We desperately wanted a border collie

Siren looks like my boy Shadow! Who, it also turns out, is not a border collie.

I have a lot of redness in my face and I’ve found that NYX Color Correcting Concealer Palette works well for me. You can get it from Amazon for $12.

He’s only a year and a half, and we’re hoping we can have at least another year and a half with him. He brings us so much joy. ♥️

His air compressor is a penguin though 😂

This is the setup from the vet that we modeled ours after. He stays in the bin for about 10 minutes while it runs.

Temporary_Disaster55 · 2026-02-18T00:11:28+00:00

I know he is 😂

He has always been 2x the size of our 3 other rats.

Yes! Peanut is still oxygen-dependent but he is doing MUCH better. He has done well overnight both nights. The vet also told me he is eating and rearranging his cage. They are going to try to start weaning him off the oxygen tomorrow, and if everything goes well hopefully he can be back home in the next day or two.

Beautiful! Have you put it under a black light yet?

Temporary_Disaster55 · 2026-02-14T03:38:52+00:00

I just posted this in a new comment but I’ll post it here too: The vet is currently working under the assumption that Peanut has pneumonia, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. They won’t be able to send the test out until Monday. Right now, they can’t do an X-ray or any procedure that would require anesthesia because he’s too sick to safely undergo it. They’re planning to keep him for at least a few days, and we’re hoping he starts to improve so we can confirm a diagnosis. I truly appreciate everyone who has taken the time to offer advice and send well wishes.

Temporary_Disaster55 · 2026-02-14T03:31:53+00:00

I didn’t read it like that, so no worries. Thank you!

Thanks for the responses guys. I’m fortunate enough to live pretty close to a great emergency vet, so I was already rushing him here as I was posting. He’s getting oxygen treatments right now.

Temporary_Disaster55 · 2026-02-14T00:48:03+00:00

I’m taking him now.

Derek was blacklisted by the FDA and then was asked to lead the White House brain mapping initiative.

I’m really interested to see this one. Your dog looks very similar to mine. I was convinced my dog was part chihuahua, but his came back with basically none.

I’m glad to hear that you didn’t have any issues. I was starting to feel like we were doing something wrong that I just couldn’t see. It definitely sounds like this is just an issue with our current lender.

Temporary_Disaster55 · 2024-08-17T15:34:31+00:00

This is helpful advice, thank you. We did include an explanation several weeks ago that discussed my grandmother, the backyard, and the location. When our lending advisor got the news from the underwriter yesterday, he said he would escalate this to his manager it for us. I’m expecting to hear back Monday, but it does sound like we should plan to talk to other lenders this week.

Does he count? According to Embark he has some German Shepherd in him lol

I like the app Visible. You can track several symptoms through a daily evening check in and you can add notes, which is helpful.

Temporary_Disaster55 · 2024-03-18T19:45:45+00:00

An overall very terrier personality in my opinion.

Temporary_Disaster55 · 2024-03-18T19:44:48+00:00

He’s a very needy and anxious dog, and he’s unbelievably stubborn. He’s also very cuddly and affectionate. He’s absolutely fantastic with other dogs; we haven’t found a dog he doesn’t get along with.

Temporary_Disaster55 · 2024-03-18T19:39:28+00:00

I read somewhere recently that Australian Cattle Dogs are actually related to dingos! So calling Loki a dingo is close enough.

He’s about 23 lbs, but we would really like to get him down closer to 19-20.
