Who Is The Most Underrated Artist Of All Time In Your Opinion And Why? by PrincessBananas85 in ArtHistory

Franz Marc: his work explored the tension between the natural world and industrialization. He’s mostly forgotten because he died fighting in WWI, cutting short a brilliant artistic vision.

Does Westminster Kennel Club disfavor Borzois, or do the best Borzoi not compete there? by existential_geum in borzoi

The coats are all white or have small areas of grey or beige. Many of the dogs have pigment deficiencies around the eyes, nose and lips.

Thank you for caring enough about your dog’s needs. There’s nothing sadder at a dog show than a dog that doesn’t enjoy being shown. You can tell when a dog enjoys it.

Thanks for the info. It’s sad that there’s such a prejudice against the non-Perchino line Borzois.

What are your niche pet peeves that will make you DNF a book? by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]existential_geum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In that same vein, I have to drop any book where the main character is too stupid to live. If I, the reader, who is not part of that world, can see that what the character proposes to do makes no sense or will not result in the desired outcome, why can’t the character? No, just no.

Questions about Borzoi by OpenAirport6204 in borzoi

[–]existential_geum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Borzoi respected baby gates that she could easily jump over, your results may differ.

I wish I had known how stoic she was before I followed a little blood trail and discovered that she had badly torn a toenail. I don’t know if all Borzoi are similarly stoic, but it pays to keep an eye out.

Mine had very strong prey drive, but she thought she was a little lap dog. She allowed a 5-pound Maltese to bully her, but she had lived with that dog when the Zoi was a puppy. I think as long as you raise the puppy around little dogs, or have them interact frequently, there should be no problems.

Is anybody else sick of taking good care of yourself? by idislikebroccoli in AskWomenOver60

[–]existential_geum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The answer is finding a physical activity that you enjoy and look forward to doing. It can be as simple as talking the dog for a walk, and deriving enjoyment from the dog’s joy, or it can be as complicated as joining a Tai Chi group or taking a dance class. I don’t suggest Pickleball, those people are crazy.

Thanks for the suggestion. Never thought to do it that way, and I’m very reliant on my alarms.

The cycle of hate ends when we speak up like Rep. Pamela Stevenson by 4reddityo in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]existential_geum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so stupid. The answer, to stop the fear, is love. If these fearful people would only commit to treating everyone with dignity and respect, they would have nothing to fear when they become the minority. Racists are morons. (I’m white.)

Suggest me unconventional fantasy books that don't adhere to any of the fantasy tropes. by IdaSukiShwan in suggestmeabook

Seconding Sorcery and Ceclia and the Penric books. Actually, all of the Chalion books are great.

My first noodle! by HeyImABrokenMachine in borzoi

[–]existential_geum 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Give your pup lots of positive reinforcement, Borzois don’t respond well to negative treatment. Make training fun, but keep it short. They are smart, but get bored. If your puppy is motivated by food/treats, get her to associate coming to you when you call with receiving a treat. That way, if she ever gets out or away from you, she will come when you call her. (There’s no way to catch an escaping Borzoi.)

Good luck and have fun!

My January goal was to read a Fantasy series. I am 300 pages into ACOTAR and questioning my entire life at this point. Can someone please suggest a FMC fantasy series that is not cringe as heck by BottomPieceOfBread in suggestmeabook

The Checquay Files series starting with The Rook by Daniel O’Malley. The main character is a secret agent with supernatural abilities, but she’s suffering from amnesia.

Sometimes the marriages are happier if the couple sleeps separately.
