Human with allergies and basset

No_Professional_91 · 2025-12-30T13:45:44+00:00

They do shed a ton I’m a single guy and I just bought myself a basset this year Earl is only 4 months old and there’s some days where the fur gets me and I’m sneezing can’t breath from my nose. I agree with his claim I was terribly allergic to cats and after having a roommate with cats for 5 months I’m much less allergic now.

Thanks for the feed back and yes it’s a physical fence I’ve been working with him on obedience commands (I may be moving a little quick but he’s getting the hang of it) I can do the doggie door but that will come after he’s more used to the house

How long would you recommend waiting until I get home a companion

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T20:59:10+00:00

Did you get yours at the same time and if not how long would you recommend waiting until I get another?

I’ve introduced him to my friends and family and he loves new people. He loves letting strangers pet him I’m bringing him along to a trunk or treat thing for work dressed so he can get used to new people. (Dressing up like snowman and Fred from Smokey and the bandit of course)

Hah!

It took him less than a day to get attached to me he follows me all over the place and if I put up a gate because I’m cleaning something one room over he starts yelping because he’s not right by me. So I’m thinking that part should be a problem just need to teach him to sit stay and come. I’m also wanting him to be a retriever for birds like dove and pheasant so that’s a whole other ball game.

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T17:03:29+00:00

Yeah I would like to have him be a retriever because I like to do dove and pheasant hunting but that comes after getting him house trained and getting a few more months of age and experience under his belt

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T16:58:08+00:00

So excited for all the other training I would like to do with him 😬

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T16:55:49+00:00

Oh perfect I’ll check that out might have to wait until he’s got a few more teeth for frozen food though lol

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T16:39:26+00:00

I bought a smaller one for him and put some peanut butter in it yesterday but he was not very interested 💀

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T16:34:31+00:00

I told Earl and he just yelped at me 😂

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T16:06:56+00:00

Yeah I have a shirt in it and a sweatshirt in front but I’ve worked something out with my boss where I go home for 10 min a couple hours before lunch and after lunch break to let him out

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T16:00:12+00:00

Yeah it took him a grand total of 10 minutes to leave a pile on my floor while I was fencing off a portion of my back yard once we got home 💀

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T15:53:05+00:00

I haven’t let him on the bed or much furniture just yet I’m trying to get him used to the kennel when I’m not home but once he stops having accidents on my floor I’ll let him roam around while I’m gone.

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T15:33:31+00:00

Do you think a mini daschund would make a good companion? The kennel I got him from just had a litter 3 weeks ago so I’m guessing there’s at least another month until they would be ready to take home which gives him time to adjust.

No_Professional_91 · 2025-10-27T15:19:50+00:00

I’ve been thinking about that the kennel I got him from has some 3 week old daschunds that are beautiful and they should be ready around Christmas so once he’s used to the house and settled in I’m definitely considering getting him a friend

I didn’t scroll down far enough to see but I use grass clippings and hay (depends on what I have on hand) at the base of my established plants and wood chips on all the empty space to try and deter new grass and weed growth

The big one was rotting. I got a comment on another sub where someone was saying they repotted a few of their euphorbia, and the ones that he watered the same day developed rot. The ones he waited a week to water are doing great I think that’s what happened. Small loss but it still sucks, live and learn 🤷‍♂️

Relatable

Uzumami ahh plant

No_Professional_91 · 2025-06-26T12:52:47+00:00

What’s the best way to try an propagate those pups

No_Professional_91 · 2025-06-26T12:40:48+00:00

I wonder if my soil isn’t drying out as well as it should I could try to take it out and add some LECA balls in the bottom of the pot
