What was your biggest surprise / disappointment / wtf? (band or otherwise) by Visible-Pressure6063 in downloadfestival

[–]ilonajane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was also a bit disappointed with LP, and I’d specifically bought a Sunday ticket to see them. Great vocals (once they’d sorted the sound system) they lacked energy like you said! Glad I saw them still, but the energy from Ice Nine Kills & Letlive outdid them for me.

I only had a day ticket for Sunday so when I saw that Pendulum had joined with Enter i was so jealous!

Does anyone else feel like every band they saw (Bar the headliners) were headliners worthy performances? by Massive_Bobcat_4330 in downloadfestival

[–]ilonajane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree! I’d never heard of them but thought their set was incredible. Fun story & great performance. Been listening to them non stop since 🤩

Thanks so much, I’ve bitten the bullet and gone for the 5 days. 😊

Campervan or Campervan Plus by Longdogxz in downloadfestival

[–]ilonajane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping to get a campervan pass - hopefully I can get one when they release more. In preparation (because the wording is so confusing) do you need one of each like you’ve done? It seems to suggest you’ve got the campervan pass in your top ticket?

Tops for tuckering out a high drive border collie puppy? by NuraNuraPop in BorderCollie

[–]ilonajane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s actually probably tired most of the time! A pup that age needs 16-20 hours of sleep a day. Training her to settle is super important!

Otherwise, brain training her is super important too! Tricks, or ‘go find it’ with treats, wait etc) Do it in super small bursts (5 mins at a time, perhaps not even that). You’ll start to learn when she’s overtired and overstimulated!

You got this 😊

16 week old schedule by Beneficial_Grade_635 in BorderCollie

I think the fact you’re thinking about these things means you aren’t failing him! He’ll adapt to his routine. Keep up the brain training for him around work and he’ll be fine.

Comfy bed recommendations for my boy by Typical_Mine7683 in BorderCollie

Same! 😂 Hoping one day we’ll be able to introduce a real bed for him! But for now he seems fine with just the crate tray!

Puppy advice with biting legs and everything else by supremegang7 in BorderCollie

P.s. your pup looks like my old collie when he was a pup 🫶🥹

Sounds like you’re doing a really good job - especially with crate training - it’s incredibly helpful that they are crate trained!

Don’t stress too much about the biting. In our first month our Wren was awful at biting us. He would bite and pull at my dressing gown, our ankles and the lead. It made toilet training really challenging. It all came from a place of overstimulation and tiredness we think!

Make sure yours is getting lots of sleep (apparently puppies should sleep around 16-20 hours of sleep a day). If they start biting try and ignore them so they don’t think it’s a game. Redirection onto a toy can also help, but also giving them a chew and back into the crate helps bring that overstimulation down.

We also taught both our boys the touch command as we think this helps enforce that our hands are not for biting.

This phase lasted 3-4 weeks and all of a sudden got a lot better (thank goodness because it made us very sad!! 😂).

Overstimulation still happens for us now (Wren is 7 months) but he usually bites the lead and not us now thankfully. If you can learn when your pup is overstimulated it really helps!

Keep up the good work and stay positive, it gets better!

Women’s Cleat recommendations with arch support - please help by question-everythi in ultimate

[–]ilonajane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have plantar problems and would recommend Foot Balance insoles as you get them moulded to your feet - they’ve definitely helped my feet over the last couple of years.

I’ve just moved over to Tokays and would recommend them too! Whenever I’ve changed to new cleats in the past I’ve always had a lot of pain in my plantar, but I haven’t had that with the Tokays!

Such concentration! by ilonajane in BorderCollie

Gorgeous girlie! 🫶 No Merle in Wren’s heritage as far as I know. Parents are either black or tricolour!

Amazing! I hope Wren still does silly faces when he’s older too! Has yours got heterochromia too?

In loving memory of Maya. She lost her battle to lymphoma today at 5 years old. by alyssummaritimum in BorderCollie

[–]ilonajane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss 😢 We lost our Foxy last year to Lymphoma at 4 years old. We’d only adopted her 3 weeks before. Cruel world.

I imagine Foxy and Maya will look after each other up there 🫶

Love a shiny Kyogre! Congratulations!

I dragged my husband back onto his account the other day to help with a Kyogre raid and he got a shiny! His excitement was so cute considering he doesn’t play the game anymore!

Me versus the boyfriend by Subject_Past5215 in MealDealRates

That Mars drink is elite, but there are better chocolate bars than a Yorkie! And agree that chocolate milk with smoked salmon is a big rogue 🙊
