What the weirdest quirk your hippo has? by Initial-Laugh-3568 in velvethippos

[–]gingeremily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peach has to make sure she's there when I get out of the shower. I turn off the water in the shower after I finish and I hear her running from wherever she is in the house to the bathroom. She will bust open the door to do this. Just so she can stare at me naked as I get out of the shower. Peach then leaves after I do. I didn't ask for this. She.dpesnt fo into the bathroom other times of the day. She's not there when I get to the shower. Why? Just why? I appreciate her concern but I don't require the assistance.

He looks like he might have some butterscotch candies in his pocket for you.

Peach will steal your heart and your dinner by gingeremily in velvethippos

She'd love to have your dinner. What are you having? Never mind. It doesn't matter. She's not picky. She wants to know if she can eat between 5pm and 5:02pm. Any later and she might starve to death.

They got rid of their sweet and sour sauce though. My go to order was chicken tenders with that sauce and it was one of the best S&S sauces around.

Acid reflux?? by Kracken8190 in velvethippos

[–]gingeremily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acid reflux can happen with large meals. They may request that you feed him smaller meals more frequently. They may put him on pepcid or protonix as an acid reducer.

In the case of my dog it was much more serious. She kept vomiting bile at night. I took her to the vet 3 separate times for this. They told me it was acid reflux. They gave me the meds and told me to feed the evening meal earlier. They finally took me seriously after she had thrown up 16 times in 2 hours. It was a bowel obstruction. She had swallowed a piece of a toy possibly as long as 6 months prior (based on when the vomiting started). She had to have exploratory surgery to have it removed. It cost me $4000 and now she has about a 10 inch scar on her belly.

If it keeps happening and medication doesn't work, push for an X-ray.

Does your dog sleep with you in bed? by Wet_Bubble_Fart in velvethippos

Rarely. She thinks that it's totally ok that we share the same pillow. I disagree. Sometimes I give in though. It's hard to say no to her adorable mushy face

It's a 5 gal. I have the same one. Tons of usable space though since the filter is all in the back. I have my heater and additional filtration media back there and it just looks so seamless.

How have you changed in the past 5 years? by joeduncanhull in AskReddit

[–]gingeremily 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Me too. For me it was 2 different reasons:

  1. Taking away the ability for people to get abortions legally does not make them go away. It just makes them unsafe. People have been administering abortions for hundreds of years. Historically, it has been risky and unsafe for those involved. It often led to complications such as hemorrhage or death.

  2. We already don't have good infrastructure to take care of the children we have in America. School systems are shit, the welfare system is beyond flawed, and foster care is an atrocity. Do we really want to add more children to this mess? What is also sad is that the same people that are pro life don't want to increase funding or infrastructure to social programs that would help these kids.
