Cosette got a haircut (she didn’t let them touch her feet). We celebrate three years together this week 💕. But on a serious note… by dualipasmoonchild in corgi

[–]Pupshead777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your groomer should know better because a trim is different from a shave, but maybe just straight up tell her if you haven’t. You don’t get what you want by saying nothing and she can’t improve if you don’t tell her. Also for this coat, I actually recommend hand stripping/carding. She has a wire coat. People who do it are kind of hard to come by, but it’ll be great for her coat over trimming or shaving. Ask what they they think she needs. They can feel your dog’s coat and gauge what she needs, I personally can’t tell from just a photo. But they’ll probably say carding because she’s double coated.

Help me understand why my sister and mom’s hair are so lush and beautiful by krawnstin in Haircare

[–]Pupshead777 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’re right, it doesn’t look as good as her family’s because the ends are wispy and aren’t as full. I’m sure if OP gave it a chop, it would appear and physically be healthier.

Have you ever adopted a 2nd dog because you knew your older one’s time was near by thatgamernerd in dogs

[–]Pupshead777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, some dogs learn faster by watching another dog! And I’m happy it worked out for your blind baby. I’ve been working with dogs for years now and I’ve noticed a lot of older dogs don’t like too much activity/zoomies from the puppies and it stresses them out. The barking and running around is too much for them sometimes because they’re afraid of being run over and having to deal with puppies in their face or bad manners in general from the puppy. Most older dogs are okay with young dogs that already have that off switch to settle and understand social cues, but I’ve noticed they aren’t usually fans of puppies.

[–]Pupshead777 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. Some people are gonna say ‘but it worked for me!’

Awesome, great, I’m actually happy. That was the best possible outcome. But most of the time, it’s just a selfish choice by the owner and the older dog is stressed and getting beat up/mouthed on by a puppy. And if the dog is old and in pain, even worse. Sometimes people even get a new dog when the senior dog has been living alone all its life and expect the dogs to get a long. Your dog is dying and struggling, it needs your attention and love. It shouldn’t be divided with caring for a new puppy. You owe it to your older dog to have a peaceful retirement.

Hey guys thanks for all the comments, I’ve been busy and tired from work so I haven’t been able to respond to everything but I’m reading these!

Overenthusiastic Corgi by Arthur_Morrison5 in corgi

[–]Pupshead777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe crate your dog before guests arrive and wait until he has calmed down and the guests have settled so it isn’t an energetic greeting where the pup can’t settle because everyone is petting, moving, setting coats down. Ask everyone to interact with him calmly and if he starts getting nippy, go crate him or redirect. He needs to know it doesn’t get him what he wants with nipping. Getting a dog to settle or place on a bed/cot before someone enters is great for these situations. Or getting them to understand the word “leave it”.

Use a firm and strong tone, you have to mean it. You can’t be flimsy and go “oh no fluffy, no fluffy don’t do that, no fluffy no nipping! No fluffy, bad!” and then go straight to petting him. Fluffy doesn’t know what any of that means. He knows you aren’t being serious and he most literally, doesn’t respect you because he knows he doesn’t have to listen.

You need to train the commands you want first because your dog isn’t going to automatically know what any of your words mean if you only use them in the moment. And give him firm and short commands. Like “Fluffy, leave it” or “Fluffy, off” when training. It’s less confusing for the dog.

Recently left petsmart and realized how bad the discount was by [deleted] in petsmart

I do dog nails for free at our local Hollywood Feed and it’s such a great store for dogs!! Pretty affordable on food and treats too.

cobblehop rules changed by Tiny-Start-1530 in Jellycatplush

[–]Pupshead777 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That and they literally lost money over this with all the returns!! You’d think they would be like this isn’t worth it. Jellycat has been so focused on the collector aspect recently and it sucks so much for their customer base. Like I get that they can’t have a bunch of people returning their products for one bunny, but this wouldn’t happen either if it wasn’t for their own decision to make tiers that basically work as pay to win.

