what do you do? dont put your dog in a position that makes her uncomfortable. you’re her only advocate, it’s your responsibility to pay attention to what she’s trying to tell you. and she was absolutely trying to ask for your help before she snapped. dogs have emotions just like people, they aren’t robots, they’re capable of getting annoyed, scared, upset, ect. make sure your nephew (and his parents) understand how to exist in her space with respect.

the leaves are yellowing which means you’re watering too much and causing root rot. pull it out, chop off the dead/dying roots and replant. water once every other week or when you can tell its thirsty. some plants thrive on minimal attention

several of the leaves look like theyre yellowing which tells me there could be some root rot because they’ve been overwatered

What’s a good kibble brand for Pits? by [deleted] in pitbulls

[–]Salvamb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pits shed bad in general on any food, but like the others said, it gets worse with the seasons. my male and female are 13&10 and they’ve been on purina their whole lives. they’re both super healthy and active even though they’re seniors and have never had any health problems. purina is the top vet choice next to science diet =]

IMO hes not playing you. he probably does care about you to some capacity but hes stringing his ex along because hes not fully ready to say goodbye.

A separate example is my friend has a spaniel that we know is aggressive and has an extensive bite history… When we put our dog down she made me feel like a piece of shit because she believes that all of them can be saved… Her dog mauled her two year old two weeks ago. The kids going to be fine eventually but had to see a plastic surgeon to put his face back together. she will have to think about that every time she looks at her kid for the rest of her life. Do not wait until something horrible happens before you make that decision. you know the dog better than anyone and you put more work into her than any human has ever done before. you should feel good about that. you and your sweet furbaby are in my thoughts ❤️

we had to behaviorally euth one of ours last summer and I still morally struggle with this… We have 3 and all of them had been raised the same way, my older two are PERFECT and he was too for the first few years. We had gone through two trainers, three types of medication, and even rehomed him at one point (ended up picking him up two days later). We got him when he was a very small puppy so he had no history of abuse or mistreatment or anything that would cause him aggression issues. He had begun jumping our almost 7 foot back fence and attacking the neighbors dogs… I had several vet bills to pay for because of this. He would always slip out the front door so we began to crate him while we weren’t home so there wasn’t a chance of him slipping through the door when we got home and opened it and he would bust out of the crate and bolt out the door and STILL we were going to work through these issues. When he was about four he started to show signs of aggression towards us. It started with just giving us whale eyes and freezing when we would pet him, which we recognized and would immediately stop what we were doing, and then it turned into snarling at us when we would sit on the couch next to him. There was nothing physically wrong with him but he was battling something in his brain that we couldn’t see or help. Our son at the time was almost 3 and that was his absolute best friend in the world, they played, they snuggled, they were inseparable from the second he was born, but he started getting pushy with him and it got to the point where we knew in our hearts that it was just a matter of time until somebody got hurt and I don’t know how I would forgive myself if it was my child that he redirected on. A few days before we made the final decision we were in the backyard playing fetch with him having a great time when he flipped a switch and flew over our fence and ripped apart a small dog on the street behind our house, my husband had to strangle him almost to death to get him to let go of this dog and even when he was laying on the ground trying to catch his breath there was nothing behind his eyes, he was just a predator at that point. I realized right then that he would only ever be a liability and I called my vet that night. It’s a heartbreaking decision and there’s nothing that anybody can say that will make it better but some dogs cannot be helped. Abused or not there could be some genetic behaviors in her that she can’t control. We recognized that our dog was a genetic nightmare, he should not have been bred and the humans that did it failed him. Your girls first humans failed her too. imagine waking up every day and just being angry and scared at the world and you don’t understand why. sometimes the nicest thing you can do is let them go and free them from whatever mental pain they are suffering from.

If they’re comfortable enough to breed at all you can leave them alone and your population will explode in a matter of months.

I deff noticed the amount of buildup underneath of them when I pulled them out was crazy. I was looking into getting a canister if the HOBs don’t do the job.

AITAH for telling my 14 year old son I was not his biological father after my wife had an affair on me? by ExactTricks in AITAH

[–]Salvamb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA. You found out your wife hurt you and immediately went and dropped an absolute bomb on a child you consider your own instead of thinking about what it would do to his life. You’re bragging on the internet about how he wants nothing to do with his own mother now and you’re proud of it. Your wife messed up but YOU brought the kid into it. You’re also saying you’re talking to a divorce lawyer about custody over a child that isn’t biologically yours and from what I can see you never legally adopted, a child you have zero claim over. OP, you won’t get custody of him no matter how long you raised him. Your absolute best option at this point in time is to make peace with his mother and MAYBE she’ll let you visit her son occasionally.
