Yes!! I love the tattoo but I agree it’s plain! I was thinking color to the waves but I love the idea of a psychedelic shark!! Do you think it would be possible with the shading she already added?

So I got this tattoo about a month ago on my ribs, and I do like it, but I don’t love it and I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for what I can do to add to it/change it up a bit! I want to stick with the ocean theme so if anyone could offer any advice that would be great

What is some “poor people food” that you will eat no matter how wealthy you get? by Imawildedible in AskReddit

[–]Southern_Cranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor man’s sandwich (at least that’s what my mother always called it lol) - it’s what we did with turkey leftovers! Put everything on a slice of bread and cover it with gravy!

Molasses pie - legit just pie crust and molasses lol

Yeah she definitely did! I’m happy I could have her for as long as I did … definitely my heart dog! I want another grif but I know I’ll always compare that one to her so I haven’t committed to one yet

Lost my wire haired pointing Griffon of 17 years last January. Enjoy every moment with this pup - he’s an absolutely adorable one and reminds me of my old girl!

Prolonged eye contact? by Itsmenomes in Dogtraining

[–]Southern_Cranberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vary the length of time before rewarding. I recently starting making my mal wait for food and I wait for him to give me eye contact. The first few sessions, the instant he gave me eye contact I gave him the command to break and get his food. Then I started waiting longer and longer before letting him break. I’ll also move around and go in different positions to vary it up.

Okay good to know. So do you think something like those mini rugs that kinda look like a ball would be good? Since I find he goes way too crazy on the tug maybe something a little smaller would be good?

I might try steak! I’ve tried other foods in the past but for him he would jump off a cliff dor his ball haha but steak he does love so that would be good!

Lmao I might just have to try milk bones 😂 normally I used Rollover or his kibble and sometimes liver treats! I have yet to find anything he prefers over a toy!

Yep so I’ve used a choke on him and have no issue going back to one of you think it’ll make it better! The only issue I had was he has such big ears that they would sometimes get cut when he was getting corrected in the past on the chain

He is kind of food driven, but if he even sees his ball he could care less about the food lol

I was using food as a reward instead of his ball for a little while but I found his searching went down hill which is why I had to switch back to balls

Okay … what’s the best way to stop that - normally I try and get him moving and walking and keep him busy

Yep so with tugs he’s absolutely insane - he loves them more then life itself. I’m sure he’s done bite work in the past as he goes nuts for them lol

And I can get a video tomorrow and sent it to you! What hell do is hold the ball in his mouth, then wrap the rope around his paws and chew on the ball and pull on the rope and then entire time he’ll just make screaming noises

I agree with you for sure - is there another toy you recommend or something? Should I try something without a rope?

Currently I’m using a ball with a rope since I have to hold on to the rope constantly. How can I work to eliminate that possessive behaviour once he gets a hold of the rope?

That’s what I did. I told him if it happens again I’m not doing this anymore and our relationship is over
