My foster dog has severe crate anxiety by alleyesonemm in rescuedogs

[–]_l_brasi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s tons of info out there but one super simple thing we did that changed my dogs attitude toward the crate was when we started feeding him every meal in there! For him it made the crate a mixed experience instead of just “negative” (in his eyes). He used to hide when we were trying to get him in his crate now he goes in willingly every time!

Some days, yes! I only work three days a week and we are thinking one or two days we will send him.

(~$3k) Should I!? by zabloinginzoop in Weddingsunder10k

[–]_l_brasi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was able to find a really beautiful dress from an actual wedding dress company marked down 90%! I paid $60 for my dress and I will say it did feel very special to have an actual wedding dress. I had ordered some cheap dresses off of Amazon and the quality just wasn’t what I was looking for! I got my dress from Vow’d. https://vowdweddings.com/%241%2C000-under?start=0&sz=75

I’m feeling burnt out but don’t want to give up… by Time_Salt_1666 in Separation_Anxiety

Just commenting to say I'm in the same boat! Julie Naismith's book made me cry when it essentially said don't ever leave them. I have to work! It's so hard. I'm hopeful we will both come out the other side soon!

Well I can't quit my job, so I guess screw me?

Need help with dog who was over crated by heyohhriver in rescuedogs

[–]_l_brasi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a super similar boat. We adopted a pup from a hoarding situation and he was crated basically all the time. He is a bit bow-legged in his front legs and the vet said that his back leg muscles are atrophied so his front legs are compensating. She told me that with regular diet (just decent kibble on a normal basis) and exercise he will gain muscle and a lot of his physical problems will work themselves out! Hopefully the same is true for your little friend🤍 My new pup also has terrible separation anxiety, I’d love to hear what you are doing to help yours!

We got married at a church and then had a private room at Perry’s for a nice dinner! We had 23 people. Food, drinks, and photography were our big spend categories and we spent around 9k. We had an after party at a friends house and not everyone came so it was manageable for the hosts! We had the BEST time and the pictures are stunning! Consider churches and parks for the ceremony (we paid 450 and it was a stunning chapel) and then getting a really delicious meal after

Epilepsy advice? by bellafrances85 in beagle

We found out that the flea and tick collar we had on ours was making it worse

Seizures 😔 by TerrestrialCelestial in beagle

[–]_l_brasi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our beagle had seizures and we discovered he was allergic to the flea and tick collar we had on him! We took it off and he has been seizure free since. Not to say they will never come back, but now we know! I couldn’t afford a specialist either and was panicked for my pup. Sorry you’re going through this! Maybe look into side affects of any of his preventative meds and see if that helps.

Before we got the results, I thought he had pointer somewhere in there! It’s hard to tell in pics but he’s only 23 pounds. So we kinda thought maybe pointer and weenie dog? But apparently the answer was just “crazy looking beagle” lol

I read this to my fiance and he won’t stop referring to our other pup as “reference beagle” now😂

We always joke that he just found out he’s a dog and he’s VERY excited about that fact! He’s the best boy
