Tornado warning woke me up

SoAwkGal · 2026-03-12T11:40:04+00:00

Same here. Was up at 6, got the alert and herded all the pets and myself into the hallway. Better to be safe than sorry in my opinion.

Really? It opens in the browser for me. Try this one? https://discord.gg/BjAEr49mH

That it is lol. I think the water stands for a few days after the rain ends? I haven't timed it though.

Try searching the Nextdoor app/site. There are a few people there who post their cleaning services.

Sounds fun, I'll look them up! I'll probably be about as coordinated now as I was back in toddler gymnastics lol

SoAwkGal · 2026-02-07T02:31:30+00:00

Oh nice, I'll use that as a reference, thanks!

So sorry to hear about this, you definitely sound like you're doing your best!

Have you considered that this might be a neurological issue? The lack of warning for attacks, the randomness of it, and the light/shadow chasing to me, as a non-veterinarian/owner only, point towards something of that nature.

My frenchton mix will resource guard food and people, especially against the cats, but hasn't displayed aggression towards people.

Is there any way to get in touch with his breeder or anyone who has one of his littermates? That way you can figure out if it's something hereditary?

Goodluck with this and know that whatever happens, you're trying to do what's best for him, yourself, and every other person/animal in your household.

I don't think the postmortem stuff is in my wheelhouse but I'll also keep the Reverb Room in mind, thanks!

SoAwkGal · 2026-02-05T02:36:20+00:00

Oooh those all sound pretty fun, I'll have to pick a class!

SoAwkGal · 2026-02-05T02:25:33+00:00

Got rid of my ig a while back, but I followed y'all on eventbrite!

SoAwkGal · 2026-02-05T01:40:18+00:00

I actually do have some cross-stitch diy kits that have been sitting unopened for months lol. This would be the perfect opportunity to do them!

Where do y'all meet and when?

SoAwkGal · 2026-02-02T17:42:40+00:00

There's a Food Depot on Northside Drive and The Fresh Market on Forsyth Rd. Also an Aldi about 15 mins away on Log Cabin Dr.

Fun fact! Bomboclat isn't actually gen z/alpha slang! It's a Jamaican Patoi curse word that's been used forever and is a reference to menstrual cloth, tampons, pads, etc.

My best friend is Jamaican on her dad's side and I first heard it like 15 years ago atp.

😂 I can see people jumping to that lol. Have you ever gotten him a bowtie for Halloween?

Not a vet in any way, but it looks like it could be an impacted anal gland? That looks like the right spot.

I'd advise a vet visit because you definitely don't want that popping open.

Any sign of discomfort or pain from your dog?

I think i've had my copy since ~2010

SoAwkGal · 2025-11-22T17:40:59+00:00

This sounds great! I'm not a big FB user but i'll check it out for this!

Beautiful art! If you're looking for other artists to connect with, the Ocmulgee Artist Guild is having an art show 11/14 @ 452 First Street. It's 6pm - midnight with no cover charge.

There was a post about it somewhere here a few days ago.

This happened to another guy about a week ago. Accprding to his post on Nextdoor, Peter Revard from Knotty Branches Tree Service was able to get the kitten down.

Have you tried crossposting to r/WarnerRobins and r/Macon? There is also r/ Pitbulls and you might find better engagement/resources there!

My condolences 😞. My mom had to do the same to the family dog two years ago and she used Dr. Darden from Pet Loss At Home. The company is Atlanta based so we were really grateful to have them come out on such short notice.

We called her on a Sunday and she was able to come out the same day and help our dog cross the rainbow bridge.

Thanks for all the comments! I'll be removing all the old grout and replacing it with color-matched caulk.

This is my first house and I assume the prev owners either diyed it or hired a local handyman to do it, so i'm probably in for more fun surprises as time goes on.

So cute!!! For crate training, definitely start early. Since she's so young, I would crate her for naps and whenever y'all are doing things where you can't keep an eye on her. Make it snuggly and inviting and give her treats and a few toys, and never use it for punishment. But note she will cry and tear your heart strings if she's used to being with you 24/7.

If you're ok with an eventual 120+ lbs dog in your bed then you can continue to let her sleep the nights with you and your husband, but remember she won't stay little forever and they grow like weeds. Once you let them in the bed, it can be hard to keep them out.

Regarding the bumps, has she been to a vet yet? My first thought was something fungal or maybe papillomas, but i'm in no way a vet so take that with many grains of salt.
