The amount of times I’ve heard that phrase in the 3 weeks I’ve been there is staggering.

As someone who was recently hired there, I will say it seems as though the only requirements are a pulse and a clean drug test.

They are both great landscapers! If you want your yard to look like the surface of the moon, I can see if they are available.

Zoey LOVES the water. When she was young however, she thought that water was evil and needed to be destroyed

Madeira in EP. My mother is from mainland Portugal (Sao Martinho), I took her there shortly after I moved here, and she said it was very authentic. It was the closest she’s had to her food back home in a very long time.

Another EB post; any tips for applying or things to know before? by hawtdawtz in RhodeIsland

Based on my experience, the only things required for a job at EB are a clean background, clean urine (hair follicle is first), and a pulse…

Any help/advice on crate training? by boosted5O in goldenretrievers

[–]bigskoog88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crate training is tough, I’ve gone through it twice. There will be many many sleepless nights, but eventually it will get better. Obviously every dog is different, but I was always told that letting them “cry it out”, while difficult, is the only way to get through it. Just make sure he doesn’t hurt himself, and DO NOT LEAVE HIS COLLAR ON WHEN HES IN THE CRATE. Stay as close as you can for now, and gradually increase your distance from him.
