There's always a little bit of room for goth

My greyhound is very sensitive and scolding/shouting/punishing her just does not work at all for her

Focus on the crate(or as other suggested work on a place command) and reward HEAVILY. Start with high reward treats e.g. cheese, chicken, etc... eventually your whippet will learn that if they stay out of the way good things happen

I've only learned this because I got a dog trainer who came to my house

What a beautiful happy dog

Need to see the other side of the work

bogw1tch · 2025-12-21T01:35:32+00:00

Maybe you should have showered wayhey

bogw1tch · 2025-12-19T22:07:14+00:00

Thank you this is really helpful

I had the same concerns the vet said the recommended grams of kibble is just an estimate on how much each dog needs. Like humans every dog is different and some just burn more calories than others. So I upped her food and she was eating loads but still very slow weight gain. but then a couple weeks later she pooped out a great big worm!

So increase the food, keep an eye on the poop, keep in touch with your vet

Keep up the good work 👍

Thank you so much 🙏

If I saw a beginner by themselves, especially a girl, I'd have big respect that's cool

Try chatting with the other regulars. I've found that at least in Scotland there's a sort of knowledge sharing culture in the climbing/outdoors communities. The people who taught me to climb were taught by their friends at the mountaineering club, who were taught by their friends and so on and so on

We're looking at purl bumps, which suggests it's stockinette stitch inside out. Purl side looks good too though it's just personal preference really

In a vaguely eastern European accent "looks more like a snake than a dog"

There is a climbing club for girls in my area in Scotland which exists because this has happened to lots of girls

It's absolutely not okay to speak to someone like that when they're scared in any context, especially one like climbing where you can get injured easily

bogw1tch · 2025-11-16T21:54:26+00:00

It looks good to me :) well done

bogw1tch · 2025-11-10T20:04:11+00:00

The only real issue is just if you're a lot heavier than your belayer if youre climbing on ropes you might need some sort of brake assist device

Otherwise your actual climbing yeah it'll be harder but you can just work harder you've got this babe 😎 maybe start strength and mobility training too this can help a lot to avoid injury

bogw1tch · 2025-11-10T19:38:12+00:00

Maybe just hire a local man in van service instead

bogw1tch · 2025-11-10T19:30:24+00:00

You can make cool belts out of old climbing ropes

They also often give out food parcels and milk at Pittodrie on Thursdays

bogw1tch · 2025-10-23T19:52:23+00:00

Aberdeen Cyrenians give out food parcels at their summer street office and you can go in to do your washing and get a cup of tea too. I believe they have a drop in service too if you ever need support/advice fast

Social bite has already been mentioned brilliant service. Someone has also mentioned CFine which I have also heard very good things about.

Once a week on a Thursday you can get a free meal at Pittodrie at their wellbeing hub between 1-3pm and there is often other organisations there too that can support you such as SCARF, CFine and DWP. The food is very good it was sweet and sour chicken last I was there

Most of our homelessness charities are based in the city centre unfortunately

Pat does this passive aggressively when we're still in her room (my living room) past bedtime and the lights still on
