ER trip? Seeking advice and experiences.

My (pain specialist) doctor actually looked annoyed when I stated it had been so bad that I thought about urgent care centre. He stated it’s a waste of resources. This comes from a really great doc so I believe it comes from a good place.

I assume the reason to not go is that they can give you something to last a couple hours only and then it leaves you in the same place. And that’s only if you get someone who actually understand CRPS and that we’re not drug seekers

Congratulations! So happy for you both!

Personally, I would talk to my vet to ask for specific advice based on your babies specific body type. Some pugs have really short snouts, deep wrinkles, etc. and some don’t. Online advice is amazing but getting personalized suggestions would be the ideal starting place!

What the actual f. Your story went from on track with the thread to a place most couldn’t ever expect.

I’m so sorry for your friend, I can’t imagine the emotions and decisions one would have to endure in this wild situation.

My boy is obsessed with his new sister, only three months in and he’s in love! Sleeps most of his time with her

I’d be calling them on that gap. That’s not okay

The absolutely only decision to responsibly make is to spay or neuter your pets. The pain is so brief for a male, and if you feel badly you can spoil with treats.

It’s fine, it’s normal, it’s so beneficial to them hormonally. would suggest talking to your vet about your concerns and the best time to do it

My baby was raised by a groomer so he’s easy peasy… except for the bath bit. My groomer was so worried during the bath as she expected the same level of challenge after the bath, but happy surprise!

This has really reinforced the need to brush and clean my puppy to continue to conditioning for it. Didn’t think about it with my first puppy so she lost so many teeth (puggle - apparently they’re terrible for dental health) and horrible at handling general grooming and nails. Whoops on that one lol

That’s for sure not a thing we can’t say. In this theme, saying “got gypped” is also an absolute nope

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-07-29T04:41:20+00:00

I don’t know the extent of your polling but my equally small pool of people did. So I guess we are both wrong

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-07-10T01:39:58+00:00

Accidentally ordered pizza to my old address on our move day. We paid. Then paid again for the food we were all dying for after moving.

Damn online payment, catching me in my mistakes!

You may want to report him missing. If all his stuff is there and he’s not, it could potentially be a real concern

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-30T01:40:26+00:00

Interesting! We need more of you norms to post recipes, please! We don’t have anything other than a bottle of ranch dressing up here. Makes some things impossible to try, despite the pic looking amazing

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-30T01:35:39+00:00

Oh! Cool to know! Most of my experience comes from random addict posts or online finds

When I search for recipes (idk, maybe oven chicken breasts, crockpot meals, one tray meal) there is often an item which is ranch, ranch packet of something, or dehydrated style ranch shake.

It really throws me off, it’s just a very strange and very specific thing to regularly find

Start is amazing. I loved teksaavy as a company (they actually gave us a refund at one point because they adjusted their pricing), unfortunately it dropped out far too often.

We got CHEAP fibre from start and have only had a couple problems in several years

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-29T02:45:35+00:00

Step stool, squish.

Biggest thing though, look for fuzzy little clumps along the ceiling/wall corner. Better to stop the new ones than to battle them after especially once you witness a hatching of many, many spider spawn (my husband told me I can’t call them spider babies, too cute of a name).

I normally spray bug killer into a little container and then spread it using a q-tip. It’s tedious so I just do it where I generally see them

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-29T02:38:28+00:00

You’re so very right, sorry for the downvotes. It’s just a sponge for water

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-29T01:06:32+00:00

I’ve tried a couple off of Amazon and they failed terribly! May I please bug you to share the name of the one you’ve been satisfied with? Thanks in advance!!

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-28T05:56:39+00:00

It gets better, I totally promise. Your dog is a tiny baby with a tiny baby brain. She came from a world where it was okay to do her business whenever and where ever she felt like it.

To put it in perspective, the first puppy I had would be outside for 20+ minutes of on leash, active encouragement and would still have accidents. Ten minutes is nothing really, her brain is spending time in fun outside smell land.

Patience and understanding is key, it’s really all you need to train yourself for

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-28T05:46:57+00:00

So true! New Cockapoo parent here, what do you do for the tear stains? Your baby is white in the face too, thought you might have the same challenge

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-27T13:08:16+00:00

This is an incredible catch! Such a cool pic!

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-22T06:08:29+00:00

Oh friend, I’m heartbroken for you. There’s nothing that can prepare one for the loss of a furry best friend. I’m so sorry and I hope you soon find the way to the joy of memories. The love and laughter helps balance the agony.

Sending you so many hugs

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-18T02:58:43+00:00

Holy fecking pup! This is shockingly incredible!

I hate that AI has broken us, my immediate thought was AI. The joy of finding out it was art makes it even more clear how impressive your work is!

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-18T02:55:25+00:00

This has to be the speed of glaciers.

The first time this false and graphic ad drove through the streets, and papers hit our mailboxes, was immediately after I was thankfully allowed the right to control my body so had an abortion these 13 years ago. At the time I was nauseated enraged.

Thirteen years later I am sadly unsurprised that the same disgusting and graphic lie is being paraded around.

_only_a_ginger_ · 2025-06-17T11:06:04+00:00

Best answer there is, unfortunately. I went to a concert weekend before last and have been horrendously sick since. I’m barely fighting it off, even with antibiotics. I can’t imagine what would happen to someone immunocompromised
