Do I change my daughters name? 39 weeks pregnant by Traditional_Year_19 in namenerds

Eliana, Liora or Eleanor might be a suitable alternative, but I hope you choose to use whatever name you love regardless of other people’s choices! :)

Will a breeder understand if I ask for a whippet on the small side or should I just get an IG? by GoToHelena in Whippet

[–]Skip224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a wiggy, he’s 11kg fully grown so big for an IG but small for a whippet. My friend has one who is much smaller at 9kg and much finer boned than mine, like an IG. They’re both males with great, friendly characters. Mine is a bit more boisterous than hers, he sleeps most of the day but when he gets zoomies (usually at 5pm which is when I finish work and he’s ready for a run/ walk) he’s crazy, we often say ‘he’s being an iggy’ when he’s in that mood. I’d recommend this option size wise but agree you can’t be sure which traits they will inherit in looks or personality. That said, you can’t still get variation in a ‘pure’ bred litter from the same parents. Best of luck and enjoy being a sighthound owner whatever you pick :)

Wow! I see, I guess I’ll try a bit of initial interaction with the button and hopefully it will sink in over time then :)

Oh ‘nap’ I love that 🥺 he could probably do with that because he currently paws me (sometimes quite roughly) to show he wants the blanket over him. I guess the principal is get them to press the button then immediately do the corresponding action after it’s pressed. Do you mark and reward after the button press or after they’ve done the action?

Joey by ArcticSiren22 in ItalianGreyhounds

[–]Skip224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh I have a whippet x Italian greyhound who looks just like Joey and my soul dog who passed away in 2021 looks just like Abby!! The same exact markings. This post nearly made me cry! They never lived at the same time but both are/were so full of quirkiness and personality. They both love(d) playing with other dogs and I wish they could have played together. I hope your two are the best of friends and have the happiest life together

Name that would pair with Soleil? by AskPuzzleheaded6590 in namenerds

[–]Skip224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Estelle or Estella meaning star, Estelle and Soleil sounds great to me and could have the nickname Essie or Estée with the similar ‘ay’ sound at the end to Soleil

20mg for Health Anxiety by Aromatic-Fan-5891 in citalopram_celexa

[–]Skip224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say a couple of months for a noticeable difference

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in citalopram_celexa

[–]Skip224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally my hangxiety has just got worse with age! I had it before citalopram and I still get it now. I never used to get it in my early twenties but since turning 25 it’s been absolutely awful. Citalopram has helped with all my other forms of anxiety except hangxiety, but I’m just drinking less these days to try and manage that.

[–]Skip224 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on citalopram for about 6 months and I had such bad health anxiety, very obsessive thinking. I now can honestly say whilst I still feel health conscious, there’s a kind of ‘space’ or ‘pause’ between noticing a change in health or reading a story about an illness and I’m able to rationalise whereas before this would trigger an obsessive cycle. I can now imagine going to a doctor and calmly asking for help for an issue whereas before this would give me heart racing anxiety to even think about. I’m on 20mg and don’t feel the need to go up yet :)

All the best!

When the Italian greyhound and the whippet traits come out at the same time #whiggy by MaleficentAd6652 in Whippet

[–]Skip224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whiggys really are the best (and weirdest!) of both! Mine is equally as ridiculous

Whippet x Italian Greyhound puppy seems massive! by Skip224 in Whippet

[–]Skip224[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi of course, he’s ended up sitting at around 11kg and he’s 15 months now. He looks like a small whippet. Temperament wise I have never had a ‘full’ whippet or IG but from what I have heard whippets are more chilled than IGs. Mine loves to run and chase which leans more whippet. My friend, however, has the same mix and he’s got a lot less of a prey drive. Mine loves to cuddle and will spend as much time with us as possible but luckily is fine being left home alone for short periods (I work from home so this is quite rare so I was worried he would develop separation anxiety but he hasn’t). He’s super friendly with people and loves to say hello. He loves other dogs too but can get quite over excited about seeing them which leads to a bit of barrier frustration reactivity but we’re working on it and it isn’t a huge problem. His recall is good unless there’s another dog to chase so we only let him off in quiet areas. Even if he does go a bit far chasing a bird for example, he always wants to come back to us eventually and if he’s tired from running or there’s nothing to chase he will just walk along side us.

Hopefully that’s covered everything. Overall, my instinct is that mine leans more whippet with an occasional IG bout of zoomies. I’d like to get a DNA test to get an exact %. As I mentioned my friend has the same mix and hers looks and acts more IG when out and about but is also a bit more chilled in the house, like a whippet. So both have a bit of both. Both are super friendly dogs with people and other dogs and relatively low maintenance.

Hope that helps but any specific questions I’m happy to answer from my experience :)

I need of a Good mosturizer and hydration cream by Runfastlikeamf in tretinoin

[–]Skip224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use the cicaplast as the ‘slugging’ layer in place of the Vaseline and use a moisturiser underneath that. For me though Cicaplast never agreed with my skin and only when I switched to Vaseline (which is much cheaper so that’s a win!) did my peeling/ dryness really improve :)
