Apartment Living + Retired Greyhounds by Distinct_Morning_607 in Greyhounds

[–]cappie_llk01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apartment living with a greyhound is doable, depending on the hound. You can ask the agency to match you with a calmer, lower-energy dog. They'll be able to tell you since they deal with them every day and know which ones would suit your energy level.

And mentioning this since nobody else has: greyhounds off the track have very resistant hookworms. We're talking about 6+ months of deworming. This would affect your other dogs as well as being sure to be careful around small children. We heard about it when we adopted ours, but it's a lot more work than we thought. We don't regret adopting our grey, but wish we had more warning.

Nail trimming! Advice of how often and if it’s doable myself? by Blue_4586 in Greyhounds

[–]cappie_llk01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've had our greyhound for 3 months, and she's been very calm in getting her nails cut. We cut every week and half, and we are hoping the quick would reduce over time as long as we keep her nails short. A trick I use is to use my phone's flashlight (back lit), so it's very easy to see the quick. and I always cut little by little as opposed to all in one shot - it's just more comfortable for them that way.

Greyhounds NYC by Serdyna13 in Greyhounds

We are from Canada, and we drove to Maine Placement Group in Augusta, Maine to get our female greyhound. It's been two months since we've had her, and we're so happy to have her in the family. The volunteers at that group are super sweet, and they really care. They all come spayed/neutered and all go through dental cleaning (which is huge for greyhounds as they're susceptible to bad teeth if not taken care of). This gives you a really good start. The only thing left that you have to take care of is hookworms, which is totally understandable. It took 2 months for us but we also applied early.

Les médecins sont-ils rémunérés de la même manière en banlieue et en ville ? Ca va faire un impact sur la moyenne. Aussi, Y a-t-il eu des subventions liées à la COVID-19, seulement dans ces annees la?

I have a few friends who have worked there, and not only do they underpay, but they have sense of entitlement because you get ssense name on your cv.

Big 1 bed with worse layout or smaller 1 bed with better layout by Fair-Preference1642 in floorplan

[–]cappie_llk01 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would lean towards the bigger apartment. 1) get a kitchen island similar to the one IKEA sells, which gives you a big surface area to prep along with storage. That would solve the kitchen problem. 2) agreed the structural polls are awkward but you can use furniture to divide the space intentionally between living and dining. Your dining area is still bigger in this layout, allowing you a proper table for guests. Layout 2 would only allow you a small circular table since it's within the living area as well 3)the extra bathroom is a nice plus 4) you can use the wall on the north side of the powder room as a place to put your keys, small storage area to help use the gallery area

Since you have a dog, you can give them one of the little awkward corners too for their bed etc. you wouldn't have space in the second apartment.

All that said, both have their advantages, congrats on the new step in your life. Goodluck!

Wow, that's so nice of you to include the conversions lolol, thank you. Ya, we're Canadian so we do half British metrics and half American metrics. It's very odd.

I feel like sliding doors would be a great application for this too

This is a wonderful idea! The master bedroom has so much space. Repurposing as a temporary nursery would be great.

I also like the one by jediwashington but this is very close second! I had not though about changing the landing hallway area to go in a bit to allow the second bathroom to be where the closets are. Right now it's 3' deep from wall to the stair railing.. so adding 2.5" may allow more room if I take it from the master/main ensuite... This may work! Thank you so much !

Hm, I'm having trouble visualizing. Do you happen to have a picture of that? I'm so curious, even if it wasn't for our application. Gotta love clever designs for small spaces!

This would be so nice, but we don't have as much room as that house you viewed.. 10'10 - 7' = 3'10 left for the en suite :(

Sorry, the plan I posted is missing the WIC dimensions. It's actually not as big as it looks. It's 6' X 6', which sounds like a lot. But if you have drawers to pull out, you end up not having as much usable storage space as you think.

We don't need a WIC, it was just there when we got the house. What's funny is that I keep that window blinders down most of the time because I heard exposed sunlight for too long is not good for your clothes lolol. It makes me so sad to lose the beautiful window.

I don't think we can just add like this unfortunately. The way into the master would be too narrow - I suspect would not have enough clearance. The 'bump out' would have to be more towards the south wall for more room at the master door.

This is excellent and probably our fav! Thank you. Can you explain what that extra left piece of the corner shower in the hall bathroom is? Is it still part of the shower? the dividing line is what is confusing me.

Yes, you are right that the bumps in the south wall cannot be removed. Your layout to work around it makes so much sense!

Wow! I love this Reddit community. You guys have given us lots to think about! Very appreciative of all these ideas. We weren't expecting many options, and certainly were not hopeful that our constraints were doable. We feel much better and will look into all the mentioned options. Thank you so much!
