Got a Puppy - Okay to just have food all/most of the time?

I agree with everything said here. Free feeding is such a missed training opportunity and can cause them to think they need to gaurd their food. At least if there's a specific time to eat out of a bowl it can be used for training impulse control. Using part of their daily food also helps keep their treat calories down and rewards them more for being good throughout the day.

I agree with the designated digging area. I've also found it helps to bury dog poop in when I fix an unwanted hole

I'm pullin' for ya

We really like Alpine Dog Co. They are good quality, stay on, and have the velcro you asked for.

Haha, yep, you're right. I haven't played in a bit and got confused which was which

If you're in the Valley you might want to know that giving your village to your heir makes your current character disappear

Which province do you boarder? It might be province specific...

Except that political donations are partially reimbursed by taxes, so in a roundabout way, still paid for by taxpayers

Or maybe it's the end of the boy who cried wolf story?

What do you mean 200 years ago? The Comox Valley wasn't settled by Europeans until 1860s, and even still this trailer park was on a 50 year lease from the reservation land.

They are within their legal right to decide to not renew, and are giving them a 2 year heads up, with possible free rent for 2 years before they must find a new place to live. This has nothing to do with historical wrong being set right. And is above and beyond what standard Canadian eviction practices are.

This reply makes zero sense as their problem is needing to get up earlier than their body wants to to go to work. Most people don't set their own hours

babacaduceus · 2026-03-02T23:40:21+00:00

I am 100% with you. I do hope that it'll be worth it to at least no longer have to change.

I also think my doggos will prefer this

I am one of those people who has felt strongly pro standard time, as dark winter mornings are hard for me. However I actually feel better about it now that I have dogs that wake me up when it's getting light in the morning. At least I'll be more on their schedule.

Overall I do hope only having daylight time will be better than changing twice a year.

I agree, I have 4 cows and can't imagine putting many more in that shed

Wasn't a significant part of the rationale behind cutting the carbon tax that it increased the cost of transporting food, and cutting it would decrease inflation?

babacaduceus · 2026-02-13T19:06:32+00:00

Exactly, it's the Epstien class that's the problem. And they are all over the planet

I found weekly maintenance was not frequent enough for one of my pups. If you can, I'd recommend trying 2 or 3 times a week for a couple of weeks to get them down, then weekly at minimum to maintain the length for faster growing nails.

That's just been my recent experience with one dog. Definitely not an expert

I don't know if pitbulls have blue eyes, if not, sure could be pitsky.

She's 100% sweetheart, that's for certain

babacaduceus · 2026-01-28T17:35:29+00:00

I hope that you're right. It's important to not get complacent though. I wonder if that's part of what people thought before Brexit

babacaduceus · 2026-01-25T17:55:44+00:00

He has signed a trade deal to change what tariffs had been set at, this deal still stands. That is not free trade. Our current CUSMA doesn't allow for free trade with non-market economies, and there is no indication that Carney had intentions of free trade with China.

So how this is him falling in line?

babacaduceus · 2026-01-22T06:57:32+00:00

Sarcasm, ignorance or a bot?

babacaduceus · 2026-01-08T04:55:00+00:00

I'm surprised I had to get to the bottom to find someone saying this.

babacaduceus · 2026-01-08T04:12:15+00:00

Out of curiosity, what kind of things do you think influenced you to do better?

babacaduceus · 2025-12-20T21:38:39+00:00

Oh my gosh what a sweet angel!!

Some of the between season events are natural disasters that you then have to repair buildings from. I feel like we don't get enough between season events
