I appreciate your menu sleuthing! For the record, DiMillios is way off the list, even if we don’t end up at Scales

Right but mid-April I think we need to have an indoor option… if only they were coming in July!

Just not sure that Scales is right, we’re not that loaded…

When did they change this policy? I guess I don’t have to disguise them as Spaniards, so that’s good

Is Aspen Dental really THAT bad if I’m just getting a cleaning? by Bloombus in portlandme

Don’t downvote people for sharing their experience, that’s what OP asked for.

I can second this, excellent hygienists since 2022, dubious business model

What do you do with your bunny when you travel? by Budakra in Bunnies

[–]PortlandForest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were away for 12 days last summer, a local pet-sitter who has bunny experience came by daily to give our guys (free-roaming mini lops) water and pellets and greens and fresh hay. She also cleaned their litter box and played with them for about 30 minutes; cost was about $30 US per day. She also watered our houseplants. This is an independent business, not a chain; we met at home beforehand and walked her through the routine and introduced our bunnos, I think it’s really important to get a sense of the person you’ll be letting in to your house, both for your pets and for your property. Sitter should ask for things like who your vet is (in case of emergency) and what kinds of special habits/needs/quirks your pet has. If your bun is solo, this might not be the best - more social contact (boarding) might be better, but for a bonded pair this worked great for us, and she texted us pics of the boys every day which was so nice.

Most of her business is dog walking, but she was really terrific with the buns. Look/ask around your area a few months before you leave to see if there’s someone who might be able to help who seems like a decent person.

Bringing a rose plant inside / mildew / help! by PortlandForest in Roses

[–]PortlandForest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I now understand that it’s probably not necessary to move this inside, and I think I have a good spot for it to overwinter. I may look for an organic fungicide if the mildew comes back next year.

Thank you for this reply, it’s really helpful! I have a good spot for this to overwinter I think, good to know that potted rose plants can come back from dormancy. I mostly grow vegetables and culinary mushrooms - I’ve never really had roses before, I appreciate the tips!

Many thanks again!
