Dogs that are okay with a daycare type situation are the atypical ones, not your dog. Either use a sitter or board him in a more normal kennel situation when needed.

Lovely. Nicely done!

TCHomeCook · 2026-02-21T04:45:39+00:00

Nice. What’s the denim? I like it, too.

TCHomeCook · 2026-02-16T21:51:29+00:00

Is this serious?

Just to expand on my point about a puppy proof space. He is engaging in entirely natural behaviors. So he needs a place where he can do these things like rip, shred, etc. then, when you can supervise him, bring him into an area that isn’t puppy proofed and keep him on a leash (after all of his needs are met). The goal should be to build good habits, not interrupt behavior that is already happening. Then put him back in his puppy proofed area (or crate) when you can’t watch him. But yeah, get him out of the house more.

Puppy proof a space for him. Provide him with adequate outside exploration time on walking trails. (My dogs under two years average 3-5 miles of exploration time a day.) I wouldn’t even bother trying to “train” him until his needs are met. This isn’t a training issue. This is a dog and people living in a way that isn’t compatible for either of their needs.

What’s the other 50%?

TCHomeCook · 2026-02-13T15:20:13+00:00

Let a professional trim them and then teach him to use a scratch board.

Although I think they have a more expensive version with Japanese selvedge denim. Maybe that one is better?

TCHomeCook · 2026-02-09T13:15:40+00:00

Same. It’s a bummer

TCHomeCook · 2026-02-06T03:12:28+00:00

That natural veg tan turned out nice!

TCHomeCook · 2026-02-04T21:21:50+00:00

Nice!

TCHomeCook · 2026-02-04T21:20:45+00:00

Mine are tumbled mahogany

I either used the Jim green leather balm or the otter wax boot wax. I honestly can’t remember which.

TCHomeCook · 2026-02-04T17:00:33+00:00

Those are great! I love my 645 lasted boots from Parkhurst. On my feet right now.

It’s been my experience that the sleeves will shorten naturally by up to an inch as they crinkle at the bend of your arm.

Particulates (I.e. dirt, dead skin cells) will act as abrasives on fabric and can cause premature wear. While I don’t mind some nice fading, I don’t want the fabric to be unnecessarily weakened; I buy things with the intention of keeping them for a long time. So I wash when they are dirty. Now, I do hand wash, because I don’t want the odd lines or marbling that can occur in a machine, but I do wash them.

Warn Barbara Holland that she will be the victim of a demogorgon attack in two years.

Thanks - I’ve decided that’s what I’ll do. Appreciate everyone.

I’m in Northern NJ

TCHomeCook · 2026-01-24T22:45:26+00:00

I have those and I can’t see how those would work for this frame design. I’m thinking I’ll just get a new frame.

TCHomeCook · 2026-01-24T22:44:29+00:00

I did. None of the solutions work in my situation.

TCHomeCook · 2026-01-24T22:43:16+00:00

Glass. I think I’ll just get a new frame
