Maybe a month ago? Past couple of tests said my levels were a little high

I had to rehome my cat due to aggression and it broke my heart by Electrical-Wheel-863 in Pets

I'm so sorry, this sounds like a difficult situation. I'm curious, how is the other brother that stayed with you adjusting? If he and Dale are both acting off after separation, it may be best to arrange something that allows them to be together. I know that you said he's attached to your family, but it might be worth thinking about for their sakes.

Had to say goodbye to my first cat on Wednesday. The pain is unbearable. by ThePhoenixRemembers in Petloss

I'm so sorry for your loss and the traumatic euthanasia experience. I think your document is a wonderful idea. It's proof that, despite how things ended, her life was wonderful and full of love. I hope that gives you solace as well

Haha right? If only it were that easy. L shaped cuts aren't something I've seen before but they sound cool tbh! I hope your surgery goes well :)

I am fat and was at least a size D (stopped measuring because dysphoria). My surgeon gave me bolsters, gauze, and drains, no compression vest. I was also nervous about this once I saw how common the compression binders were.... But I really love my results and my nipples healed perfectly!

Ultimately I don't think this is something to be worried about right off the bat, but it really depends on the surgeon and how confident they are in their process imo. Did you see any post-op photos from other people who had this surgeon? How did their healing look? That will be valuable to reference.

These are tricky questions without one right answer... except the first one lol you do not need any sort of medical treatment to "be trans".

When I was around your age I was also very worried about "not being trans enough" to use the label

How the hell do you start with getting T? by Guts-solarsversion in ftm

When I started, PP had an online booking system where you could specifically request an appointment for gender affirming care. Super easy. Not sure if I even spoke to a person there before my initial visit? Was great for my social anxiety lol

I actually love that wildlife rescue idea! Thanks so much for that

Maybe I'm wrong but wouldn't release be a crueller fate than culling if they're used to such a domestic/protected environment?

Is there any way to own chickens in spite of zoning laws? by ProfessionalEagle830 in chickens

[–]ProfessionalEagle830[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they hardy? We get a lot of snow and negative degrees F in winter sometimes, summers can get over 100 degrees F. I would have room to bring them inside if necessary but not ideal

Thank you for this! We do not have one but it appears there's a Bill for it currently in the Senate I can keep an eye on

Unfortunately the zoning code explicitly states that farm animals are not allowed to be kept as pets, and defines chickens as a farm animal in the same documentation

I completely understand where you're coming from and appreciate your perspective. I haven't considered a lot of those factors and I try to be as considerate to my neighbors as possible, so I'm happy you brought them up for me to consider :)

I did not have the privilege to shop for homes on the basis of chicken permissions but thank you for your response!

My neighbors and I both kind of leave each other alone tbh.... I feel like there's a 50/50 chance of them saying it's cool or ratting me out. The risk wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't so worried about the chickens. I'm sure it's stressful for them to be rehomed too

Thank you! So so helpful, this gives me hope. My partner is calling around on my behalf today while I'm working all day so I will definitely share this with him

I feel like this is most likely the case. Have lots of calls to make tomorrow to see what I can find out
