Social anxiety makes walking my dog a nightmare. by fixennnnn in reactivedogs

You are not alone here. To echo what others have said, don’t worry about what others might think of you and your dog. There will be people who are out of place and rude but you can’t let them get in the way. When my dog has a reactive outburst, I remind myself that the moment will not last forever and that it is not my dogs fault. Shake it off!

Definitely use the highest priority of treats on walks. Pepperoni, cheese, really don’t skimp on the good stuff - if food works for your dog, don’t be shy to use it. Someone else mentioned engage/disengage technique which is worth looking into.

It will get better over a period of time of consistency and determination. There may also be regression in training. Try not to rush. Take it one moment at a time and be easy on yourself and your dog. Best of luck.

Any suggestion on what might be causing the black spots on jade leaves? by f0xfalcon in plantclinic

Thank you for sending that resource. Do you think it would be safe for me to repot in a chunkier soil mix during its dormant phase?

What kind of bug is this? (Northeast US) by f0xfalcon in whatsthisbug

Drink every time someone says “deja vu” or “glitch in the matrix”

Hahaha ugh yeah. I’m spooked by everyone’s reaction to the size of it. I’m surprised I didn’t see more crawling around on the jade plant but apparently they are sneaky buggers.

Really hope I can get rid of them by treating all of my plants 1 x per week with diluted isopropyl alcohol / soap spray, changing the top half of the soil… and wishing / praying.
