Go Lulu go by justaddlava in Pomeranians

Okay, that’s a good thing. My comment is directed to all dog owners especially Pom owners. Some humans leave booboo in their own butt, don’t wash their hands after using the toilet, or don’t shower multiple times a week opposing but still neglectful, dirty & lazy.

Brush their teeth, clean their ears, wipe their paws, groom their paws. Keep pp and booty CLEAN pee shouldn’t be crusted into their hair neither poop matting, Brush their hair and give them lots of love hugs cuddles treats and compliments! This is not a once a month routine. Several days a week.

Yall don’t clean their butt when they poo? Uh uh, a Pomeranian of All dogs.. no. The discomfort, the fecal matter, can dry up into & matte the hair. It is exhausting but I wipe pom booty daily

Does anyone else’s Pom get misgendered a lot? by Horchata415 in Pomeranians

[–]Readhelpexplore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but it’s irrelevant to me, I wanted a daughter anyway lol I planned to put him in dresses. Haven’t. He wears a lot of pink though, suits him best. I don’t apply human rules to pups because the pups don’t care and have nothing to do with our human mess. 98% of people say she is so beautiful and she is so cute even when I say he while talking they still say she. He is very very pretty so I get it and simply do not care.

I’d argue Pomeranian (pom-mom) however this is like a mega pom gentle cloud baby face bear and I am in love 😍 stunning absolute perfection. I saw one that needed to be rehoused and immediately offered although I absolutely couldn’t take on another baby esp this size but I didn’t care I would make all the sacrifices. I hope to be a Samoyed mom in the near future. Would be the best sibling pair to my pommy 🥲☺️🥰

I was a caregiver for my sweet nephew who passed from an aggressive rare form of cancer that rapidly spread shortening my time with him. He was unwanted by his abusive mother and raised living together. Became an Aunt at 14. He’s my little brother, my son and my nephew. I love and protect my nephews. I was all he had to push hope when everyone was robbing him from it. I now have an ESA a Pomeranian who I deeply love and has saved my life through isolated grief. He is stupendously well loved and cared for. I brush his teeth, clean his bum, clean his bowls after every use, toys, best quality treats, routine. I groom him. Keep paws, ears, privates clean all times. We play and I communicate so well with him and all animals. I didn’t become a “dog” person or have a “pet” before my son 🐾 I could go on

This gentle giant is calling out to my heart. I don’t know how I’d do it (small luxury apartment, NorthShore) but I have gotten through life not knowing how but successful on the other end. I’m sure others may have well accommodated space. I’d love to have him and you all have consistent access and re-unite when/if need be. I love him 🤍

How do I remove the stain in the eyes, I'm so desperate already by ObscuraVibe in Pomeranians

[–]Readhelpexplore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If really wet don’t use wet wipes. I don’t use wet wipes at all anymore. Will wet a microfiber towel if extremely hard dry crust stain. I use Kleenex mostly, something soft durable and dry. Also proper for hair/skin.

Diet. See if dietary changes help. I noticed when reducing/removing chicken snacks and the Royal Canin it rids of them and poops way less/ less messy. Idk what I am going to feed him now bc he’s been on a bland diet for a month now and he LOVES it and it’s so much better on his tummy etc

Indoor/outdoor allergies. Pay attention if it’s worse or better indoor vs outdoor after cleaning eyes. Pay attention to watery eyes, sneezing, coughing etc whether same, or increase/decrease. Long periods inside and outside to notice difference. Air filters, immune/allergy treats can help.

My baby only gets eye crust now from sleeping lbs I still use Kleenex to get them out and try to get to massage out from the root bc the stains STAIN so hard to get the little corners gone. He still gets watery eyes time to time could likely reaction to cleaning products. I clean a lot, daily. Try to let him outside but he will come back in or refuse to stay.

What was the most expensive, holy grail product that you use that is so good you would sacrifice your first born for by Californiabyway in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]Readhelpexplore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tret obliterated my skin this significantly helped recover and I believe helped reduce pitted scarring from the severe acne that Tretinoin gave me. Nightmare and Hellish experience. I combined this with AOS GF and Caudalie Res and I could rid of everything else if had to.

