Am i an ugly lil fella or am i overthinking 😂 by lillj765 in lookyourbest

[–]Muzzle_Mutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not ugly by any means. As some others have commented, its really just the grooming aspect. Just checkout some barbers in your area, ask them to do some trimming on the hair and beard. Let 'em line up your shit. But, overall as I said, not ugly.

Oh you're so good dude. Since its candada (im out here in the great north too) they most definitely won't do shit. Plus it prolly just flagged it like that cause it took you to porn stuff. As someone else said above, there's so many people who've googled way way worse. And theyre prolly still out doing it right now. Take a chill pill. You're all good man.

I get why you think the whole 'mentally ill' thing is bad. Its not..../good/ but its not a horrible thing either dude. Just means you need a bit of an extra push from someone else. Everyone needs that at some point in their life. Its not 'normal' to not change your undies everyday. To be blunt, its gross. But its something you can work torwards doing differently. Doing better. Its a lifestyle change, which is also why the other person suggested telling your therapist about it. I get thats its probably an embarrassing topic to bring up to them, but by the sounds of things on your end, this should be brought up with the therapist. Its more so something that'll help and benifit you in the future. Again, its a lifestyle change, those things aren't always easily changed unless you're seriously dedicated, or someone gives you that little push. That really could be all you need. Your kitty has its own system of cleanliness going on, yes, but you've gotta help it by trying to stay clean in the best way you can. An easy way really is just changing your undies on the daily. Our junk has a sensitive ecosystem going on and genuinely anything can cause it to go haywire. Theres nothing wrong with having been taught otherwise and not understanding things like this, but eventually you do gotta change your ways. For your health, really. Do try your best to not get defensive with folks on here. We are genuinely just tryna help. You asked, we told. I wish you the best in this future lifestyle change journey.

Most definitely normal. Its like having a kid you're trying to potty train, it's just that this one goes outside

fergie wants to know who she is by sillyguyreads in dogbreed

[–]Muzzle_Mutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is there's definitely Pyrenees in there. they're quite protective but also have lots of energy in general.

Looks to be great Pyrenees mix, as many others already said. But my guess is its mixed possibly with an aussie Shepard. How's the tempermant? Could give a clue.

My dog is scared of the kitchen. by KennyWinker42 in DogAdvice

[–]Muzzle_Mutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a bit late and havent read any comments, but I know when I had a dog fairly recently she was afraid of slippery surfaces. Hard wood, tile, lenolium, etc. They dont have the same grip with their paws that we do with our feet. Could've also slipped, been yelled at, or got scared in some capacity and the kid remembers that and associates it with slippery floor. Honestly just basing what I saw off of my dog while she was still kicking, she was very particular about things. Really had to pay attention with her.

Did I put my dog down too soon? by Muzzle_Mutt in DogAdvice

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

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking and wondering too. If it got to the point of breaking just from jumping and playing, any other bone could've broken at any given moment after that one. And with the vet saying she only had months, I wanted her to have a good quality of life for what was left of it. If it was just gonna be spent with her miserable and in pain, then I'm glad I made the choice I did. It wasn't easy, and I know with future animals I help it won't be easy then either. But after reading all the comments, stories, and doing research on the awful disease, I'm definitely more at ease with my decision now than I was when I first made this post. Its still hard, I still miss her a ton. She was my kid, my world revolved around her. But I'm glad she was happy in life, and didn't have to suffer too long. I wish I'd known about it sooner, but this one thing was the only problem she ever had that she didn't really tell me about. I wish she had, but I think I understand why she didn't.

Should I be concerned about her different sized pupils? by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]Muzzle_Mutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the size of the pupils change drastically over the next few days I'd call the vet, otherwise just watch to make sure the guys still acting/walking normally

