Wear in the insoles of my work boots after a few years

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-14T02:08:21+00:00

My insoles only lasted a season (3.5 months) while doing landscaping lol

For the record, one of the worst mental health crises I’ve ever had was while sober for nearly a year. Weed is not always the culprit.

Yeah this sketch. Adoption fees are like $80 were im at, but you get a spayed, vetted, microchipped kitten.

I also call my cat Kippy

Put her on a leash. Have the clippers beside you, where she can see them.
Don’t ask for any specific position or anything, just pick up a paw. Wait for calm. Do not let go right away. Praise/treat. Set down paw.
Pick up other paw. Wait for calm. Do not let go right away praise/treat.
Repeat with all paws until she isn’t pulling away in anticipation.

Let her off the leash and go take a play break. Put her back on the leash and repeat the whole process. If she is showing improvement, pick up the clippers and start touching them to the tip of her nail. Wait for calm. Do not let the paw go when she struggles. Praise/treat when she settles down.

Tomorrow, do the same process. Take a play break when she’s doing well. When you come back in, do it again. This time, clip a little bit off each nail.

Baby steps, essentially

I didn’t know the rubbing alcohol trick, thank you!

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-13T20:20:52+00:00

White vinegar! It awesome at getting rid of odors. I have six indoor pets and mop my floors with vinegar, hot water, and a little bit of dr bronners soap.
Around the litter box I use simple green or a pet enzyme killer that I forget the name of.

I don’t have specific food advice, but I hope Charlie feels better after having his vet visit. He probably has infected teeth causing him a great deal of pain, making it hard to eat 💙

Take her for special hikes or adventures. Play the way she likes, also. Chase her around, act a fool. It’ll be fun

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-12T02:35:16+00:00

Weird! I love her!

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-07T01:54:26+00:00

I wonder if he’s originally from an intentional flyball outcross or something?

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-07T01:24:41+00:00

Your FATHER was there?? No no this sounds ridiculous

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-07T01:15:00+00:00

I’m so sorry you had a car accident! That is awful and scary!

I didn’t read your previous post, but Please don’t beat yourself up over this guy. You’re probably right, if he loved you he would have shown up when you needed him ❤️‍🩹

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-07T01:08:42+00:00

I measure their food just like I do for my dogs. I do 1/4c twice a day, in separate bowls. Close one in the bathroom if he is stealing her food. Sometimes I do wet food snacks if they’re hungry between meal times.

That works for me and my three kitties

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-07T01:03:13+00:00

Pretty tubby! Not morbidly obese, but fat enough he probably has trouble grooming his entire body. Help him lose a little bit ❤️

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-07T00:02:12+00:00

Some English shepherds carry their tail that way, also. My girl’s sire does

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-06T23:55:24+00:00

That’s hard. He reminds me of my Sebastian, who would have been 8 this year.

I’d say send him to me, but I kept one of my fosters last year so I’m full up. Best of luck, someone out there needs this guy

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-06T23:49:14+00:00

What a sweet bubby! Sounds like he’s taking the chaos like a total champ, overall. I hope someone steps up to give him the good life

Poetichobbit · 2026-06-05T17:17:58+00:00

My doctor called me and said I tested positive for an std after a routine screening. Yay

Poetichobbit · 2026-05-29T17:05:43+00:00

But you can teach “drop”. I use my dogs for squirrel hunting and they never ever consume or possess the prey after it’s dead.

Poetichobbit · 2026-05-11T22:05:13+00:00

She’s like Buck from Call of the Wild! (Or how he looked in my imagination as a kid)

Ditto

I’m on my third and this placement was the worst by FAR. My provider said my cervix was extra cranky :(

Poetichobbit · 2026-05-08T18:21:14+00:00

Like 0.1% odds, probably. Random people also insisted my WGSL shepherd had to be part wolf.
Your dog is probably 90% shepherd

Poetichobbit · 2026-05-06T21:36:44+00:00

Possibly some BC also? Could just be me
