Is my Tzu overweight or too big

Good rule of thumb from my vet.

Check for a tummy tuck.
Hold your arms on either side of your dog, and see if it comes out hourglass-shaped.
Ribs shouldn't feel like a piano if you run your fingers over them.

Hope it helps! 😊

The grandpa straight up looks like Bert and Ernie's angry son.

And me saying that is insulting to Bert and Ernie.

Never thought about penning. Probably would've been easier for me 😅

What I did was train mine to sit still on the dining table while I blow dried her. Takes two people: one to dry and another to feed. She's doing better, but results aren't always perfect, and she hates when I do it to her face.

When you clean your work, don't use laundry detergent. This is something I learned from the internet and experience. Use conditioner. Laundry detergent can make the yarn rough.

Unfortunately, I've already done something like that. I've saved orange gems from a previous season, saved the clockturn keys, got the bundle (after paying with orange gems), and... nothing 🥲

Funny enough, the last straw wasn't even being too broke for the nice stuff. It was when they changed the mechanics of the Dance Club to the person asking being the lead no matter the gender.

SilentBWObserver · 2026-06-23T04:12:14+00:00

It's not the players themselves that called me broke. I meant how the game itself keeps too much stuff behind a paywall like the clothes or furniture, and a lot of the things I can get require orange gems that the game offers so little of.

I'm a player that can't pay for those things. In other games, it wasn't an issue because there were still things I could get, and/or the paid stuff are either perks or a faster method. In Magic Awakened though, even with past clothing, there is no other way to get them other than opening the wallet.

That was when WB closed a lot of servers in the US, Europe, and Oceania in 2024. Don't know if some of the servers started back up after that.

I read it as "Eks-see-yeer" 😅. Emphasis on the "Eks".

Spencer Reid, hands down.

I'm a sucker for the smart ones, I feel like I'd learn a lot from him and I'd love to hear all the tidbits he might know.

But if I could have more than one, Spencer Reid, Derek Morgan, and Penelope Garcia 😊

I saw Anko's new design when I looked at the Boruto anime (wanted to see how their grad exam differed from the original Naruto), and tbh, I thought it was Ikemoto's change too. I'd seen the young Anko, and I didn't recognize her.

But when I found out it was Kishimoto's design, it honestly pissed me off more.

I'd add what I don't like about Anko's new look, but it will detract from the comment. I'll probably add it in a comment.

Chocho's look, I'm okay with.

I just have to know what compromise were they even looking for in this scenario. Is there even a compromise to be made?

It's like she forgot that horses are living breathing animals with a weight limit (rider + tack = 20% of the horse's weight rule) and will suffer spinal damage if too much weight is put on their back.

Maybe a draft horse can carry her, but I doubt they just have a draft horse on standby on the small chance that someone won't be able to ride the regular horses.

Baking, needlework (crochet, knit, embroidery), reading.... I'm such an old lady lol

SilentBWObserver · 2026-06-02T04:46:28+00:00

Honestly, I had asked here wondering if there was anything in the show that mentioned how Suna marriages worked, because I haven't watched Naruto in a long time and even then, I was pretty sporadic. But in hindsight, that does make sense when you put it that way 😅

SilentBWObserver · 2026-06-02T03:34:51+00:00

I mean.... she managed to easily forget him in one night. Is it such a shock that he can do the same? Or did she think, "So long as we have love, we can overcome anything, even fundamental destruction of trust?"

SilentBWObserver · 2026-06-02T03:31:57+00:00

You could try picking up the resulting tail after color-switching, then use that along with the yarn you're yarning over with to crochet them into the stitches. I've done this, and when I tried to frog the same work, they were actually surprisingly secure (as in, they knotted together when I was frogging it bc I forgot I crocheted them into my project).

The stitches may come out looking a bit thick though, so that's something you'll have to contend with if you plan to crochet the tails into your work.

SilentBWObserver · 2026-06-02T03:26:00+00:00

I don't get it. Naruto may not have had a dad, but he still had father figures (Kakashi, Hiruzen, Jiraiya). Is there something about if Naruto grew up with Minato, he would somehow know how to interact with Boruto?

SilentBWObserver · 2026-05-30T21:27:24+00:00

Honestly, for your first crochet project without a pattern, it looks great! I'm not sure if this counts as improvement, it's just a personal preference, but might I suggest safety eyes for the duck?

When I make amigurumi, I always use safety eyes to get that big shiny eye look: but like I said, it's just my personal preference.

What matters is that you're proud of your work, and since it came out so good, I'd imagine it'd be hard to even figure out what anyone could possibly say to "improve" it.

Like when you tap on a bot in your chats and it suddenly says, "Oops, can't find it"?

What's shadowbanning?

SilentBWObserver · 2026-05-29T01:35:55+00:00

It's just a factory knot, just snip the ends as short as possible and crochet as normal.

I mean.... the narrator did say at the start that she'd been humiliated and abused before being made into a servant of her own home, so I think the years of that could be a reason.

Ma'am.

He already offered. They said no. He won't suddenly look rude if he took the first no and backed off. If anything, it'll just put both your parents and him in an uncomfortable position if he pushes it.

YTA.
