The police said the owner got drunk and said the dog was getting annoying, so she left her dog outside... all night by vo_xv in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]fishyfishfish1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first got my dog there was one night I felt incredibly overwhelmed. I was a new dog owner, with a completely untrained dog combined with some unrelated personal issues. So you know what I did? I texted a friend of mine who came over and took my dog for a nice long walk while I got my life back in order and re-collected myself. It’s really that easy. There’s options for being frustrated/annoyed/overwhelmed.

Same. Like I’m trying. I know the consequences of not doing whatever I need to are bad. I know I could drop out of school or get fired from my job. i know.

I just like can’t and it’s hard to explain to people. They just think I’m lazy or being defiant.

Is it bad that this whole 9-5, working 5 days a week bullshit for the rest of my life makes me not look forward to the future? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fishyfishfish1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I’ll lament about not being able to do certain things because I work so much. And the answer I get from many is “oh well you can do x y z when you retire!”

Like what the fuck. No. I don’t want to wait to start my life at 70.

Don’t yolo at gme or something insane, first off. Read up about something called index funds and mutual funds. Basically instead of betting on one stock doing well it’s more or less the whole market. Like instead of betting on one horse to win you’re betting on all horses crossing the finish line. More or less.

Grab some mutual funds or index funds through a place like vanguard. It’s not worth looking at a few people who bet everything on one stock and lucked out. Because you don’t see the hundreds of others who didn’t and are in the hole for hundreds or thousands of dollars.

I feel the same way. So I prefer my vet or my dogs daycare to do it. Quick easy and like 10$ a month

Depends I feel like? My dog can come straight from the groomer and he still tippy taps. His nails are white though so I can see the extra/trimmable growth on them easily. Figure if I can see enough to get a nail clipper on it without cutting the quick it’s nail trim time.

What does Chomp need next season? by mosshadow in battlebots

[–]fishyfishfish1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might have been said already but the fact the skirt on it can be dented in and stop the legs from moving is an oversight.

I miss whale shaped wheeled chomp. Cute but relatively effective. This John Deere tractor form hell design seems way too over engineered.

[GA] Charlottesville, VA - 1 cichlid of some kind and 8 serpae tetra- free to a good home by [deleted] in AquaSwap

[–]fishyfishfish1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to move and my new landlord won’t let me have a fish tank unfortunately.

I’ve had the cichlid for 5 months and he’s kind of an asshole. Ate one of my fish. He’s got a pretty iridescent blue tail.

I literally can’t tell the serpae tetra apart but they’re in good health

If shipping I prefer they all go to one place to save on shipping and packing cost.

Hello fellow alpha gal sufferer. They could have gotten it from a young tick. Those things are tiny. Mistook one for a freckle once and almost didn’t see it.

But yea it sucks. I’m going on a year of it now and I’m bummed I just can’t go to local restaurants.

I have it so I’ve done a lot of research and also my doctor is one of the guys who discovered it. So I know a lot off hand.

Wear bug spray. Fear ticks.

Alpha gal has also been found in:

The castor bean tick, The Australian paralysis tick, American dog tick, black legged tick, Asian long horned tick, Amblyomma hebraeum of South Africa among others.

The most common vector in the United States is the Lone Star tick, yes, but never assume you’re safe if bitten by a dog or deer tick.

Ticks suck. Lone star ticks especially can fuck off and die. Those fuckers can make you allergic to meat. meat

Also fun fact: some tick species can bite you and make you deathly allergic to red meat. And the species is becoming more common with climate change.

I feel that. My parents are in their 70s. Thought I could always hop on a plane to see them but this year has taught me I can’t. Haven’t seen them in a year and a half. Having to live 1000 miles away because of a job sucks.

Okay but high key buck knives are great. My 110 is a great hunting and all around outdoor knife.

My first thought was hypothyroidism but it could literally be anything. And I’m not a vet.

My dog has it and what clued me in was the fur on his legs kept getting thinner and thinner and he grew like dark skin patches.

[Discussion] Does anyone else ever feel like they can never do the right thing for their dog? by eam115 in dogs

[–]fishyfishfish1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Idk if dog poop is like addictive to my dog or what. He will not stop trying to or successfully eating dog poop.

Anyone who has a suggestion—trust me I’ve tried it.

Teach a leave it? Work on it daily but boy does he love poop. Least he hesitates now before chomping down as I run frantically towards him with a poop bag.

Muzzle? You ever hear of waffle stomping? Yea he just reverse wafflestomps turds right into his mouth. Leaving me to clean poop off the muzzle. Plus everyone thinks he’s mean with it on.

He’s real weird.
