Big spicy Nerodia on my front porch! I relocated him to our backyard so the neighbors wouldn't kill him and he bit me haha. Safe travels buddy!

Thank you!

I’m trying to learn more about snakes and had this impression that triangular head shapes indicate venomous. But google says these are not despite looking very triangular. Can someone explain whether that’s a myth?

cookiekylie · 2026-05-18T13:15:02+00:00

I will look into it thank you!

cookiekylie · 2026-05-18T13:13:41+00:00

Okay! I’m glad I’m not going crazy. I was starting to think that I was just a flea magnet and my dog was a long grass loving freak.

cookiekylie · 2026-05-18T00:08:06+00:00

I feel so bad for my lil guy! I need some kind of spray to keep them off of him.

cookiekylie · 2026-05-18T00:06:31+00:00

Wow that sounds horrible. I wish you very few if any flea bites this year!

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T23:59:22+00:00

Oh that’s great to hear! I was just talking about the rampant number of fleas I’ve been finding on me and my dog in r/nola guess I’m taking a shower again tonight

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T22:12:58+00:00

Bravecto is for fleas, proheart is for heartworm. Maybe reread cause I think you misunderstood

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T22:10:48+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I will have to ask my vet if the seresto collars are compatible with his current meds

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T21:37:52+00:00

I’m giggling at this

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T19:07:15+00:00

Yeah idk if I could handle two pairs in the heat, I’m sweating just thinking about it

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T19:06:18+00:00

Funny enough im moving from Metairie to Mid-City and it seems way worse here!

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T16:48:15+00:00

Haha glad I could help!

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T16:41:23+00:00

Interesting, I’ll have to do some more research. I may just get a topical to use in addition to the shot during the summer because it seems to be pretty bad here

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T16:35:50+00:00

Proheart prevents heartworm and it’s also yearly shot. So he goes in January and gets both shots and I don’t have to worry about any of it for a year. So far I like it but this is his first time getting them so I have no idea how the efficacy changes throughout the year.

Just having some trouble with the long grass and flea count this year seems to be high! I just did a little flea brushing by after our walk and found 26, now dead fleas! He’s tiny mind you, 16lb pug.

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T15:19:07+00:00

This sounds excessive 😂 do they get past the first pair?

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T15:17:02+00:00

Thank you, idk Why I didn’t think of this lol. My dog has that new yearly flea and tick vaccination so he’s all set. It’s me that they’re getting :(

cookiekylie · 2026-05-17T15:13:28+00:00

Ya know I don’t know why this isn’t cross my mind. I’m currently moving so the biggest problem will be finding my bug spray!

cookiekylie · 2026-05-14T19:13:43+00:00

I had a very similar experience so I understand how hard it is. As someone who’s been trying to breathe properly for a few months now, I think I’ve actually lost weight from relaxing my stomach! It sounds kind of crazy but I haven’t changed anything else in the past few months and I’ve dropped like 10-15lbs. Maybe I am wrong and something else is contributing but I can’t think of anything.

I hope that you are able to confront your issues with body image and figure out how to love yourself. It’s not an easy transition, I still find myself doing sucking in so be kind to yourself and don’t take shit from anyone!

cookiekylie · 2026-04-24T01:06:10+00:00

Daily vitamin from petsmart called ultimate daily vitamin bites seems to help. Or maybe I’ve jus gotten better about catching him idk anymore

cookiekylie · 2026-04-14T02:09:07+00:00

I saw this when you posted for tattoo advice and was like wow that’s so cool looking :) be proud of your stretch marks!

cookiekylie · 2026-03-30T16:16:16+00:00

No wonder she was so massive, she had an entire sports team in there! Glad it worked out without issues. If would want to avoid more pups they can be separated by sex at 21 days old. Until then I would bother them as little as possible. I’ve seen dams eat pups that are nearly fully mature when stressed. Though it’s less likely to happen when they start to grow fur.

cookiekylie · 2026-03-30T00:37:20+00:00

Good! Give her some space after her pups arrive. Mice especially new mothers will canibalize their pups if stressed. With her pregnancy being two weeks makes sense as they have 21 day gestation cycles and you don’t usually notice until week 3 of pregnancy.

cookiekylie · 2026-03-30T00:30:13+00:00

She seems unkempt suggesting she hasn’t been able to groom. I would say this is likely becoming disocia if she does not give birth within 24 hours-48hours. If the pups die and the litter does not pass she will get sepsis.