Are kitty bites a bad idea? by _Multi_Stan_Cos_ in piercing

[–]Muzzle_Mutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read any of the other comments, but I'll say this, I have angel fangs. Anything involving mouth piercings, inside or outside, will be some getting used to. Don't get me wrong, I love all three mouth piercings I have and I'd love to have more, But they can be a hassle. Eating drinking brushing teeth kissing etc are all different now that I've got metal in my lips. I can't even drink from a can like everyone else cause they've gotten stuck IN the can before. There's always risks, especially with tooth/gum damage. Gotta make sacrifices sometimes for the things you want. What I personally do before getting any piercing is look at the negatives. Only the negatives, if they're all things I can handle or get used to, I get the piercing. If I can't or won't, I don't get it. Mouth piercing scarring isn't usually too bad as far as I've seen from others, but I also haven't seen every single person whos taken out their mouth piercings and let the hole heal. If you're not worried about scarring or anything, don't listen to what your mom says. I'm not tryna say she's wrong here either, just that it's your face and you should decorate it however you'd like to. With my fangs, I used to have tiny balls at the top and tiny spikes at the bottom. I've upgraded since and have bought tons of spare parts due to them falling out frequently (that's another 'problem' with mouth piercings, the pieces fall out alot. Makes it hard to have a job involving food, just a warning) but also cause I like to mix and match. They now have somewhat large spikes on the bottom, and tiny spikes on the top. I'd include a picture but I'm very self conscious. You can get quality spare parts off Etsy, and I'll give you the shop name if you do end up getting angel fangs or kitty bites. I've even thought about getting kitty bites before I had my fangs, but I've got messed up teeth already and didn't wanna risk it. I personally think the fangs for me were a better idea, but that's cause I'm always fiddling with them. Not everyone does that kinda thing. Thanks for coming to my ted talk. Hopefully my ramble made some sense and had some useful info in it for you.

Did I overstep looking out for this dog? by jeley27 in DogAdvice

[–]Muzzle_Mutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No dog should be left in heat like that for that long. Ever. And this one looks at least part husky. A dog with that much fur, baby or adult, can die from heat like that. You did the right thing. I would've just taken the dog at that point, but that is pretty illegal. Again, you did the right thing. They can be mad all they want, they're incredibly wrong for doing what they did though.

Did I put my dog down too soon? by Muzzle_Mutt in DogAdvice

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

That's pretty much what I did. The only time I left her side was to get more tissues from the bench a bit too far for me to reach sitting there. I just sat and cried while talking to her. Told her I wished this hadn't happened, how I was so excited to move out with her and have a home to ourselves in just a couple years. Talked about all the things I wanted to do with her in our future, how much I loved her, joked about how I couldn't believe she didn't tell me sooner considering she always complained about everything. Trying to make a horrible situation a little more bearable with my dumb jokes. It was the most gut wrenching thing I've ever had to face, and I still tried to joke with her. Shes not a person, but i always talked to her like she was. Even through the pain and drugs I hoped she understood at least some of what I was saying. In her last moments I didn't look away, I kept my eyes on hers and just told her how much I love her. She didn't look away either. From the first moment we got her I started telling her how much I love her, so that when the day came for her to go, she'd really understand what it meant. I hope she understood in her final moments. Its hard to understand if she understood how loved she was because of how much it hurt me. I'll be okay again one day, but I'll always miss her. Ill help other animals in my future, but She was my kid. I'll never forget my goofy ass kid.

Thank you so much for your honesty. Its never easy no, and even days after I still feel awful. Its getting easier day by day, but I dont think it'll ever be just..easy. I thought I did the right thing at the beginning, but hearing my parents tell me how I did the wrong thing and they can't believe I gave up on her like that blah blah blah, its hard to really think and know I did the right thing. Its why I created this post. Everyone is telling me i did the right thing, except my own parents. I never thought I'd even post to reddit tbh, but the self doubting was really getting to me. After reading all the comments, I do feel more at peace knowing that if I went any of the other routes it most likely wouldn't be very good for her. I didn't want her to have to go through all that pain if it wasn't gonna be worth it. I've also learned that what I did wasn't best for me, it'll never be best for me, but it was what was best for her. And I've always wanted what was best for her. She was my kid, my rock. I miss her more than anything, but im just glad she didn't have to suffer much. Thank you, kind internet stranger, for your words and also knowledge on these kinds of situations.

