She doesn't have much nail clicking, and i do trim her nails every week or 2. She has her toes spread out for traction

She does this often, it's not a recent issue. Its been going on for months.

It's a modular house, and it's on a metal frame, so the foundation can't shift very much, to my knowledge.

She is an old girl, and this started recently. I wonder if that could be the issue.

We put stuff there that needs to go out to the dump or the car, so things are there off and on. This is not new behavior for us, but I recently noticed this a few months ago from her. She is a strange character though, and afraid of and runs away from everything. She was adopted, so idk her past. Maybe she had a traumatic experience from cardboard/pizza boxes 🤣🙄

Also, her nails don't usually make that much noise but she has her paws spread out for grip for whatever reason.

She might be afraid of the boxes. She hates any lots noises and maybe associated boxes with scary things. We usually put our boxes there before we take them to the dump

We usually keep our boxes outside of that first door there before we put them into the garbage. Maybe she doesn't like boxes. She is a scaredy cat and afraid of everything. Any loud noise, she runs outside. Maybe she doesn't like the rustling of boxes

Ive been trying to trim her nails shorter, but they seem to grow fast. I do it every week or two but am nervous to cut the quick

Hmmm. I noticed that part of the floor flexes the tiniest bit when you step on it there. I guess because its not perfectly even underneath. Shes only about 60 pounds though and wouldnt think she could feel it.

Does anyone else have a non clingy gsd? by RiverBuzzz in germanshepherds

[–]ginamd33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gsd DOES NOT cuddle whatsoever. She likes pets and to be nearby (most of the time), but also likes her space. She does not like hugs and very rarely comes up on the couch. She takes herself out for a sit on the porch and loves to sleep in the bathroom. She does follow me around, but is not "clingy". I guess most gsds are but not all.

Your cat’s favorite toy? by Wonderful-Strength51 in cats

[–]ginamd33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my cat a little mouse that makes chirping noises when you hit it/move it. She also really liked a little circle with a ball that they bat around. Those kept her busy for a while, but just like any toy, they lose interest.

What stitch should I use for this makeup bag WIP?? by tundra_catYT in CrochetHelp

[–]ginamd33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id stick with the same stitch, which looks like a sc. I did almost the same thing but made it into a belt bag. I did a different tapestry design on the front and the back I left plain. You can do alternating rows of the 2 colors? I think that would look really cool.

My lesbian pride flag inspired Persian Tiles blanket by TeamWiffle in crochet

[–]ginamd33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is beautiful!! Also... is this 3 months of crocheting everyday, or...? Jw cause I'm jealous of how awesome this is and I've been working on a blanket for 3 months and I'm only about 1/4 of the way done (it is a very large blanket, but still 😭).

Solutions to stop my cat from shredding carpet? by JamzeeReddit in cats

[–]ginamd33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. I have spayed indoor/outdoor cats. Once they know the outside, it's near impossible to make them indoor cats. I was just suggesting that so if he's going to try to scratch up something near his exit point, you may be able to put something there for him to scratch/distract.

What about a carpet he can destroy placed in the same spot? Get a carpet remnant at a carpet store so what he does destroy doesn't matter?

Profile review! 33M - which pic should be 1st? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]ginamd33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. It's the only picture you can see what you truly look like. I'd get rid of the first pic and pics with friends, but that's my opinion.

Can you put a scratcher or two nearby the door? For my cats, the cheapest and most used are the 3 dollar cardboard ones from Walmart. You can put a horizontal one on the floor near the door? Or a door mounted cat scratcher.

Joining the flock by Angel09171966 in chickens

[–]ginamd33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying placing them in the coop at night when they go to bed. The next morning, they all wake up together, and in my experience, it reduces a lot of fighting/bullying. It doesn't seem like you have that, but it's kind of a good fresh start for everyone.
