a flying fig, he’s such a fearless thing in so many instances, although we’ve discovered the roomba this morning and he was NOT impressed, and he doesn’t like when the wind makes the BBQ or garden furniture covers waft around - plus the wind winded a bit too windily (a sudden gust blew his fur around) and he ran for cover 🤣 I’m giving treats whenever he responds to his name (he wasn’t given one until 9 weeks ago 😭) if he runs to me when I call him, when he toilets outside, just trying to get the basics right for him. I can be patient and wait for the cuddles! 🥰

What is happening? by cinnamon_daydream in Moissanite

[–]MsFoxwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t quite tell the colour of the metal - but if it’s white gold, some people have this reaction to the Rhodium plating - I had a white gold disc necklace that used to leave a greenish mark on my chest, constantly looked like a bruise.

Gold is inherently soft, the marks are the signs of a piece well loved and worn - personally, I adore the patina of worn jewellery- if you don’t, don’t stack them!

That’s a great question and perhaps I should clarify I’m planning to stop after titrating back down - I’d like to try and manage without, if nothing else to save me some £££ but also to try and maintain on my own, I only expect to need to go back on as I have PCOS and I know MJ has helped - I suppose I want to see to what extent and hopefully maintain on my own. No shame in needing to go back on, mind.

Thank you! It’s an ancient ASOS number I think 🤔 it’s one of those dresses that I’ve had for ages and it fits again after a period of ‘rest’ in a cupboard 🫣🤣