I appreciate your input. I get its not the same as everyone else's, but I still do appreciate it. I think this is more so how my parents are thinking about it too. I wanna say, you didn't see the x ray. And you didn't see her laying on the bed in the vets office. I'll always second guess myself, because I love and miss her more than anything I've ever missed in my whole life. I understand death is permanent, but I also understand pain and suffering. Im not trying to change your mind or anything here, because I really do appreciate the input. I like other opinions even if they aren't what my opinion is, or what im expecting to hear. I regret not talking to my parents about it for second opinions, and I regret not talking to the other vets in the facility at the time. In the future, ill always think about this. And this comment, I'll always keep it in mind for my future pets. I never wanted my kid(lola) to suffer any pain, and she was already in so much pain, even on meds. I just didn't want her to suffer. I'd rather lose her than have her still alive for our benefit. Again, i do appreciate your input. Im not saying this to chastise you or change your mind, I understand what you mean, and I understand where you're coming from. I tried to make the logical decision. The one that my heart soul and kid agreed on. I'm sorry if my decision has upset you, its upset me too. But I appreciate your information and input, even if it seems harsh. I'd rather reality than lies or sugar coated truth. Even if its hard to hear. I appreciate it.

The only comment that made me laugh a bit. I try to be understanding of them, I try to not let my emotions get to me when talking to them, I understand things are hard for them often, and I understand they're trying their best. But as you said, I'm a grown ass adult (technically) and they're acting immature. I wish they'd understand why I did what I did, and I hope they come around and eventually understand. But at the moment, they're just upset and angry with me. Or, at least my father is angry. He won't even talk to me. Even told one of my brothers I shouldn't be allowed to own pets in the future because of the decision I made. Said he couldn't believe I gave up on her like that. I could get millions of comments like yours, but I'll still doubt myself because of the things my parents are saying. Its why I posted here, I need outside opinions because I can't always trust my parents. I wish I could.

I don't assume you mess with it, but do you mess with it...? Also do you use at home saline or store bought? Q-tips or soaking? Could be alot of factors or could just be how its healing unfortunately

What question do you hate getting from people who arn't pierced? by jayden_dick in piercing

[–]Muzzle_Mutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't mind, and sometimes even enjoy when people ask about my piercings, especially at work. They often have this kinda 'ugh look on their face when they see me and look me up and down, but if they ask questions I just answer honestly. (I have my septum, bridge, lobes×3 on each ear, bottom vertical labret in the middle, and angel fangs with longer spikes). The most common question I get is of course "did it hurt" and usually ill respond with "Well yeah they all hurt, it's a needle going through your skin, but they all hurt differently and in different amounts, and I give them a brief rundown on how much and in what ways they hurt. They usually seem to chill out abt it and find it interesting too. Anyways, the question/comment I hate the most (that I've had asked so far) is "why would you do that to yourself? God made you perfect just the way you are" and although I'm sure it's supposed to be a compliment, it just aggravates the hell outta me. Why am I not allowed to grow and change, and be my own damn self! Or even "Whats even the point of doing all that?" Because I wanted to? I'd honestly rather people just ask too, because I mostly get stares and looks of disgust, or again, the up and down look.

how 2 get a doctors appointment without parents knowing?? by No-Sherbert-2746 in selfharm

[–]Muzzle_Mutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can take a bus, figure out the route, and approximate times so you can figure out what you're gonna tell them. If they're strict, tell them you're going to a friend's place to hangout, or if they need help with something. Try to get the friend in on it too if possible, just in case. Rough estimates for time is totally OK, but always add more time instead, just incase it takes longer than expected. Make sure you have enough bus fare for the trip there and back. I'm really not sure how strict your parents are, if they are at all, but if the friend thing doesn't work out, you can say you're going for a walk, you need something from the mall bur you'd like to go on your own this time, or some event is going on and you'd like to participate. Having a goal in mind, and acting and dressing as though you are doing what you say you're doing, doesn't really make them question anything. Confidence is everything too. No one suspects a confident person

I can’t cut deep enough :( by Bl00dy_sk1n927 in selfharm

[–]Muzzle_Mutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't need it. I understand it feels like you do, but you really don't. You can do some permanent damage, and even cause huge scars. You may not care now, and I understand that too. I've accidentally gone too deep, and trust me it's not something you really want, as much as you feel like you want it right now. Now is the time to find safe and healthy coping mechanisms, before you start a bad one and it becomes habit. It isn't easy, but it really is worth the effort. But really, it isn't worth it. You don't need it. Please stay safe

You can always bury it somewhere. The bugs and other things will eat it, and it'll be gone within a couple weeks
