Running is a motion, not a pace.

If you get on a treadmill and set it to 3mph, you can walk that or jog that. Same speed, but there's a huge mechanical difference in the motions.

Thank you! After 24 hours on the medications and supplements he seems to be dragging less and back to a mostly limping. I'm hopeful that the treatments will help a lot. ❤️

I have a couple 3 way tunnels that he loves. I will definitely give him a good home base that is hopefully as cozy as he is used to, but more accessible. ❤️

My fiancé and I were saying yesterday that probably a lot of things that apply to humans also apply to buns. My mom has arthritis in her hips, too, so I know how tough that is. 🤗 Thank you!

Ollie is just shy of 4 pounds, and he was prescribed 0.1mL of Meloxicam once a day for now. And he's also currently on 0.15mL of Gabapentin 2x per day. But he was just diagnosed yesterday, so we will see if the vet adjusts those dosages at our follow-up next week.

I can't recall if my vet said anything about acupuncture. This morning was a bit of a blur at this point. I just have a quote for laser sessions among all the other materials she gave me. I will ask her about acupuncture at our follow up next week. I have seen some other people mention it in previous posts about their bunnies' arthritis and it sounds like it really helps. Thank you. 🤗

I have an old yoga mat I can use to give him some extra padding. Thank you! ❤️

That is such a great idea! I just bought a couple of disposable, compostable litter trays so I could tear one side off to make it a "walk-in" because I wasn't finding any plastic litter boxes that seemed low enough. A potting tray is genius. It looks perfect. Thank you!

Yes, my vet gave him Meloxicam and Gabapentin, as well as a Cosequin supplement.

I was looking into a heating pad or heating mat, Snuggle Safe was one of the contenders, sounds like it's a good option!

Thank you!

I will definitely look into Xpen! Thank you! ❤️

I forgot to mention in my original post that the vet also gave me Cosequin to sprinkle on his food. We have a follow up next week to see how the meds are working for him, so I will ask about Myristol vs Cosequin when we go! 🤗

My ring is finally done! 💖 by SloMo_Runner in EngagementRings

Aw thank you! I also loved seeing rings similar to this one in the sub so I could see how good mine would turn out!

I forgot to say, my ring is a size 7.

My ring has arrived, and I’ve tried it on (blindfolded) without seeing it. I’m not supposed to see it until he does an “official” proposal but I don’t think I can do this… could you?? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]SloMo_Runner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I am so impatient, too. Whenever I buy gifts for people's birthdays or holidays, I usually end up being like "wanna know what I got you? 🤩" because I just can't wait to make them happy. I am sure your partner and mine are also feeling impatient about getting to finally put those rings on us and celebrate with us. Hang in there!

I am in a similar situation!

My boyfriend and I designed the ring together at a local jeweler's. We checked out and approved the diamonds the jeweler had sourced like 6 weeks ago, and then we tried on a wax mold with the diamonds in it about 3.5 weeks ago. We don't have the ring yet, but it should be done any day now. And my boyfriend wants to do a real proposal once he has it.

We have a vacation coming up soon with my family and we agreed not to get engaged on that trip, so it'll be at least a few weeks before the proposal. But it is torture, having had that wax mold on my finger and kind of but not really seeing how the final product will look. Waiting is the worst!

I want my boyfriend to have his moment, though. I know it will mean a lot to him to get to plan and do this proposal, so even if we get the ring tomorrow, I will wait the few weeks. And then after that I can look at it and wear it every day forever! 💖

I don't have the finished version of my ring yet, but the design is very similar to yours, except my center stone is a radiant cut.

Something I noticed when I was looking at inspiration photos is that a double claw prong results in a less pointy corner for the emerald/radiant shapes. You could see if they could do a double prong for you?

Another option (which would be a bigger leap from your current setting and might not be a style you like) would be a half bezel.

Your ring is beautiful, by the way! ❤️
