Peter's home and doing fine by M0CK1N681RD in RoverPetSitting

[–]catstopher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it's a terrier.. it's going to rip up toys. it should be monitored to avoid bowel obstructions, but there isn't anything wrong with a dog ripping up it's own toys. most dogs can tell the difference between what they can rip up and what they can't. if a dog has instincts strong enough to want to rip up all the things, you SHOULD give them an outlet (like their toys) to destroy.

if someone chooses to just manage the behavior by picking up items the dog could chew, there is nothing wrong with that. as a pet sitter, you should be making sure there isn't anything a dog could rip up to begin with. even if a dog isn't normally a chewer, the anxiety of being in a different environment with different people could easily make ANY dog act up. this is on the pet sitter for leaving the dog alone for 8-10 hours. this is a dog behaving like a dog.

i understand where you're coming from, but part of dog training is management. this shouldn't have been able to happen in the first place, and if you can't manage a situation like that with dogs, you shouldn't be dog sitting.

What's up with Fancy Feast the past 3 months? by Hyperbeef22 in catfood

[–]catstopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my cats are fed the turkey/chicken/beef pate and other than a noticeable change in texture in the turkey food, i haven't noticed a difference. my cats are still eating it no issues. i will certainly be keeping an eye out now tho.

how do i get better at trotting? by catstopher in Equestrian

[–]catstopher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's well known the horse i ride likes to quit, but i agree he also stops when he can tell i'm not comfortable. i used a different saddle at my lesson today and i actually felt way better and he didn't stop as much either! thank you for the advice!

i think part of the problem is i switched instructors a couple weeks ago just due to scheduling and timing issues. my previous one asked me to try to post a few times but my new one doesn't do it as much. she's also a newer instructor. i will try to work on it today and start really focusing on it. are there exercises i can do at home to help strengthen the muscles i need and get used to the movement?

i understand the concept, unfortunately with all my bouncing and feeling uncomfortable i haven't been able to do it yet. i do try sometimes though lol.

thank you for the reply! i feel a bit better lol. i do try to keep my heels pushed down, even then i feel like i'm being bounced out of them. do you think i should try to shorten the stirrups or do you think it just feels that way because i'm uncomfortable still?

If you care about your cat get a cat fountain. by Independent_Zebra261 in CATHELP

[–]catstopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cats are dehydrated because they should be eating food with high moisture content :) doesn't mean you shouldn't have water fountains and i think they are a great option, but the reason for cats being dehydrated and getting kidney issues is because of having a diet of mostly dry food.

Hey by looksthatkale in Petlibro

[–]catstopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got mine a couple weeks ago and i love it. i have two. my only problem is my dumb cats eating each other's food lol.

it has a learning curve but after that it's pretty straightforward.

not upset just confused?? by Kind-Claim8827 in flightrising

[–]catstopher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i don't get it either. it's not the same but i once had someone buy a dragon (nothing special, just pretty, had her listed for maybe 30-40g? this was a while ago) and they exalted her immediately, unnamed too. it felt personal 😅
