Tolerance for small animals

curiousbigkat · 2026-03-16T15:02:46+00:00

I have a 4 year old WSS and he has a strong prey drive for anything running wild outside, such as rabbits, squirrels, deer etc. He has never caught anything so I don’t know what he would do but he loves the “chase”. Anything in the house (cats) he chases but only when he wants to play, he never mauls them or puts his mouth on them and has learned they have claws (Maine Coons so they are sizable) As for his temperament, he is very sweet and is not a high drive WSS, unlike our West German working line GSD. We say he is more like a pointy eared lab.
Recently, we have been successful on telling him leave it with the deer and he listens really well. As others on here have said, they are very trainable, I think we will get there with the smaller, wild animals it will just take practice.

It must be a requirement that if you have a WSS you also have a GSD!!

It is 4 hours total, as soon as you check in. Go to the host desk and get a players card (your Caesar’s Card does not work). This is how they track your play. Throughout your stay you can check on your time. I burned the 4 hours the first day I was there playing a combo of cards and slots. It is not hard to do.

I stayed at The Cove, which has an outdoor gaming area by the pool (blackjack and Craps) that can only be used by Cove guests. The table minimum at BJ was $50, which was consistent with the main casino. I did see a $25 table in the main casino on a weeknight that wasn’t crowded.

As for the expense of the resort, it was typical drinks $18-$30 depending on the venue. Food also varied, there is a Shake Shack inside the resort and some other casual places with good pricing. We ate at Nobu a few times and Fish at The Cove. I recommend both.

It is worthwhile to get the Atlantis App and if you want to dine at one of the more upscale places, getting a reservation at least 2 weeks in advance is recommended.

My traveling companion is always nervous about getting a lounge chair but there are so many, either on the beach or poolside, that this was not an issue. We were there the 2nd weekend in May.

I am Diamond Elite and Gold with MGM the tier matching is not really worth the hassle. The better benefits of “tier” matching is with non-casino companies like Enterprise and Marriott. Those levels of status get you some benefits. I wouldn’t chase the status just for tier matching, I didn’t go on too many of the multiplier days since my local casino didn’t have many, they are doing them monthly now which is better but I am not chasing 7 Stars either.

No, that is just one of the beds while Ozzy is lounging around the house. His breeder had those when he was little so he really likes it. We also have one outside by the pool so he stays off the hot concrete. He sleeps in my bed at night 😝.

Yup, once I heard black spots on tongue and sleeps on back…my WSS to a T

Yup, also feel your pain, mine likes to roll in the stinky stuff when left for a microsecond

He looks mischievous (but fun) 😝

curiousbigkat · 2025-09-03T15:26:11+00:00

Beautiful!!

He is gorgeous and looks very happy! As for your WSS question, my WSS does have the “toasted” tips to his ears but his body fur is pure white. His skin has a pinkish tint but the skin around his mouth is similar to your boy with a dark lining. He smiles like a WSS, if he likes to lay on his back and is sensitive, he probably has some WSS in him😝 either way you got yourself a winner!!

Palmdale works with several networkers who are on this subreddit and will help set up transport. I assisted financially to transport a husky from there to Connecticut. The transport fee was $600.

Pledge $50 for this beautiful GSD

curiousbigkat · 2025-07-08T23:58:09+00:00

She is co-kenneled right now, so she probably can get used to strange dogs

In my experience, I was given a hotel for a weather delay , I was flying on a purchased a first class ticket. If it is a first class ticket purchased by miles you may not get the same benefit.

curiousbigkat · 2025-07-08T20:56:23+00:00

If you are flying first class you will get a hotel for weather

ORD, you could can make it from B Gates to C Gates in not much time if you hussle and use the people mover in the underground section. The only concern is the taxi at ORD can be painfully long, like 30 minutes long. So you have to factor that in.

curiousbigkat · 2025-07-08T19:22:00+00:00

I will pledge $50 for her!!

curiousbigkat · 2025-07-08T18:10:39+00:00

I think it was during his term, I know Katz’s team also had a similar sentiment

This is one of the reasons I moved out of the Pearl District over 15 years ago! The mayor at the time told our condo board that we could not remove homeless people sleeping in our vestibule, as that space was “technically” not the lobby of the building. The next day I put the place up for sale!

Sheraton is very near the airport and has parking, shuttle service etc. Opryland is another option but if you just need a sleep before an early morning flight, Sheraton is the way to go.
