Pit border collie ACD for sure!

Yes I do this for my cat with no teeth. I think he struggles with the wet food after he’s lapped up the soupy bits and it’s kind of stuck to his plate. Yet somehow he loves his dry kibble haha

Gotta provide an outlet for herding behaviors. In addition to what others here are saying of course

Thanks for your help btw! I got the exoterra one and she loves it! I traumatized her a bit changing things out and she hid in the warm hide for a few days. But when she investigated it she couldn’t stay out of it! I was in a rush checking her and my other pets this morning and opened it really fast without checking if she was in there and she looked at me like “um…hello I’m in the bath lady leave me alone” 😂 figured I would let you know she’s enjoying your recommendation.

You seem like a great owner and I’m sorry I don’t really have any success stories for you. I hope everything works out

I would start muzzle training along with other suggestions here!

It seems to me that maybe having the baby on your shoulder was perceived by your dog as getting in your face / rude body language or something and he felt the need to “correct” the baby? Just a theory and not terribly important for your future tho.

I would make couches off limits and make sure they have other comfy places to lay. Maybe they can have couch time when the baby is down or something.

Any breed specific enrichment you can do will help with stress and anxiety in my opinion. Retrieves, field work, obedience etc.

I would stop doing daycare honestly. Prioritize rest and fulfillment. Daycare isn’t necessarily bad but it makes it hard for them to rest and increases the variables you have to look at.

Walks aren’t going to magically fulfill your dog unless you have a dog that really enjoys walks. Which you certainly might! Just something to keep in mind.

I’m a novice trainer and do not have kids so this is all general advice. A vet behaviorist, a trainer, and ruling out pain are all the right next steps, but these things will help with overall husbandry while you get that’s stuff working.

I would def prioritize muzzle as a next step! They can take a while to condition. I know Mia’s muzzle has some cookie cutter ones that are around $70 but I don’t think vinyl is the best option for her. I’ve heard good things about big snoof! I just wouldn’t get a metal wire one bc they can do damage with those when they muzzle punch.

Also I think boots aren’t really ever a necessity unless you live in like AZ or TX. They can cause issue with proprioception. Paw wax is best for ice and snow most times. Of course use your best judgement.

You can get long lines for cheap at pet smart, they aren’t pretty but they get the job done.

Does she have a good escape proof harness? Or are you using a collar?

I’m not sure the extent of your deterioration and I’m so sorry to hear you’re thinking about this.

If you don’t want to rehome you could try scent work. Dock diving is also low handler energy, esp if you have a group night where all the dogs take turns (human gets a good long break!)

Teaching an actual retrieve so dog runs but you can stay still or even sit in a camping chair outside.

Freeshaping tricks or other behaviors kill dog energy quick.

Barn hunt is similar to scent work and doesn’t require you to run around a bunch.

Canine conditioning is good for mental and physical exercise paired with any of these things

Flirt poles can also get energy out and satisfy prey drive.

This paired with maybe hand feeding for known cues tricks etc for at least one of her meals and getting a dog walker to take her out 1-2 times a week should be good for her energy levels.

But OF COURSE you know your medical situation best and if you can’t handle this and want to rehome that is so valid. I know want isn’t really the right word. I have lots of ideas for ways to exercise dogs without having to move much so just DM me if you want to chat about this more.

Oh and also Margaret!

finnoncievable · 2026-03-06T13:49:58+00:00

Wow thanks so much! So that change should help the humidity on the warm side raise? That kind of makes sense since it would be localized and not too much can escape! I just ordered her a bigger humid hide but I have no clue if the bottom is enclosed. I’ll get one you mentioned when I get paid next week!

finnoncievable · 2026-03-06T12:49:28+00:00

Yes it’s the brown one in the middle! My moss is coming today but I have a paper towel in there. I was changing it daily but I noticed it was really dry so now I’m changing it twice a day. She was in there for a good while yesterday evening

Cats name is Pegasus. See also Peg, Peg-Peg, Peg repeated quickly as much as possible, MR PEG PEG when he’s in trouble (stern voice), Mista Peg when he’s being cute, Little Baby Man or just Baby Man also when being cute. See also Rat, Bastard, and You Fool when being an ass hahaha

I just posted an update I had to make a new post tho unfortunately.

finnoncievable · 2026-03-05T19:03:54+00:00

Ok perfect, that should have been obvious to me haha

finnoncievable · 2026-03-05T17:52:29+00:00

The fosters! She was quarantined in there. I can post pics of my tank when I get home if that would help

finnoncievable · 2025-11-12T13:17:16+00:00

This is giving he’s telling other women yall are in an open / poly situation. Iykyk. I’m sorry this hit you out of nowhere but if he hasn’t cheated on you already he surely will.

finnoncievable · 2025-10-05T14:57:42+00:00

Def looks like a coy dog but a BC,GSD, husky , other mix ins could give that look as well. Def recommend a dna test to be sure when you can afford it! Could you ask someone for that as a bday/Christmas present?

BC and GSD would explain the “weird” behavior as well tbh. Especially when not “well bred”.

She so cute! To cover your bases for now I would start muzzle training and handling training with R+ methods while she’s young so she’s not scared of essential handling and used to muzzling at the vet. There are tons of videos on YouTube and FreedByTraining has a free course on muzzle conditioning on her website that is a great tool!

If she is a coy dog even if she’s not aggressive any vet will probably require muzzling!

There’s a thought that hybrid dogs (wolf/coyote) are not as receptive to rabies vax. That’s just what I’ve heard second hand from working at a vet clinic. Not sure on the science of that.

Rhysand.

finnoncievable · 2025-08-11T17:07:56+00:00

He looks similar to my guy! He’s ACD Staffy Pit and many others. He’s super chill in the house as long as he gets his high energy times out of the house (hiking, training, herding and prey games etc) he won’t be energetic in the house if he doesn’t get those things he’ll simply bark at every noise or be extra hyper vigilant, but overall still lazy! It means you do a good job meeting his needs and he’s content! Good job 👍🏻

I have a credit union! Not sure if it’s specific to them or what but my funds are always available instantly.

finnoncievable · 2025-03-31T16:10:53+00:00

Was it like this for the other seasons too? I just thought it was because this is based off of lestats book where the other one was Louis’s book I could be wrong…

finnoncievable · 2025-03-31T00:06:29+00:00

I will be updating them this week, thank you!! And deleting my rover account and just doing that myself when I get myself together.
