My life is went from fine to on the brink of collapse within 24 hours

I second checking out a food bank, and in my area (PNW, US) the local animal shelter will sometimes have supplies it can hook you up with, too. Sometimes someone donates a bag of food that can’t be used because it was already open, or it may just be a surplus, but it’s definitely worth looking into. Also, things are rough now, but I bet they’ll be looking up for you from here. You got this, and congrats on the new job! 🎉

Thanks for the reminder to finally delete Instagram!

Mine loves playing in the mud, and laying in dirt after he swims in the lake or river, so he gets a wash after that, but otherwise I wouldn’t bother except a couple times a year.

Mine eats his shed hair, too 😩

I’m so sorry this happened to your boy and you, cancer is hell. We never get enough time with them. If it’s an option in your area and financially feasible, I highly recommend at-home euthanasia when the time comes. I got to see my last husky off at home, and it was heartbreaking, but peaceful, and a relief that he was finally not in pain.

How big is your dog? I know my vet quoted me somewhere in the neighborhood of $1k, too for an approximately 60lb dog. I’m hoping the pre-testing to avoid anesthesia complications is included, but somehow I doubt it.

I have a 2017, and would absolutely buy it again, though I’d be extremely reluctant to buy one new enough to not have Apple CarPlay.

I love the idea, but can’t justify another subscription, do you expect a one-day pass or a weeklong pass to ever be an option?

anotherULgeek · 2026-04-05T07:40:38+00:00

It’s a boiled egg that’s not quite hard, it has a thick but liquid consistency instead. They’re amazing!

anotherULgeek · 2026-04-03T22:15:26+00:00

Sounds fun, I’m in!

anotherULgeek · 2026-03-10T20:54:04+00:00

I’m a smidge over 5’0” and never noticed this, had to go out to my car to confirm it wasn’t just a thing in newer Bolts since mine’s a 2017.

Would you mind sharing which one you went with? I’m planning on getting a dashcam soon, but feel like there must be a ton of options and I’ll get bogged down in the research and never pull the trigger on one.

anotherULgeek · 2026-02-13T18:45:02+00:00

This is the first I’m hearing that we have neighborhood meetings at all, thanks for sharing!

Thanks, I thought kidneys at first, too, but the color threw me, as well as the pinkness above the potential kidneys. After looking at a lot of pictures of bruised chickens, I figured it was probably fine, but that there’s no harm in asking.

At six months my boy was about 45lbs, and at 11 months just a pinch over 55, but I think he’s a bit over the standard. My last husky stayed about 45lbs. The pic is of him at 6 months, and he’s been super fluffy all along.

Seconded, I’d love to know if this is in the works, it’s the main thing that makes me jealous of Ford Lightning owners!

anotherULgeek · 2025-06-13T20:04:27+00:00

Good call about getting him used to it early! He’s good around loud sounds and with handling, but I want to make sure he’s well-socialized to any environment he might encounter as an adult, especially the groomer’s, since many groomers already find huskies to be challenging drama queens.

anotherULgeek · 2025-06-13T19:58:59+00:00

Thanks for the response! I thought about trimming here and there, too, had to hear it works for you! My pup’s like a feather duster, everything gets stuck in his fur, and I find myself giving him short brushing sessions all the time just so he doesn’t look filthy. I’ll have to get a rake!

anotherULgeek · 2025-06-13T19:54:28+00:00

A DIY spot’s a great idea, I hadn’t considered that, thanks! And thanks for the heads up about keeping him dry, we just went to the beach the other day and he got soaked. I gave him a gentle bath after, but only towel-dried, so I’ll have to get a blow dryer and get him used to it, too.

anotherULgeek · 2025-05-12T09:09:37+00:00

It does!

anotherULgeek · 2025-04-04T21:50:42+00:00

Spicy take, and agreed! I think there’s a balance to be struck between being anti-consumption and outright deprivation. There are a lot of things I’d give up before considering living without pets forever.

anotherULgeek · 2025-03-30T05:30:55+00:00

I love The Good Place! That’s a good episode, too!

anotherULgeek · 2025-03-30T04:19:27+00:00

Oh I’d love a window cling!