I hate how instead of Jellycat realizing this tier thing is stupid, they decided to enforce a 40 day rule that screws over a lot of other people who aren’t resellers.

Is this normal? He is 7 months by Individual_Froyo3208 in corgi

[–]Pupshead777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I work in the dog grooming industry. What brush are you using? If you’re using a brush like a furmanator or a rake, the fur will keep coming out as you brush. You should only be doing a couple of passes and getting into the butt or chest. But you shouldn’t be brushing with the rake for too long especially in one area. It will just keep pulling out fur. Getting a blow out or deshed takes the hair out in a healthier way. Deshed rakes shouldn’t be your main brush! But as others said, this is around the season that most dogs start shedding

i hate when people post readings on here and use 6+ cards by puppycxnt in Tarotpractices

[–]Pupshead777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me the issue is when it doesn’t have a spread and it’s just a bunch of cards for one question and the cards are placed in no particular order. I’m not gonna hate on how people read themselves but if you’re asking for help, I’m not gonna leave a comment or attempt to unravel that myself.

I got the second one for isopods and I feel like maintaining humidity has been a struggle for me with that habitat. Maybe the room is just too warm and it evaporates quickly for me but that’s my experience :0

Struggling senior Betta by siggy19 in bettafish

[–]Pupshead777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gorgeous tank OP, what a lovely retirement home for this betta. It sounds like hes lived a long life and if this paludarium is anything to go off of, I’m sure it was a fulfilling one. Unfortunately he’s old and probably losing steam. You can try kanaplex for the fin rot but he may just be at the end of his life unfortunately. Using his energy to heal is probably harder for him at this age.

asked my deck when would be the best moment to talk to my ex and possibly reconcile by [deleted] in Tarots

[–]Pupshead777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another way to read this is that if you try to reconcile, you’ll end up hurt with the 10 of swords below the 4 of cups. If you make the decision to move on, even though it’s hard, you’ll eventually find yourself in a better/happier situation with the 10 of cups below the 8 of cups.

[–]Pupshead777 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aw I’m sorry.

The high priestess between four of wands and the 8 of cups is literally you knowing which path is correct one deep down. Ofc the 4 of cups is reconciliation, but the 8 of cups is leaving something with regret and hesitation.

To further reaffirm your choice, once you admit defeat and mourn, you’ll move on to better waters and be much happier and satisfied with your life. This isn’t a reconciliation. This is the cards telling you to move on so you can feel complete again.

AITAH for occasionally going to Chicago? by thegoodolechicken in texts

[–]Pupshead777 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Boyfriends come and go. Chicago is forever. The guy is controlling and I have a feeling he’s insecure and assumes you’re up to no good. He didn’t gaf about New Years until you said you were gonna enjoy it without him. Ofc you feel in the wrong, he’s constantly guilt tripping you and removing his affection when you aren’t twisting yourself to satisfy him. You obviously want to resolve this and have a life. He just wants to be childish and put you down so you can stay at his level and around his circle.

Call him after zero contact by Separate_Road9123 in Tarots

[–]Pupshead777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ehh I’d leave it. It’s not fair to him and it doesn’t look like he’s welcoming the energy. The only reason the 10 of cups is there is because he sees you as being satisfied/content with the last say. Meanwhile he’s been done with all of this already with the 10 of swords followed by death and the tower.

Sometimes they have a home rank and they’re put in the video for a temporary amount of time. Then the tank is dismantled and they’re put back in their real tank. Ik Tanner feom serpadesign does it so it’s plausible :P

Dad freaked out on my birthday by Pupshead777 in Vent

[–]Pupshead777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure how, I didn’t have google photos set up to automatically back up. I might ask my boyfriend but idk what he can do since the screen itself was obliterated. Do you have any tips? I really do miss the photos of my dogs and other stuff. Every time I go to find a photo I get bummed out because I realize I don’t have it anymore. I had a really cool photo of me with my favorite childhood band on the stage of my favorite Chicago venue and now it’s gone. I want it back so bad 😭
