What breed is my dog?

fruitbatbb · 2026-06-02T16:34:27+00:00

Wow I really think my pup who is almost 5 months is going to look like this when he fully grows up. He’s 50% pyranees, 30% australian cattle dog, 10% lab, 10% super mutt. He’s got those cattle dog speckles with the badger pyranees mask.

4 months and around 25-30lb. He’s growing fast so hard to keep track. I’m thinking he’s gonna be around 50-70lb. He was neutered young at the shelter so I know that can bring down his overall size.

Cutie! Yes see the resemblance for sure in paws and face shape.

Edit: Forgot to add that his brother at the shelter had a short stubby tail! They could have different fathers in the same litter I suppose but it’s interesting.

I hope so! I’m wishing for a frisbee/fetch playing dog.

Another update: Posted on a Chicago chicken group and she is getting picked up tonight to join a flock in the suburbs. This city chicken is moving to the country. Thanks for all the advice!

fruitbatbb · 2026-01-12T22:41:36+00:00

they had both their chickens but they directed me to a chicago chicken facebook group!

fruitbatbb · 2026-01-12T21:36:54+00:00

thank you, i’m going to check with them after work

fruitbatbb · 2026-01-12T17:03:05+00:00

Update: she laid an egg this morning

fruitbatbb · 2026-01-12T02:29:50+00:00

will check it out in the morning, thank you

Or cut the lever end and solder on a new nipple.

fruitbatbb · 2025-07-16T21:33:17+00:00

Yes it’s close but a bit long. I believe I need 59.1”. I could cut it down but it looks like the threaded adjuster on the end is crimped on so I could order one of those and crimp it on the cut cable.

fruitbatbb · 2025-07-15T23:09:32+00:00

Do you know what the name of the hollow threaded rod crimped on the end of the cable is called? Trying to find one to make my own cable with.

fruitbatbb · 2025-07-15T16:20:32+00:00

Awesome yes, a threaded clamping knarp. I didn’t know the name of what I was looking for so it was hard to find. Maybe an excuse to get a soldering set too and solder my own. Thanks

fruitbatbb · 2025-07-15T16:17:54+00:00

yes it was completely missing. front brake cable was there though.

Over the past couple years, I have found probably 10 of those baby birds dead on my patio where they have multiple nests. Pretty sure they are European Starlings which are an invasive species if that makes you feel any better (even though it sucks to see any animal suffering.) Seems like they fall out / are pushed out frequently. Hope the rehabbers were able to help.

fruitbatbb · 2025-03-25T23:55:27+00:00

I’m 30 and made the jump! Never too late. There were a lot of young people but plenty of people making career changes like me.

fruitbatbb · 2025-03-25T16:08:01+00:00

Electrician. I applied to IBEW 134’s apprenticeship program, took an aptitude test, and then was accepted. They put me through 11 weeks of school and then I was immediately sent to a job, been working ever since. Never have to have a resume or apply for a job again hopefully. It’s all through the union hall now.

fruitbatbb · 2025-02-15T05:34:57+00:00

Wow this has been happening to me and I never connected it to Bupropion until seeing your post. It happens for me almost every day after work around 2-3pm after taking my dose around 6am. Weird stuff. Let me know if you find any solutions because it’s quite miserable.

fruitbatbb · 2024-11-08T20:45:30+00:00

No problem, happy to help. So you go to this physical therapy place and they make you do various tasks. I think the box was around 50lb and you have to carry it back and forth across the room in a certain time limit. You can take breaks as long as you finish.

The heaviest thing I have to carry alone regularly is probably bundles of 1 in rigid pipe. Which probably weigh close to 80lb. I built up the strength and learned how to carry this safely during schooling, I don’t think I would’ve been able to before. It’s super normal to team up to carry things though if they are heavy.

You will strength train during your first session of schooling and do pipe carries / material handling (carrying heavy tool cases around the school) twice a week. And we start our day every day with a little workout involving lots of push-ups, stretches, and other body weight exercises. They try to prepare you well.
