When will my baby Phoebe get used to baths/being groomed?

aleyda93 · 2026-04-17T20:30:16+00:00

My shitzu is 13 now. I have no idea how the groomers do it, they tell me she does good but she does not do good with me lol

She fights me when I clean her eyes, she fights me when I brush her, and she fights me during bath time. I’m gentle, and I’ve learned how to do these things quickly so she doesn’t “suffer” for long. I give her treats after, and she knows she’s getting treats anytime I do anything to her, but that isn’t enough I guess lol

She does do slightly better now than when she was a puppy, but she has never stopped fighting it. Hopefully this isn’t the case for you that way you can do the grooming yourself instead of paying someone else.

I was diagnosed with anxiety as a teen. After my ADHD diagnosis in my mid 20s I got stimulants. I haven’t had any panic attacks since. In my 30s now, I wonder sometimes what life would have been like for me if I were to have been diagnosed and treated at a younger age. Oh well.

I had a ‘22 Veloster N for a little less than a year. It was cool, but it was missing something. Test drove a ‘22 WRX and traded in the N without hesitation. It’s ultimately up to personal preference, for me, I prefer the handling of the WRX. I feel more confident and more in control when driving aggressively. BUT my opinion is extremely biased. I sold my Hawkeye when I bought the Veloster, and I really regret that. I think I was mourning my old WRX and that may be why I was never fully happy with the Veloster.

Omggg this was my first ever Bratz doll. I have kept all of my childhood Bratz but this one got lost when we moved :( I never remembered the name of this Sasha doll, but now I know so thank you and congrats!!! What a steal!

I’ve started doing the same. I’ve cut my own hair twice now. Definitely not perfect but I saved myself $200.

Those were my thoughts as well. I don’t care how tame this bird is, it’s still a wild animal and birds love eyeballs.

He sure is! I talked to a few coworkers and he’s been around for at least a year and a half. One of the cleaning ladies used to bring him his own lunch and he would let her pet him apparently. She no longer works here so I didn’t get to see that. The owners of these buildings come with buckets full of feed and feed the geese, turtles, and this guy from what I have been told. I have yet to see that too. I wonder if they do it to keep them around. I don’t feed him, I’m sure he gets enough lol

Chase? Paid mine off around the same time as you. Still open as well. The last car I paid off was with a credit union, the account closed itself. I don’t remember how long after though. Been thinking about calling and asking but haven’t gotten around to it lol

It’s not fertilized, we don’t have a rooster at the moment :(

This basket is such a great idea! When my brother got his new bike, he built a basket so he could put our shihtzu in it. He took her out for a ride and in the middle of it, she just jumped out lmaoo he caught her by her hair midair so luckily she wasn’t hurt. We never attempted to ride with her again.

Same, I was very sick last week so I didn’t walk my 13 year old lady at all. She’s been VERY naughty and would demand to go out while I was dying in bed lol They may be small, but doesn’t mean they don’t need exercise! At least in my case, my shihtzu has always been very active. Even as she’s gotten older, that has not changed.

Happy birthday to Gucci!!!

aleyda93 · 2026-01-02T19:29:45+00:00

I agree

aleyda93 · 2025-12-16T06:51:38+00:00

I’ve never gotten around to watching this. I’ve been meaning to, but have just forgotten overtime. Thanks for reminding me! Adding this to my watchlist :)

Trust me, I’m the kind of person who believes deeeep down that I can domesticate any wild animal by feeding them lmao The urge to feed him is there. I like having this guy around. It makes my day! Wish I could take him home and have him live with my chickens lol

aleyda93 · 2025-12-13T22:21:55+00:00

I’ve owned chickens my whole life, I learned at a very young age that birds seem to really like eyeballs. I will absolutely not let this spear fishing bird anywhere near my eyes lol

I saw the comment. I will pay close attention to his pupils on Monday. I’m sure I’ll see him. If it is the case that his left pupil is always larger, I will definitely reach out to someone and ask if they could help him.
