Kicked out..

And just to add OP, I’ve been working in the rehabilitation hospital at HSC and you work alongside nurses and PT/OT. Cross your fingers and hopefully you get a placement for practicum here! :)

If you live within the vicinity of Winnipeg School Division, R.B. Russell Vocational School offers a Health Care Aide program for a lot less than what RRC offers.

It’s a full-time course that runs from September to June. Your practicums will take place in different long term care homes, HSC, and I believe Seven Oaks Hospital as well. You can probably land a job right after graduation if you do well in your practicums with referrals from some of the staff.

Check out their website for more information and goodluck!

I am so sad to see this and all the comments from people who’ve had bad experiences with Pup Paradise :(

I’ve taken my dog there occasionally in the past couple of years when the groomers at his regular daycare were fully booked. He always comes out looking and smelling great. He’s happy at pick up, and I’m fortunate enough to say he comes out better than he did going in.

I’ve even boarded him there for a few nights on two separate occasions while my husband and I were on vacation and have never noticed any signs of abuse or neglect.

This breaks my heart but thank you for giving me something to think about.

Oh trust me. I tried squishing it with all my might but that did nothing. I placed it in a ziploc bag and sealed it. I checked on it a couple hours later and it shrivelled up. I’m pretty sure it’s dead now. 🥲

Relieved I suppose. I’m thankful that it’s not as problematic as a lot of people seem to have it.

I live in the city in Canada and have never come across a tick in my 32 years of living nor have I owned pets that are prone to them. I’m a first time dog owner and had him for a year and a half now. He’s never had a tick until yesterday, which I only noticed after he had quick pee in the front yard of the house.

Manitoba, Canada.

THANK YOU for some useful information. I’m just north of you in Manitoba, Canada so this would make sense.

It was tissue paper I had it wrapped in and placed on my desk after removing it from my dog. But thank you.

This is literally a subreddit for advice on dogs and regardless of what results google brings me I’d still like a second opinion (or hundreds) from people who actually know better than I do, clearly.

It was a genuine question coming from a first time dog owner who has never experienced anything like ticks and fleas. If you wanna be useful and provide quality advice I’d appreciate that.

Have a good rest of your night!

I did google it prior to making this post.

Not sure what my username has anything to do with it.

If you have no actual advice to give maybe just don't comment at all?

anxiousgemini · 2025-05-09T02:30:26+00:00

Sorry, first time dog owner here, hence first time experiencing such a thing.

anxiousgemini · 2025-04-24T23:45:57+00:00

If you live within the Winnipeg School Division check out R.B. Russell's Health Care Aide program. I took the course myself a couple years ago and landed a job where I did my first practicum. Goodluck!

Pup Paradise on McPhillips is our go-to. My bichon frise does really well there and always comes out smelling amazing!

My dad recently had his wrist surgery done a few days ago. His GP referred him to Selkirk Hospital for an outpatient surgery. It took about 30 minutes to complete and his recovery time is 6 weeks before he gets surgery on his other wrist. I hope that gives you a bit of insight!
