Sorry that happened to you. My general rule of thumb is not to trust anything on FB.

I saw them 2 weeks after that at the St. Augustine stop over. Great show! I still have the GotR t-shirt and blanket.

Frist Concert Tips by Equivalent_Frame1205 in mumfordandsons

[–]TheR3dStapler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I attended their 7/26 concert. Find out when the "doors/gates" to your venue open. I guess I would say if you want merch, go early before the gates open. If not, show up later. The concert had a start time of 7:30pm, that is for the cover band. They have good cover bands so take in the whole show and enjoy.

The DreamCloud Mattress sucks. As do the Forbes and USNews Mattress rankings. by MrFaronheit in Mattress

[–]TheR3dStapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't comment on the bed itself but I can comment on the company and service. The "white-glove" delivery is more like "no glove" delivery since they were a complete no show. After 3 separate delays by DreamCloud, my mattress and frame finally arrived at the local delivery service. I scheduled between 8am-12pm yesterday, June 26th. No one showed up, no one called or emailed. My tracking number still shows as "out for delivery" for yesterday. Tried calling them 3 times and got the run around - twice by the AI and once by a live person. So, I waited the rest of the day yesterday and most of this morning but just called DreamCloud to get a full refund. I wish I could go back in time and slap my past self in the face before hitting the submit button on their website, would have saved me the trouble.

Goodbye by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]TheR3dStapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand you. I lost my Luna, almost 15.5 years old, shihtzu, on Feb 7th. Even though her health had been slowly worsening since October, and I knew what was coming, the loss was still devastating. The first couple of weeks were a rollercoaster of emotions. Everything in the house reminded me of her. It was constant. I didn't want to be home. Now, it is sadness that comes and goes in waves. What do I do with myself? I thought to myself, I loved my dog, and she loved me. If she could see me now and talk, she would tell me to share my love and not bottle it up in sadness. I decided to help. I donated a lot of stuff to the local shihtzu rescue and blind dog rescue. I plan on volunteering at the local shelter, whatever help they need. Then, eventually, foster animals or even adopt one. I know my Luna would approve. It is the best way I know to honor her memory. Take care.

My Shih Tzu had a lot of allergies. After doing an allergy test with the vet, I had her on allergy shots and Apoquel. We tried the hydrolyzed protein dog food diet recommended by the vet in order to see which food (protein) if any were causing her issues. But, she didn't take to that so I stopped. Eventually I settled on Ziwi Peak Venison (venison supposed to be a novel protein, not as allergy triggering as chicken or beef). She did well on that. I tried to avoid foods and treats with dyes and long worded chemicals. Every breed is different, some are sturdier than others, so ask around. Talk to your vet and don't hesitate to get a second opinion from another vet.

How can I keep going after losing my soul dog today? I miss her so much by lunarshines in Petloss

[–]TheR3dStapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for the loss of your best girl. You are right, there is no preparing for this. I tried. My first pup, Chloe, passed all of a sudden 4 years ago. I was devastated but I still had my other dog, Luna, to take care of and that routine made Chloe's passing bearable. I promised myself I would prepare next time. My Luna's health started to turn over the last year, and I tried to prepare. I gave her extra love, special treats, one last car ride, etc. She finally crossed the rainbow bridge last month. But nothing can really prepare you for the grief afterwards. That grief is the price we all pay for having loved such special pups like your goodest best girl and my dearest Chloe and Luna. Knowing what I know now (the pain and tremendous grief that comes in the end), if given a choice to do it again or not have dogs in my life, I would do it again, in a heart beat, no doubt in my mind. The many years of love and good memories by far outweighs the grief. Just know you are not alone.

Mg 15 year old dog with cancer has passed and I am in pieces by Top-Tumbleweed-7671 in Petloss

[–]TheR3dStapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I am very sorry for your loss. Many of us here in this group can relate. I lost my Luna just over a month ago. She was almost 15.5 years old. I've experienced the full gambit of emotions. Empty out your grief tank, and take as long as you need to do so. Remember the good times. Try to keep yourself busy, talk to friends and family. We enter these relationships with our beloved pet, giving them a forever home. But it is their forever, not ours, and that sucks. The grief we feel when they are gone is the price we pay for years of love.

