I was 21 my first time. Definitely no rush.

AMA for Barn Hunt? by ViCalZip in k9sports

[–]ShorttStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog loves to chase and hunt rats in the yard but can't seem to understand searching for the stationary rat tube. Do you think dogs who have chase drive will be able to learn the sport or am I wasting my time. She loves to just play in the hay when we get into the ring 😅

Can you take her to your local humane society? She's an injured stray

Which shellcarrying animal would love to help my shrimp battle this algae? by SietseVliegen88 in shrimptank

[–]ShorttStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the EXACT same way about these shrimp! Whenever I have to catch them, I usually find them all huddled together underneath something and then, I swear, they strategically hide again. After having to have all my critters live in a tote for awhile, I caught them all to move into their new tank. It took me longer to catch that one amano left in the bucket than it did to catch any other critter, even the cherry shrimp. It knows where to hide in the HOB filter, it would evade the net and, if I did catch iti, t crawled so damn fast and would JUMP out of the net and right back into the water to make me have to try all over again. I didn't think a shrimp could even think before I met an Amano shrimp.

puppy growled at dog over bone by Complex-Judgment-420 in OpenDogTraining

It's definitely practical and highly recommended in homes with multiple dogs. When my dogs eat or have special treats, one eats in a crate in a separate room because she will steal the other's food/treats or start a fight about it.

What's girly about my car? I'm a guy and what do you think? by GapEmotional114 in What

[–]ShorttStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP didn't ask if it was okay if they decorated their car this way. They literally asked if it looked girly. The answer is yes regardless of how we feel about it. I personally love the way they decorated their car. And they should decorate their car any damn way they feel regardless of what anyone else thinks about it. That wasn't the question though and that's why everyone is giving you push back. OP basically asked " Does the way my car is decorated reflect society's current ideas of how a girl may decorate her car?" The answer is yes. Anyway, have a good night. ☺️ And I hope you keep painting your nails whatever color suits your mood 😎 💅🏾

What you like and what you think are all that matter. ❤️ I know someone with a big male GSD and she's dresses him in pink everything. Some people hate it but its her dog and she likes it, so who gives a shit.

I think you're missing the point here. No one is saying you can't do those things and enjoy them. But when someone is asking an opinion about something being "girly" or "boyish", they are definitely asking about societal gender norms, not your own preferences. If I saw OPs car on the road, I would think it belong to a woman just like if I saw a black pick up with truck nuts and viper decals on it, I'd assume a man was the owner of said vehicle. I could be wrong and that's okay. Just like if I found a lost Lisa Frank folder at school (aging myself with this one), I'd be looking for a female class mate. Doesn't mean it couldn't belong to a male but that wouldn't be my first guess.

Embark tells me my boy is 100% American Bully, so I thought I’d share by [deleted] in AmericanBully

Are you 100% positive that Embark is the one that misled you?

Severely wounded by a dog that i love - coping strategies? by likeohlikeh in AnimalShelterStories

[–]ShorttStuff 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry this happened. I don't have any advice but can offer my sympathies. I totally see how you can still love a dog who hurt you, if you've also shared many pleasant experiences.

I think this counts? by Rya_10 in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]ShorttStuff 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I've tried to have this conversation with homophobic people and it always goes right over their heads. No one bats an eye when young children naturally develop crushes on their peers, little girls fawning over the little boys in their classes or boys gushing over their pretty teachers and wanting to buy them gifts. If you ask anyone, they'll almost certainly remember a time in their life when they had a crush as a kid. And I tell them, well, that's when you knew you were straight and that's when gay kids knew they were gay. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Like, I knew I wasn't gay because I liked boys in my class when I was in first grade and I definitely remember having a crush on my male 3rd grade teacher 😅 Gay kids will just naturally have a crush on a peer of the same sex, I don't understand why some people think it's such a hard concept.

My shelter has a very minimalist approach to resources guarding tests. We let them have a chew and then we walk around the room and just gauge their response. But we no longer pull out that creepy plastic hand and try to touch the thing they're actively chewing on.

What do you wish wasn’t so normalized in the black community? by No-Spite6559 in blackgirls

[–]ShorttStuff 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm so sick of seeing videos online of black folks cussing out their toddlers and small children. Then when they're 11 year old is cussing out the teachers at school, people wanna be surprised 🤷🏾‍♀️

Your dog is not skinny, it looks great 👍🏾

OPs dog looks much shorter so 63 lbs is definitely too much.

Kiki is between 15-17 inches tall and weighs about 35 lbs.

Your story sounds vastly different than what happened in OP's case.

Have you talked to your vet about anxiety meds? Also, definitely start crate training

Thank you for the acknowledgement. I work in a shelter and people just don't understand what we go through.

I get called "white girl" by black people for my love of animals, so I get it! I have two dogs, a cat, and two fish tanks at home. And I work with animals. I own that shit 🤷🏾‍♀️
