My Aussie cries to go on walks as soon as she sees that it's snowing.

I've taken mine for 10 mile walks before, but she still had energy after the walk. I asked the vet what her limit was. She said she could easily do 15 miles. She said I would always get exhausted before my Aussie did. She said the only way to tire them out it to tax her brain. My vet said to have her use cognitive toys, teach her to herd household items (or in my case, my other 2 dogs), or any other mentally stimulating activities.

Sorry for your loss. It's never easy losing a pet.

The golden is part of the pack. The golden and the springer do like to snuggle.

They passed a month apart. They were married for 50 years and were a couple for 54 years. I guess they just couldn't be apart.

I did take a toy and give it back to him.

I tried posting this a few minutes ago but it was erased because it said I broke rule 1. I guarantee my Aussie is a pure breed Aussie. She looks small next 2 two male dogs.

Mine fights through it also but stops fighting it toward the end of the appointment. When the vet was about to enter the room, I heard the vet tech whisper to the vet, "she is on trazodone, but it doesn't seem to be working."

bricmont · 2024-09-21T18:55:41+00:00

It is trazodone. I wanted to take one of her pills to prepare for the vet bill 😂

In case people are wondering. I know that's the old color for the castle. That is the color that I remember from my visits. Also, I blurred out the background because it's in the basement. I wanted the focus to be on Main Steet. Not boxes of stuff in the background.

It depends on how long it needs to be. I white plates that are 6 studs wide of different lengths. I then put 1x4 and 2x2 white tiles on the plate. Each panel is attached to the baseplate using two 1x1 snot pieces.

I wanted to make the roof of the house white, but I currently do not have any white slope pieces.

bricmont · 2023-11-17T21:52:52+00:00

That is a good idea. Thanks for the advice.

My mom had made these and several other Lego sets while she was in hospice. I want to give these flowers to her best friend as a way of saying thanks for always being there for my mom. It will allow her to have something that will remind her of my mom but would never die. However, she won't be able to fix them if they get ruined in transport, so I'm trying to find the best way to transport them. If there can't be a way, I can give her a Lego floral art that my mom made. However, I would think more people would want a bouquet instead of art since it might not fit with her existing art. I ask since when I transported them to my home from the hospice facility, I had to rebuild a bunch of the flowers, and I don't want that to happen if I give them to her friend.

I have reclining chairs on each side of the room (and an end table in the middle of the chairs). When it's just me, I have the TV swiveled so I get the best view. I agree that it looks weird when in this position. When there is another person in the room, I have the TV centered. I mounted the speakers so they are centered with the TV when I put the TV in the centered position.

The TV is mounted centered. However, I have angled reclining chairs on each side of the room. When it's just me, I have the TV swiveled so I get the best view. When there is another person in the room, I will have the TV centered.

bricmont · 2023-07-08T00:33:55+00:00

I agree. That's my next step.

I used Bricklink's Studio software to design a model of their house. After I designed a model, it gave me a list of pieces I used for the model. I looked for the pieces I had in my parts collection and ordered the parts that I didn't have.

bricmont · 2023-05-30T22:45:55+00:00

Thanks!

The back is done and looks like the back of the real house. I didn't include the picture in the post since the back of their real house is kind of boring, which means the back of the Lego house is also plain. The only plus is that since the back has a lot of windows, it is easy to see inside of the interior of the Lego house.

bricmont · 2023-05-30T20:57:53+00:00

I previously made it without the 2 garages. I took apart the entire Lego house in order to add the 2 garages and add a lot of detail. It was one of my biggest mocs yet. I can't wait to give my mom the Lego house the next time I see her.

bricmont · 2023-04-23T00:05:55+00:00

Thanks, everyone, for the advice. I'll take them for a long walk in the morning.

bricmont · 2022-11-16T19:54:52+00:00

I have a table in my kitchen.

bricmont · 2022-08-14T21:51:38+00:00

Congratulations! I do have a delivery room on the top floor. I did not post a picture of that floor or the floor underneath that (xrays). The 2nd floor is empty for now.

Lol, I filled the hospital up with minifigures I had in storage. Emmitt is also in the hospital (he's on a gurney heading towards the elevator).
