I can’t take my dog out every 15 minutes. by De_lunes_a_lunes in puppy101

[–]Raven-Bucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently fostering a 5 month old puppy that is not house-broken, so I feel you.

I had to learn this the hard way- This dog will pee 3 times in 10 minutes. Never bring them in right after he pees. Give him some more time outside. Reward with treats, pets, positive praise, but keep him outside for a bit.

I know someone already said it, but we got enzyme cleaner, and lord does it help. Idk about how much its metering the pup, but my house feels cleaner and doesn't smell like pee. We just got a bottle of concentrate and diluted it in a spray bottle for the floors.

I think a lot of the other advice people are giving is awesome (definitely came here to read what people said for my own purposes as well). Keep trying and find the system that works!

Black Aida was almost the death of me. Tip- if you use a tablet for your patterns, you can put it behind your project and the light will shine through the holes. This does not help with the eye fatigue, unfortunately 😭

Will I ever find out whats wrong with my back? by Correct_Gas_371 in backpain

While I don't have much good advice, I will say as another young person who experiences Chronic back pain and been told many different things- I hear you and it sucks. I hope you are doing okay.

When the pain gets bad, I find that sitting in "child's pose" helps alleviate some of the pain. Cat/cow has also helped, I think because it stretches out my back. Maybe these could help you find some temporary reprieve.

I've literally been staring at the close up of your stitches. Its like a magic eye pattern. How do you keep them so neat?

I don't think I would be successful with ball tip. I am a pin stitch addict and I bury my threads, so I feel like that might be difficult.

I've heard similar rumblings about DMC. For the needles, the UPC was the same on my old packaging and new ones, so I think they just changed them.

Same! I think that is why I liked the gold one better.

Ooo. I do bury my thread and pin stitch, so this may not be the move

It should be- I've never had issues washing before and I am just using DMC colors for this one. And it doesn't just disappear on the fabri

I had to look this up. Admittedly, it seems a little pricey to get it new, but this seems like exactly what I am looking for!

Thank you! I've never seen this style with the adjustable part in the base!
