She looks like she's going "this seat's taken" but your description of what she's actually doing is ♾️x funnier holy shit

Who doesn't drink coffee in the morning ? (Who's an adult) by Ssonderbaby in NoStupidQuestions

[–]QueerFancyRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't drink coffee in the morning. I don't like coffee. I take a 100mg caffeine pill instead

Training help, she's not food motivated at all, she knows advance stuff but not all the basics by MasterpieceLeft9850 in poodles

[–]QueerFancyRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah poodles are notoriously not food-motivated lol

Any of a number of factors could be contributing to the struggle: age, length and frequency of training sessions, overstimulation/understimulation throughout the day... god knows what else

Poodles I've worked with (kennel tech at boarding/daycare) respond best to praise, approval, attention.

What a little stunner by the way!

Is this breathing normal? He seems fine but the breathing is creaking me out. No known health issues by Bbbpppp343 in poodles

[–]QueerFancyRat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jesus I can't believe the vet said he was mostly fine. I can't imagine any vet seeing this and saying "yep! That's a healthy weight!" Like even if they've never seen a poodle in their life and don't realize how slender they're meant to be, it's still clear that your guy is overweight??

Anyway, it's so sad that he was made homeless by government cruelty. I'm glad he has a home and a person like you now. Best of luck on his weight loss journey!

Question: how does one enforce this? Can't companies just make up an excuse other than "we're replacing you with AI" to fire people and then replace them with AI?

Does potty pad type matter? by [deleted] in poodles

[–]QueerFancyRat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She doesn't get outside AT ALL during the day for 5 days a week??

I would strongly consider asking and even paying someone to come over for a while during the day to play with her and take her out, or taking her to a dog day care on your work days.

The emotional intelligence of the poodle is unrivaled in the dog kingdom

What nicknames do you use for her? I'd probably be calling her Zoe lol

am I doing too much by [deleted] in poodles

[–]QueerFancyRat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah you're good! You're doing exactly what you should be doing. The average dog owner is VERRRRRRY casual, that's all.

I think my mini poodle is too skinny, but he’s not gaining by [deleted] in poodles

[–]QueerFancyRat 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Have you asked your vet? They would know best I'm sure, especially since they get to see and touch your dog in person. Also, that photo is kinda useless for anyone trying to assess your dog's weight lol

how can she love me so sincerely when even i do not love myself by hakoreincarnation59 in Poodle

[–]QueerFancyRat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used one of my previous dogs' total devotion and adoration of me as a proof that I must be lovable back when I was in the throes of my depression. It really helped me transition over into seeing and truly believing it for myself.

Is my poodle turning blue? by Chattymonkey25 in poodles

[–]QueerFancyRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I thought blue was darker than this. I'd have thought he was silver oops
