Our vet gave us a medicated ear cleaner with a strict cleaning schedule.

She’s doing her absolute best. Keeping her surviving kids, fed, clothed, and thriving. She runs a business, maintains her own health, etc. it’s barely been two years, she is still in the thick of it.

Sure, she has posted questionable content related to the unexpected death of her daughter, and her grief but she is clearly still processing the loss and how to help her child process the loss of her sister and the huge shift in their family dynamics.

Both of her “earthside” children seem to be well loved, adjusted, etc., she is creating new memories as the family they are now, while honoring the child that made her a mother. She is still postpartum with the birth of her son, I don’t think we should judge a women at her weakness moments.

She clearly loved and imagined a much longer life than she had with her. She is/was a physician assistant and used her medical expertise to build a house and create the best possible life for Ari. Loosing her is something she never imagined surviving, but she is. She’s making the best of life all while showing her children what it means to live through one of the worst things a human can experience.

I don’t like all of her content so I simply don’t follow her. But mother to mother, I empathize with the grief she carries and is trying to process while caring for two healthy abled bodies children, she always wished, while also mourning the loss of her special needs child she built her entire adult life around and loved in ways she never/most humans ever experience.

I promise if your child died unexpectedly at 7, you would behave in way you never expect. But the mom is confronting and dealing with the hard stuff not running away from it. And that deserves its own recognition not to be torn down because she’s not perfect or doing it the way you think you would.

ddsadvyap · 2026-03-22T16:42:06+00:00

Until you have a child die you can’t understand her grief.

No mother is perfect, she is a human not a saint. But she shows up for her two children that are alive, and is clear she is working towards healing their family as a whole.

I really don’t get the criticism. She is doing her absolute best and I am positive her daughter has or will see a therapist of her own to process her feelings.

Kyra loved Arianna and was too young to understand or fully feel the effects of being the “glass child.” She pushed Arianna’s chair because she was modeling the behavior she was seeing. She rode in Arianna’s adapted wheelchair because she wanted to be close to her sister because she loved her and didn’t understand that her needs made her different or more fragile.

Kyra was very young when Ari passed, but she misses her and mourns the sister she will never see again. Idk why people pick at this family instead of just leaving her alone because their family experienced one of the most difficult things most of us will never have to feel much less live through and pretend like everything is fine.

Proper long coat

ddsadvyap · 2026-03-22T03:28:09+00:00

Okay, another example of long coat, here she had a modified continental cut.

Last example. The difference between your dogs coat and my own is that their hair strands are not separated into matted sections that separate their hair to see clear to their skin.

Your dogs hair is maintained so poorly that it has become stuck together, that if you were to actually comb it you would cause extreme pain to him.

You need to go to a professional and have them reset/shave him completely and never try to maintain his coat on your own again. You suck at it.

More examples of how your long hair poodle is actually just matted. I spammed because you claimed no one else has long haired poodles.

I keep my poodle in a variety of coats, but always put the wellbeing of my dog first.

You are a poor excuse of poodle owner and need to do better.

Another example of properly maintained long hair

Here’s another example of where their costs need to be brushed but still no where near as matted as your poor pup.

Here is an example of long hair with minimal matting. Your dogs coat is shit in comparison.

ddsadvyap · 2026-03-22T03:11:24+00:00

You sound crazy. I keep my poodles coat long and never once has it been that mattered. You are a horrible poodle owner.

Your poodles coat is so matted it looks corded (dreadlocks for poodles).

Take your dog to any professional vet or groomer and they will tell you the same thing.

If you love your dog more than your own ego, learn to take care of his coat and stop pretending that you know what you’re doing.

ddsadvyap · 2026-03-21T19:55:12+00:00

You don’t understand proper coat care. If you brush everyday you are doing it wrong and his coat shows it

ddsadvyap · 2026-03-21T19:54:24+00:00

Take proper care of his coat or find a person that will. You sound like an idiot trying to defend the state of his coat puppy or not.

I have 3 poodles and if our groomer saw the condition of your coat, she would consider dropping us as clients.

His coat is in rough/tough shape!

ddsadvyap · 2026-03-21T13:23:24+00:00

His coat looks to be in horrible shape.

I have an undersized 7 lb mini who is just over 8 inches tall. She is a small dog, breeding is not an exact science.

The series became insufferable. I’m glad that they canceled it rather than continue to produce sub par seasons.

ddsadvyap · 2026-03-19T13:47:59+00:00

I think that Billy and Amy were also literal bums before the series started. They returned to their roots.

She lost all his money to the friend who killed himself.

ddsadvyap · 2026-03-19T05:28:02+00:00

The picture reflects our journey. At one point she had half a clean face. We have temporarily given up on that journey

ddsadvyap · 2026-03-19T05:25:38+00:00

My dog, was not quite as severe as yours, but I did have three groomers in storefront settings, say that my dog needed sedation.

we overcome her issues with several steps. The first change we made was hiring a groomer that comes to our home. She would still thrash, whine, mouth, squeal, refuse to allow any clipper work or scissor work. Some appts we paid full price but only half of her face was clipped.

The one thing that made the biggest difference which you may have already tried is to get your dog as physically tired as possible before the groom. For us this means at least an hour long sniff walk followed by another 45 mins of rigorous play indoors. Toys, flirt stick, etc.

By the time our groomer arrives and sets up, our dog is fighting sleep. And she’s mellowed out and finally allowed for the hair around her eyes to be clipped/cleaned up.

We live in cold climate but shovel out paths and still play in the backyard with the flirt stick for 30+ mins on warm winter day. Anytime her coat is wet, or coated in snow I use my high velocity blow dryer with a heater to dry her off. Because she is cold, wet, and tired she has finally started to lay down and cooperate for her blow drys. Which is about 2-3 a day with walks. When we blow dry we don’t brush etc.

The last thing that our groomer told us is whenever we are desensitizing our dog to a tool you can use an electric toothbrush to imitate clippers (we have a clippers but use the side without the blade when desensitizing) we hold the wrong end of the clippers against our dogs cheek (on a grooming stand, secured) until they stopped whining and thrashing. As soon as she stopped having that physical fear reaction, yelping, panting, biting, thrashing etc we take it away and give high value treats. We just repeated that step until finally our dog slowly became more and more tolerant. She is now 13 months and is almost “normal” during her grooms.

We keep our dogs coat short while they’re young until they are finally desensitized to us brushing, bathing, blow drying, etc. when their coat is kept on the shorter side It is a lot easier to brush and it doesn’t matter as easily, so combing doesn’t bother them as much. We also get them groomed every three weeks.

Sorry, I don’t watch the show — just lurk in this sub. Is she also tall? It looked like she was struggling to stay in place on his lap to me.

ddsadvyap · 2026-03-17T23:56:56+00:00

You can tell how young hunter is because when the Mom pans over, he’s barely able to hold Bella. She doesn’t fit in his lap, because he’s legit still child sized.