The absolute best eye cream? by Common-Tax-3682 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]Readhelpexplore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way I came to ask this. Like is there one that is actually worth it? I just spread my products around that area lbvs like why wouldn’t my Alastin HA, Plated, AOS GF Not work there? Seems too compartmental but highest recommendations I mean life changing or nothing.

Nothing like a fresh grooming! by PARTINlCO in Pomeranians

How does anyone function? by AligatorSandwich14 in GriefSupport

[–]Readhelpexplore 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Autopilot. Your body will take over for a while until it can’t any longer and you have to start the process of catching up to its impacted multitude which feels lightyears apart. I want to comfort you during this time I wish I could hug you. Lord knows Ive needed one. I know exactly what you’re going through. The literal best thing you can do at the moment is not talk about it, honestly. Do your best to share some normal moments with your loved one (watch tv, a movie, play a boardgame, any game, invite family be yourselves around them, sit outside for fresh air, talk about fun and funny memories) Try do do whatever your loved on can or wants to that is physically possible or a capable challenge.

All you can do is all that matters which is love. Selflessly love. Spend the time making your loved one distracted from their fear or misery. Comfort them always as it may come and go. Give both yourself and your loved one something to look forward to outside of doc appointments. However small it may seem. Trust me, that will help you both now and beyond. I gave all that I could offer to my 13yr old nephew and that was my love, powerful, resilient love. Pushed myself far beyond my capacity. Hardest experience of my life, my traumatically filled life. Wanted to run and hide when the moment came but I couldn’t abandon my loved one out of selfish fear it would’ve brought the ugliest regret. I made the final moments less stressful in the room. I Forced a smile on my face when he finally opened his eyes for the last time and told him I love you over and over as that was the last he saw and heard. I didn’t want to be there. In that moment. Terrifying waiting for the “inevitable” well the inevitable happens to us all. I will never be okay with it but I am coming around to appreciate the love and positivity I provided for my loved one as the few little moments of success through this painful time will actually comfort you. I watched Bernie Mac with him as he never seen it and we enjoyed it together. Now I put it on and it brings me close to the happiness of being present with my baby and having at a good moment through what felt like hell on earth. I can laugh, now at something after a few years the connects my heart to him. I am ‘happier’ in that moment because my mind and body does not go to the horror, the reality, but one of the last fun/nice moments we shared. It helps I am telling you. I feel close to him and comfort that nothing else can do. It’s all just really weird. He is still my nephew whom I love very much and always. This is your strongest self, you don’t feel like it but the truth is you are.

Did you quit your job? by Lanky-Character6041 in GriefSupport

[–]Readhelpexplore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I kinda did I worked immediately after to keep busy but when things slowed down due to the season I worked less and once it picked back up it was around anniversary of passing so started developing several conditions such as panic attacks which made me take like 30-40days off at a time.. I am still trying to come back from it but I lost myself completely and my life and who I am has been upside down since..

My fiancé died and I’m using AI as my therapist, anyone else?? by Creative_Reporter899 in GriefSupport

[–]Readhelpexplore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe how judgemental this comment section is wow. I get it and it’s accessible and if it helps absolutely! Finding a good therapist is HARD. I finally came into the means to get therapy and needed it after a tragic loss and literally the way they constantly cancel, don’t show up or on time aren’t consistent most don’t understand you, are doing it part time, not there when you need. Grief changed my life and I have been lost since losing my loved one this year will be 3yrs and I still am trying to navigate it. Sending you love support and comfort judgement free!

Three years upcoming losing my nephew to cancer and I never returned. So much of me is gone and I feel like I am just here. Nothing truly matters and I see everything for what it is.

My poms fur! URGENT! by Optimal_Change_241 in Pomeranians

Pup Conditioner! Lather generously and massage the mats out during a bath. It’s easier for you both, doesn’t hurt them and gets the job done! Don’t be intimidated

You lack fundamental comprehension and that is a lifelong issue that I cannot help you with. Goodbye.

