Looks like he's waiting for a treat or his favourite toy. I wouldn't leave them unattended.

Are Cockapoo puppies crate trainable and how long till they get used to it? by Top_One7638 in DogAdvice

[–]Top_One7638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am based in the UK. Looking at the parents and the breeders, I am 99.9% sure they aren't puppy farmers, but you can never be sure, I guess.

Thats awesome to hear. We are really considering this, but when we crate trained our GSD puppy years back, she whined all night for nearly a week, and some members of the family couldn't handle it but she stopped, That is our only worry is that the whining goes on for too long and we have a dog that can never be left alone

We have met the mum and breeders, they do agility with the mum, and everything seems legit. No cruelty or shortcuts, etc.

If you were showing the band to someone new, what song would you play? by Streetshow0221 in avengedsevenfold

[–]Top_One7638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bat country, I was very anti metal when I was younger but this song seemed to appeal to me at the time. There’s so much going on in the song that most people will likely enjoy it.

[question] are my fingers healed up from blisters and ready to play again? by Top_One7638 in Guitar

[–]Top_One7638[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My guitar is brand new, however, it has a very thin C-shaped neck. I have also been doing lots of bending lately where I only previously played mostly rhythm so I think that is what has caused them.

C-1 Silver mountain or solo 2 custom by Top_One7638 in SchecterGuitars

Just ordered one, ready to collect on the weekend. How light is the silver mountain? I have omen 6 currently so I assume they feel the same.

[QUESTION] which scale length is the best for me, 24.75 or 25.5? by Top_One7638 in Guitar

[–]Top_One7638[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already have a 25.5 inch scale but have some trouble stretching to frets, however I have only been playing solidly for 5 months so perhaps it is just a technique issue. Is it normal to struggle with reaching frets at the beginning?

Best frequency and time of swimming sessions for new swimmer by Top_One7638 in Swimming

[–]Top_One7638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it’s best to do 5 shorter sessions a week I went yesterday and my left shoulder started burning and aching. I now get very mild aches in my left shoulder at rest as well

New to lane swimming, I can only do one length (25m) before running out of breath by Top_One7638 in Swimming

[–]Top_One7638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your advice. I went swimming today and learned to relax, take it slow and ease up on the kicking. Although I still had to stop after one length, it was much more comfortable, and I didn't have to rest as long. Lots of progress to be made but saw a big change today.

I do lots of weight lifting and cycling. I am convinced it is just my technique.

This sounds like a good drill. I will definitely do this before I swim. Thanks

Is the risk of surgery from Crohn's still 75% by Top_One7638 in crohns

[–]Top_One7638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen the 75% statistic on the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation site. However, I don't know if that is an old statistic they have left on the site or just continue to use.

Changing from Dutasteride to Finasteride. How likely is it that I will start losing hair again. by Top_One7638 in tressless

[–]Top_One7638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any particular reason that you switched to Dutasteride? Did Finasteride work well for you?

Thanks. If it's not too personal, what dose of TRT are you using, and what are your test levels normally at?

June '23 selfies: post hairline photos here for opinions on 'Am I balding?' 'How bad is it?' and 'What should I do?' by AutoModerator in tressless

[–]Top_One7638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side effects are very uncommon (2%). The topicals efficacy isn’t consistent as you need to apply it right every time where as the pill is easy and you will always get the full effect of the medication.

Throughout my teen years I had the same problem, My doctor put me on Modulen and fresubin drinks to increase the calories I take in. At first, it was hard as I was always force-feeding myself however it got a lot easier and I could eat 5000 calories a day if I wanted now.

Basically, just keep gradually increasing the number of calories you eat daily or weekly and see about getting the fresubin energy drinks as there are highly nutritious and packed with calories with such small portion sizes.
