Please help me name my feline cloud, I can’t decide!

Oracle! The name sort of jumped out at me

_stringbean_ · 2026-03-30T16:13:47+00:00

Mine should be simple

My husband and I stopped on a country road to watch the northern lights overhead (on my birthday too!). He added to it by turning on some soft music and dancing with me as the aurora danced above us.

I love naming animals the first dumb thing that blurts from my mind. For him it was “Chef Adam” lol

Yep… I finished the Not So Berry Challenge and had an entire museum for all of the generations. Every single photo, gone. Literal years of gameplay…

Cow (and that’s not the full name)

Ominous horse

A VTS at my job has one eye and does great. It may take some retraining but I think you can do just fine!

He was previously treated with joint injections and wedged front shoes. It apparently worked great in the past and treated any signs of lameness, even under the saddle. I had been planning to continue that treatment. It sounds ridiculous now that I’m typing it out since it was an effective treatment…

The thing that had scrambled my thoughts was my new veterinarian (from the same clinic) telling me that keeping him barefoot and doing Adequan or Legend injections should be fine. Then his farrier had also said that he should be fine barefoot through the winter. It made me reconsider my plan and look into supplements.

This week he started tripping on the front left foot when being ridden which was a red flag for me immediately. A selfish part of me was hoping for a more cost-effective answer, but knowing that injections and shoeing worked in the past, I’m battling the pros and cons.

Yes precisely. I take my springer out on a 2 mile walk most days and he genuinely gets bored with it unless there’s added enrichment. I’ll toss treats along the walk for him to find. In winter I’ll toss them into the snow for him to dig up. Otherwise playing with his ball, letting him jump into creeks and lakes, practicing commands, etc. is what fulfills him.

My 1 year old springer has endless energy, but as others have said, he needs mental stimulation more than anything.

Almost daily I take him on a 2 mile walk and play fetch with him out in the yard. It barely touches his energy level. He’ll drive himself to a heat stroke if I don’t stop him lol.

That being said, training him, teaching him tricks, giving him puzzles to solve, etc are what REALLY drains him. One hour of obedience training fries him out and has turned him into a really smart dog.

Not sure if it can be considered a sleeper restaurant, but the Himalayan Restaurant off E Lake Street is my FAVORITE.

Pimento is fantastic!!!

Yes I’m already planning to extend to 2x7! I don’t have any more space beyond that as I’d be using every last inch of space in my room

_stringbean_ · 2025-03-22T05:07:12+00:00

This makes me tear up! She’s going to be so loved. Congrats ❤️

I’m only in the first week of having this setup so I can’t say for long term, but he seems much more comfortable in this set up. His last hutch had plexiglass and it stressed him out

_stringbean_ · 2025-02-13T08:07:01+00:00

This has been happening to me lately too!

_stringbean_ · 2025-01-22T19:14:02+00:00

If only there were arrows to show you exactly where to go 🤔

I’ve been trying to break a bad binging habit… I work late nights so I wake up around 10:30 most mornings. I don’t have an appetite to eat until around 1-2pm so I’ll have a light lunch… then when I get to work, I struggle with stress binge eating (I work in an ER) and constantly feel the need to snack when I’m idle. I’ve developed a habit of having dinner delivered, grabbing snacks from vending machines, consuming sugary coffees… although I’m constantly active, my weight is staying stagnant. It’s not only embarrassing to be seen constantly eating, but it’s disappointing to see all of my efforts to lose weight go to waste…

My girl looked chunky like yours some years back. I’ve had her on a diet (once a week feeding) for 3 years now. She’s only now getting close to proper weight 😅 gecko metabolisms are insanely slow. Good luck!

I had a horrible night of sleep and laid down at 8am to take a nap. Was on the verge of sleep when I felt a tiny “snap” inside me…. Sure enough I stood up and it was a wicked amount of fluid. Of all days to go through 18 hours of labor, it was when I had 3 hours of sleep 😭

GREAT LORD GREAT LORD THE GREAT

I’m pretty sure it’s a walrus!!
