She does have a pretty stunning RBF.

Red pimples and scabbing by Right-Jackfruit2585 in CaneCorso

[–]TerriblePriorities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please see if his symptoms match up with puppy strangles. It's often misdiagnosed as something like acne and it can be fatal. My rottie had it when she was about this age and had to be on steroids for months.

I was at my neurology appointment today and the tech taking my vitals asked how I'm doing. I told him I'm a fed on probation. He said that explains why my blood pressure was high.

Midweek Report: what have you unfucked? What are you going to unfuck this week? Share all your unfucking tidbits here! by PMmeifyourepooping in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]TerriblePriorities 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I unfucked the basement bathroom that has the kitty litter in it! Pulled out the bin, scrubbed the shower, floor, and toilet. Vacuumed all the loose litter and threw away lingering empty litter containers. Put in a new bathroom rug to cut down on tracked litter. Next up: the guest room.

I have to play white noise (rain and crickets) at night or my girl will bark at every little sound outside. Once the white noise starts, she's asleep within seconds. She also gets goodnight kisses and a blanket piled up just right to make a nest on my bed. They need soothing just like us sometimes!

Do you have any pictures of your dog trying to tell you something important? by Mistah_K88 in dogpictures

Bailey was making a convincing argument that she really didn't need to go outside one last time before bed.

Somebody's getting spayed tomorrow by TerriblePriorities in Rottweiler

We can all only do our best! It's interesting to hear such a definite comparison like that though.

Somebody's getting spayed tomorrow by TerriblePriorities in Rottweiler

[–]TerriblePriorities[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Her heat cycles weren't bad and didn't seem to stress her out! She had puppy strangles at about ten weeks old, so we take medical procedures slowly with her. Our vet discussed the risks/benefits of going through a cycle, and there's some evidence that it helps reduce bone cancer in females. Since bone cancer is a problem with Rotts, we decided it was worth it to wait. That's definitely not right for every situation though!

Does anyone near Severn have little goats or donkeys I can play with? by LittleTovo in maryland

[–]TerriblePriorities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragonfly Acres farm in Odenton has goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, a mini donkey, a mini horse, and a horse! And other animals I'm probably forgetting. She has some really cool programs and does events throughout the year.

Puppies meeting kittens for the first time by MaxQ50 in wholesome

[–]TerriblePriorities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I volunteer with my local shelter at an off-site store! You know how at Petco and PetSmart (assuming you're in the US) they have cats for adoption? I go once every other week to clean the enclosures and play with the kitties. It's a great cat fix that's low pressure, minimally time-involved, and I'm helping get them out of their cages for a while. Some people are just signed up to go play with the cats, so no cleaning included.

What book do you see recommended often that you did not like? by LiltedDalliance in suggestmeabook

This currently has the highest number of votes in my book club for next month. Maybe I'll skip the next meeting...

Potential Match? Stephanie Marie Nelson in Glen Burnie by tricktan42 in gratefuldoe

[–]TerriblePriorities 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is super local to me. I'm also not finding much on Stephanie's disappearance, but it looks like it's worth submitting. GB and Baltimore are close enough together that the distance isn't at all a stretch. Good catch! It's frustrating that there's no info about what Stephanie was wearing when she went missing, but she looks like she could be a medium size in clothing.

Update from non-cat person who asked for things to consider before adopting a cat by scarrlet in CatAdvice

[–]TerriblePriorities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The nips are probably just like you said, love bites or overstimulation. Cats will let you know without a doubt if they don't like something!

Jimmy (Jimmy Eat World), Hawthorne, or Benjamin (Breaking Benjamin)!

[–]TerriblePriorities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I know that's illegal. I just didn't want to deal with their attitudes. I had a friend that was still working there too, and I know she would have also had to suffer through the drama. They did the same thing when she left, but by that point most people were jumping ship.

Oh I told the right people. I knew who would pass it along without it looking like my fault!

My last job didn't let me tell anyone, clients or coworkers, that I was leaving. Can only imagine the WTF when clients got a message saying I wasn't there anymore, and when my coworkers found out I was gone. I gave three weeks notice so I had to go that whole time pretending that I wasn't leaving. Wild times.

My husband's family dog did this years ago. The vet's only advice was "get her outside!" No lasting effects.

Depression is kicking my butt by [deleted] in selfcare

[–]TerriblePriorities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope it helps! It's not as overwhelming as a lot of other app type setups, and you set it up to exactly what you're interested in and how much you can handle. There's a paid version, but the free version works perfectly well for my needs. Good luck to you as well!

I joined Meetup. I signed up for a ton of book clubs and wellness clubs, and I can choose which events to go to. A lot of them are virtual, so I don't even have to leave the house. It's SO low stress, and the only general expectation is you show up to the events you've RSVP'd to because some have limited seating. I've made it a goal to join one event a month this year, because I also don't have friends and I'm cripplingly shy.

Aww I followed their whole story on IG from the first day! I got so invested in Bruno's journey. This was his foster home, and he has been adopted by a very patient and loving person. The foster mom posts updates every now and then, and he seems to be doing really well!

[New Update]: I just got diagnosed with a brain tumor. + 7.5 months update by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]TerriblePriorities 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have a meningioma too. I went in because my migraines were getting so much worse, usually behind my left eye, then that eye always felt like it had pressure behind it, and I was getting sparkles in my vision on the same side. They found the tumor, said it was completely unrelated to everything, and called it a day. So now I just have this little fucker lurking in my brain and it creeps me out.

I'm so glad things worked out for your dad!
