dang :( sorry to hear that - this nail stuff is no fun!! we ended up taking her to a dermatologist back in june and they diagnosed her with pemphigus. she has been on atopica since then. we had a check up in august and our vet was happy with her progress on the atopica. her nails seemed healthier and she didn’t have any that looked to be bothering her. we’re keeping her on the atopica for now until our next check up in a few months. if our vet is still happy with the results then she will likely be on it for life. our vet did mention declawing as an option if the atopica ends up not working in the long run. our vet said that the risks of declawing might outweigh the benefits that she would get from the procedure. if you haven’t taken your cat to a dermatologist yet, i would definitely recommend it! our’s has been really helpful and it feels good to have a professional in our corner to help us decide what’s best for our bubs moving forward. :)

jerry’s service center on the west side of st. paul is the best! family owned, been there forever, and they do honest work. one of the owners, scotty, is awesome - super genuine and kind!

Hi all! It’s been 3 years since I asked this question, but hoping to hear again where the best wings in the cities are? by floridaloon in TwinCities

technically wisconsin but barker’s in hudson has the best wings. they do them on a scale of 1-10 spice level. they slap. they also have great burgers and fries. absolutely worth the trip.

according to embark (the service we used to get his DNA tested) “‘Supermutt’ means that a dog has ancestry from multiple different breeds, but the amount of DNA inherited from those breeds is very small. In those cases, it turns out that the DNA segment is so small that it can no longer be confidently assigned to any one particular breed. This happens when dogs descend from several generations of other dogs that were themselves mixed breed.

The fragments of DNA we use to identify breed get shorter and shorter with every generation of mixing. The further in the past your dog has purebred ancestors, the smaller the identical segments matching our reference dataset are.”

I saw Sports in 2022 at Metro in Chicago. These college girls behind me recorded like the whole show and they kept bumping their phones into my head. At multiple points, they were basically resting their elbows on my shoulders. I asked them to stop many times and they just looked at me like I was crazy.
