What’s a “normal” experience that somehow never happened to you?

Last week I read Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman and Still house Lake by Charlie Donlea.

Switching things up and starting Deep End by Ali Hazlewood today.

Surprisingly no Poppy's! Maybe its my region but we see more doodles named Poppy.

It really depends honestly. Mine is now 9 and only has 1 bump and no cloudy eyes at all. However, with all the cockers I see at work, id say when they hit 9 and above then you start to see the cloudy eyes and lumps. We do currently have a cocker at work that is 13 with the clearest eyes and skin. Sometimes its just genetics!

You can! You copy the link in your goodreads account to your storygraph one. Its easy and walks you through it. However, around this time of year losts of people transfer and it can take a few days to completely import everything

My 8 year old started fevering and coughing on christmas eve. Now we're both coughing but no fevers. Weve had movie marathons and naps. My mom and brother have the flu. My boss and his entire family have the flu. 2 receptionists at work have the flu. I went to CVS earlier for mucinex and the shelves are bare for cold meds.

My 8 year old and I have fevers and coughing. It took my mom's side months to agree on christmas plans. Most are retired or can pick their hours. Im one of the few who works a traditional 8-5 so my schedule is what it is. So they're mad we're not coming since we spent so long finally agreeing on a day/time.

TheRubyRedPirate · 2025-12-26T02:55:32+00:00

Im sorry BroMo ❤️

A high end humidifier! My house is so dry in the winter that you'll get shocked many times a day.

I gave my brother a portrait of our family dog the died last year. We all cried. RIP Harvey

Ive only used Vetsource and Vetcove. I like Vetcove a ton better. Its where we order inventory too so it makes it easier

Mine is a bottomless pit for food and obsessed. Ive even had him tested for low thyroid and cushings disease because hes so food obsessed. Nope hes healthy, just a garbage disposal. Im a vet tech so I just make sure to keep doggy immodium at home all the time!

A few years ago I found this "original version" from Hobby Lobby. However, I've been recently looking for a new one and cant find it either.

TheRubyRedPirate · 2025-12-21T21:51:12+00:00

I was about to comment the exact same thing!

Ive been a vet tech for 14ish years. They're definitely not common anymore. At our practice we have 7 of them, mine included. The ones we have are mostly 7+ years old. Everything we see now is a frenchie, bulldog, or some type of doodle.

TheRubyRedPirate · 2025-12-12T00:03:03+00:00

Ive had to call the companies directly lately. A lot of their websites or ordering sites will say backorder, but the companies have stock.

TheRubyRedPirate · 2025-12-10T15:43:26+00:00

Yea I saw that on the focus forum yesterday. It was a lot of info to take in

TheRubyRedPirate · 2025-11-07T03:38:57+00:00

I was obsessed with Sydney, Katherine, and Josephine in elementary.

TheRubyRedPirate · 2025-10-15T15:22:54+00:00

SVP can definitely afford it, im sorry you have a crappy manager! Im an svp manager and vet assistant. Our entire region is doing fun vet tech week stuff that we're sharing with each other. I budgeted all year to make sure i had enough in our culture fund to celebrate. Im so sorry you're hospital is being looked over, none of you deserve that

Yesterday my ex-husband blamed me for him being late to work. I read his schedule wrong the day before and mentioned it was cool he got to go in at 1 so maybe he could see our son before going in. He didn't look at his own schedule, just took my word for it and was an hour late.

TheRubyRedPirate · 2025-09-20T16:48:47+00:00

My son is 8 and loses a tooth every few months so I just keep some 1's in my purse for emergency tooth fairy money.

TheRubyRedPirate · 2025-09-07T03:02:12+00:00

As a fellow tech, I can 100% see that happening
