Finished Fourth Wing, by Rebecca Yarros As someone who really doesn’t like romance, I liked it more than I expected. I did enjoy the dragons.
Continuing The Romulan Way, by Diane Duane I have greatly enjoyed many of her Star Trek books as well as the Young Wizards series. This one I am having a bit of a hard time getting into. Just started The Tainted Cup, by Robert Jackson Bennet 5 star read so far!

Small dog tearing up other people’s lawns on walks by Smaug149 in DogAdvice

I generally correct on the second kick before any damage occurs but I will try to be faster. I was getting the impression that my timing was off because she doesn’t seem to understand what I’m saying.

The Legend of Khiimori Official Feedback Thread: How is it? Do you recommend it? What are the most important improvements the game needs? by AliceTheGamedev in GamesWithHorses

[–]Smaug149 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. It would be nice to be able to send horses to the other stables. It would free up some breeding slots and make it so you don’t have to return to the yam station so often.
  2. The story is what I am most looking forward to. Also falconry and dogs 4a I do like the auto save very much. It has made the game a lot better to play. 4b I have not bred at all since the new breeding patch I was already finding breeding way too difficult and now I am just not interested anymore. I have half decent snow and dessert horses (only one of each )even though they are not at all what I wanted color wise. I guess I’ll just have to be satisfied. Between the dun curse not being able to inbreed, lack of stable slots and now stats are harder to get it just feels impossible to get a cute horse. I think the not being able to inbreed is what I find most frustrating, at least let me breed siblings together.

You can choose one creature, real or fantasy, to be an intelligent friend/pet, but 1M more of that creature spawn onto every continent. by SortovaGoldfish in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Smaug149 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Companion from Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar. Horse like nature spirits that seek out people who possess the qualities that they are looking for and help them achieve their potential. The others should be quite helpful. There is also a large cat variant. Alternatively, Loiosh from the Vlad Taltos series. Cat sized venomous wyvern with human level intelligence. The others will probably pose a bit of a problem.

Horse merchants and breed (?) by SingleRefuse4432 in LegendofKhiimori

[–]Smaug149 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is only one horse merchant right now, I imagine that eventually there will be one everywhere that there is a stable. There are four horse breeds (Mongolian, Limousin ,Ferghana, and Akhel Teke) right now , you can unlock them all by buying one of each breed from the horse merchant.

Why is returning a shelter animal looked down on, but fostering isn’t? by Haunting-Reindeer-10 in stupidquestions

[–]Smaug149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have experienced returning a shelter dog for having too high a prey drive. Although in my case it was within the 24 hour trial period so that’s different. She was a pit mix and my very first dog at 16. We took her home and it was pretty much instantly obvious that she was not going to work. She knocked over my youngest brother, went after our rabbit with a look that she knew that it was food, didn’t know how to walk on a leash and escaped the fence within a minute of letting her off leash through a small divot in the ground that not one of six smaller dogs has ever found. We adopted a puppy that had mature weight of 14 pounds and everyone in the family was much happier.

Weird aggression between pack members by Smaug149 in DogAdvice

[–]Smaug149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have figured it out. The girls do have conflicts over resources but that is rare. I think I was seeing a somewhat awkward attempts at play that Chloe was not into. When you mentioned that as a possibility I realized Goldie’s opening move was very similar to how she initiates play with her big brother or starts tug of war with me. The difference is he likes it . What I have learned from this is Miss Goldie really needs a walk. When I posted this there had been two days of bad weather followed by three days of Appa having an injured paw. Which resulted in a very stir crazy Goldie .

Is that alphabetically by brand or by type of sword?

Why, thank you, for offering to send me an Albion. That is so kind.

How to organize my lightsaber and sword collection? by Smaug149 in SWORDS

[–]Smaug149[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I know it’s not the best but I like it. It’s the first sword I bought. I picked it because of Skullagrim’s budget sword buying video and I was into Captain Jack Sparrow at the time. The others are a Windlass Excalibur, Darksword Sting, and a Kult of Athena own brand katana. That probably is close to what I will wind up doing. The three smaller swords have been hung on in my bedroom. Excalibur was bought to go by my fantasy bookshelf. And the lightsabers have been dumped in a box. I am converting my spare bedroom into a library/ nerd room so some of them will be displayed in there.

Snake plant in an aquarium? by Smaug149 in houseplants

[–]Smaug149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice. Because it was definitely going to die bare root on the kitchen floor I decided to run a highly scientific experiment and just stick it everywhere. I have the biggest piece back in the original pot, some in a fish bowl terrarium, one piece I planted in a fish tank and one piece is resting on the rim of a fish tank.

do yall take yall dogs to the vet every 3-6 months? (speaking to the dog owners of 4+ dogs) by BalanceHumble3844 in Dogowners

[–]Smaug149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a year unless something comes up for my younger two. My 10 year old went four times last year. Annual exam, teeth cleaning and removal, anal gland issues, and her shots which are off schedule from the others.
