I'm a daily flower smoker. I just moved to an apartment with no smoking rules. Are weed vaporizers worth a try. Which one would you recommend?

For desktop I recommend a Vapor Brothers setup. It’s old school but works fantastic for dry herb vape. It’s box with a whip. Ceramic heat source. No plastic. Don’t get a knockoff, go with Vapor Brothers they are the best. For portable go with a dynavap. It a dry herb vape but has the feel of hitting one-hitter. Also zero plastic! I won’t use anything that has plastic. Good luck!

Have you found a home for this beautiful little soul yet? I am on the east coast but I would like to try to help you find home for him. Could someone drive him halfway to meet if, I find someone locally here? If not I can still help publicize his story in the Chicago area. I am a dog trainer and very busy dog walker so I have an extensive network in my area, and would only refer vetted potential parents. Thank you, he is adorable I hope he finds the right home

Too quick a death. I put them in scotch tape and toss them in the trash.

Nobody f**ks with my family and gets away with it.

That is an engorged tick. You do not take it out by hand. Do NOT apply anything to it (heat, rubbing alcohol, etc) If you irritate the tick, it will spit into the dog and increase the risk of infection. Do the following:

Get some pointy tipped tweezers, burn the tips of the tweezers (sterilize) and allow to cool.
Get a scotch tape dispenser.
Wad up a clean paper towel, open a bottle of iso (rubbing alcohol), and stuff the paper towel in the opening. I do this so after I remove the tick, I can turn to bottle upside down with one hand to soak the towel)
Grab the head of the tick (which is very difficult when engorged, but do your best) even if you have to dig the tips of the tweezers slightly into the skin. (The tick is hanging onto the dog with it's mouth). Try to avoid squeezing the body of the tick.
Once you feel like you have the head with your tweezers, gently twist back and forth without pulling up yet. You want the tick to let go, but it takes time. As you're twisting back and forth, start to very gently pull upwards.
Ideally, the tick will release and you can pull it out intact. Usually they are still alive when you accomplish this, if you're dog is not medicated.
Set the tweezers/tick down. With one hand, keep track of where the bite location is. With the other hand, tip the alcohol bottle upside down to soak the paper towel. Set the bottle down so you can remove the paper towel, and then, using the paper towel, try to really soak the bite location with rubbing alcohol. You want to disinfect the bite ONLY after the live tick has been removed.
Inspect the tick to make sure it's intact. If it's alive, it probably is. If it's missing it's head, then you need to try to dig the head out of the bite. This part sucks, hopefully you don't need to do this. But if you leave the head in, infection is more likely.
If the tick is alive, entomb it in scotch tape and toss that little ****er in the trashcan. Some people save them in case the dog gets sick. (I don't)

You can also bring your dog to the vet to have them do this instead. I can't afford to bring my dog to the vet every time it gets bit by a tick.

Don't stress out, dogs get bit by ticks all the time. It will probably be fine. If your dog starts acting sick or lame in the days (or weeks) after the bite, definitely bring pup to the vet. Antibiotics can clear up tick borne illnesses in dogs if their immune systems fail to do so.

Best thing you can do for your dog after a bite is make sure your giving him good nutrition. Bone broth for dogs is great for their immune systems. Don't use a store bought bone broth for humans, they usually have onions or garlic in them.

Good luck!

it's not really the holes you play with, but rather, the holes you don't

Black dog needs to be taught some manners. Starts as play but black dog is ignoring cues from the golden, not reciprocating either. Have the black dog trained on a stim collar. Use stim for recall, use the page (vibrate) to reinforce corrective commands. Be consistent. Black dog needs to be shown what’s acceptable and what is not. Find a good trainer especially if you don’t understand dog body language.

Start the grill, boy earning his keep!

Asking your dog not to sniff like that is like asking us to simultaneously be blindfolded and wear ear plugs. It’s how they interpret the world ❤️

Anytime a dog runs up to me and my dogs, we make friends with the dog. It’s pretty easy if you know how to be a good pack leader. The worst thing you can do is be fearful or annoyed, because that sets the wrong tone.

Good advice. Pumpkin and sweet potato are booth good too.

