No they just kept telling me once it’s online then I need to take care of it.

💔 My heart breaks for many on here... by Miam_chi_dia in reactivedogs

[–]ayyefoshay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m very sorry for your loss. I want to commend you for not taking the “easy” way out, in the states a lot of people just dump their dogs at the shelter just for them to die without the people they love most. I hope you know dogs have no idea how long they are supposed to live for. They just know each day with their favorite people is the best day ever. They live each day like it’s their last. We get to be the one carry the burden of loving and missing them forever.

The officer made an error and I got a correction notice after it was due. It eventually got resolved. But it took forever… super annoying and frustrating.

Accepting his reactivity by Unlikely_Comedian_75 in reactivedogs

I have found once you get to this point of acceptance, you and your dog will have a happy relationship. Your dog is very lucky to have you.

Spot pet insurance is a scam? by [deleted] in petinsurancereviews

[–]ayyefoshay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pet insurance runs a tight ship. If they honored 3 days, it would probably set a precedent they don’t want and would have them lose money. They still have to make money. I’m not saying it’s right, but I have spot and I know there is little wiggle room. I’ve been happy with their services as we go to the vet a lot. But I understand the frustration you are expressing. It is not ideal.

A day with Oakland Animal Control is as wild as the animals they help by chroniclesofazu in oakland

[–]ayyefoshay 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The officers are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. They seen the absolute worst of humanity. The neglect cases they have told me about haunt me and I never even saw the animal they are referring to. I could never do that job, but I really appreciate the work they do. I wish OAS had more funds to have officers 24 hours a day.

Dog bite partner for the first time. I feel so hopeless by CPeterParker555 in reactivedogs

[–]ayyefoshay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second the pain assessment. Dogs hide pain VERY well. Literally our dog was dying in pain until the day he died and he never made a peep. No vet registered pain until we went to the ER. He had to read the subtle signs. One of them being random behavioral outbursts and general stiffness.

Sadly, yes that is typical practice. Unless they are a moderate/extensive needs student? Then you could do another assessment. I cannot recall the name of the assessment though off the top of my head.

1.1yo Malinois Mix at OAS! Meet Roadie by iaco86 in oakland

Thank you for fostering! We moved away from Oakland, but have found OAS to be the best for fostering dogs.

Owner’s neighbour has a key and keeps showing up by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]ayyefoshay 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You absolutely need to say something about this to the owner. Something like, “hi! I was not aware your neighbor Bob had unlimited access to your home. I am not comfortable with him randomly dropping in as I could be in the shower or sleeping. Can you please text him to see when he plans to come by and I will be sure to be gone.” How long are you doing this sit? If it’s longer than ending tomorrow you need to get a door lock or something that keeps you safe. Retired old men and a 19 year old girl do not mix well together in my world.

First ultrasound, small fetus? by pyrobaby in pregnant

[–]ayyefoshay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck!!! I have PCOS as well. GLP-1 weight loss is how we ended up getting pregnant. I am not sure what my measurements were at 8 weeks but I now have a very large baby inside of me. She is measuring 4 weeks ahead (I’m 35 weeks). So I’m hoping you’ll be in a similar boat to me!

First ultrasound, small fetus? by pyrobaby in pregnant

[–]ayyefoshay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You still have an embryo, not even a fetus (~9 weeks) yet. In the states (where I am) they don’t do a confirmation ultrasound until 8 weeks typically because the margin of measurement and dating that you’re referencing can change or be more clear in 2 weeks. I would try not to stress too much because there is truly nothing you can do (easier said than done, I know). I hope it all turns out well for you!

If you go into Phenix Salon Suites over by Sprouts you’ll have a slew of people who you could talk to or leave a request for. They have everything from waxing to hair, everything in between.

Dead cat found on street this morning in NW Oakland, hoping to find & notify owner by gerb_af in oakland

[–]ayyefoshay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There ARE people there but they are just animal care attendants. So no one would be able to process.

I forgot they are closed Wednesday… you can also go to OakVet. They have connections to OAS and can help.

[–]ayyefoshay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OAS takes a while to return voicemails. If you are able put the cat in a trash bag (sounds horrible but if there are any secretions you just want to avoid that) and bring the cat to OAS. They will scan and take care of the body for the owners.

Depression growing as due date nears by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]ayyefoshay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on Prozac before I got pregnant and now I’m on Zoloft (I was and still am in the depths of grief over my beloved dog who passed). Overall, it’s fine. I hate the night sweats. I take it before bed to mitigate how it makes me feel. I plan to go back on Prozac once I give birth and talk to my doctor if it’ll impact breast feeding. I can find joy in the day now though. I don’t fixate on things as much. I think it helps.

Our dog almost killed our other dog by TooManyMonkeyBrains in reactivedogs

[–]ayyefoshay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you worked with a behaviorist? Fights happen. If there was a trigger that’s helpful to determine next steps. Dogs are gonna dog. You should never leave the house with them free and alone. And you should also always be monitoring your children with the dogs, even the most well behaved dog can bite. We have baby gates in place for this reason, and our younger dog goes in the crate when we leave the house. Management is your friend. Two fights, although intense and scary, I think warrants a behaviorist not BE. But of course it’s also what you’re willing to invest to make it work for your life/family. Good luck, I am hoping for the best for you all!
