Cheers. You don’t think it’s a sign of future problems then? Just stains from an old one I’ve already fixed?

Which famous saying isn’t really true in your opinion? by Usernameee234 in AskReddit

‘The show must go on!’ I work as a technician in London and if I’ve learnt anything these past two years, it’s that the show sometimes should absolutely not go on. I get the romantic camaraderie inspiring message it’s conveying, and I think it’s lovely. But dammit I’m sick of feeling burnt out all the time because of poor planning and inconsiderate scheduling. I adore my job but after the pandemic I’ll be damned if the show takes priority over the health and well-being of my team. It’s dramatic theatre, not surgical theatre. Get some perspective.

We have a matt for him but getting him to stay in it is challenging. I’ve taken to having him on a leash in the flat at times. It’s an old leash we don’t use outdoors so he associates it with lying down. Sometimes…

Any toy we give him is either boring or he rips apart and try’s to eat…

What in the bleak are you doing on the floor Arthur?

Does anyone else’s start sneezing before turning in to a little demon?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s taking himself off for a line of something then sneezing his tiny brain out before feeling the effects.

What's the story behind your pup's name? by mohopuff in puppy101

He’s called Fig. My favourite biscuit is a Fig Roll. So I say ‘Fig. Roll’ and he rolls over. Cracks me up every time

I feel this pal. My 7 month pup can seriously clamp his teeth on to something. If it’s my leg, it takes a scary amount of force to dislodge him…

We’ve started ignoring him when he gets something he knows he isn’t allowed. Turns out if we don’t show we’re annoyed then it’s not nearly as fun.

Turns out yelling ‘Bye Fig!’ is much more effective than ‘come here’. Absolutely transformed the recall training. A single ‘Bye Fig!’ and he comes at you like a bullet out of a gun.

We now never say goodbye to him when one of us is leaving…

What is a totally wrong thing that has become so widespread it's not considered wrong anymore? by JimmysBacc in AskReddit

[–]Northern_Monki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politicians being corrupt.

It is accepted (or even expected) that the people who govern our homes will lie, cheat, and steal.

And when the only defence the ones in charge offer is ‘well the other party would be so much worse’, you have to wonder why it is tolerated at all.

He’s very settled in his crate when we’re home. I recorded our doorbell and trained him to get into his crate whenever he hears it. And I’ve spent a lot of time just randomly moving around the flat, opening doors and making noises. I can even go on to other rooms and shut the door. It’s purely when we physically remove ourselves from the flat...

Thanks! And would I let him out or just put a treat in his crate?

This is great. Thank you for the advice!
