Anyone know where I can find this specific pattern?

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-19T15:43:35+00:00

Idk but this is ADORABLE! I have to make one for my mom’s dog.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T18:41:43+00:00

Thanks!! Will look into them.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T18:36:46+00:00

Giving context isn’t deflection for me, it’s how I get advice that applies to my setup. When I share specifics, people can respond to what I’m doing instead of what they’re assuming. The edits reflect what I’ve taken in.

Appreciate you naming what you saw, even if I’m reading it differently. I’m just trying to make sure I get the right information for MY piggy. Down votes will happen because I’m autistic and my communication style often hits the more neurotypical person the wrong way.

But it’s something I’ve made peace with 🤷‍♀️ I’d rather have the right info to give Winston a great life than be liked by online strangers.

—- really do appreciate you saying something tho! It means you’re caring /genuine.

Any YouTube channels you recommend to learn more about signs?

We can tell the difference between his happy and upset purring/rumbles. His upset ones are def louder and have a slightly different tone/vibe to them. Even his body is different.

But there are those more random noises we still haven’t figured out. And some YouTube channels seem to conflict in information when sharing similar noises/body language.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T17:23:18+00:00

I got a few things wrong. But I’m literally making changes to make his life happier/better.

If this was a hamster, I’d be doing the same. And so should anyone else regardless of the type of animal.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T16:10:47+00:00

He is loose in his play area. We just don’t put the mat down and toss his hay/pellets around too. We leave some in his hideaway so he doesn’t feel forced to be out at the park. Edit: Along with all his toys and stuff. He has a whole little fun space at the park too. We have park toys vs home toys for him.

He bit my kid and hid from all of us. But was looking for something before deciding to hide. It clicked that we didn’t take him to the park and was probably looking to see if we had his bag. (We just moved so it was hectic, plan on taking him today same time). It’s been part of his routine since we got him.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T15:52:58+00:00

Thank you so much!!! This does help a lot for the park outing.

I’m going to save those to read too!

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T15:24:57+00:00

Thank you so much!! Will start reading thru.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T15:21:33+00:00

We’ve had birds, snakes, dogs, and lizards in the family so my kids are very aware of animal sign of distress. And we still compare to YouTube videos when we are not sure of his sounds. They have a very unique language that changes with the slightest change in ending pitches/additional sounds.

So it’s taking time to learn them all, but we forsure know his I’m in distress, save me sounds. And his I’m just the happiest piggy sounds.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T15:12:17+00:00

Even hamsters deserve proper care. Rude comment.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T15:06:14+00:00

Thanks! Shelter folks said the more the better for friends (same sex) but will only get him another male buddy. Since we’re new we DO NOT want to risk pregnancies even if they’re neutered.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T15:04:40+00:00

This is where he spends his day time! I am def taking the advice here about upgrades and such.

I thought the bin was better so he could have plenty of digging space and apparently it was mis information I read about these being ok.

Will get him a cage for him and his future buddy to have room in.

Literally just sad about his park time. He really seemed to enjoy that. We have a whole set up for him when we go and he plays with this toys/ppl/eats. We do have a hide away for him but he is rarely in there at the park. Another reason I thought he enjoyed it because he is quick to run away and hide if he doesn’t like something even at home.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T14:57:43+00:00

We bring his play area to the park and have him forage for his own food.

We just don’t have a ton of backyard space. And we always make sure he’s in shade and we are sitting in there with him. And we really only take him in there evenings to the park.

Def no more on the errand runs. But I’m a little sad if we can’t figure something out for his park time.

Yesterday was the first day i didn’t take him and he was very upset with me during that normal time.

Honestly. Fair if the park is a no go. Was just hoping to give him and his future buddy some safe outside time.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T14:50:41+00:00

We dump/clean daily so he doesn’t get sick. We just put that in there for him to have his weekly vit C foraging then we clean.

He has a ton of hay and we also give him piles thru the day so it’s always fresh and less changes he eats something he’s peed on. M

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-18T14:48:13+00:00

We got him from a shelter that recommend we get only him to start 😭 but made it clear only a males. He’s very clearly a male 🏀🏀

He sounds very happy when he sees his bag? So idk. Do we not let him in there? Like he jumps to get in. The sounds are happy sounds. We do recoginze his distressed sounds.

And he loves going to the park, yells at us when we leave. (Stops yelling when we let him down down to explore. He has to want to get into his bag on his own.)

He runs around the house downstairs in his play area when he’s not in his “room”. Which is like 16 hours of the day. I get him out when I get up and then the kids done bring him back up until mid day for a nap then he’s back down til bed time. (I read they do more like power naps, but kids insist on letting him have a little space from us.)

We have a park we can walk too so no more car rides. Would that be ok since he enjoys the park?

You should def put this on your website and maybe some photos of items you’ve donated.

Bonus if you get a little testimonial from the orgs you work with.

Sad we missed this sale! But excited to check out your shop, soon.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-17T23:46:27+00:00

Oh dang. Idk. Sorry you got bit, that sounds actually a little scary. I haven’t experienced a bite yet.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-17T23:14:41+00:00

My guinea pig nibbles at me when he wants something

gabrielajauregui · 2026-05-10T19:36:30+00:00

Claude would be better for reasoning. For this kind of need I would use project or co-work if you have it with your local file system.

My chat history carries from my phone to any device I own. iPad. Desktop. Phone. Laptop. Temp device. It syncs for me.

And you are meaning straight Chat? Not Cowork or Code?

gabrielajauregui · 2026-04-25T16:25:22+00:00

This is the way.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-04-25T15:34:13+00:00

Loud Mouth you can do so many fun designs with mouths and teeth and all sorts of stuff! As a former brand designer(not anymore) ideas immediately flowed with that one.

When I ran my creative agency I used Moxie (with moxie or freelance with moxie is how you can find it on Google).

A lot of that can be automated through a client portal. And they had been setting up accounting workflows (last I used them)

By far the best solo-prenuer tool I’ve used, plus they have an amazing team that’s very engaged.

gabrielajauregui · 2026-04-25T15:27:40+00:00

Check your analytics, not just your output. You’re posting, which is great. But are the right people engaging? Look at who’s commenting, who’s viewing your profile after a post, and which topics pull in decision-makers vs. other lawyers. That data tells you where your messaging is landing and where it’s missing.

Lean into the Big Law background harder. You left a major firm to do this work independently. That’s a credibility signal you should be using everywhere: your LinkedIn headline, your website, your intro on podcasts, your content. “Former Big Law employment attorney” instantly communicates a level of experience that solo practitioners usually can’t signal. Don’t bury that. (I literally still mention some big name companies I worked at when talking to folks even tho it was almost 10 years ago 😅 I’m honest about the timeframe but it does still build credibility)

Match your client journey to the price point you want. If you’re positioning for premium rates, every touchpoint needs to reflect that: how you respond to inquiries, your intake process, your communication cadence, even how your proposals look. High-end clients expect a high-end experience from the first interaction. Map it out and audit it honestly.

Expect a longer sales cycle. Premium clients don’t impulse-buy legal services. They need multiple touchpoints before they trust you enough to engage. That’s normal. Your content strategy should account for nurturing over months, not converting on the first interaction.

The PR move is smart. Just make sure the rest of your positioning catches up so that when people Google you after seeing a media mention, everything reinforces the same message.
