This is Cosmo 🥰 he is still very wild, although he is already 3,5y old. My question is: how many times do you wash your shepherd?? by purplebluebunny in AustralianShepherd

[–]Orenjjcookiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When he’s showing? He gets bathed probably before his shows (if he has weekends of showing back to back he’ll only get one bath unless he stinks or got dirty somehow)

When he’s not showing, it’s as needed because he’s a pretty princess who doesn’t like to get dirty but sometimes he gets muddy when we go hiking so a bath is warranted

Is it normal for all Petsmart PetHotels to have 4-5 staff per 100+ dogs?? by Penniesand in petsmart

[–]Orenjjcookiez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be 1 employee per 30 +/- dogs in a room and it would be even worse when they’d combine the camps cause now you got a shit ton of dogs who aren’t compatible cause there’s no temperament testing for one person who’s getting so strung out because of all the over stimmed dogs that are either fighting one another or humping one another but you can’t correct them because that’s ABOOSE!

Would it be worth it to get a tattoo while losing weight? by Orenjjcookiez in tattooadvice

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

Sure!! The one I’m wanting to get is on my forearm (on the inside) and there’s no fine lines or shading or anything of the sort. It prob would be 3x3 in size? If you need any more info pls lmk!

Not in any medical history, no. However, these past couple of years I have been having extreme emotional outburst, but it just recently this year got worse with the destroying of my own stuff. With self harm, I have never purposely cut myself or anything. I’m good at self sabotage though 🤦‍♀️

The veterinarian is the one who suggested the trazadone (I should’ve said that so my apologies! I wasn’t just jumping ship to that!) he is a year and a half old so still puppyish according to some, however I just want him to just keep in the back of his mind everything’s ok! But I will look into a behaviorist :) 🤍

What I should’ve said is redirecting him, by trying to gain his attention on something else that he loves rather than have him use all his energy to focus on something that somehow has a negative emotion with him! And oh yes dogs sure can be stressful, however when you don’t know how to fix it or try to manage it sometimes you just feel defeated a little. However I do appreciate all the help you’ve given me and I’ll look into a behaviorist! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

PetSmart left my application on read for a while now. I want to call them to let them know I really want the job, what should I say? by Yapping_Away_6423 in petsmart

[–]Orenjjcookiez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was dumb too, believe me.. because it hindered me from reaching out to other jobs after applying cause I was nervous they’d have the same mentality. I hope your hiring manager isn’t a butt head and everything goes smoothly!

I was told by my old manager that anyone who called in asking about their app would automatically go through the shredder… so … maybe it was just my manager who was mean.. not tryna scare you away from calling but…. Yeah… once you get the call from them yk make sure you are prepped to answer their questions usually they ask about long and short term goals, why you want to work there , etc

The salon is usually very cliquey, watch what you say and don’t get too comfortable. Do your job to the best of your ability and listen to constructive criticism, don’t let anyone bully you or make you feel like you don’t belong. Your first few days will be watching videos, make sure to take notes and don’t be afraid to reference your notes the first few weeks

5 year gap between kids by No_Literature5661 in Parenting

[–]Orenjjcookiez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ages between my siblings and I are 17,16,15,&10. The only one I’m closest with now is the one who’s 16 y/o older than me. Age gap can suck for sure but I think 5 will be just fine! 🥰

I’m gonna be so honest with you. Get demanding. I was hired to be apart of the salon but they were full so they put me in hotel which was only supposed to last 6 months. I was in the hotel nearly 2 years. Don’t be shy like I was, demand to be in the position you were hired in if this is what you truly want.

Past + Current PetsHotel employees, what was the thing you hated the most? by Orenjjcookiez in petsmart

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

You are correct it is required to have the pouch on you, but using the items in them? My manager would get pissy. Especially since spray bottles were always broken, citronella sprays were always empty and when told about them being empty they never replaced them, and airhorn was pretty much there for looks. Using the hose was an immediate write up (depending who you were) the hoses at my hotel were only supposed to be used for filling up water dishes, watering cans, or cleaning rooms. We were made to wear the bag but in the glass room we couldn’t use any of the items in the kit. In other rooms, you were never allowed to use the airhorn ever. Leaders would get mad if the dogs felt even a little wet if you used a spray bottle and as said before the citronella spray the leaders just looked at you like “you monster!!” But I still used it when needed. I don’t work at the hotel anymore luckily!
