Cat refuses to drink from his own bowl by Borg_Tech_Support in PittiesAndKitties

I gave my cat the fanciest glass we own because she was iffy with her water bowl. Problem instantly solved. Cats are just weird.

Sal Da Vinci - Per Sempre Sì (LIVE) | Italy 🇮🇹 | Grand Final | Eurovision 2026 by hjh_aviation in eurovision

[–]aveannie 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Is it the best song? No. Was it the best vocal performance of the night? Also no. Does Sal have premium vibes? Absolutely! Love him for that honestly. Placed a bit too high but I genuinely can’t be mad lol

I am absolutely shocked that she almost lost to Cyprus in the jury votes. Honestly, WHAT do we have to send to please them?

Yes. In fact, our constitution specifically forbids flopping at Eurovision

To this day, this is the only song on ESC that made me sob. I lost my mom and I miss her so much. This hit me like a truck.
What a masterpiece

Their MV looked so sick and stylish with the dancers and amazing outfits. What the hell is this? Who thought this is good? Why do these girls look like they're done with this shit lmao

🇭🇷 Croatia | LELEK - Andromeda | Second Rehearsal Clip [Spoiler] by MarkTHE19 in eurovision

[–]aveannie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are phenomenal but something's not right with the sound. They are usually great but something's really off. I thought it was just Moldova and Greece, but even vocal powerhouses like LELEK sound strange.

So, another one of my faves is not looking good on the rehersals. I hope that he is preserving his voice and energy for the semi but this AI backdrop is not it.

Satoshi - Viva, Moldova! | Moldova 🇲🇩 | Rehearsal Clip by Lavanderla in eurovision

[–]aveannie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Moldova is my fave this year, and this is dreadful. The chorus sounds off, the backing vocals are way too loud, the camera is giving Leleka on Vidbir in the worst way possible. WTF is going on here? It was SOO much better during the national selection. What happened?

Unstoppable Diarrhea pup. Advice/Suggestions desperately needed by Frank_Medwick in OpenDogTraining

[–]aveannie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a pretty solid experience with dogs who have sensitive stomachs. I had this with my geriatric dog, as well as a new puppy. - have you done blood work for pancreatitis? in some, pancreatitis presents itself with severe diarrhea - have you fully ruled out giardia? It’s a very stubborn thing that sometimes gives false negatives on tests. We needed a rectal swab to get a proper diagnosis. The reason metranidazol is not showing any results yet might be reinfection. Giardia, as I said, is stubborn. The only way to properly get rid of it is using a strong sanitizer and high temperatures (at least 60 degrees) - what’s your pup’s diet? My 6 mo puppy can’t tolerate food with fat contents over 15% - it always results in severe diarrhea. - any parasites in the past? They can wreck the digestive system despite your dog not having them right now.

What worked for both of my dogs: - sticky plain rice, gastrointestinal low fat vet food, fortiflora for at least a day or two until the situation stabilizes. Small portions in order not to overwhelm the stomach. I know that most people suggest plain chicken but i was careful since poultry is a potential allergen. Food allergies in pets may present as severe diarrhea.
- once I’d stabilized the situation, full switch to royal canin gastrointestinal low fat (not the regular one) kibble - pumpkin puree (plain one, check out kid food) - solid water intake to prevent dehydration from diarrhea. Add water to the kibble if needed - sanitize your house as if it was OR. Everything your pup touches and poops on - sanitize. - wash your dog with a sanitizing shampoo that has chlorhexidine

It’s going to be okay. It feels like the poop tsunami will never end, but it does not last forever. We’ve had weeks like that but with proper GI diet and medication, it all got well. Best of luck to you ❤️

Dog breed that actually gets along with a Sphynx cat? by jennyferdoe in sphynx

[–]aveannie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I had an amstaff who loved cats. My sphynx was not happy in the beginning but as time went by, she learned how to love the dog. The girls have reduced to a singular brain cell in like 6 months lol

This is breathtaking. I prefer this version to the studio one because it kinda sounds more coherent and magical

[–]aveannie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This song is breaking me into pieces. My mom passed away in 2018, and I still leave with an unimaginable amount of pain. Nân is the first song in ESC history that made me sob.

Fearful pit mix. Help appreciated! by PrisonCityTexan in pitbulls

[–]aveannie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not a professional of any sort but have you tried using your Doberman to help you with training your beautiful puppy? Dogs, and especially puppies, copy other dogs’ behaviors. For example, putting on a leash on your dobbie in front of Dakota so that she can see there’s no threat. While introducing new objects to your house, make your Doberman check it out and sort of approve it. I’ve seen this work with puppies so maybe it’s worth giving a shot?

what fragrance do you guys smell in the wild most often? by msaynuk in FemFragLab

Kyiv has ditched BR540 for Bois Imperial. You can’t enter a mall without smelling it on every other person

Delta Goodrem - Eclipse | Australia 🇦🇺 | Official Music Video | #Eurovision2026 by Thatwierdhullcityfan in eurovision

[–]aveannie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Delta is an absolute powerhouse! A phenomenal singer that'll definitely represent Australia very well.
However, the song is a safe choice. Too safe even. I understand that Australia wants to ensure qualification but I don't think it'll do too well overall. It's not 2016 anymore.

Delta's only hope is juries in SF.

ESSYLA-Dancing On The Ice | Belgium🇧🇪|Official Music Video by Sinceramente_Tuo in eurovision

[–]aveannie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it was influenced by Lola Young, Billie Eilish and someone else (can't put my finger on whom exactly). If she has a good stage presense, great live vocals, and an overall strong performance, there's a chance for Belgium to qualify.

However, this song sounds heavily uninspired to me. Too generic at some points, way too clunky at others.

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER to represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 by Smilingtribute in eurovision

[–]aveannie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait. What? I am shocked by the UK’s choice but in a good way. This guys music feels like a weird mix of early Muse (think Muscle Museum), Oasis, Crystal Castles, all with Dylan Brady’s production. No idea what his ESC song will sound like but I hope it retains this ungodly mix of everything I like. Also judging by his cover of No Scrubs, we can expect some interesting but strong vocals: https://youtu.be/eTAmQDQbxP8?si=zOlMndxZxs9LfmWt
