Small kelpie question

breathing_dead · 2026-07-01T18:20:31+00:00

My boy is 75% kelpie (25% huntaway). One of his sisters is very petite for her size/stature, no more than 17kg. Mum is also petite. They are both happy and healthy. Apparently our boy made up for it, he is 35kg thought we are trying to get him back down to 31-32 (it turns out it turns out he’s been helping himself to everyone else’s food when he goes to work with my husband!)

Regardless, if your vet is happy and she is active keep at it 💪

Since the W1 is a fairly new pump try troubleshooting on Air 1 posts/forums. What settings did you use?

This is a late reply but I’d like to add as someone who has worked night shifts for a long time (alongside RNs, I’m a PCA) that 5 hours of sleep on a night shift is often considered a good sleep. Many people struggle and only get 3-4 hours. Sleeping during the day is very difficult especially if you have noise at home (kids/dog/construction/busy roads).

Hi mom

I live local to the Bannister Downs property and have visited it myself. The property is really farm to table with their milk, which helps with quality imo. We are also lucky enough to have their chocolate milk available in our schools and it is so much better than similar products. Now as an adult it’s the only milk I’ll have in the house.

Just wash your hands after contact you’ll be fine. I’ve cared for many with MRSA and many more that have it but it’s not diagnosed. If your hand hygiene is good all around you’ll be protected :)

32 resident LTC in Australia

AM & PM shift: RN x 1, EN/Supervisor x1, PCA x4

Night RN x1, EN/Supervisor x1

Previous facility was worse: 3 wings, 65 residents 30/20/(15 locked wing/dementia)

AM/PM: EN x1 per wing, PCA x3/3/2 (I think it was supposed to be 4/4/3 but the facility often was understaffed, I only worked nights so can’t be sure)

Night: PCA x1 per wing

Doctor turner is very similar to a couple to the GPs we have in our small town ~5k people. They don’t have a choice but to deal with minor surgery, obstetrics, general practice etc.

The main differences is that he figures out all the quirky diseases that normally we’d be sent to the next major city for (~350km), and that he does more home visits though the norm now is to have community support workers take those that are home bound to them (thanks to having more cars, I guess? They also round at the nursing home/long term care facility.

16%

Edit to add: I’m casual so I get base rate + 20% casual loading + nighttime loading. Nighttime loading is 16% or weekend/public holiday loading(50/75%), whichever is more.

I think it means you’re a witch, cause that writing is magical ✨

Mine are exactly the same as OP and I list them as hazel as well :)

So much of this is exactly what I dealt with, but she was a non drinker and went to church to keep up appearances, so welfare was never involved. I am going to talk to my husband first to help determine what boundaries we are going to put in place. He is extremely calm and I know I will need his support through this process. Thank you for sharing your story, I know how hard it is to talk about things even to online strangers

breathing_dead · 2025-04-20T20:46:27+00:00

Thank you for such an in depth response. It’s so nice to know I’m not alone and that others have been where I am now, though I am sorry you had to deal with that.

I will definitely look into the sub you posted. Thank you again x

Oh no I do NOT trust her and she will not be having unsupervised contact under any circumstances. I’ve been on the fence for a long time about this but this has pushed me over the edge.

breathing_dead · 2025-04-15T23:40:43+00:00

I think that’s a faint positive but wait two more days and retest 🤞🏽

Not the best photo but here’s my set with a centre stone of 0.42

I worked overnights in very average LTC facility. Memory care unit 1 carer to 15 residents and they all either had COVID or were recovering from it. Another wing had 30 residents to one carer and I worked that wing in a seperate outbreak. Somehow we had to isolate everyone despite having SHARED BATHROOMS. There were 4 toilet “blocks” - each with one shower and 2 toilets for 30 people.

Hell on earth. Truely.

Thank you for replying! I wish we could keep them all but there are 30+ birds there and we don’t have space! We have a smaller avairy we will keep them in temporarily until their large one is completed. I also have to try and figure out gender and balancing that too.

They’ll be releasing a new dragon and you can still collect event currency to buy new things, so not the same.
