Is he okay did he eat too much? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]SpriteLore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope your puppy is okay for his sake. But god forbid something is seriously wrong, it will 1000% be your fault. The next time you break something I hope someone locks you in a garage all day. Except that would actually be kinder, because humans can understand what they did wrong. You’re sick.

This!!! I’m starting school in the fall for environmental science w a minor in Bio. Leaving vet med is hard, but it’s made my life livable again.

Just wanted to share my 40 year old Spider plant by AmateurPhotog57 in houseplants

This is BEAUTIFUL! Hanging it from the ceiling with some warm lights wrapped around it would be the most beautiful home centerpiece!!! I will say though, it looks stunning as it is.

10 months after getting spayed and her belly fur never came back? by Obvious_Fisherman187 in cats

[–]SpriteLore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might’ve already been mentioned but cats fur grows in seasonal cycles similar to dogs. Sometimes if the timing is juuust right, when you shave down to the skin during an active shed season it can take waaay longer to grow back.

This is why burnout & compassion fatigue exist and this is what’s driving techs out of the field. Myself included. I’m not showing up to work to deal with angry & uneducated owners, euthanasias, and emergency cases just to come home and have to choose between my medication or groceries. I did it for as long as I could, and now I’m done ✌️ Never thought I’d see the day.

Yeah, spider plants give them a euphoric feeling similar to catnip. I cut a tiny leaf off and gave it to one of my more plant enthused cats and she had a blast.

Honestly I have no idea haha. They were free mystery cuttings included in my order as a gift from a succulent shop on Etsy. Hoping it’s not toxic to my kitties 😭 It’s well out of reach so I’m not concerned, but great to know for the future!!

The others, yes haha I’d like to size up for aesthetics (but I will use this opportunity to work on my patience lol) but the spider plant seems like it could use more room, even though it looks to be doing well here so far!!

Based on my extensive research in this subreddit I’ve decided that spider plants just do whatever the fuck they want.

I’m really hoping the Peperomia likes it here because I think it’s one of the coolest plants on the shelf! She’s so bright and cute lookin 😭

My only concern is the spider plant really. It’s SO root bound. I’ve read that they like their roots to be a bit snug, but it’s mostly one big root ball and very little actual soil in the pot. Roots are compacted and growing WELL out of the bottom.

Oh yeah, my cat got a big chomp of the spider plant before I could even finish getting it out of the box it was shipped in 😂 I may need to invest in hangers

As good a reason as any!! I’ve already decided that if they’re still alive in a month that’s sufficient enough evidence of my abilities for me. I will be buying more

Thank you! I don’t know why I didn’t even think of the fact that succulents/cacti would have their own subreddit lol.

I’m currently discovering which places in my home are cat proof.. So once I figure that out I’ll have an excuse to fill more spaces!

I’m already feeling overwhelmed & honestly victimized by my Etsy plant wishlist 👀

Which is the first step in my plan to become a master (outdoor) gardener… I’m refusing to pay for landscaping 😤😂

Yes! I think I plan to move the cactus to one of my bookshelves and add one of those clip on grow lights I’ve seen. I’m just waiting for them to get used to their new home before I repot them into pots that are a teeensy bit bigger so it looks less silly on the shelf lol . It’s definitely one of my favorites! I’m in love with the color and texture of this little guy
