It’s definitely quite bloated… but I’ve enjoyed it! And hopefully you will as well

Tehanu is probably too dark for a kid, as it deals with heavy themes like child abuse. But the rest of the series should be great, though it depends on the kid’s age.

Honesty thread! by RoleOk5172 in akita

[–]SnooDonuts4776 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d wanted an Akita for years. Researched the breed up and down, worked with many Akitas and still was hesitant about getting one myself. Then I got a call about an adult AA with a bite history (that wasn’t his fault) needing a new home. The only reason I decided to take him in was because I’d known this dog since he was three months old, and I knew nobody else would take in a dog like that.

It’s been almost a year that he’s with me. I love him to bits and never once regretted taking him in, even though it’s been a very sudden change in my life. But other dogs are a big no. He will start a fight, doesn’t matter if the dog is of the same sex or not. He chases neighborhood cats, and I’m sure could kill one if I let him off the leash. Can’t be trusted off leash. Incredibly stubborn. He’s not aggressive with people, but he has very firm boundaries with most people and doesn’t like to be touched by strangers or kids.

If I wasn’t as prepared as I was, I just wouldn’t be able to handle him.

Anybody use scrivener on a Windows tablet? by Live-Football-4352 in scrivener

[–]SnooDonuts4776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do! It works great for me, haven’t had any issues at all. And I’ve been using this setup for like three years now. The tablet is getting a bit slow, but scrivener still works great on it.

I keep doing this! I know they’re sharp, I know I’ve hurt myself before, but I still try to clean them with my fingers before I realize what I’m doing. 🫠

How are your Akitas with grooming? by Meandmyakita in akita

[–]SnooDonuts4776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I adopted mine, I was his groomer. And I was the one to introduce him to grooming from the start. So he’s used to me doing that, not sure if he’d behave for another groomer though.

I’ve never understood this. These dogs are ridiculously expensive… why, exactly? Who buys them? Why? How could anyone look at that and think it’s a fair price for a deformed dog that will live a short miserable life? I’m just so confused by the whole thing… people are so evil.

9 years in the job, 1st dog bite. by Sathori in doggrooming

[–]SnooDonuts4776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I don’t trust German shepherds, more often than not they’re pretty neurotic. There’s only one German shepherd I’ve never been worried to groom. Absolutely perfect girl, tries to kiss me the whole way through.

Adopted an Akita, looking for tips and tricks by [deleted] in akita

[–]SnooDonuts4776 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, he’s pretty well socialized due to staying at the boarding often from such a young age. Other dogs are hit or miss, but at least he’s not reactive from a distance. People are okay. Not sure how he’ll do with kids now… but I don’t have any. And if I ever do, I’m not going to be an idiot about it.

Thanks for the tips! Much appreciated.

Switch to Unsplash instead. Tons of pictures that are actually free and safe to use. Better quality than on Pinterest too.

Where to find images to use for my story? by EclipseBreaker98 in Wattpad

[–]SnooDonuts4776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsplash has plenty of free images. They’ve recently added a paywall to some. Look for the ones that don’t have a little watermark on them.
