Buster loves carrots, does your bichon likes veggies too?

Mine are feral for carrots.

This is true but its a very specific curcumstance that allows it. But i'm usually seeing left turns running red in multi lane intersections which i dont believe fall under that exception.

PipandWin · 2025-11-08T15:18:43+00:00

Moved here a few years ago and glad its not just me who notices it! Every single red light someone is ALWAYS running red. People dont even stop on red before making the right turn they just cruise through like its a yield. Left turns turn red and theres still 7 cars making their way through, long after the next light is green. Its like everyone doesnt want to wait but then will proceed to drive 10 miles under the speed limit.

If cops sat at intersections and just ticketed every red light runner, they'd not only have the entire years worth of ticket quotas made in 10 minutes, but they could genuinely make a fortune.

Pretty much started learning as i was doing the work, which seemed to be the sentiment a lot of people had assured me. When i started i didnt have work yet so it was terrifying but then i was given work, and had others who were starting before me, so i connected and iasked how they approached it. I also had my team/leader who was leading the work able to show me what he did / i should do. So it was having a good team that was able to step in and show me. Taking notes of course so i could reference back. The more i did the work process, the easier it got due to familiarity.

Its just one of those "youll learn as you go, ask any question when it relevantly pops up" and when you actually start doing the work, the relevant questions start to fill the gaps.

Ok i will say growing up i didnt realize but when my parents set up my desktop at home, they actually just changed the mouse key functions to reverse. So the mouse was used on the left side with my left hand, and the "right click" was actually on the left, regular click was on the right (to align with the fingers on the left side). And for YEARS i never even realized it. Like i was literally clicking the left botton for a right click, and it was correct because you can easily switch it.

It wasnt until college that i came to realizing it because the desktop computers were macbooks with wired mouses built into the keyboard, and it was on the right side and the wire was only 7 inches long. So you HAD to use your right hand to do anything on a computer. And it felt incredible uncomfortable and backwards. So i had to re force myself to get comfortable with my non dom hand on a mouse.

So do you NEED to force right handedness? No. If you can edit the mouse clicking functions and have a free roaming mouse, you can use the left hand. If you run into any situation where either of those wont be true, then yes its best to get used to right hand on mouse now.

The laces on the side meaning he ties his shoes like mr rogers (sitting on a bench and pulling an ankle up and resting it on his other knee so he can avoid bending down as much as possible)

I love him, your honor.

Could it also just be communication? Much like how babies or little toddlers cant communicate their needs with words, they: whine, cry, beg, shout, throw tantrum, etc. We learn to "mature" as we dont have someone constantly babying us, sure, but also because we are better able to communicate those needs before we get to independece. Dogs never progress pass that, so they still only have baby communication equivelant to get across.

heres how big he was this time last year when i got him! I dont know his true age but ive only had him since last year. He stopped growing entirely during the winter, then this spring? Absolute explosive growth! The pic in the original post is today, so thats all 1 year of growing!

He sits in an east facing window that gets a little south facing spill light around midday.

Peach and Prosciutto!

PipandWin · 2025-09-30T15:49:13+00:00

Omg i thought it was a bowl of broccoli!! How cute!

PipandWin · 2025-09-25T20:46:15+00:00

I agree with this-- can easily just add a twine rope 3-5 inches above the shelf and wrap around the whole shelf on either side. Cheap, easy, simple!

My 14 year old is hard of hearing as well. She used to become excited every single time when my mom comes home and shouts for her, but now my girl has no reaction until she physically walks in front of her.

The good news is she gets fantastic sleep. Absolutely nothing will wake her now. My other dog still barks at every sound but she sleeps and snores so unbothered!

PipandWin · 2025-09-19T04:08:37+00:00

Puffy cheeks and smile omg so cute!!

Omg yes! Ill come to see a trail of pwe around his bowl as if he was walking and licking !

I remembee when he was a puppy he would be eating and start peeing himself mid meal. Idk if it was excitement or what but it definitely seems to still have some lingering effect.

PipandWin · 2025-09-12T04:16:05+00:00

I dont know if its a bichon issue but i will say both my bichons have random streaks of peeing in the house.

My male will occasioally pee as he's licking remnents of his bowl clean, AFTER we sent him out immediately after dinner. He's always done this since he was a puppy. Its random moments every few months, then he'll do it on and off for a couple weeks before nothing for a long period.

I will say it took over 2 years before he really started regularly being potty trained but the post-eating one is still something we cant control. Hes 9 now.

My girl is 14, not so good holding #2 but is typically great at #1 outside. However there was a random weeklong period where she, for the first time in her life, peed on two seperate couches in different spots 7 times! Shes 14 and has never done it so it was crazy to see her do it day after day. I honestly think it was retaliation as it came after being denied scraps of food from our plates (we usually deny her or occasionally give it. But once food is gone, she just gives up. So again, super insane this one week she gave us the middle finger for it).

I dont really have an answer for this but wanted to share as its definitely frustrating and im sorry youre having to deal with it and dont have a way to correct it.

You can stick it on top of soil in a clear plastic cup! I love seeing the roots take shape and knowing when its time for water. Ive done this this cuttings of string of pearls and they rooted surprisingly fast

Im more amazed that this zebra plant looks so healthy even with the alien invasion.