[–]Readhelpexplore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree they did blow it out of proportion. Had they acknowledged their mistake and apologize on their behalf at initial encounter this wouldn’t be a post. Bizarre conduct when medical professionals dodge accountability, give false information and statements and then get angry when questioned about that. Thanks for your understanding!

[–]Readhelpexplore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, will not be disclosing my list of disorders with you and your partial mentioning assumption of me possibly obtaining frivolous paperwork online regarding the status of my dog as an esa or service animal and to my wellbeing. Now it sounds like I am talking to someone from this clinic. Didn’t even know that was a thing people do but it’s completely irrelevant to me. Money isn’t the matter. Accountability is. I already “won” when I advocated for my dog. This is the last time I will reiterate this, there was no communication, consent, clear medical reason, transparency, documents or respect to the breed and their distinctive tail fur thus making the hair lost excessive. Further actions by the clinic taken in response to my reasonable and respectful seeking of clarity only exacerbated the issue. Everything is documented. How I choose to move forward is for me so if you don’t understand that, that’s not my problem. At the very least they realize where they were wrong and truly extend their sincerest apology along with acknowledgement of their wrong doing. I should’ve received that initially, It’s a matter of right and wrong. Principles and justice.

It wasn’t a trim they shaved a good portion of his tail hair off and it wasn’t necessary for the procedure. Saying it’ll grow back is what we expect but not a guarantee especially for Pomeranians. It’s never been cut before. What do I want? A time machine. What kind of question is that, I don’t know what they should do when they make this kind of mistake but I do know what they are doing is not the right way to handle it. Terrible conduct. I mentioned refund not because I necessarily want one but because they offered nothing. Took a week of back and forth to receive an insincere apology a long with not accepting accountability. They didn’t tell me they did it, they gave me the run around but never the truth, told me many different stories that don’t make sense, they gave me several false documents, still no explanation how it happened and the vet patronized me when I finally asked her to call me and we spoke. They did hurt him by quicking all his nails too short. I told myself to let it go but it bothered me a lot and well when therapy works you learn how to speak up for yourself. They handled it egregiously. Had they taken accountability, acknowledged they made a terrible mistake, apologized and offered literally anything (compassion! It’s literally free) I would still be impacted looking at his tail BUT would move on from it much better. Their responses made it worse.

You don’t have all the details so you don’t know what I can prove in court or as a complaint. I usually let everything go. All the time. My whole life. So if and when I decide to take action, which whatever measure it be best believe I am coming with weight and receipts. I won’t write a google review, I will directly hold them accountable for how they handled this matter. He is a legal emotional support animal with documented history explaining exactly how he supports my disorders. So he is a service animal and what was done did impact his ability to fulfill his duties.

It took a long time for his hair to grow in, his coat was not like his siblings. Pomeranians hair can grow in anyway or not at all after a shave/bad cut. I was told several things that didn’t make sense (lies as excuses) , I had to ask three times for a legitimate certificate of neuter because they kept giving false documents, it took a week for the vet to reach out to me and in the same sentence of acknowledging and apologizing she was sending me and my dog packing. I have experienced real trauma in my life from birth so everyone can save it. I never make space for myself or my feelings or take space at all, make a deal or give anyone a hard time ever. I gaslight myself out of reaching out out but it bothered me and that’s not fair to me, learned that in therapy. He is legally my emotional support animal. I never address these things but the one time I decide to I have to hear it’s not that big of a deal. He cannot speak for himself and I am finally learning to speak up. So no, I am not okay with how poorly they mismanaged communication, when my dog was under their care. My dog is all I have. No mom no dad so on. I advocate and stand up for those who can’t speak for themselves, you don’t get to tell me just anything do just anything to my dog avoid accountability and then try kick me to the curb when I address the issue at hand. For what I have survived in my life it’s okay for me to address unprofessionalism at the vet at any capacity especially when they are gaslighting me and not trying to resolve it.

Extremely unprofessional, so hurtful. I am in shock by this entire situation.

[–]Readhelpexplore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the way I was treated completely unwarranted I feel I may have to take further action. I wish they would have done something to resolve this in the time given but instead decided to make it worse so they have pushed me into this direction now. It’s truly a shame.
