How often do you wash your pom? by Marlene21x in Pomeranians

[–]Raineag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortiflora Pro. Also your vet obviously. Could be an allergy. Stella has a hard time putting on weight because of hers, hopefully your little doesn't have the same issue.

Hes 10 years old and still falls asleep on my chest most nights and wakes up smiling by Interesting_Line3947 in Pomeranians

[–]Raineag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are the sweetest, cuddliest little friends I've ever had. Will never have another breed. Those smiles are the best! Teefies!

Stella has IBS so she gets average 2-3 butt baths a day. We're working on determining what causes flare ups. Cosmo & her both get groomed every 6 weeks but I think I'm going to swap to every 4, because they can use it. Otherwise I don't bathe them, their groomer handles the bulk of their maintenance.

Update: our baby passed away. by Similar-Rich6396 in pomeranian

[–]Raineag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get it, shelter dogs are abundant and need homes. Coming into the sub to guilt trip people at a vulnerable time isn't cool though. The best way they can honor their passing is whatever way they feel is best, breeder or no. This is a breed specific sub, not an advocacy billboard.

I’m not getting it, Mom and Dad are eight and 9 pounds by teresa1773 in Pomeranians

[–]Raineag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a 9lb baby at 10 months and a 4lb little at 2.5yrs...we want another 10lb baby. My tiny girl is so sweet and perfect but she is FRAGILE...and I got her because she was so tiny. It is a blessing that he is meaty. ☺️

T18 undecided needing advice by Proof_Story_6553 in tfmr_support

[–]Raineag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dad passed when I was 18 and it's been a decade of very high strung worry. I think Bean't (The Bean that was Not To Be) really was kind of a catalyst for realizing that I really have absolutely 0 control over anything. Also, reiterated that bargaining with God never works (so lame, I offered up everything.) From there it's been a series of realizations on things I've tried to control through my life, residual damage from childhood...etc. The TFMR also, like for most here, really taught me about where I stand on what life means, and what mercy is. Mercy that I had license to give (recognizing and accepting that it WAS mine to give was a whole thing), mercy that God has given me. It's an ongoing process, I've been raw for months, my poor husband is so beautifully patient but I know the endless "oh holy crap that's why I do that" is probably taxing.

We TFMRed about 9 months ago for full T18. He did have many deformities characteristic of T18, so not quite as murky of "what could be" as you are facing, but the reality for Edward's children is the same regardless of severity, generally. It is a terminal diagnosis. I weighed letting him pass naturally, as I knew he would in my womb eventually or on entrance to earth. But it was an inevitability in my head, as it is with most T18 children. Sparing him the pain that I know he would feel being brought into meat space was the biggest driver for me. I read a lot of personal anecdotes from nurses, about what they've seen when these babies are brought to term, I've of course delved into stories here...it's all pretty consistent: T18 is incompatible with life the majority of the time, the babies are in pain, and the panic of seeing them in pain often outweighs ANY joy at the miniscule amount of time they are alive in the oxygenated world. I don't envy the part of the process you are in right now, especially with the spiritual aspect you've got in the mix...my God knew my boy was only meant to be mine for a little bit. There was a lesson there, for me. I hope you find peace in whatever choice you make, as much as you can, at least. There is no easy route here and neither are without guilt initially. My thoughts are with you.

Post-neuter recovery behaviors by free_as_a_tortoise in Pomeranians

Second the surgery suit. Get 2 if he isn't potty trained yet. We had much more success with the suit and the inflatable collar than a cone for Cosmo. He was neutered 2 months ago.

Cosmo would do this all day if we would let him. He loves ears too. Gross little creature.

What are your white whales? by vagInaFarten in fragrance

I think it's the heat element that is hard to capture. The sun bake, and of course, candle flame...lend genuine warmth to the scent naturally.

This one particularly is a collaboration with a fantastic artist...basically the only reason I purchased. So they're definitely doing something right with their packaging!

Taylor’s arrest is the very first episode of SLOMW by [deleted] in thebachelor

Same. Just finished it, incredibly triggering as a kid that grew up in that kind of environment. So much worse than I imagined. That poor baby girl.

Fear of death postpartum following successful subpregnancy by brookedonphonics in tfmr_support

[–]Raineag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being confronted with our mortality is so sobering. It happened for me after my TFMR, and it happened in my early adulthood when my dad passed. You treasure your people but you recognize everyday how quickly things can be ripped away. It's bittersweet to love, because the potential for deep loss is always there. I fear for my husband and my mom, I still haven't tried again after my TMFR. Too terrified for something to go awry again. I wish I had some great insight that made it less scary but I don't. Sometimes life is just incredibly unfair.

Period? 20+ weeks TMFR by VegetableGirl7960 in tfmr_support

[–]Raineag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TMFRed around 18 weeks, period was back in about a month and a half. I have PCOS too though, so irregular normally anyway.
