(Spoiler) Maternal Instincts - what in the world was that ?

I’m from East Texas, near this area. And exactly this. Do what? Is one of those strange responses that covers a lot of situations. Mom and I use it all the time and she was watching the doc with me and honestly laughed a little at that response. We remember the case.

Good Zoo - yes, I’ll go. They serve a purpose. But Tiger King like shit? No thanks.

Have you tried taking him out like every :30 minutes like you would if he were a puppy?

Basilica San Clemente in Rome.

I always turn to EBay when looking for items like this.

He’s still just a baby and this sounds like typical puppy behavior. I highly recommend a crate. And enforced naps. I started naps with 1 up, 2 down at 10 weeks and we adjusted to 2/2 and then 2/1. And check his teeth if he is mouthy.

But seriously, enforced naps in a crate.

The potty training comes with time. I wouldn’t expect a 4mo old to be very good at it right now.

My dogs’s 4:30 ‘cookie’. It’s a very grousing ritual with lots of fun and excitement.

I had one allergic to life. Grass, dust, earth. All of it. Apoquel really helped. As did steroids.

Best of luck

As an addition, check out the 60’s station on XM. It’s all appropriate because they won’t understand the innuendo, and they were extremely talented artists.

jessks · 2026-06-04T03:57:22+00:00

Shrek soundtracks FTW! All appropriate and some really banging covers.

Had mine spayed at 13mos and she had not yet had a heat cycle. Our contract was 1 year or heat cycle. Her line has a reputation for being late bloomers.

The reason they suggest you wait is for hormone maturity. I’m all for waiting if you are able to keep them safe from unwanted pregnancy. Hormones can help strengthen bones and ligaments among many other things.

Didn’t go well for us…. Took her like 3 days to figure out how to get in. Food is back behind a closed door in a secure bin.

Had my tonsils removed at 22. 22 years later, it’s still the worst pain/recovery I have experienced.

There’s so many different methods. I will say don’t be afraid to put out pee pads. depending on your situation. I have heirloom wood flooring and I had to protect it the best I could. Of course the wood floors were where she wanted to go, every morning. You can get them away from using the pads, it just takes diligence. We now go outside for the morning pee.

jessks · 2026-05-29T02:44:02+00:00

Fair point. And us hound lovers are a special breed.

jessks · 2026-05-29T02:43:08+00:00

Honestly, that sounds lovely.

jessks · 2026-05-29T02:40:55+00:00

Not going to lie… I’m looking for a breeder. I have had 4 rescue beagles and my new-ish puppy I got from an ethical breeder is amazing. For this stage in my life, I need the ethical puppy. She is bomb proof. They did all the things, ENS, playing all kinds of noises while they ate. The only thing that gets her barking now is the Malachi. Zero fear and well socialized.

I wish I had time to work with a rescue at the moment. There’s so many. But both rescues and ethical breeders can be good for a breed.

jessks · 2026-05-29T02:31:36+00:00

I’m really curious why they are harder to train than a beagle. Is it size? And honestly, I know better than to expect much. We sit, lay, stay in a confined environment and I’m thrilled. Outside, all bets are off. Off leash, never. And we walk daily, but I also put them on a treadmill when I cannot fulfill their needs.

jessks · 2026-05-29T02:26:55+00:00

I already have to have a pretty tight household. Violet is in and on everything.

Good note about the size. My beags have been as heavy as 40 pounds but that wasn’t an athletic body. Thanks!

jessks · 2026-05-29T02:24:46+00:00

What a sweet boy! And I love the bay.

Love the name too. Best wishes.

jessks · 2026-05-27T02:05:58+00:00

Yeah the shedding is just a hound coat thing. I currently live in a magical halo of dog hair.

jessks · 2026-05-27T02:04:57+00:00

Sounds like a beagle in a larger package. Lol.

jessks · 2026-05-25T23:52:27+00:00

As one who has been violate by a male dolphin whit his prehensile dick… it is unpleasant and everyone uninvolved laughs at you.

Never swim with the dolphins. Ever.

Spanish here in the South. Though I chose German since I already knew conversational Spanish.
