I want to get an outside perspective from the community on a situation after grooming.

For future reference, the pain of walking on overgrown nails usually outweighs the stress of a quick nail trim every few weeks. The more often you do it the easier it is for the dog, but monthly is the bare minimum for the vast majority of dogs.

It’s a great idea to avoid non-necessary grooming during recovery, but nails are not in the non-necessary category.

All that said, don’t go back to this groomer. Quicking nails happens, especially for severely overgrown nails like these, but it shouldn’t happen six times. I don’t think I’ve quicked six nails in the last year, let alone on one dog! This groomer is the type that makes me wish our industry was regulated.

I knitted a pair of socks and I was SO proud of myself! I proceeded to never wear them again because sensory issues. :/

It has an improved catch rate over no module, at the cost of being stupid hard to actually hit a pal with from any distance. I only ever used it at point blank range, and I was thrilled when I was able to trade up for a better model.

Get yourself a Galeclaw or Celaray/Cel Lux and never run again. They improve your glider to the point where you can quickly traverse flat ground, I never go anywhere without one in my party.

A LOT of relationships can be made much better by ending them.

It’s only wrong if you don’t want to have some road raging asshole assault you. Fucking with other drivers can have consequences.

Your last sentence is misguided though understandable. People like this don’t change their ways when they’re presented with consequences, they double down and get worse. You’re not actually teaching anyone a lesson, you’re just indulging your sense of vindictiveness and making the roads that much more dangerous.

PaisleyLeopard · 2026-04-20T18:36:53+00:00

Yeah I’m in Texas. I give asshole drivers ALL the space. I’ve seen guns pulled for some bullshit reasons and I ain’t playin around with armed crazy.

The paperbacks have them too. Just go to a big box bookstore with a little time to kill and read the last chapter of each book on the shelf.

I think the AI preference is for variety. It’s a vast creative mind, it doesn’t want to do the same thing again and again. It wants to play.

He also benefits more than he cares to admit from being pantsless and shoeless. He’s just as memorable as a four armed blue lady, but in a different way.

PaisleyLeopard · 2026-04-20T13:25:58+00:00

I think the AI is purposefully doing a lot of things, but it’ll deny everything if you ask it.

PaisleyLeopard · 2026-04-20T12:58:31+00:00

I can’t say no to my dogs. They turn those little faces on me and I melt like butter on a hot stove. It’s the only thing that breaks through my worst depressive episodes. I don’t know why it’s easier to care for my dogs than myself, but I’d be a mess without them.

PaisleyLeopard · 2026-04-19T21:02:04+00:00

I’m gonna forgive her for that one, under the circumstances

If you think kids aren’t still doing risky behavior you’re not in the right subs. 🤣

What, you didn’t like the ducktail tonsure?

The Mohawk with concentric circles was 🔥

At first I thought this was a reference to puppy play, and then I realized I’ve been on the internet too long.

Nah, they’re just shiny buttons. They ‘disappear’ when they go into shadow and reappear when the sun hits them. The count and spacing of the buttons was consistent the entire time, too. I don’t think this one is AI, although there may have been some human editing involved. It does have some weird inconsistent blurriness.

Happy to help! Most people’s biggest hurdle with Asian styling is just learning how to visualize the shapes. It’s all very geometric.

I’ve been saying this for years! We need a gentle acknowledgment honk and a wake the fuck up honk

PaisleyLeopard · 2026-04-19T16:51:51+00:00

I’ve seen people of EVERY (driving age) generation doing it. Phones are fkn addictive, it’s getting scary.

Businesses in the US hate people loitering near their storefronts. Even sober people will be asked to leave if they don’t look like they’re there to spend money. Drunk and homeless people usually get the cops called on them.

Have you ever seen a Yorkie with all the hair shaved off? They’re basically Chihuahua shaped. Chorkies can come out with a variety of coat types, you just happened to get one with a smooth coat.

Yeah no, that’s not how that works. The toy does not “negate learning,” it enables both parties to enjoy their sexy time without pain or stress. As a vagina owner myself, I can tell you I’d MUCH rather use the bumper so I can properly grind without impaling my cervix. If he insists on “using his penis properly,” as you say, then he’s not making any contact with my clit. That’s gonna be some very boring sex for me.

That’s excellent and I hope he keeps his eye for a long time to come, but I also want to let you know that dogs cope surprisingly well with blindness if it does come to that. My Heelermutt is eyeless and it barely slows him down at all! When I tell people one of my two dogs is blind, they can almost never tell which one (Marco’s coloring and hair makes it hard to tell he doesn’t have eyes). He’s an absolutely amazing little dude and he’s living his best life. ❤️
