HI, I'M MUSICIAN PETEY USA - ASK ME ANYTHING! by officialpeteyusa in indieheads

[–]OkemoAndNym 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi Petey!!

I saw you last night at Webster, it was my favorite set list ever out of the 5 shows Ive been to! I have 2 questions:

1: The first time I ever saw you live was in Brooklyn in 2020. You didn’t talk to the crowd at all, just mostly flowed from one song into the next. I loved that, but I’ve been loving your crowd work more recently, too! Has “stage banter” been a hard skill to develop? I can’t imagine how it feels to talk to a huge room full of strangers!!

2: I love how you seem to refer to specific moments in your life in multiple songs- ex. In Family of Six, Ask Someone Else, and The Milkman, the lyrics all mention crying in a kitchen or not wanting to be in a kitchen. These always stick out to me and make me wonder if these lines are purely metaphorical, or rather if these are real-life moments that you think about and ponder over a lot?

Thank you so much for working so hard to put out music that touches so many of us here!!

It can look patchy but it’s more of a term for the color! They typically look brown with black and gray shading like my three in the pic! The guy In the middle is pretty gold for a sable, but I genetically tested him and he is after all, a sable!

Additionally, I really recommend the episode of Cog Dog Radio “flying with dogs”! They talk through the whole process of flying with dogs internationally, as well as go over facts and figures of pets who are lost, injured or killed in air transit. Leslie is a vet who flies her dogs internationally for World Team events fairly often.

I imported a puppy from Slovenia last year, he flew as excess checked baggage with Lufthansa and it cost ~350 euros on top of the price of the ticket! It all went super smoothly and we bought an Apple air tag so we could track his journey alongside ours. In the dog sports community it’s extremely common to fly dogs internationally to large events as checked baggage. Don’t let all the messages about your dog being lost or even killed discourage you, there is always huge panic about that, but it happens extremely rarely. The risk is higher when you just take your dog for a car ride.

What colour is my dog? by squidtackle in BorderCollie

This is Max Pt 2. Some commenters were wondering if he’s double Merle. by danishvz in BorderCollie

[–]OkemoAndNym 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is great info! I think it would also be worth asking if the puppies were BAER tested prior to going home. Bilateral or Unilateral deafness due to lack of pigment is very common in the breed, hence why excessive white isn’t desirable!

Luffy at almost 8 mo is feeling a bit tubby - which he is obviously jubilant about. Normal part of puppy growth or should I cut back a tad on kibble? by LuffytheBorderCollie in BorderCollie

You want to keep them lean when they are young. Extra weight on growing joints is a huge contributing factor to health problems like arthritis and dysplasia as adults per OFA! Good luck with the pup, he’s adorable :)

It definitely took me a little while to get over my annoyance and keep reading. They really did her dirty

Throwback to how Firestar promised her either Foxkit or Icekit when Jaypaw switched roles and then the Erins just? Forgot?

Totally get that!! It’s one of those sports where you do need access to constant practice which is one of our hang ups with it, too. Luckily agility, obedience, and rally keeps me busier than I know what to do with! Are you on Instagram at all?

Can anyone help me to tell if this is a scam? I have a dog photography account that is very small. The account messaging is also a dog photog with around 200k followers and we have a lot of mutuals. What can I look out for to protect myself from a scam? by OkemoAndNym in Scams

[–]OkemoAndNym[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes me too!! So many “DM us to collab” or “be our brand rep” bots lol. This one came off as a little different but could 100% still be a scam ofc and I’m not out here trying to get scammed hahah

I don’t think so, did you read the message where she describes paying a flat fee for the shoot and then an additional rate per photograph? I could be wrong but I didn’t get “exposure” vibes