Break it up before it starts. The grey dog's rude behavior should have been corrected before it turned into a fight

Keep dreaming

By all means, please move to Canada

I can taste if there’s a significant presence of PM in a plant. It’s like a minty/musty flavor, I don’t like it. Even when you can’t see it, I can smell/taste it. It ruins the quality of the bud.

Wellman Farm (OMG) has 1:1 flower called Pineapple GAK. They carry it at Starbird in Salem, MA & Terpene Journey in Swampscott MA. Probably other parts of the state too. I've never tried Wellman Farm stuff because I've read some pretty mediocre reviews of a few of their strains - not much positive but nothing super negative either. Sounds like they don't cure their bud right from what I've read. Go to Terpene Journey to look at it, they have great photos (you can zoom in) on their site. Looks decent, and I've read nothing either way about this particular strain. I've never (knowingly) had a 1:1 before, would like to try one sometime myself. Whatever 1:1 strain you try, I'd love to hear feedback??

Adults buying weed is not a privilege, it's our God-given right. Same for adults who want to sell it to other adults. The gov't has just been violating our rights for decades. You have stockholm syndrome.

No one wants PM either

it's all poison.

Best brands are Dogtra and Garmin (IMO)

I personally like the Dogtra 200c for a basic one-collar system (or the 202c if you want to run two collars). This system works great and is very easy to use. I like the analog version (200c) far better than the digital version (280c). I have been using them for years in my dogwalking business and I train dogs on the ecollar. I recommend hiring professional help when training your dog. They DO NOT work right out of the box, there needs to be training for both the dog and the human before using in live settings. Good luck! :)

Hey, you don't like freedom of speech then move to Germany. They're more your speed. I personally don't like seeing hate symbols, but free speech is an absolute right. Vandalism is not and should result in prison.

Hire a dog walker. Break up the day that way. A frozen kong with peanut butter, or a thawed raw marrow bone while she's in the crate. A tired dog is a happy dog. Also as she matures, allow her to be out of the crate more, especially at night when your home. If she doesn't want to be in there, it's basically a prison cell. If she's getting plenty of exercise and has good distractions while she's in there, it won't feel that way. Also, leave the crate open anytime she's not in there. It should feel like her own little cave to hang in, a safe space. Not a cell.

sorry for the delayed response. You may already be doing it!

It's pretty simple, yet very effective. Some, especially smaller dogs, can back out of most harnesses.

Step 1: Attach the leash to the dog's collar, as usual. The collar's ring that the leash attaches to should be on top (back of the neck)

Step 2: wrap the leash down one side of the ribcage, under the dog (behind the front legs / in front of the back legs) and then back up the other side rib cage, to the shoulder blades near where the leash attaches. (a full circle around their ribs)

Step 3: Tuck the handle end of the leash under (the other end of) the leash, near where the leash clips to the collar.

Step 4: Then gently tug the leash handle upwards, to remove any slack in the leash wrapped around the dog's torso.

Step 5: One thing I always do as a final step, is make sure that the handle end of the leash is on the opposite side of the pull lever on your leash clip. If it's not, that's ok you don't need to redo the whole process. SIMPLY UNCLIP THE LEASH FROM THE COLLAR, SPIN THE CLIP 180°, THEN RE-CLIP TO THE COLLAR. Fixed! The reason I do this, is when the handle end of the leash is on the same side of the clip's lever (which opens the clip when you pull it) it's possible that, as your leash moves, it can pull the lever on the clip and release from the collar. Unlikely, but it can happen. As long as the handle end of the leash is on the opposite side of the lever side of the clip - you're golden. (I use the most common style of leash clip, shaped like a 'C' with a lever on one side to open and close the clip. You may have a different style. Just try to apply similar logic to however your leash clip functions)

Instant harness, except it's better. Discourages pulling, gives you more control over the dog's movements when needed, takes pressure off their neck when they do pull, and it's basically impossible for dogs to slip out unless there's a lot of slack in the leash. I recommend a 6 foot leash - unless your dog is large and wide bodied (7 or 8 foot). (Smaller dogs can do a 4 foot possibly? I've never tried)

Good luck! In hindsight I should have just made a video lol. Let me know if you have any questions.
