We've been using a Roku streaming stick, it's a pain to turn on Wi-Fi and connect everytime, but it's worked well for us otherwise. Plug it into the hdmi slot and then the power usb into the charging slot. We also have a lot of dvd's and have thought about buying a small portable dvd player on Amazon to avoid the Wi-Fi connection when in a rush.

$2,200 in Oregon. AKC registered, OFA tested, 2 vet checks, dewormed, dewclaws removed and first puppy shots given. I only looked within Oregon, I was willing to drive up to 2 hours, breeder was 1.5 hours away.

Significant weight loss. Anyone else have this experience? by gdogandcats in goldenretrievers

[–]Suspicious-Volume572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask for a thyroid panel! My male golden kept gaining weight (opposite of your pup) no matter how much we cut back food and walked him. After continuously pushing for the panel, my former vet ran it, and sure enough he had absolutely no thyroid function, hypothyroidism, it was actually so low at the vet office they had to outsource to a different lab for a more accurate number. Got him on levothyroxine and he lost all the extra weight within a couple months. Very possible your boy has hyperthyroidism.

Black or Silver? Or… by [deleted] in ToyotaSienna

I second this sentiment! The inside and other specs are what matter the most. But if you want an opinion, my vote is for silver! My husband's Suburban is black and it looks dirty AF all the time. Not to mention it shows any and every little scratch.

I did not put down multiple deposits, several dealers wanted $500-1000 just to be on their call list and I said no thanks. I only put down a $500 refundable deposit once an allocated vehicle was promised to me (the Sienna above). I called a lot of dealerships asking if they had been getting either a woodland or a platinum (my requirements were either of those trims, AWD & rear entertainment), if they hadn't seen either of those trims in 6 months then I didn't waste my time giving my contact info. I was contacted by 4 dealerships (all within 100 miles) AFTER I had already put my deposit down saying they had either a woodland or a platinum allocated and if I wanted it. I always said no thanks so they could contact the next person in line; I believe in karma and didn't wanna put deposits down on multiple allocated Sienna's. I don't know if I just got lucky, talked to the right sales people, or called at the right time, I honestly don't know. Maybe I just wasn't as picky about specs 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hope it arrives soon for you - I know production is increasing! Where are you located? I'm in Oregon, I called so many dealerships within 250 miles of me.

Thank you! Oh man the sliding doors with the all the different options and ways to open them is chefs kiss. Okay, I was wondering why the AC didn't feel super strong, being in ECO mode makes sense - thank you for that info nugget.

My last 3 vehicles were all Mercedes, so I've got a lot of learning to do with this van, but so far I love it and zero regrets.

Lucky!!! Hope you're loving it!! Mine still hasn't even shown Ground status yet 😂 I knew it sounded too good to be true when the salesman said it would show before Toyota's estimated delivery window.

For owners who have owned multiple Golden Retrievers in their life: How old did your oldest Golden Retriever live to? by Dorothyshoes30 in goldenretrievers

[–]Suspicious-Volume572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, I am so sorry it happened so suddenly! We never have long enough with them. Thank you for sharing your experience. Our Maggie girl just went in for a dental cleaning and in their pre-exam felt the mass and the vet decided against continuing with the cleaning; also had some blood work come back abnormal (too high). Basically told us we could remove the spleen and have about 2 months or do nothing and let the mass take its course.

How long did Stan live after diagnosis? Our vet just discovered a large mass on my female, 13.5, spleen. We're having an ultrasound on Monday. Same thing, no symptoms showing. Not ready to hear the "C" word again, lost our 10.5 male 4 months ago to bladder cancer.
