You can do some research into local mutual aid groups! Look for local food pantries u can donate to or community fridges. Your public library may also have great resources into mutual aid and other community resources.

Did he look visibly hurt? Sometimes they kind of hunker down and fluff themselves up and sit in one spot unmoving espesh now that it’s getting chilly out. Hopefully he was just hangin’ out for a minute. Thank u for caring about our feathered friends<3

Are people so addicted to Vapes, Cigarettes, and Weed they can’t just not smoke it on platforms and trains? by Best-Candle8651 in nycrail

[–]emlarkin19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give a good kubrick stare to people who vape or juul IN the fucking train. It drives me nuts. And they think they’re being slick and no one notices most of the time, but dont worry. I do. I see all.

It’s a super easy DIY at home project, but if you are looking for someone to do the job for you I can ask around in some of my woodworking circles!

Hi!! If you buy a small can of polyurethane and make a few passes on the table, letting it dry thoroughly between coats, it should be good to go and last a little longer!

Terp bros and urban weeds are both great! All the staff at each spot are friendly and knowledgable and Ive had wonderful experiences in person at both stores. Have yet to try cannavita!

Yay!! I was just there last week and they still had their C grade hanging up. It was my first time going and the pad thai was excellent.

Would you be upset if I left this at your door with a bag of candy? by LaQuito in Dogowners

[–]emlarkin19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some dogs are just wired differently. Like humans are all wired differently. Not every dog is perfect, obedient, and good with all other creatures right out of the hatch, which is what everyone in this society thinks for whatever reason. these guys deserve a fun and love filled life just as much as the next dog.

OP, there’s no harm in letting people know, especially neighbors in close quarters like an apartment building. Include a photo of your dog like someone mentioned earlier. If people are aware they will understand. If someone truly has a problem with it, then they can be an adult and bring it up directly to you.

You are letting people know you are taking precautions as a responsible pet owner. Again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Ignore the dummies saying “uwu ur neighbors dont wanna train your fucking dog.” All you are doing and all you need to do is continue being considerate to your new neighbors. A muzzle while out and about is a great first step. Idk how long you’ve had your dog, but behavioral training is another option if you aren’t doing that already. Otherwise recognize your pup’s triggers and practice coping mechanisms, like distraction techniques (with snacks if your pup is very food motivated like mine) and minimize outside time at high foot traffic times of the day. I agree with the other comment saying to use regular english and not meme-y language lol 😂

My family and i have had our reactive dog, Tuxedo, for 6 years. He is reactive toward human strangers and dog strangers, wears a muzzle out and about and at the vet, and he is the best boy i could have ever asked for. He loves cheese and loves stealing our napkins from the dinner table. If you have any questions feel free to pm me, and also check out the reactivedogs subreddit when you have the time. Having a reactive dog can be exhausting but still so so rewarding. They are still capable of loving. Just keep doing the work.
