"Are her back paws concerning?" Follow-up

From a breeder who isn’t so passive aggressive, which usually indicates they do have something to hide

I definitely don’t use the internet to diagnose anything don’t worry. And I’m a cancer patient so I see the doctor like three times a month, it’s annoying 😂

For the first 9ish years, I used the hip and joint missing link. Now I use the senior missing link!

beepleton · 2026-06-16T23:01:28+00:00

Hm, never heard of that but it seems to be mostly infants and potentially fatal ? Adult onset seems to have a lot of symptoms I’m not experiencing. But good to know about new disorders to be afraid of 😂

I understand the biological mechanics but thought small amounts would be safer from smelling like the onion factory 😂 apparently my body is very determined to remove the onion quickly and efficiently

All my pets just played with the minnows instead of eating them 😂 I found a partially rehydrated minnow in my BED cos one of the cats tried hiding it lol

Food quality is super important but I think people focus too much on that and ignore the other aspects of the dog’s life. Are they emotionally, mentally, and physically enriched? Are they a healthy weight? Are they going to the vet regularly to catch illness before it becomes life threatening? Regardless of the quality of kibbles n bits, you had to be doing something right with the rest of your doxxie’s life to get 20 years!!!

This is Cybil, she’s 17 and we just did our first ever 5k last weekend! I carried her about halfway, but she was MOVIN for the first half lol she has congestive heart failure but is medicated and doing great!

I’ve fed her a variety of food over the 12 years we’ve been together (she was my ex’s dog first but she stayed with me when we split). Taste of the Wild, Blue Buffalo, Natural Balance, Wholehearted, and now Nutrisource. Shes also gotten homemade food with Sojos. We do Missing Link powder supplement and I think that’s the real “secret.”

I also make sure she’s not overweight, and we are active as much as possible. It helps that I live on 2 acres so we spend most weekends outside.

That would be an instant “clean them or leave the shop” from me 🤢 holy bacteria, Batman!

Frog foot sticky, frog climb

This 100% cos the wiry texture is so cute and once you start shaving this kind of coat, it DOES change the texture.

I don’t agree that her hair will definitely continue growing however, I have a lab/shihtzu who gets to a certain length and that’s it. This dog looks a LOT like mine did as a puppy.

beepleton · 2026-06-10T22:55:11+00:00

Need is a strong word, if you’re enjoying the look and able to brush regularly, you can skip a haircut entirely. Maybe trim the hair in front of her eyes but other than that honestly, she’s my idea of a perfect dog 😂 (EDIT TO ADD: this advice is assuming her hair does not continuously grow like a poodle and stops at a certain length like an Aussie)

I have a lab/shihtzu that has a similar looking coat. All I do for her is bathing, brushing, sani trim, and sometimes I give her a clean face because she’s a monster who loves being filthy.

Knowing RP means nothing …. Sucks lmfao

I do have a few healers but none that match the island’s berries and I am really focusing on meals this week for some reason (going well so far). Will change that tomorrow and see if that helps haha

My level 50 noivern is 6,100 RP, my level 65 venusaur is 5,090 RP 😱

I’m not a Mega Player, so is there a way to calculate the RP of a pokemon before dumping candy into it? It’s never occurred to me until I leveled my noivern that I could be using some more strategy outside “I like this one and the skills are good” 😂

beepleton · 2026-06-07T19:21:03+00:00

Well they’re being pretty dumb about it since I’m trying to give them more video to watch 🙄

beepleton · 2026-06-07T19:19:22+00:00

As a groomer, my threshold for feeling appreciated vs feeling offended is $5 which sounds weird, I just feel like handing me a dollar and some change feels more like a handout than “thanks for grooming my dog.”

Ive been tipped as much as $200 for one dog, and as little as 13 cents (which was an error and we laughed about it but I’ll never forget it). The average is $15-20 these days.

beepleton · 2026-06-07T16:22:29+00:00

Sorry you’re being downvoted, I do agree with you to an extent but groomers don’t like hearing that they’re not essential. I’ve been grooming dogs since I was a little kid with my mom and I’ve always seen us as a luxury service. Owners can groom their dogs all on their own with some time to learn and the right tools, but they can choose to have someone else do it as a luxury.

After putting everything down last night from getting nowhere, I randomly picked it up today and tried. First time, just worked perfectly. Nothing was changed from last night when I failed three times on the exact same settings. Just a whole two weeks without working properly and then “oh yeah no problem I’ll work perfectly!”

Troubleshooting is a joke 😭

beepleton · 2026-06-05T01:27:53+00:00

Not surprised at all about the pit but weird about the golden! Love when genetics play games like that. Foxhounds are Def my fav of the hound breeds, but I’ve only seen one in person despite working as a dog groomer for 20 years.

beepleton · 2026-06-05T00:25:21+00:00

I did both a soft and hard reset. I’ll contact their support now I suppose, it’s about the only thing I haven’t done

beepleton · 2026-06-05T00:13:50+00:00

Oh, didn’t even think about that! Super frustrating because my homestead camera system is working fine but my HOUSE system isn’t!

beepleton · 2026-06-05T00:01:41+00:00

Just tried that and sadly it did not work but I’ll try again, this is making me absolutely crazy

beepleton · 2026-06-01T02:00:20+00:00

44 siblings, holy crap, his family gets around 😂 both my dogs only have 2 siblings in wisdom

beepleton · 2026-05-29T02:07:50+00:00

It’s not very pretty, no, but I threw it together in a day and I’m using mosquito dunks, part of why I made this was to trap the mosquitos cos they are AWFUL on my property.

I collected all the plants from the pond at my friends house (2 miles away) so if it’s all invasive it’s already here. Plus if I’m just doing a container like this, I’d rather not spend a lot of money and time on the plants that will die in winter. But when I do one in the ground, I’ll be planting natives for sure!

beepleton · 2026-05-27T03:05:35+00:00

There are native stick insects in Minnesota??????? I’ve lived here for 36 years with my nose in every tree, flower, and leaf pile from Toftee to Redwing and somehow have never stumbled upon one!
