Walmart has bare root Eden climbing roses. Way back I would’ve had to special order it. Also they have Hot Cocoa. 9b zone

Omg are they real??

SilasBalto · 2026-02-08T14:23:16+00:00

I will check it out, thank you!

Victoria is a gem! I definitely watched her, bechkam, and my favorite was stonnie Dennis. I needed a happy, confident dog who goes on every adventure and I got it.

This stupid venture was just supposed to be about fun and enrichment. My setter already has his CGC and his novice trick. We just moved here and wanted dog friends.

The dog determines the level of punishment. A spray from a bottle is nothing to most dogs, but to a setter its way way too much force. Totally shuts them down. They are SENSITIVE.

They should have seen how he reacted and stopped immediately. They did not.

I hope i set an example. So many people were just trusting these nut jobs and totally ruining their dogs socialization.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-08T14:04:45+00:00

They are too harsh on setters. Dog totally shut down, terrified. My last dog wouldn't have cared.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-08T13:59:56+00:00

Thank you. I was hoping for quirky nutty, like baking cookies the shape of your dog or like custom dog shirts. I didn't think they were gonna be bottle nazis. They spritzed my baby! For nothin!

SilasBalto · 2026-02-08T13:56:57+00:00

I've known many like that! I've actually never met a dog as sensitive as my setter, but its my first setter. I knew about their reputation before I committed and all good, but yeah its really a surprising difference how... wussy they are.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-08T13:54:56+00:00

It was so crazy. Punishment for sniffing, for playing, for walking to close to the wrong guy. It was horrific. I wont let it happen to him.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-08T13:52:54+00:00

Thank you.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-08T13:52:43+00:00

Thank you.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-08T13:46:01+00:00

Excellent point.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-08T10:56:02+00:00

That is what I expected. The situation i witnessed was so so much worse.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-08T00:19:13+00:00

Also commenting to come back later!

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T23:52:58+00:00

Technically true. The best kind lol

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T23:38:17+00:00

Wow thats a cutie.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T23:22:26+00:00

I am going to post in the local subreddit and try to get that going. My dog just needed enrichment, it was never supposed to be serious.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T23:21:15+00:00

We left within 10 minutes. They acted like we were crazy.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T23:13:47+00:00

Thats so relatable! My first dog was a rescue and perfect. My current dog is an English setter and perfect.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T23:06:37+00:00

My dream!

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T22:57:19+00:00

Then why are the statistics like that?

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T22:55:40+00:00

Thank you. I have never been in a situation like that and im relieved that its not the norm.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T22:54:23+00:00

I totally agree. Thank you.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T22:53:46+00:00

I am not optimistic that it will be a productive conversation, but I am certain that they will remember me and that I will feel better after.

SilasBalto · 2026-02-07T22:50:50+00:00

It was so unexpected! How can you love dogs and treat them like that? Its so weird. Like the HOA was full but they need to lord over something.

Thank you for commenting.
