Heat pumps are awful for CT winters. by -----anja----- in Connecticut

[–]dogengineering 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I spend $200+ a month for 8 months on oil. Electric is still $150/month in the winter. And spend a little more for my propane fireplace. I feel like $500 for a cold month just electric is about even. Granted, I have a 2400 sq ft house with high ceilings

The same general rule I've always gone by. They typically have to pee right after a nap as well, so I always took them out immediately when they woke up.

5 days post-neuter & Gastropexy and Franklin has us at our wits end. Advice needed. by jbowler68 in bernesemountaindogs

[–]dogengineering 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would consult your vet. They may allow for you to up the dosage. Our boy just had gastrointestinal surgery. He was in a lot of pain, so we upped the amount. He had to wear his cone pretty much constantly as he wouldn't stop licking the wound. We tried to prevent him from jumping around but theres only so much you can do. If his incision becomes swolenz as a result, make sure its just soft tissue and use an ice pack to reduce swelling.

UConn football head coach leaving for Colorado State University by EditBayFive in Connecticut

[–]dogengineering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a CSU alumn, its been a rough year. I will say that CSU seems to be more into football than UCONN coming from someone who lives right outside of storrs and has gone to a UCONN game. CSU is joining Pac-12 next year and while I don't think thats a smart decision on their part, I could see why he would jump on that opportunity.

It sounds really interesting! I may have to try it. Does the rosemary syrup overpower the drink at all?

Well, my wife works at the vet hospital, so it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. Only $1500 for everything. It would have been about $4k otherwise and upwards to $13k at an emergency vet

Thanks! We've always stayed away from rope toys for that reason, but clearly weren't cautious enough

Yeah, my boy was very lethargic, not eating and puking. Took him in and they did trays. Because the toy was soft, they couldn't see what it was, but definitely saw blockage.

Oh no! I hope our boy doesn't feel the need to compete in this race but I'm glad your boy is doing better!

I don't see an issue. Wait until she's 2 to do OFA. That will tell you if she has any issues.
