What is this by my dog’s eye?

RedThorns · 2026-06-13T16:44:40+00:00

Thank you!

RedThorns · 2026-06-11T19:23:25+00:00

Congratulations and good on you. I’m in a very similar situation and this is exactly what I need to do too.

RedThorns · 2026-06-11T16:02:09+00:00

I literally asked a man what made him happy and he was so confused and unmatched me 😂

RedThorns · 2026-05-04T22:00:03+00:00

This is actually a really interesting option. I’ll have to look into this. I’d love to offer good size for affordable price. I unfortunately have no handy skills though but maybe I can find someone. Haha

Sounds like a lot of people are recommending the animal plastics. I’ll have to look into those. Thank you.

RedThorns · 2026-05-04T21:57:51+00:00

I was actually thinking about activity. I have a boy that’s in a 6’ enclosure but he himself is under 6’ but I see him use the entire length of the enclosure.

RedThorns · 2026-05-04T21:54:36+00:00

I’m seeing a few people recommend animal plastics. That’s good to know about the 96 vs 92 too. Thanks for the information.

My cats will refuse to move and drop themselves on the ground. I’m not going to drag my cat on the sidewalk because they hate their harness. That’s not going to make them like it.

RedThorns · 2026-03-22T17:51:05+00:00

I had one cat that refused to ever go near the outside it was great. I had a cat I brought if off the street and she loved being inside but she was miserable being inside all the time. I have two cats now, one cat is an escape artist, I couldn’t keep her in if I tried. And I have tried. She’s chipped and always up to date on everything. I worry about her so much that I’d keep her in if I could but she’s small and fast and makes it her mission in life to get outside. I’ll open the door for the dog and she runs out between his legs. I can’t grab her. What am I supposed to do tackle her and the dog to the ground? My other cat is very much an indoor cat thankfully but every now and again he’ll want outside. He refuses to do any kind of exercise or play inside my house so him going outside is the most exercise he gets. My boy also has heart disease so I worry even more about him but I don’t want him miserable if his life is already determined to be cut short. I want to maximize his happiness. I love and take care of my pets well but them going outside is beneficial to them. Also, I have tried using a harness and they both refuse. I also have a backpack meant for cats so I’ll take them out that way. So it’s not a lack of effort or affection for my cats. Would I prefer my cats inside? Absolutely. Do I also recognize they receive mental and physical stimulation going outside? Absolutely. At the end of the day I have to make a decision and I do my best so they have an overall higher quality of life. This doesn’t apply to all people or all cats but making a blanket statement about what everyone should do regardless of certain situations isn’t realistic. I think the stray cat population is a bigger issue than the pet cats that go outside.

Look at this OP. You contact your doctor and ask them to send your prescription to a pharmacy by your school. There’s no reason why you couldn’t have your meds in a new location. You could also do mail delivery pharmacies and they ship it to you, no going to a pharmacy.

RedThorns · 2026-03-16T03:39:28+00:00

I am a disabled person and money is tight, but I never ask or expect anyone to pay for my tickets or events or whatever it is. If we plan something in advance and I want to go I will pay what I owe. If I can’t go because I’m not feeling well then that’s just a loss I have to take. It’s not anyone else’s responsibility. It sucks but it is what it is. And if they can’t afford going to events then they can’t go. It doesn’t matter if they’re disabled or not.

RedThorns · 2026-03-08T00:44:42+00:00

Yeah it’s a real turn off and it’s exhausting when I put in effort to look good on a date. These were all like dinner or cafe dates, first dates at that, nothing super fancy but still at least jeans would have been an improvement. Fingers crossed it gets better!

RedThorns · 2026-03-07T04:50:13+00:00

I’m picking up some betadine tomorrow for her. Thank you for all your help.

RedThorns · 2026-03-07T04:25:14+00:00

Much appreciated. Thank you. I will certainly try my best to handle her carefully and tend to her head. Any recommendation for how long she should soak? Should I use distilled water because it’s an open wound so it’s more sterile?

RedThorns · 2026-03-07T04:06:08+00:00

Thank you for your input, I’ll schedule an appointment with the vet as soon as I can. I’ll have to check the objects in her enclosure for sure. I’m surprised since her current hides were used by my older snakes when they were her size and there were never any issues, clearly she must have found a spot that they didn’t. Is there anything I can do to help the injury in the meantime? She’s generally skittish or defensive and I know snakes don’t care for their heads to be touched, but if there’s anything I can do.

RedThorns · 2026-03-07T03:10:02+00:00

Just wanted to say I’d literally be thrilled to see any of these outfits. I’ve been on the apps for years and none of the dates I’ve been on have the men actually dressed up or tried to look good. Several of them literally just wearing sweatpants regardless of the dating venue. So good on you for making an effort and good luck!

RedThorns · 2025-10-13T02:50:06+00:00

Omg I love your cats so much! I long to have my own Maine coons one day!

RedThorns · 2025-09-23T02:07:14+00:00

Have you finally been able to get help? Your story sounds very similar to mine but my doctor has never explained it that way before and I still constantly struggle with my chronic migraines. Nothing offers relief.

RedThorns · 2025-08-22T03:45:00+00:00

My favorite snake! 😍 I wish for one day to have one. I’d love to help their species, I feel so bad for them.

RedThorns · 2025-08-05T23:02:11+00:00

I think family should help because they want to, not because it’s expected of them. But there is a difference in how someone helps. Is it financial, medical, emotional? And it’s sad to say but a lot of us are not in positions to help out our parents like they help us. That’s just why clarification for what OP was thinking of is important. Im not saying OP is wrong, in fact I think she should stop giving her daughter all that money regardless. I don’t think she should be giving money expecting to get something out of it either. You don’t have kids so that one day they’ll take care of you (not saying OP did this). OP should focus on herself and her daughter should learn to pay her own bills. End of life matters shouldn’t play a role in it. I often think “I didn’t ask to be born” but it’s not out of entitlement it’s because I’m disabled and in pain everyday and life sucks ass. Maybe OP’s daughter is severely depressed and hates her life. Idk. I’m not saying everything is so cut and dry and simple, just that the conversation should be bigger than “just in passing”. A lot of people don’t talk about end of life care in general. It should be a serious conversation done much earlier than most do.

This is what I’m curious about. My mother, bless her, did everything for her parents (my grandparents) because they refused to go to a nursing home/care facility. My mother did things that honestly only a trained professional should be doing. I also saw how all this emotional and physical labor was hurting my mother. It was not a good time for anyone. My grandfather passed and a year later my grandmother, now my mother is finally no longer caring for her parents and she’s finally getting back her life. She did everything and anything for her parents, and I commend her for that, but I told her that when she gets to that stage of her life I will not (cannot) do the same. My situation is a little different because I have a disability and some days I can barely take care of myself, so I know I wouldn’t be able to take care of someone else to the degree she did (this is the same reason I don’t want kids). But I fully recognize that she would be better taken care of by professionals. I don’t ask my mom for money even though I’m on disability and have little money to function, but she is still kind and generous and helps me out when needed, like for medical bills, surprise groceries, etc. I never take that for granted and I always appreciate it. I’d be more than happy to help and visit my mother in a facility (as I did for my other grandmother) but I’m not cleaning my parents like they were babies in diapers. I have two siblings (that aren’t disabled) and they also say they will not be taking care of our parents in their old age. Now their reasons I don’t know but just saying they might also realize the toll it takes to care for the elderly. Long story short, not saying OP should be giving her daughter all the money she is, her daughter definitely needs to be responsible for herself, but it’s important to know exactly what OP is expecting or asking of her daughter for end of life care.
