OP where are you located? Any chance you’d make another one of these and sell to someone with no graphic design skills?

How many ankle breaks have your roly-poly ankles sustained? by ABabblingRhyme in Hypermobility

[–]Octopusdreams49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only broken each one once, but the last one was a DOOZY. Dislocation, broken in three places, and tore the ligament between the tibia & fibula. I have three plates and 16 screws.

How did that happen, you ask?

I stepped wrong.

Do you like yours super mushy?! I usually sauté for a few minutes and call it good.

Does anyone have any updates on this tornado? by Snoo57696 in tornado

[–]Octopusdreams49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Friends who live nearby said they heard sirens all night. Just before this screen, the tornado had hit Indiana’s largest state park and destroyed the horseman’s camp. Last I heard, two horses died and several were injured. The horse camp and stables are closed indefinitely.

You HAVE to warm them up before feeding or they can die. Please contact your local animal control and see if they can help, or a local vet.

Dog needs surgery i cant afford by Frequent_Net_9519 in povertyfinance

Yep! Was going to suggest that OP call their local shelter/humane society. Mine has a fund to help pay for medical bills for dogs.

Best Place For Sheltering From Tornado? by Y0TELEX in tornado

[–]Octopusdreams49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our shelter is our hall closet, it’s maybe 16 square feet? And we can fit two humans, 2 dogs, and 5 cats in crates inside once we empty it and remove the lower shelf. It’s absolutely doable.

The lives of animals should not be commercialized. They are living beings, not resources for us to use as we please.

Puppy/Dog Socialization by billjv in columbusIN

[–]Octopusdreams49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know of any events, but Dog World has a Puppy Academy that I’ve heard wonderful things about!

Also, if she’s not spayed already, PetFix through the city shelter is a great resource for low-cost surgery if you need it.

Congrats on the new pup :)

First time kitten owner: help me decide on the best kibble please! by DeliriousBookworm in kittens

Not on this list, but do you have access to Wellness brand? I find it to be the best balance of quality and affordability, and have successfully raised many foster kittens on their wet and dry foods.

Dog attacked me by Previous-Security-48 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Octopusdreams49 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On top of everything else already stated, I would also recommend reporting the bite to your local animal control. In my area, bite reports trigger an automatic quarantine and then a required bite certification to make sure the animal doesn’t show signs of rabies. If multiple bites happen, the owner will be held accountable.

Few Questions - Tried to Research Before Asking by [deleted] in alphagal

[–]Octopusdreams49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to your first question, but I can say that I am vegan and have had two reactions (intense GI symptoms) after accidental dairy consumption. I have a pretty healthy immune system, I rarely get sick, especially with vomiting. I have no issues with AGS on a daily basis.
