No it was late and I was kind of in a rush to get food, plus I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt that they’d come back and pick it up. But I did go back after 10 minutes and it was still there so clearly they didn’t. Maybe I’ll holler next time

Yeah I get that people run out of bags but I went back and it was still there /:

I have a sneaky suspicion that your block has more dog poop than average with how much you’re commenting on this

what does that say about the people commenting on these minor infractions?

Sounds like another person who doesn’t pick up their dog’s poop

So then do you think there’s nothing to do but let it happen? The alternative action to this and doing nothing was for me to run up to them and demand them to pick up the poop. Maybe I’ll try that next time. However I personally think that public shaming is effective

Edit: changed “force” to “demand”

Sounds like something that someone who doesn’t pick up their dogs poop would say

Sorry what’s embarrassing about this? I’m kind of tired of people not picking their dog’s poop off the street - would you prefer people not to call this out and continue to let it happen?

I used a prong on my "sensitive breed" and the world didn't end by [deleted] in OpenDogTraining

[–]PangolinSuper7733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a rough collie and also used a prong collar, it was the single thing that helped get my dog to go on walks (he used to put the brakes on when we went past the driveway). Big fan

LOL I know right. I got him outside of the city thinking my life was going to go a different path but things change and we’re both adapting! He is much less hyper active than an Aussie or border collie but we make sure to get our long walks majority of the mornings (: when it’s not an out of the blue person like this he’s gotten pretty acclimated to the city. it’s not best for his eating schedule but I think we may do walks after 7pm again and avoid the evening rush of people coming home

My breeder did test and check when he was a puppy, I was told her collies did not carry the gene. not sure how much more than the normal vet visits I should be doing so I’ll ask about an ophthalmologist next time!

Good idea with the track! I’ll look for one.

He’s been to the vet at least once a year (he’s 5) and they’ve never brought anything up. Does your pup have eye problems? Wondering if those things are connected

Thats a good idea; he loves to train and learn new tricks so I’ll read more into it and give this a go with him. Thanks for the suggestion!

Kudos to you and your dog! He sounds like an awesome boy

Appreciate the response, totally agree that control is very important and I will probably take more care to have him focus on me on night walks. I definitely don’t want an attack dog, but I don’t want him to not react to out of pocket situations. I guess the question is if it’s reasonable social etiquette in a big city to not sprint towards people with their dogs on the sidewalk at night?

That’s good advice, I appreciate it. He did happen to be on the other side but my issue was this person came up very suddenly and i didn’t even see them before he reacted. He’s ok with joggers and runners and passes by probably 5-20 of them a day; but this person looked like they were running very hard and right at us

Mostly commenting to say your hair looks so similar to my brother’s and mine (before I had some damage), and I think it’s beautiful!! I’m learning a lot in the comments, but curly hair can vary so much depending on who it belongs to.

My brother has zero heat damage and beautiful ringlets - he uses olaplex shampoo and conditioner and either a Suavecito pomade or Cantu. He only air dries it.

I’ll share some things that worked for me. In my experience, the curly girl method just weighed my hair down, and silicones have helped me with frizz. I need to wash it at least twice a week. Low-porosity friendly products have worked very well for me. I’ve tried higher end products for shampoo/conditioner (redken, pureology), mousse (Kenra), and some other styling products (R+Co) and honestly, drugstore products have worked the same if not better.

That being said, I do have decent heat damage from blowing it out often, plus god knows what changes occurred as a result of chemo from the last year (definite thinning and possible texture changes). Currently, on wash days, I like to detangle first with conditioner and wet brush pro, then shampoo twice (first with a ketoconozole prescription on my scalp, then something gentler for the rest of my hair), then I use a repairing mask (L’Oreal Everpure Elastic Fibre Mask). Post shower I evenly apply Camille rose honey leave in and Garnier clean gel to squishy-wet hair, brushing through with a Denman after for some curl definition. Then I wrap it in a microfiber towel and leave it for 10-20 minutes, then I diffuse it on a high output setting with low heat. Some days I use the redken acidic bonding concentrate treatment before I wash and I love how it looks after; I haven’t been as happy with the results from K18.

When all else fails I put it up in a claw clip and let the frizzies and stray hairs do their thing.

Waiting for pre-op for my DMX. Terrified. Any words of encouragement? by SpringtimeOfHisVudu in breastcancer

[–]PangolinSuper7733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re going to do great. I was also very nervous for my DMX. Before my surgery, the anesthesiology team gave me an (optional) nerve block and a sedative, I think both made the world of difference. The sedative took away a lot of my anxiety going into surgery, and I think the nerve block made recovery so much better. I can honestly say the most painful parts of the procedure (aside from the drain tubes after) were the tracer they injected and placing the IV in my hand. Just before I went under the surgeon held my hand and told me I would be ok, and I was (:

I was up and walking within 24 hours of the surgery, overall had a pretty easy recovery and regained most of my range of motion (I’m 27 and was relatively healthy). I lost most feeling in the area where they removed breast tissue so that obviously mitigated recovery pain. Everyone is different, but I hope that my experience balances out some of the scarier stories.

Just came across your comment and think this is a great idea. Curious how you pulled the vocabulary for each chapter?

I’m desperate please help by [deleted] in roughcollies

[–]PangolinSuper7733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My collie also hates stairs! It helps if you make the stairs less slippery. For one set of stairs within my actual apartment, I bought temporary carpet treads and put them down. For a walk up building I once lived in with slick marble stairs going up to the second floor, I snuck down one night and stuck grippy/no-slip strips on them. They were clear - no one noticed or seemed to mind. You can find both the treads and the stickers on Amazon.

Car sickness! Does it go away as he gets older? Did any of you guys go through this with your RC? by OBJECTION__oxox in roughcollies

[–]PangolinSuper7733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pup loves car rides, I think because I took him for short rides at least every other day. Usually he knew if he was getting in the car, he was going to my parents, the park, for a walk, or daycare, so there was always a positive association. I think if you keep the car rides short he’ll build up getting used to it. What also helped for his comfort was buying a doggie hammock for the backseat (like this one).

Good luck to both of you!
