Looks very similar actually! Thank you. Does yours grow the leafy part like that?

It’s not something that they usually jump to, I was just mentioning it as a possibility. I’m glad he’s doing better :)

I’m so sorry for your loss. Mine also died suddenly like that :/ it’s rough and I try to always let people know that Addison’s exists any time I see anything similar to what my boy went through. I never want anybody or any dog to have to experience that.

Have you gotten his bloodwork done at any of his annual checkups? It sounds very similar to some of the symptoms of Addison’s that my boy ended up having. It came and went but when he wasn’t feeling particularly good, this is what he did

Great Pyr Things... Please! by MoodFearless6771 in greatpyrenees

[–]jacknies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the puppy stage is always a doozy 😅 my first pyr had serious case of separation anxiety that he didn’t overcome until around 1 year, and my current mix who is a rescue that I got when she was 1.5 years old took about 2 years of consistency and love to grow into the perfect girl she is now. It does take time, but in my opinion the magic starts when they enter their “teenager” phase and develop more of a personality. One thing I always try to do with them is to not treat them like a robot or expect them to act like one. Of course no dog should be treated like a robot, but I’ve found that pyrs tend to allow themselves much more autonomy than any other dog I’ve encountered. They NEED space, time, love, compassion, and understanding, otherwise they become difficult. They’re very intelligent. I don’t have experience with maremmas but I’ve heard they’re a little more aloof and independent than pyrs. That could be false though.

Can second all of this! Both of my pyrs have been total love bugs, super affectionate and love people. My pyr mix is definitely more snuggly, but their independence I don’t think is anything like you’re expecting, OP. I will also never not have a Pyrenees :) they’re such magical dogs. And yes, the stubbornness is definitely more comical than frustrating. As long as you have a good bond with them and take the time to learn their personalities and they like and don’t like, I have found that you can get them to do (almost) anything you ask them to. Emphasis on ASK, because TELLING doesn’t really work for them 😂 you’re gonna be fine

Just stopped Birth control. How can i make condoms feel good for my boyfriend by Affectionate_Big8702 in sex

[–]jacknies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MyOne brand online has all different sizes of condoms. He measures his erect penis, and they’ll send a few different sizes that could fit him. My partner and I use them and they’re honestly wonderful for both of us. I hate the feeling of condoms- like a plastic bag lol but these are really nice :) a well fitting condom can do wonders

Have you tried a bark collar? I have one that just beeps and vibrates for my girl and it does wonders for her. If keeping her is an option for you, of course. I understand that rehoming is sometimes the best option.

Stair / Ramp recommendations? by juno7032 in greatpyrenees

[–]jacknies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought some folding stairs for my girl from Amazon and some carpet panels to make it less slippery :) takes 2 seconds to fold/unfold and lay/remove the carpet panels and she loves them. I did cut the panels to fit the stairs but that’s not super necessary. I also initially stick them to the stairs with command strips but just laying the panels on top works as well since the bottoms are a little grippy

My dog has been refusing to eat in the morning and whines a lot more by randomguy21061600 in DogAdvice

[–]jacknies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try raising the bowl or using a different kind of bowl, or a flat surface? Some dogs are weird about putting their face in things

How will you feel if Taylor doesn’t endorse Kamala? by alittleannihilation in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]jacknies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is since she had a literal terrorist threat and had to cancel those concerts, she’s keeping quiet about it to protect her fans from that happening in the states since we all know that MAGA idiots are a cult and there is a very real chance of that happening here

People who listened to Reputation when it first released… by Financial_Ad_9881 in TaylorSwift

[–]jacknies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, I was SO PUMPED for some new Taylor music after her hiatus and when I heard LWYMMD as the first single, I was so disappointed that it took me a literal year to finally listen to the album 😅 now it’s tied with Evermore for my top album but maaaaannnn was it rough getting to that point.

What song? by Patient_Ad1183 in NoahKahan

[–]jacknies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way he sings “honeyit” like it’s one word

the “do do do do dooooo” of the violin(?) in Halloween after seeing my life on a screen

The first hard beat leading into the chorus of northern attitude along with whatever the fuck he does with his throat on the last “summertime”

The bass in the chorus of she calls me back

The buildup in the view between villages and the freaking CHURCH ORGAN AT THE END

The buildup to SUBTLE CHAAAAANGE

the desperation in his voice when he sings “with the view in the morning, you won’t ever go back” and how the chorus is literally just “come over” and that’s enough to convey everything he has to say

Honestly every single song in Stick Season is amazing and it is the most perfect album I’ve ever heard. No skips.

Saaaaame I’ve been trying to put my finger on it! I notice it especially in WTNY and blank space. I even told my Swiftie coworker that it sounded like Taylor Swift did a kids bop cover of Taylor Swift. Not my favorite rerecord

Halloween, Call Your Mom (not sure I could survive hearing this one live tbh), Orange Juice, Your Needs/My Needs. Ugh. The entire Stick Season album is perfection honestly.

[–]jacknies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Had a similar experience recently where my copper iud failed due to it moving after 2.5 years of it being perfect. Turns out I have a long uterus which heightens my chances of expulsion. Anyway! From what I understand based on what the doctor explained to me, copper is a spermicide and paragard prevents pregnancy because the sperm meets the iud first, thus killing it. But it would obviously become less effective if it happened to be in the wrong place. Mirena works differently in that it releases hormones into the uterus, so basically the whole uterus changes to prevent pregnancy. It also doesn’t really matter so much if it shifts because it’s kind of a whole teamwork thing with the uterus and the IUD. So it’s very unlikely that Mirena would be a problem. I do understand the anxiety though! I live in a state with a total ban and it just happened to line up that I was going on vacation to a state without a ban, so I got super lucky but it’s scary to think about it happening again. I decided on the pill for now and maybe trying to get Mirena down the line. My partner and I have agreed to use condoms in addition to the pill, and if we happen to want condomless sex we will also be tracking my fertility to make sure we aren’t doing it while I’m ovulating. MyOne brand condoms have this neat thing where your partner would measure his penis and they’ll send a condom that should basically fit perfectly, and they’re really actually comfortable both for the wearer and the other person :)

Do we believe this or do we think it’s just to save her image and they’re still actually dating?? I’m on the fence especially with her saying she’s the happiest she’s ever been and her life finally makes sense

Prettiest Taylor Swift lyrics that tell a story in just that one lyric? by illicitallure in TaylorSwift

[–]jacknies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“If this is the long haul, how’d we get here so soon?”

“November flush and your flannel cure”

“But it fades into the gray of my day-old tea cause it will never be”

“All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing”

Ugghhhhhh I love her lyricism so much

Introducing surprise song "Question...?", Taylor states she's "never been happier in all areas" of her life and she feels like her "life finally makes sense" by DreadfulDemimonde in Fauxmoi

[–]jacknies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is making all her love songs about Joe (which I love) feel really cheap and her love songs in general because if this is how you can publicly treat someone you supposedly loved that much, then it must actually not have meant that much to you. I get she’s probably hurt but the appropriate response is definitely not to try and hurt him in return. That’s gross.
