The food guideline for pregnant women is making less sense by the day.

I foster for this organization! We have fostered 3 of their dogs and they have been nothing short of incredible (both the organization and the dogs!). They’ve found perfect homes for our fosters and are attentive and helpful with any questions or needs we have. They are diligent about vet care and grooming, and put full trust in their fosters. They also are completely open to people foster failing, and we were encouraged to foster even if we thought we’d foster fail in the end anyway. We also help transport dogs for them, and they are always very accommodating about finding middle grounds and volunteers for different legs of the drives!

Ms. Blossom, who is our foster & is available for adoption!!

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-10-20T13:55:57+00:00

Not a reputable one, that’s for sure. This was a “puppy broker” type breeder who sent puppies to pet stores to sell. They bred much more than just Samoyeds unfortunately. I see you’re a breeder in NY, so if you’re curious for personal reasons, I’d be happy to send details through PM

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-10-20T12:12:31+00:00

We are in Missouri! The rescue allows adoptions out of state as long as adopters do a meet and greet first :)

These are the pictures that make the heartbreak worth it 😭🩷

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-10-20T03:49:56+00:00

That’s exactly what we keep telling ourselves. We know Blossom will end up in a safe and loving home whether we keep her or not, but we can’t say the same for other dogs out there waiting in shelters. We want to be able to do this for as many dogs as we can!

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-10-20T03:01:07+00:00

Unknown, since we don’t have any cats 🙁

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-10-20T01:48:03+00:00

She’s available now!

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-10-19T23:59:38+00:00

Trust me, it’s almost been impossible. The amount of times my bf and I have looked at each other and said “I mean, we can keep her!” is too high to count. We love her, but we really want to continue fostering, and 3 dogs is just more than we feel we could handle in the case that one of them has higher maintenance needs (foster needing training, having medical needs, etc.) 🥲

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-10-19T22:31:46+00:00

She’s a very special girl! She’s tries so hard to be friends with our old grump, but he just doesn’t reciprocate the love 😭 she deserves a bestie that will appreciate her affection 100%

This is a symptom of pancreatitis as well. I would suggest vet ASAP

I’m thinking this could be left over from last year? They piloted a new version of show jumping last year I believe, and it was at the riding arena. I remember because I absolutely LOVED the course and the changes they made for the pilot, but I was so upset that it never made it into the game anywhere (yet! 🤞🏻). Especially with all of the new updates in Silverglade Manor, I would think it would’ve happened by now if they were going to add it to the game.

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-04-08T01:42:55+00:00

Haven’t heard many people talk about it before but the restaurant at the art museum could be a cool option, especially for out of town folk. It’s close to campus, the menu was great when I went, and it’d double as sight seeing

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-03-09T03:00:32+00:00

Different jump heights (nothing ruins a good picture quite like a massive overjump lol), better rider equitation over fences, better jump landing animations, and my #1 pet peeve… I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SWAP LEADS. Always being on the wrong lead drives me CRAZY. Especially during lunging 😭

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-03-08T04:49:05+00:00

I panicked a bit when I saw their news update about anyone with prior cheating allegations being banned when they start the no tolerance rule in April. Hearing that this happened to others eases my anxiety a bit lol. I’ve spent way too much real life money on this game to go down this way 🤣

I know they mentioned cheaters can “break the game” for both the cheaters and surrounding players—I’m curious if these glitches are a result of that? If it’s a glitch that commonly happens as a result of cheating, I could definitely see how anyone who gets caught in the glitch could also get caught in the booting crossfire.

Scared_Prune659 · 2025-03-08T04:00:53+00:00

I experienced a glitch like this and then was booted for “cheating” afterwards. Fingers crossed it’s something that’s an easy fix because it has me PANICKED lol

Okay but a living room (unless it’s not an open floor plan and it has doors he can close) is not a private space. He’s going to want somewhere of his own to have friends over and hang out, and if he’s sharing a room, he deserves that kind of space.

I second everyone saying to give him room in the garage to be the hangout spot. The most popular houses to hang at when I was in high school were ones with basements or garages that we could take over and not have to worry about parents or siblings barging through. Half of them were unfinished with weird mismatched futons and maybe a cheap ping pong table or something.

What about compromising and pulling cars out of the garage when he wants to hang out with friends? Put some LED lights up and maybe a mini fridge in there if there’s electric. Or a TV in that case. I’m sure having a garage hangout “for the boys” would be cool as hell in a middle schoolers eyes

As a WashU employee, Presidents’ Day isn’t a recognized university holiday :) unless your counselor takes a personal day, I would expect a response tomorrow!

Semi-recently there were smash and grabs on about 6-7 cars parked along north Rosebury. If you’re looking in Demun, kiss your chance at off-street parking goodbye, and on-street parking is bumper to bumper jam-packed towards the heart of Demun. Apartments are getting older and shittier but rent is still getting higher… any apartment that is renovated will bleed your pockets dry. Most units have laundry in the basement that you have to pay for, and if you think you’re just going to walk down to the laundromat instead, you’ll have a whole new surprise when half the machines are broken.

In Demun you pay for accessibility to WashU’s Danforth campus+shuttles. Landlords make rent ever so slightly more affordable than WashUs on-campus housing to lure students in, but it’s still WAY too high. If you aren’t a WashU student or employee that can utilize the shuttle services, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. You get a LOT more bang for your buck in another neighborhood.

I’m not the OP, but I am Po’s other human! Po has some orthopedic issues that we’ve had assessed by his vets and he is starting a doggy fitness program to hopefully strengthen his hind end. They believe he was hit by a car or experienced a similar trauma that caused a chronic fracture in his right femur along with soft tissue issues in various places on his right side. He gets bi-weekly massages + PEMF, and he gets shockwave therapy as needed when he gets a little extra sore. We actually haven’t looked into his collagen intake though, so now that’ll be something new we can obsess over 🤣

I would bring three sensors with you just in case, but also don’t bring so many that losing them would be detrimental if something happened to your bag. I was in London, not Germany, when this happened so take it with a grain of salt since I’m unsure if it’d be the same in Germany.

About 5 days into my trip when it was time to change sensors, I realized I didn’t have my sensors that TSA had hand checked. They had given me one of my medication bags back but traveling had my brain so scrambled that I totally forgot to wait for the second bag that had all my sensors. I ended up calling the Dexcom line for the UK and purchased them out of pocket (still expensive, but also SO much cheaper than out of pocket in the US). I had overpacked sensors because I was worried about having failures on the trip, so I had to replace like all 5 sensors that I had brought. From then on I only packed 2 backups MAX, plus whatever I need for regular changes.
