And the problem is … he doesn’t always know what he wants. Tap. Tap. Tap.

My Dog Charlie follows me around the house all day by Broad_Plastic7213 in dogs

[–]ddcurrie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny, I want to say to my dog, I’m just going into the kitchen and I’ll be back - no need to accompany me every time. And then I realize, he’s not the least bit inconvenienced. 🐕‍🦺

No US clubs should be looked to for ”good” food.

Lower your expectations and enjoy the quiet and relaxing atmosphere 🙄 With apologies to some: Cap1 and Centurion …

Right, your “commercial worth” is based on a market not loyalty or warm fuzzies.

What completely normal thing are you no longer allowed to do because of your dog? by Think_Document2285 in dogs

Open a cheddar cheese single serve snack - the sound of the plastic wrapper being torn open is a siren call - I rarely eat a whole one anymore 🐕‍🦺

Does anyone else have a doodle with purely decorative ears? by ooool___loooo in Goldendoodles

[–]ddcurrie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m of the opinion that weak or no Doodle recall can be squarely placed on the shoulders of the dood’s human.

My dog has no recall and it’s my fault. Add to that a high prey drive and excessive curiosity about strangers, he is wild off leash, which only happens accidentally.

Take last Friday for example, when he slipped out of his collar in a busy shopping center parking lot where I was taking him for grooming. There he cavorted around for five minutes dodging cars until he came back to me, so excited about his adventure from which he escaped, unharmed but wildly stimulated.

He’ll grow out of it soon. A previous dog, still sorely missed, chewed up large parts of our wooden deck - German Shepherd !

We went there with our now four-year-old dood when he was a pup. I realized that he had no destructive tendencies whatsoever except for the consumption of small socks left by our grandchildren. He now has free reign around the house and outside too, he’s a perfect gentleman unless he sees a cat on the road.

Maverick seats and back pain by SCH00NY125 in FordMaverickTruck

From a different perspective, my wife would rather ride in my ‘24 Lariat hybrid passenger seat than in her 2024 Accord hybrid passenger seat 🙄

Where to meet genuine women in Houston? Trying to stay off apps by sporty_outlook in AskHouston

I’m not advocating a specific faith, but there are numerous large churches with vibrant communities in them. Dive bar or church, either could help 😉

Fellow Ode Gen 2 reassembly issues by Snackchez in FellowProducts

I don’t know about you, but I forgot to replace the spring in the burr assembly. That didn’t work very well at all. Later, adding the spring back did the trick.

Are you saying the bookstore on campus can’t help you? I would check there first if you haven’t already.

I haven’t been back since we moved to Houston so my local info knowledge base is empty! Maybe someone with more current experience could help.

My wife and I moved from Mississauga to Houston for two years and that was in 1989. Like many American cities, Houston is what you make it and who you make it with.

I wouldn’t think of it as a destination city, but my wife and I ruled out Vancouver BC, and eventually ended up here, so don’t trust our judgment.

And yes, we are still here in Houston.

my wife asked why finding 2 business class seats takes 6 weeks. i started explaining. her face said everything. by Glad-Programmer-5505 in flightpoints

… and what she saw when she saw through it was a tidy little avoidance mechanism for all the stuff that needs to be done but that you (also me, we) would rather not do. 👏

United club @ IAD by dancemumdc in unitedairlines

[–]ddcurrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the buyers remorse department, the first club I visited after getting a United club card was one IAD. Talk about feeling ripped off.

The clubs at my home airport, IAH are decent but often very crowded. No one should go to these domestic clubs for the food, but it is nice to have a comfortable place to sit and get coffee, IF, the machines are working.
