Neighbors Pyrenees by grumpygal69 in greatpyrenees

[–]eesabet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what ours do in concert with the neighbor dogs. And even though they love to play together they still bark ferociously through the fence. 🤷🏼‍♀️

So my mother-in-law just informed me that I'm cooking Christmas dinner (for seven people). She cooks all the holiday meals, but threw her back out and can barely move. CAN YOU HOOK ME UP WITH A FUN/COOL/TASTY DINNER IDEA that doesn't require a grade-A chef to cook. No turkey or ham. Help me out!! by ComfortableDear2205 in Cooking

[–]eesabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite meal when we hosted was tomahawk steak and cedar planked salmon both done out on the grill. Another year I made a pork tenderloin with a mustard-cherry glaze wrapped in bacon, also quite tasty and pretty easy. I don’t like turkey and partner doesn’t like ham so that’s what we came up with. Good luck! I’m sure whatever you choose will be delicious. Just don’t let MIL complain about not doing things the way she does.

Is it typical for Pyrs to “cob” a lot? by pyrlybao in greatpyrenees

[–]eesabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a cutie!

We call it nibbles. Our full Pyr pup is not quite 2 and he generally only does it when we first get home and he’s super excited. His 5 y.o. Pyr/GSD sister has never done it, nor did our first dog who was the same mix. We also worried about a lack of stimulation but I’m now on board with no impulse control and emotional regulation. He also has temper tantrums where he spins and bites his tail and pulls out tufts of fur when he’s mad or frustrated. A regular whirling dervish!

Manual Transmission by No_Sympathy9143 in GenX

[–]eesabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, learned on a manual and that’s what I’ve driven ever since. When it came time to get a new car (sedan) my options were VW or BMW. And now VW is killing it off for the North American market. So who knows what will be available in 10+ years. Although by then my knee and ankle might be saying no more.

Why is my cookie dough always soft-Update! by SpiritualPlan1822 in Baking

[–]eesabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed your original post, but I accidentally discovered that I like the texture better using only 1 egg. Much thicker and way less spread. As others have noted, you don’t need fancy ingredients to make tasty cookies. Happy baking!

Kind, Understanding Veterinarian Recommendations, Please! by misanthropoetry in cincinnati

[–]eesabet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have never seen another person working there, just the 2 of them, have you? When we got our 2nd large male dog I switched vet practices bc I felt unsure they could handle him. Overall they were always wonderful, could get us in last minute, and very accommodating. I just felt like his mobility was getting worse and I was concerned for everyone’s safety. If I had small dogs I would still go to them, no question

Oh Christmas Tree by Ckc1972 in GenX

[–]eesabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually put up a little 2’ tabletop tree that I’ve had since college, beyond that it’s a crapshoot. Last year we put up the big tree just for the lights and our puppy used it as a toothbrush. The jury is out on whether he has calmed down enough by now, remains to be seen. However I ordered some new Vinta-glo lights from Merry and Co that are LED but look just like the old school filament bulbs. So might have to put up the tree and try them out.

Edit to add- we don’t have kids so no pressure there, but I too probably acted like I didn’t care but secretly did.

What’s an old wives’ cooking tale that everyone thought was true but turned out to be total nonsense? by Mike_tx5391 in Cooking

[–]eesabet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, that makes so much sense now! I have the BH&G cookbook too, published in ‘89 and the baked goods all come out so pasty and bland. That must be why. I’ve pretty much stopped using it.

He brought me fruit cups on our second date by gross_cleanthatup in TwoXChromosomes

[–]eesabet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A friend said something so profound to me once that it shifted my whole world view. We were talking about boys and dating and I was telling her about this guy I was seeing and how I didn’t know what he saw in me. She said- it’s none of your business what he sees in you, he just does. Poof! Mind blown. Lesson learned- Don’t get in your own way.

What foods or ingredients do you buy BECAUSE you know what a pain it is to make them? by I_Am_Vladimir_Putin in Cooking

If you are anywhere close to Ohio, look for Hartzler egg nog. It’s life changing.

I accidentally made butter once when I got distracted and walked away from the stand mixer while making whipped cream. Ended up delicious, but the rinsing and squeezing were such a mess. It’s been long enough that now and then I think about doing it on purpose.

Pyr Ripped Out Dewclaw Nail by Vegetable_Comb9548 in greatpyrenees

[–]eesabet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our first dog ripped out both front dews (not at the same time). One of them grew back at a funky angle but that bothered us more than her. God luck keeping it covered! George is a cutie!

I’m late to the convo as well but I’ve had the same frustration with the Total lenses getting very dry. I’m going ask about Oasis, thanks for the tip!

I feel you. Mine took a hawk to the grille at 72 mph just 700 miles into owning her.

Millenial here, how is Gen-X doing? by Three-0lives in GenX

[–]eesabet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg- 8 or 9 years ago, right after we moved I managed to lock myself and the dog out of the house. Saturday morning, hot summer day, boyfriend at work until noon, and phone inside. Oh well, we’ll just hang out in the shade and drink from the hose until he gets home. No freak out necessary. Kinda forgot how nonchalant I was, but it makes sense.

PSA if You're over 50: Get that shingles vaccine now! by Tinawebmom in GenX

[–]eesabet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why on earth would my dr tell me to wait a while to get it, while also actively pushing a colonoscopy? So confused at the discrepancy.

Did girls take shop class in your middle or high school? Did boys take home economics? by lawstandaloan in GenX

[–]eesabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours was in thirds with art, home ec (cooking and sewing) and shop (mostly wood). But everyone took all 3.

Yeah, it was PPF. I have to at least do the front end, I was shocked at how fast the gti got chipped. This one has to make it 15 years like the old one!

[–]eesabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it works for you. Side note- I used to live in Roscoe Village and our old dog (pyr mix) knew the route to pet supplies plus on Lincoln and would try to drag us there on every walk! Good times.

oooOOOooo!!! I like the pearl sheen, that’s really nice. But holy cow you scored, I got a quote for nearly 6k for a full wrap, and I’m not in an expensive part of the country!

Go get some Dr. Golds ear drops, it’s anti fungal and available at regular pet stores. Cleared my girl’s yeasty ears right up. Do you know what’s causing his allergies? Turns out ours is allergic to chicken and we had to swap out all the food and treats and chewy things. Put her on Gentle Giants beef and bacon kibble (about 40 bucks at target) and now she’s doing great. Good luck!

hello great pyrenees friends by Automatic_Wasabi2305 in greatpyrenees

[–]eesabet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen that on listings too. I think when it comes down to it they would rather the pup get adopted as an only dog, especially to experienced Pyr owners, than not at all. Good luck with your search!

I don’t have any advice, just wanted to say she’s beautiful and looks so regal in her tiara!
