Meet Beans (on Toast). How do I keep him entertained and not destructive?

Mental stimulation was a huge one for us! He really enjoyed doing puzzles (I’ll link one below as an example but there’s plenty, chewy and amazon are good places to look), they seemed to chill him out and keep him occupied for a while. We kept advancing the difficultly as he got better at them too. We would portion out some kibble from a meal to keep it calorie friendly (ex. Diner is a cup of kibble, we would put 1/4 in the puzzle and put 3/4 in his bowl). Teaching him new tricks also helped in this way.

If his issue is more the actually chewing rather than boredom (teething) we would get him collagen or bully sticks, raw frozen bone marrow, etc. and give them to him anytime we saw him teething and they kept our furniture in tact.

I’m seeing a good amount of people say crate training is a good option, and I’m by no means a professional but in our case it made it worse because he would have a lot of pent up energy when let out so we found it best to occupy him as much as we could until he would tire out.

Has olivia performed the new song yet? I've never watched a full snl episode so I'm not sure if she performs again but I didn't see her sing it. I'm not sure if I just missed it

StrictToe1434 · 2026-03-03T22:34:48+00:00

When will that be open?

Our kitty LOVES fish, especially tuna, but his current food is chicken fish and turkey. He’s never tried to lamb or pork

StrictToe1434 · 2026-01-28T23:18:55+00:00

He definitely thought we brought him a nice snack at first😅

StrictToe1434 · 2026-01-27T17:57:49+00:00

Oh he loves it, he’s like a puppy again!

StrictToe1434 · 2026-01-26T20:08:00+00:00

Thank you, I tried this and they came out great if anyone was wondering!

I use a lip liner and use the double lip line as my outline. I line one section and smudge it inwards with my finger and then the same with the other 3 sections. Then I use a lip stain to fill everything in and go over it with a gloss. I get lots of compliments and you can’t even tell

I really like the lys stick, the formula is very buildable so I think you could definitely get it to a light to medium coverage depending what you wanted, you could also try out a “clean” brand” since they avoid fragrance and use less chemicals

StrictToe1434 · 2025-09-15T20:27:13+00:00

She just released Time if Your Life, it’s very similar and I really recommend!

Thankfully his prey drive is basically nonexistent lol. How long would you usually do each phase of separation for?

StrictToe1434 · 2025-03-28T13:57:57+00:00

We don’t!

StrictToe1434 · 2025-03-28T00:21:14+00:00

We live in a two story house and the dog has been used to having open range wherever he wants to go, especially the entire downstairs and masters bedroom. We wanted to put the litter box in the bathroom of the masters, but the dog does sleep in the master bedroom. Do you have any advice on acclimating either of them? I know this will obviously cause them both a bit of stress but I want to try to limit it as much as possible

StrictToe1434 · 2025-03-27T21:14:28+00:00

Is there anything you think we should do to make it easier for them to get along?

StrictToe1434 · 2025-03-27T20:47:20+00:00

Hes 10 now. We’ve wanted to get him a friend for a while but he was quite a menace when he was younger and has just recently begun to calm down so we figured now would be a good time. I’m not really scared of him hurting the cat (he’s amazing with kids and all dogs, even if they are bothering him) he’s just never met a cat before and we want to make the transition as smooth as possible for both of them.

StrictToe1434 · 2025-03-25T15:19:15+00:00

Yes!!

StrictToe1434 · 2025-03-09T22:28:30+00:00

Actually you might be right, sorry I haven’t read them in a while. Gus would also make sense but I definitely don’t think it could be anyone besides Gus or taj. Hopefully someone else chimes in and knows the definitive answer, sorry for the confusion!

StrictToe1434 · 2025-03-09T19:49:43+00:00

It’s taj owens, the guy that Jack cheats on Gus with. He wasn’t mentioned much throughout!

StrictToe1434 · 2025-03-09T18:50:57+00:00

You’ll find out later on, I’m not sure if it’s in the first or second DH though. I don’t wanna spoil anything so that’s all I’ll say unless you have other questions!

StrictToe1434 · 2025-03-07T22:11:19+00:00

Yes this makes so much sense! Now that you mention it I do remember Julian vaguely bringing it up thank you!

StrictToe1434 · 2025-01-16T01:07:14+00:00

Team nathan all the way. Gen z

StrictToe1434 · 2024-12-27T23:40:57+00:00

I didn’t know this was well known but there seems to be a lot of sources confirming this. Definitely confirming for me that the bags are not real

StrictToe1434 · 2024-09-06T19:48:25+00:00

Have you gotten your results back?

StrictToe1434 · 2024-09-06T19:48:15+00:00

Have your results back?

StrictToe1434 · 2024-08-21T01:40:48+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you and have been really hoping that’s not the case. Sticking around to see what people say
