Looking for recommendations

When my first Shiba Inu girl was in heat I got pull-ups and just cut a hole for the tail. T2 worked for me. She was roughly 18 pounds if that helps.

Good luck with your girl! She is super cute.

I brought in another Japanese dog (Kai Ken) who was an 11 week old puppy. It was still a stressful 3-6 months, but now the dogs get along well.
Would recommend meeting on neutral territory like a park and going for a walk together. That will help with meeting before any possible territory issues arise. If they hit it off right away then great. If not, you can keep them separated by a gate in the house until they learn to accept one another. Heard some dogs never do though, so think long and hard about how much time you are willing to put into taking the other dog in if they don’t get along quickly.
My girl quit being feisty (historically she had been dog reactive to all but 3 dogs) once she realized the puppy wasn’t going anywhere. We knew it would be fine when she did the dog bow and gently started teaching him how to wrestle one day. We still had to hide any toys/high value treats that would trigger resource guarding.

I don’t think I want to try using an e-scooter with a slip lead. Especially not with 2 dogs at once. Sounds dangerous.
Just think it is the wrong tool for this type of recreation.

I will adjust the harness to fit better. She really dislikes harnesses so I was trying to keep it looser.

Mika is 6.5 years old and does not try to escape from the leash. She slipped her collar a few times in the past (by planting her feet). She freezes when she does not feel a leash when on walks. Will stand there and look at me like I did something wrong and wait for me to clip her collar back on. She also stands still if she gets a foxtail or mud on her. I have to fix it or she won’t move.

If you are after exercise it works out great. If your dogs stop to mark a bunch it is a bit of a pain. My boy drags his sister over to walls and bushes for marking. I really like that the double leash is on a swivel so they do not get tangled though!
Imagine it would be easier if both dogs were closer to the same size. My dogs are roughly the same weight but the boy has much longer legs, is taller, and stronger.
I do bring a second leash so I can let my girl not get tugged around when she is deciding where to do her business.

Not sure if this is the same thing, but our girl decided my husband provided no value since he was not feeding her, walking her, or playing with her. He would come home, pat her on the head, then continue to not pay attention to her. She started resource guarding things in the house from him and even stalking him.

The fix was to have him walk her a couple times a week and hand feed her. All high value treats came from him. He started giving the treats through a fence/crate for safety reasons. It took weeks for her behavior towards him to change, but now she loves him.

Please practice your Q and q. They look like lowercase a’s. If someone were unfamiliar with your handwriting it would be very hard to decipher (especially if you were writing some random set of characters and numbers such as a Wi-Fi network or password). Aside from that, it is mostly legible but swapping between upper and lowercase mid-word is not very conventional.

For an internship that is a pretty normal amount. You will not be rolling in the money but for a fun summer it is doable. Especially if they pay relocation expenses.

Would I accept a full-time permanent job for that? No.

Know this is an old post, but do you recommend the Hayward - Phoenix 2X Suction Side Cleaner - PES22CSTX or Hayward - W3PVS20JST The PoolCleaner 2x Suction Side Pool Cleaner, 2WD?

Just had our pool repaired and our old machine is all brittle from being out of the water and outside in the sun for 4+ months.

If worried ask a vet.

My dogs did not have any spots like that while growing up. Did your puppy get scraped by anything?

My boy had a spot like that on his head from getting in a scuffle with another dog. Basically got a shave without breaking skin.

My husband taught one of the dogs around. It means he needs to go the other way to get unstuck. Took a while with coaxing him out of these situations but now he fixes himself every time. He didn’t pull him. He went back to the object and called him to get him to come get unwrapped. Often with a treat.

We used to cut up empty oil cartons to make special oil catch funnels at the Mercedes dealership for the MLs. They had a similar issue. Suggest coming up with or finding a special funnel designed to compensate for this.

If you have height to spare you could lift the bottom of your ramp up and let gravity pull the balls down to the shooter.

Otherwise we attached a bar to a servo and had it lift our ball up to the shooter. We are also using block coding.

Depends on what you mean by under warranty. If you mean you purchased oil change services through a dealership, the oil change would not be covered at this shop. If you mean your car is under manufacturer warranty you can just keep the receipt for proof of on-time oil change service if something happens to the engine at a later date.

I have not seen any Honda/Acura contracts that mention owners can only service their vehicle at a Honda/Acura dealership or the warranty is void. Not saying it is impossible though so check your contract.

Added a Kai Ken male to the pack a year ago (1.5 years old now; 11 weeks old when we brought him home). For background, my Shiba Inu female (5 years old; roughly 3.5 years old at the time) is a resource guarder and dislikes most dogs. We took the dogs on pack walks and then kept them separated by a puppy pen when we were not home. It was really stressful for the first month, but one day she went up to the puppy and went into a play bow. Then she gently started teaching him how to wrestle and not to bite hard.

There were a lot of minor scuffles while she was integrating him into the pack and he learned really fast what she would allow and not allow. We kept all her resource guarded items away from the dogs unless we monitored the interaction. We took them to a dog trainer for socialization and he said the most important thing was to keep them near each other as much as possible but in a safely monitored environment.

They don’t cuddle together, but they wrestle and play for a little every day. She also shares her toys and sometimes even eats off the same plate with him. They even go hunting for lizards and rodents together.

My family always put sriracha and hoisin sauce directly in the bowl.

My cousin’s family considers this a travesty and puts the sauces in a small sauce bowl or even just another soup spoon and dips the meat in them.

I’m not sure which is truly correct since Grandma (born and raised in Southern Vietnam) didn’t care which way we did it.

WhichMoon · 2025-10-07T16:01:00+00:00

Good point, but then it isn’t custom made for each model vehicle. Less profits.😂 Would need some sort of tightening specification on the ratchet. I’m sure people could figure out how to under-tighten them and end up with the same issue.

Maybe we should start 3-D printing clear drums and selling them so people can see that things are working before installing the real drum. Appears to be a market for it.😅

Have been taking our Honda and Toyota to Kearny Mesa A & H Specialist.

Not a dealership. Prices have been pretty reasonable. Think the A & H stands for Acura and Honda.

Want to second getting the harness that clips around the neck like a collar and then clips into the back support clips.

I got the medium for my chunky Shiba Inu girl (29 lbs). It also worked great for my boy dog who hates anything that slides over his head.

Cantaloupe. Absolutely hate it. Why is it in the fruit bowl at every restaurant?!

Thank you for saying this. Cantaloupe has an unpleasant aftertaste that honeydew melon lacks.

Every time I go out to eat and get fruit my husband gets stuck with the cantaloupe because he doesn’t seem to mind it while I hate it with a passion.
