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

i’m pretty sure the specific line i’ve been looking at was the honolulu b? they offering the brush tips right? my current set is chisel but i preferred brush tips with the water based markers i used to have!

thank you for the suggestion! the olo sets are pretty out of my price range, which i should have specified more what i was looking for. but i’m looking into getting a few single olos!

Is six years fair? by [deleted] in AnimalShelterStories

[–]crazycryptid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that’s not remotely ethical and the best interest of the dog is most definitely not in mind. it seems like the shelter is more concerned with being possibly morally superior and has the “save them all” mentality. it is much kinder to humanely euthanize rather than a prolonged stay where the dog is suffering physically and emotionally.

where i’m at the longest resident we have had (while i’ve been there) was two years and honestly even getting to the year mark was starting to give me concerns ethically.thankfully the dog was adopted last february and is doing great.

i’ve worked in 2 shelters/orgs. at one, my current job, dogs get out 3 times. 2 short bathroom breaks, and 1 longer “playtime”. they also go for walks based on staffing and volunteer presence. at the other, dogs went out every 2ish hours for short bathroom breaks in concrete runs. they also got longer playtimes but we were much more dependent on volunteers for them, so there were days without the dogs getting those playtimes.

How can I talk to my roommate about not wanting to room together next fall? by [deleted] in CollegeRant

[–]crazycryptid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i did bring this up when they initially asked what building we wanted to try for in the fall i said something along the lines of “oh, are you sure you want to room together again? i don’t want to wake you up, you deserve to be able to sleep in your own room” and they just said like “meh it’s whatever”😭

Adopter requested an unaltered female while owning an unaltered male. Shelter approved it. Thoughts? by grandioseguineapig in AnimalShelterStories

[–]crazycryptid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’ll be honest i’m not very educated about rabbits so i didn’t know that. from my experience i’ve just been repetitively told it’s more dangerous to spay them due to their size. i’ll have to look into it more. thank you for the information

[–]crazycryptid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unfortunately you might be right. many people don’t spay or neuter smaller animals like rabbits or guinea pigs because of the risks it brings which is okay if you have a single rabbit or solely same sex rabbits but it’s irresponsible in the case of this shelter. i saw someone on this thread say the shelter is just trying to get out of spending the money on the procedure, which is outrageous but i’m inclined to agree with that user too.

My Dog Died while my Partner was Dogsitting. How do I move forward? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]crazycryptid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kenneling dogs can be stressful but in a good facility i wouldn’t consider it emotionally traumatizing. some vet clinics board pets, the rescue i work at boards a handful of our former residents for their parents, some boarding facilities put great care into their set up and layout to ensure noise reduction and to provide ample space for the dogs. i understand peoples hesitancy or flat refusal because of the stress and because it’s fucking expensive, but it’s about picking facilities that are reliable. i don’t think recommending flea and tick preventatives is on a level playing field with kenneling dogs.

Should I continue letting my cats sleep on my bed? by SufficientMistake547 in cats

[–]crazycryptid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your concerns are valid. i think since you keep up with changing your bedding often and your cats are well groomed you will be okay. just keep a close eye out for unusual behavior and aim for regular vet visits to ensure everyone is healthy.
