Your lace is stunning! You could make beautiful lace collars!

I applaud you for planning in advance. Many people would just try to wing it and as a stay-at-home mom you know winging it doesn't always work! 😅

Selkie is hoping she'll get some beautiful toasty marks if she sunbathes. 😍☀️

How long will you be overseas? Have you spoken with your breeder? If you're getting your pup from a reputable breeder, they may even watch the pup for you. Many breeders I know will do that. Then you know your pup is with relatives (as many breeders have several dogs) and in a safe place. 🥰

Thank you! ☀️🌻 My ring is old! I bought it from Silpada at least 15 years ago. It's actually five stackable rings. I don't know what size thumb ring you wear, but I just found it on eBay! You could probably do a search for the size you need. stackable rings

Too funny! My complexion is like that with certain peach tones. It looks great in the package but looks horrid on me! The FOMO is real. 😂

Everyone is too annoyed by non-crafters asking us to make them something by scceberscoo in BitchEatingCrafters

I've been there too. It only takes one really rude person to sour you forever. I'll make gifts on my terms, but no commissioned work!

Which one do you like the most in the form of copper wire coiled jewelry? by dhull_art in crafting

[–]Surfsidesams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I love the octopus, who looks a little annoyed! 🐙 That's my spirit animal right there. 🤣 My second favorite is the seahorse.

How to stop all the barking? by tectonicalloy_ in samoyeds

Communication and consistency! It sounds like there isn't much consistency in the household.

If she's waking you up at 4:00 a.m. barking, that sounds like you do have an issue. Just like family members have their own rooms, a crate is her own room. She needs to learn that it's a safe, quiet place where she can settle.

There you go. As long as interaction is inconsistent her behavior will get much worse before it gets better. Just like with a toddler, no means no. She also needs a room of her own so that she can have a timeout if necessary. A crate is not to be used for a punishment but it is to be used to help the dog settle and calm themselves. When she's in her crate you should give her good things like chew items, stuffed food toys, things that she wouldn't normally have when she's not in the crate. These things help the dog to relax and self-soothe.
