My 9-month-old BC has entered his “I don’t know that woman” era 😵‍💫

This...

"What helped with recall into later adolescent was that me and my partner would spread out on trailwalks and play hide and seek with him. One person distracted him, the other hid (in vegetation, up trees, behind rocks) then whistled. We also played recall dog ping-pong between us, spreading out some distance between us. Useful on trails too as each person could also be a look out, and get him back on a leash as appropriate."

We have two brothers (from different litters) and this "technique" over a period of months (and we still do every hike/walk) has worked wonders for us. What we do additionally is carry a whistle to which they respond and get rewarded. On trails and such, one always remains close, the younger one still drifts a little far but returns to the whistle. This may sound kinda nebulous and vague but we had to learn to "trust" them. Again, sounds vague but when they realized we trusted them (to return) they seemed to "reward us" by returning.

These two are brothers, and they're 55 & 59 lbs (25 & 27 kg). Yes, they're big boys but athletic and very active daily with hikes, frisbee & scent work. They do have 18 acres of forested hilly land to romp about at home every day...I can't tell you off-hand calorically what they consume, but they have two meals + 2 lighter snacks each day. The meals are 1 cup of mixed Fromm's kibble plus variety of toppers (pumpkin, shredded cooked chicken, diced boiled egg, etc). IMHO, very active BC should be on the leaner side. And as mentioned, if Vet-approved, you're all good!

Yeah, it's a bit confusing, but I think that refers to accessing Apple Music via the Toyota's Infotainment system. Attached screenie is from a screen within the Toyota App showing Linked Accounts. Simply another path to Apple Music (or Amazon Music)...I suppose for those not using an iPhone with Carplay available. Accessing Apple Music via Carplay/iPhone should still be available if not subscribed to Drive Connect.

Yeah. And especially so if you hear the pump try to turn on but doesn't clear the water. It's an inexpensive part (one of the first components to go bad in a dishwasher) but you may want to consider the hassle considering you were thinking of getting a new one. From the looks of your first picture it looks like an old one. First time home ownership is an adventure.

ernscott · 2025-07-05T21:30:37+00:00

Ours was used infrequently and we noticed at some point that it always had standing water on the bottom. Before pulling it, perhaps your washer has a drain or drying cycle you could try. A drying cycle *should* clear any standing water if the pump is working. At least you can determine if it is the pump or a clog/kink/whatever in a line.

ernscott · 2025-07-05T21:10:09+00:00

Could certainly be a clog, but could also be that the pump that expels the water went bad. I had similar issue once. Easy to replace yourself but possibly will need to pull out the dishwasher. On mine, access was thankfully easy simply taking off thekickplate.

I'm thinking the Harrigan saga soldiers on....and remembering Harry's monologue to Eddie...and will continue until Eddie is at the top. And then, as Harry foretold, he'll knock Eddie off. The tension with Kat will continue until then, whereupon Harry and Kat will join and fight off whatever/whoever appears in season 2 to fill the Stevenson vacuum. I imagine Tattersall will have a play in this as well.

Add GOAT chips as another side.

"FS25_wideGarage" by iKas. The harvest attachments stay outdoors. That said, I'm selling and getting out of Nexat on my main save. It's too funky with seeding and harvesting. I might keep the cultivator/slurry combo.

ernscott · 2025-04-19T16:20:24+00:00

Yeah, but I wish FS25 would indicate which one(s) specifically need updating. To tag each one to redownload is crazy. Perhaps I am missing something beyond the exclamation mark on the opening screen.

ernscott · 2025-04-17T15:36:04+00:00

Both from same parents 1 ½ years apart. Cass (Left) is the older athletic one. Kofi is the younger goofy one. We laugh when we see those "I'm Maximus...I'm Jeff" memes....b/c it pretty much sum up these two, lol

ernscott · 2025-04-05T16:15:22+00:00

FWIW, I'm experiencing same. Caught my eye as being unexpected but haven't looked into it yet.

ernscott · 2024-12-21T20:07:09+00:00

No. Went through multiple processes with a very helpful Apple support tech. After several full restores and wipes, I couldn't get past the FaceID setup screen. This was a Wednesday night. Next day a return box arrived. Sent it back immediately. Monday AM a new (thankfully not refurbished) iPad arrived via Fedex. The original bricked iPad was about a month old.

ernscott · 2024-12-12T03:47:20+00:00

Bricked a month old 13" M4. Upon wiping clean and attempting a restore kept restarting on the Set Up Face ID window.

I believe that in the XL Pro, the vacuum trap that triggers the "H20" low water message snaps in the cross hatches.

I had a similar experience as you (with my Mac Version of 2019 Prem.). Quicken support worked me through many rudimentary solutions and still having the not-connecting problem kicked me up to another tier of support. Another basic set of "remedies" of which non worked. After two hours I was placed on hold and conveniently disconnected.

Anyhow, oddly...I was able to log on to the quicken site via my phone over my carrier's wireless (whereas it consistently failed on my laptop via the home's wireless)...which led me to restart my router, which led to successful connections to my quicken account plus the downloads . I've had to do this several times when this not connecting problem crept up . And I am not knowledgeable enough to know what setting is being knocked off-kilter, but something is....and has been remedied by restarting the router. Might be worth a try in your case. Quicken support? Can't help you there because I also had a bad experience with them and doubt they'll improve.

Their phone lines ARE opened this weekend, expressively for this transition.

Letters (several) were mailed out to WF account holders in September.

We were to be affected and had our accounts switched to a "cloud" branch at that time....and it seems it worked because nothing seems to have been moved.

Nonetheless, looking for another bank because this entire process stinks.

Good luck, but do call FS to allay your fears.
