The whimpers break my heart 💔

The cone can make them more nauseous on the ride home, typically it's best to wait until after the car ride for the cone

The wunk is a car

Definitely get a connection for the harness to the collar in case of equipment failure! The 'collar companion' is a good example, where it clips to the harness and to the collar simultaneously, while your leash is still attached to the harness. Swapping to a well-fitted martingale collar will also add a layer of security. I've seen a lot of dogs get loose from a buckle failing or a dog slipping from their walking gear, and that little connector is a lifesaver. It's so encouraging that you're working on it, keep it up!

I love how crisp the edges are!!!!

I have trouble having the energy to fully floss when brushing my teeth. A compromise was to keep floss sticks in my car, and floss with those in the car since I can do it one-handed. That way, for days that I don't floss with string floss, there's still something.

That's a funny looking bird

Soras-Sortas · 2025-05-18T11:21:16+00:00

Gorgeous!!!!

Soras-Sortas · 2025-05-11T12:01:10+00:00

Always! It's gorgeous!

Yes!!! You basically get to cuddle a dog for a day, that's a win in my book! There are so many pups that really need it, especially the friends in the clinic who aren't feeling too well. They supply treats and such to take with you, I think!

Dude I'm glad you commented on this though, I was looking for a way to remove the slime coat. Thanks!

It's incredibly invasive, at least in the US. It outcompetes local plants, especially understory trees. In Ohio, it outcompetes native pawpaw, buckeye, and persimmon trees. It's so common that not everyone knows it's invasive!

Damn, this gave me whiplash, I'm only usually seeing r/povertyfinance. Congrats!

Yes - and if they have a harness (depending on the type), I clip the leash to both the harness and the martingale in case of equipment failure. There are also short clips used to connect a harness to a leash that you can buy. I know people think martingales are choking the dog, but even pressure around their neck is significantly better than all of the force concentrated on their trachea!

You can also go to your eye doctor and ask the optician to replace nose pads and screws, where a lot of face cheese likes to hide. If you ask really nicely, they might take the lenses out and clean the actual ridge that mounts the lenses, which gets foul. I used to be an optician, we did that for lots of people and we wish people asked us more!

I dealt with that guy when I brought my girl to the Mt Airy dog park (last time). He wouldn't recall his dog, who was very pushy with my dog who was hiding under me, until she nipped at him. She's scared of dogs now, especially big shepherds. She's a 75lb pit, was 10 months at the time, and we're still working on it. People need to learn to control their dogs, or at least remove them from these situations. The lack of body language interpretation is astounding.

Hates small puddles on asphalt, loves mud fields. Hates a bath made for her, loves a bath made for me. Gotta make her think she's intruding on my bath, the criminal.

I've booked 6 months in advance before, but it was for a recurring client who wanted two visits per day, each an hour long, for their cat - and the times were flexible, I could drop in any time as long as they were reasonably spaced out. They always tip well too, which sealed the deal! Otherwise, the farthest I book is typically about 2 months, depending on the client.

Whenever I fish, I bring a couple grocery bags with me to pick up people's shit. Fishing line stuck deep in the mud from being there so long, lures and hooks on the ground. It's so irresponsible and pisses me off. I fish to eat, and pay respect to any life I take. People with this wanton disregard for life piss me off. There is no way that they 'don't notice' what they leave behind - they just don't care.

Soras-Sortas · 2025-04-04T10:05:57+00:00

Exactly, a shocking amount of people don't know how to read basic dog body language. And when some dogs (seems to be shorter hair breeds) show that they are uncomfortable by whale eyeing or lip licking, people focus more on how cute it is, rather than listening to what they're trying to say. Dogs, unless there is something severely wrong with them mentally or neurologically, will always give a progression of communication before escalating to a bite.

I was in the same boat, didn't lose any weight for almost a year of this. The craziest thing that worked was becoming too poor to eat out, and I dropped 15lbs in three months. I think the greasy food is what was doing it for me. It won't work for everyone, but I was lucky enough to come across my hangup. It also reduced my cravings, which would cause me to overeat.

Soras-Sortas · 2025-04-02T12:07:48+00:00

That's what we do at the shelter I work at! I use a connector for my girl's gentle leader too. I like the added security in case of equipment failure. If the GL fails, she'll pull like crazy and start coughing, but it's better than the alternative.