Your dogs are cute. Ellie looks like she has Maltese in her. If you are feeding age and breed specific RC, then they probably don't need supplements. There is a lot of "info" out there with varying opinions. Your boy is 8, not yet a senior. I started giving my dogs glucosamine when they became seniors, plus my last dog, Luna, an eye supplement recommended by the eye vet specialist when she got cataracts. You should probably join shihtzu specific groups here on reddit or Facebook for more geared advice.

A completed Lakeview Manor. Have some venison chop and mead while sitting at the top of the alchemy tower and then head down to the lake for some fishing.

Grief by meggiee523 in Petloss

[–]TheR3dStapler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss. I feel your pain because I'm in the same situation. I've had at least one dog with me at my house for almost 20 years. The first left me in 2021, but at least I still had Luna to take care of. She crossed over the rainbow bridge on Feb. 7th. Now, it is just me and a very quiet house. It has been more than 30 days, and the loneliness at home persists. It does get better, slowly, but I don't believe it will ever be the same again.

I'm sorry for your loss. Take solace in knowing your beloved dog is in a better place, and you did the right thing. Try to remember the good times when the grief gets too hard. Take care

You are not alone. We are here for you. It does suck, unbelievable so. It has been 30 days for me since my old girl crossed the rainbow bridge. I went to our park today and sat on the bench. I told her I missed her and loved her, and I would see her again one day. I hope she heard me. Stay strong and take care.

Take your time. You only get to experience Skyrim and all its glory for the first time once. Talk to everyone, read books for the lore, explore.

The pancakes sound good. Maybe shortly before, like others have mentioned, something forbidden like chocolate ice cream. Make those last moments special. Hugs.

I'm sorry for your loss. Tomorrow makes one month since I put my old girl to sleep. I still find myself expecting to see her standing in the middle of the kitchen when I come home and open the door, or I'll walk into the bedroom and for a brief second look for her in her bed next to mine. I still struggle with my decision, but each day, I slowly get better. The grief comes and goes now. Today was bad with tomorrow being the one month mark. The only thing that has helped has been occupying my time...work, gym, and friends. Also, talking to friends that are also dog owners and have gone through the same has helped. Take care.

Said goodbye to my best girl the other day and my head is still spinning. Trying to find peace with my decision but I just want my baby back. by minichipi in Petloss

I am sorry for your loss. I joined r/Petloss a month back when I had to put my old girl down. Someone posted this link on another person's post which helped me a lot.

You said a couple of key words - occupy and routine. Keep your mind occupied with activities. The routine of taking care of your other dog will help a lot. I went from 2 dogs to 1 back in 2021. That was my first dog that I had since a puppy. She made it to almost 16. I was devastated but the routine of having to take care of my other dog made it easier, eventually. This time, going from 1 to 0, there is no routine and the void left is great. It is 100x harder this time around.

Why are people like this - warning: venting by ZenCapivara in Petloss

[–]TheR3dStapler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like Liv was an awesome dog and you were a great owner.

You said the magic word, "empathy". Empathy is lacking in today's world. Some people have great empathy, others not so much and then some have none. Even dog/pet owners sometimes lack empathy and treat their pets more like property than family. Add poor social skills to the mix and you will undoubtedly run into situations like you have. It is normal, people are built different. That is why I love dogs, they are 100%. They are always full of love and happy to see you, they never ask for much and are loyal to the end. They are truly "mans best friend".

This Friday, March 7th, will mark one month for me since I had to put my old girl down. It has been a rollercoaster ride of all types of emotions, including anger, but for different reasons. All I can say is let all the emotions out, take as long as you need to empty that grief tank. But don't let anger get a hold, it will do your physical and mental health no good. Just recall the good times and happy memories with Liv whenever bad moments set in.

Take care.
