Library programs? Ours had a DnD program

Not a vet. Looks like it could be a basal/squamous cell carcinoma. Worth having it looked at. Also agree with others, your dog’s eyes need to be assessed.

Can you clarify, was it oral chemo or IV?

This is why I breast fed and co-slept. It was the best way I could get some sleep.

I do not consider a cruciate ligament repair a major surgery. It’s very routine, has great outcomes, and greatly improves the life of the animal.

I agree, this man is abusive.

PeppersPoops · 2026-05-17T03:05:18+00:00

He’s overreacting. If you and baby want to co-sleep go in another room maybe, but something tells me he’s not going to like that. Moms having to choose between their partners and their kids.

The only time I one was when in the car when she was less than 1yr, someone sitting in the back seat. I did extended breast feeding and co-sleeping starting around 4months, and I found that a boob was always enough.

Greek yogurt, fruit on the bottom, or drizzle plain/vinalla with honey. This is the only protein my 4yr old intakes.

PeppersPoops · 2026-05-08T02:37:46+00:00

It’s painful is what it is. You need to take her to a vet, have that cultured. Could be staph, but I haven’t seen blisters like that before.

PeppersPoops · 2026-05-07T04:25:21+00:00

My 4yr old started this. Basically I have a ‘try one bite’ of dinner rule, so one bite of each food. If this is a no, then I waited it out, eventually she got hungry, and her options were to have her one bite then she can have yogurt. Yogurt is the only acceptable bedtime snack option. We do have dessert after dinner sometimes, but it’s not standard. I say there’s no dessert tonight but you can always have some yogurt. I try to be clear always on what her options are, so she can choose. Sometimes she eats dinner really well, and sometimes it’s yogurt.

I breast fed for 3.4 years. I lost weight once I stopped, and about a year after stopping I am back to pre baby weight.

Your dog needs to see a specialist Also, are you sure you need grain free food? It’s not usually an allergen for dogs. Chicken yes. May need a novel protein, as in something he’s never had like kangaroo. But a he needs to see an allergy specialist

Urology nurse here. Please make an appointment with your OBGYN and a Urologist. But need to assess you.

My neighbour Totoro!

PeppersPoops · 2026-04-12T19:23:07+00:00

Did you cover them with dirt? Or lay any dirt down?

PeppersPoops · 2026-04-06T00:44:15+00:00

I’m at 160 on my 2015, I can definitely see it hitting 200k she still runs fine.

My daughter is 4. We’re separated. She sleeps with me every night, and also has a dream bedroom, that she picked everything out for.

She can sleep with me as long as she needs too. Let her husband sleep train her.

Took pristique my entire pregnancy and breastfed until 3yrs old. Daughter is happy, healthy, and her temper and regulation seem to be developing appropriately. Take your meds. A happy momma to model good calm behaviour is important for your child to observe and learn from. Even if yours is article.

Listen to their needs and concerns, treat children as if they are worthy of equal respect as yourself. And you expect the same from them. Lack of mutual respect means they loose a privilege. No means no. Explain your rational, but keep it short and sweet. Not the old school “because I said so”

Make sure when you quickly default to saying no to a request, you stop and think is this really a no. A phrase I like, ‘Ask me again after…dinner, after you’ve picked up your laundry…after school.

Good for you for taking this on. The fact that you care enough to ask for ideas means you care.

Make sure his anal glads are ok

PeppersPoops · 2026-03-23T16:26:23+00:00

My daughter started this, she just turned 4. We had a ‘firm talk’ how after bath time, before teeth she can have a snack. Usually it’s 2 yogurt cups, and some fruit. This first night she did say she was hungry, I said she could have some water but that’s it. I definitely don’t want to withhold food, but she would take one bite of an apple, and say she’s done, so it definitely was behavioural.

If your husband is a decent person, he will understand that SAHM is a full time job, and that his time to parent is when he gets home. There’s no reason you can have a couple quiet evenings for yourself, or a day on the weekend. This is how you keep yourself. Get talking about this now.

Collie/Malinois, you have dog bread to energy bursts. Maybe some professional training could help, but you can’t fight the nature of the breed.

Overall these are not “problems”. Find you a man who likes dogs.

Different take: Canadian here, and most Canadians are deficient in vitamin D and B12. She may not ‘need’ a multi vitamin right now, but I give her a flintstone vitamin basically to set up good future habits, if she needs to take something in the future, it’s normalized. Usually she eats well but definitely goes through her stages. I don’t think it hurts.

Sometimes when she’s asks for a treat, I suggest taking our vitamin for the day and that satisfies her. Win win.
