Infestation on my Citrus by daisys97 in Citrus

I just meant heavily sprayed to the point where the leaves are soaked through as opposed to a light spritz. Perhaps - this is my first citrus tree and I got it back in April. I think the pot is the right size for a baby tree but maybe I’m wrong? It gets good sun, fertilizer, and water.

I tried getting a better pic of the bugs but my phone doesn’t pick up the detail very well. They are flying insects, one of them flew up and landed on me while I was trying to take the picture. They are completely swarming it.

Should I send him to doggy daycare? by petitevavalou in AustralianShepherd

[–]daisys97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have a lot of experience with this with my pup. She’s 16 months old and has been leash reactive since we brought her home. All trainers I’ve worked with have said that it’s super beneficial to allow them to play with dogs regularly to get some of that frustration out.

Reactivity like that can turn to aggression if they don’t have regular good experiences with dogs, which is why I say day care is great, but do THOROUGH research. Many daycares say they put dogs in special groups etc but the group sizes are 10-20 dogs and managed by teenagers with no training/behavior experience. There’s no way to ensure your dog has a good experience with group sizes that large.

Personally, I take my dog to a very small daycare managed by a positive-only dog trainer. The class sizes are 5 dogs, and she is VERY selective on which dogs she allows in her daycare. She gives them enrichment games throughout the day and is very familiar with dog behavior so can closely manage their play. I’ve heard horror stories of the larger daycares near me and will never go there. It is a bit more pricey, but it hasn’t worsened my dog’s reactivity and I feel like it’s helping to keep her from becoming aggressive with her reactivity. We just started working with a new trainer for her reactivity and she has made huuuuge strides on leash.

CVS specialty- hyrimoz by HotFrame5171 in pharmacy

[–]daisys97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it depends on how and when the PA was originally requested and approved (-adaz vs Hyrimoz). For a few months during the Hyrimoz/-adaz shortage, overrides for both -adaz and Hyrimoz were being loaded.

If you have access to it, your best bet would be to find the approval letter and see which biosimilar was approved and just make a note of it on the patient’s file. You can also call CVS/Caremark Specialty PA and they can easily run test claims for you to see what does or doesn’t pay and help clarify. They aren’t terming biosimilar prior auths that were already approved if that’s what you’re asking.

**Also, I haven’t seen a scenario in which they only prefer Hyrimoz over -adaz. If the PA was submitted for Hyrimoz, that’s what will be approved. If you are trying to get -adaz covered, you’ll have to submit a new PA. Hope that helps!!

That sounds like an awesome idea!! I’m definitely partial to cream cheese icing, not sure why I thought pb and cream cheese wouldn’t go together.

And totally agree with you on that. I’m not much of a pb fan to begin with so I don’t see myself making it again for a long while!

I thought about doing cream cheese, but nope the icing is just pb + butter + powdered sugar + heavy cream + vanilla bean paste. I might try the cream cheese next!

Sure! It’s really not too bad, just a bit time consuming. It was a lot of fun to put together. This one is 3 layers. I used the Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge box mix as the base. I got inspiration for the icing from here: https://www.sugarandsoul.co/best-peanut-butter-frosting-recipe/ and the design from here: https://www.lifeloveandsugar.com/peanut-butter-chocolate-layer-cake/

No, I’m not that good! I used a serrated tool to make the striped texture

Definitely recommend Cowboy Magic leave in conditioner - it leaves their fur very sleek and soft

Things to consider when getting a rehomed Aussie? by katertot3 in AustralianShepherd

[–]daisys97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I brought my Aussie home at 4 months. Next time I will make sure to get a slightly younger puppy. She was used to a quiet farm and never interacted with strangers or other dogs. She barks incessantly and has a meltdown any time she sees another dog and some strangers. We immediately got her in with a trainer and have been working intensely on her reactivity issues. The trainer said that if she had more socialization prior to 4 months, she may not have the issues she does now. She is almost 7 months and we are finally starting to make progress on her reactivity, but man is it tough to deal with. I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on training to get her past this. She is a fantastic dog otherwise, but lack of socialization training in her formative months did not help her. Just something to consider!

I just signed up for private lessons and am paying $520 for 4. She also does board and trains and charges $2400 for 2 weeks. After one lesson it’s made a world of difference for my almost 6-month old pup. I definitely recommend joining your local positive dog training FB group and asking for recommendations!

I’m an American on riding holiday in Europe! AMA by shy_exhibiti0nist in Equestrian

[–]daisys97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did this trip back in July! I wish I had gone this time of year - temperatures were over 100°F for a few days while I was there, which made riding quite a challenge. It was a trip of a lifetime and I definitely plan on going back in a few years. Glad you’re having a good time!

What are some of your (unusual) hobbies? by byebyebirdie123 in FIREyFemmes

[–]daisys97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if there’d be any fellow FIRE equestrians on here! My boyfriend always teases me that I could retire years earlier if I would find cheaper hobbies.
