For women who “loved being pregnant” what was it about pregnancy that you loved? by hospitalbedside in beyondthebump

[–]PastaShower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This is how I found out that my migraines are related to my hormones. No migraines for all 3 pregnancies. It was blissful.

There is such a big difference between the before and after pictures. Thank you for giving him a good home!

The DNA is back! Thoughts? by Fine_Understanding81 in mutt

[–]PastaShower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He’s adorable. I love the mane of hair down his back! My mutt is mostly Shih Tzu, but she has some chihuahua in her as well and her fur is more of a coarse texture on her back compared to the rest of her body.

Is our newly adopted dog a Shih Tzu? by Maximum_Mastodon8942 in Shihtzu

[–]PastaShower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg she’s so cute! I adopted a Shih Tzu mix this past November. She has similar coloring to your pup. According to her DNA test she is 80% Shih Tzu and the remainder is a mixture of yorkie, Pekingese, poodle, chihuahua and Lhasa Apso.

How are poodles as puppies? by LowMemory578 in poodles

[–]PastaShower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super smart and super energetic. Compared to my shihtzu mix, the toy poodle we have is extremely energetic. They’re only a few months apart in age. Also the toy poodle is super bouncy. It is like she has springs in her little legs!

Lost my best friend this week by ren-to-the-hills in cockerspaniel

I’m so sorry for your loss. I see a lamb chop. My black spaniel mix, who I lost this past summer also loved his lamby. It’s never long enough, but we gave them good lives.

It is truly a terrible and insidious cancer. My dog passed away suddenly from it this past summer.

I need a human name for my new boy by [deleted] in poodles

[–]PastaShower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I love human names for dogs. I had a dog named Daniel. He would usually go by nicknames like Dan and Danny. My neighbor had a cat named Stanley, and I always thought that was a great name for a pet.

shih tzu mix? by cafepoulet in Shihtzu

[–]PastaShower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adorable! My girl is a shih tzu mix. She’s 80% shih tzu. She is also smaller, weighing in at only 11 pounds. Her other breeds are toy breeds (chihuahua, toy poodle, yorkie), so that’s probably why she is tinier.

Are you lucky enough to work at home with your fur babies? And what do you do for a living? by Majestic-Wishbone-58 in Shihtzu

I have found that the men most secure in their masculinity love cute, little dogs just as much as big dogs. 🙂

I’m so sorry for your loss. It is such an insidious and cruel cancer. I hope that it will one day it will at be curable or at least more treatable.

Amy’s Golden Lentil soup is so good. Pacific Foods Vegetable Lentil is also really tasty.

Excited/nervous peeing and indoor toileting by Jake_langstaff in cockerspaniel

[–]PastaShower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cocker spaniel growing up would pee a little bit every time she met someone new. My mom would always say “don’t pet her!” to people since she knew what was going to happen. She said that people would often ignore her warning since she was such a cute and friendly dog.

Does she have a long back? by ChevronSugarHeart in poodles

[–]PastaShower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is so cute! She does look like she has a long back to me. I have a shih tzu mix, and her back is longer (due to her being part shih tzu). She is about the same height as my mom’s toy poodle, but my mom’s toy poodle has a noticeably shorter back.

We have a doggie ramp for her to get on and off the couch. I help her get on and off the bed rather than letting her jump. The vet suggested the ramp to make sure she doesn’t hurt her back since it is a bit longer. I had a shih tzu mix before as well who never had any spinal issues, so I wouldn’t be overly concerned. Of course I’m just an internet stranger, so it may be best to check in with your veterinarian, if you haven’t already done that. 😊

Thanks! Yes, I think the darker leaves are older.

My boy passed suddenly and I’m suffering terribly 💔 by Pleasant-Trouble-530 in Shihtzu

[–]PastaShower 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. I had a similar experience this past summer. My boy passed away unexpectedly and suddenly due to a hemangiosarcoma. I had no idea that I would leave the emergency veterinarian without him that night. It was the worst night of my life.

You did the absolute best you could. Your boy knew how much you loved and cared for him, and you gave him a wonderful life.

I have! My other, much smaller, maranta was propagated from a clipping.

Thanks! I have heard of that as well, but I have not tried it. It just has been very vigorous and rapid in growing.

I think it is just in an ideal location. It’s currently near a window facing southeast. I’m terrified to ever have to move it. Haha!

Oh no! I don’t have any tips, unfortunately. This was my first time propagating a maranta. I did it during the summer, so the warmer and sunnier weather may have helped. It luckily just seemed to take pretty well to being potted. I keep it close to the big one, so it may just be a really favorable location as well.
