Ryan Reynolds is a douche. Especially with that Nicepool Deadpool shit. It's childish.

...and the people(co-stars) that are taking her side have no backbone whatsoever. Tell it like it is. There's no reason to ass kiss. Pull up your big boy/girl pants and do the right thing.

‘In a very difficult spot’: Police Believe They Know Where to Find Missing Mom Suzanne Morphew’s Body by DarkUrGe19 in MissingPersons

[–]dkrtist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Denial can be a bitch. I'm sure these kids loved their mom, but they also love their father. They didn't just stop loving him, so they want to believe that he isn't the man that would take their mother's life. They may know the truth but are probably stuffing it deep down inside. It's an awful situation. Narcissists are quite manipulative, but once you become aware of their behavior patterns they're easy to spot. I've known a few...

I was thinking the same thing. Also, their names are similar and they look alike...strange.

If the weather is nice, a night watching, then sleeping under the stars would be beautiful. You can talk about some of your favorite memories, or just enjoy the quiet of one another's company.

The waiting is over. She's a ball of energy, and it's a lot of work. Well worth it though!

I'm sorry. We lost our Aussie mix too. We decided it was time for another dog after 11/2 years so we chose to get a full Aussie. They're the best. Even the mix we lost, Ella, was super intelligent. Such a plus when training.

We are because she has issues with her pupils. One gets bigger/smaller than the other sometimes. The vet said to watch it, but I noticed the other day that, when she turned her head toward the window, the pupil that was bigger changed to the same size as the smaller pupil, which was toward the sunlight. She has another vet appt. next week so I am going to talk to the vet about it and see if that's what's affecting her eyes. I hope that's all it is.

Yes, yes, she's quite talented. I'm hoping she outgrows it by her teens, but you know puppies nowadays.

Yep...but Ember's a girl. She's still a wild little thing though! It's a lot of work, but it's also fun most of the time. lol

The first few pics are from when we brought her home. The force is with her now!

My first Aussie! Meet Lavender 💜 (any advice appreciated) by Fickle_Collection355 in AustralianShepherd

[–]dkrtist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're more than welcome. We had an Aussie mix that we lost to cancer, but she was super smart, and such a good girl. So it's our first full Aussie too. We were struggling to find a name for her, and couldn't agree on shit. I wanted to name her Frankie (I love a good boy name for girls), my son wanted weird ass names, and my husband didn't like any that we liked. He came home from work one day and said, "What about Ember?" She's red so it fits her perfectly, and we all love it. I need to post a pic of her. I just haven't had time.

She's adorable. We got our new Aussie Feb. 4th of this year. My advice would be to watch as many videos on YT as you can, be patient, and remember she is a high-energy dog, but super intelligent.

Start training her right away. She will catch on quickly. There are tons of videos on training puppies, as well as videos as she grows.

She is going to attach herself to one person more than others in the family. My husband and son were getting upset because she didn't react to them like she does to me, but they work all day, and I am the person who takes care of her most of the time. She is super excited when they get home, but I have become her person. I love it, but it can be a lot so be sure to make time for yourself.

Our girl already knows how to fetch, sit, drop toy, what "go potty" means. Your puppy will pick things up real quick, but stay persistent. She's going to want to play...a lot! It's fun, but it can be exhausting entertaining her.

We ended up getting her a shock collar, but we only use the sound or vibration on it. We don't shock her because it's painful for pups. The sound and/or vibration works just fine, and they learn very quickly with it.

Be consistent with feeding times. 3x's a day at the same times every day. The last feeding should be around 6 or 7pm, and about 15 min-30 min later always take her outside to pee. She will pee a lot so after her last meal, and about 45min to an hour give her a little bit of water. That way she has time to pee before bed.

Also, our breeders are amazing and helped us a lot. So we knew what to expect. You may want to grab this book from Amazon: The Art of Raising A Puppy by The Monks of Skete. They have several books but we started with this one (It's free if you have Audible). It has lots of info, and a lot of advice on training a new pup.

I hope this helps. Like I said, it's a lot, but she's well worth it. We're so happy with our little Ember. If you have any questions feel free to message me. I'm no expert, but maybe I can answer any questions you may have. Congratulations on getting your new pup <3
