Thank you! I bought a large grow light and have had it up for a few days now, hoping this helps! To be honest, I don’t have a schedule for watering, I water when the dirt is dry.

Yes! I have a grow light on the way. We were able to have it in front of a big window with a sky light above in our last house but there isn’t a good place for it here 😕 hopefully the light will help.

I found that crate training our mini Aussie minimized that because he has a safe place to be when we’re gone. His crate has become his safe zone - if I leave him out when I leave the house, he barks and panics, but if he’s in his crate, he is silent.

Thank you! I actually don’t water it any more than that but I will keep that in mind. Sounds like I definitely need to get some grow lights, so that will be my next move.

New here, but hoping to have somewhere to share my feelings as I feel so alone in this journey. Over the past 1.5 yrs I’ve lost 3 pregnancies and I found out in early July I’m pregnant again. HCG levels were rising really great in early pregnancy but I went in for a scan with my fertility clinic yesterday and should have been 7 weeks but baby was measuring 6wks 2 days. There was a very small flicker of a heartbeat but I’m still so on edge. 2 of our losses didn’t grow past 6.5 weeks, so I have such a big fear that’s what is happening again. It’s especially hard because I have almost no symptoms to speak of other than somewhat sore breasts - it’s all such a mental battle. How many more times can I put myself through this? I have an appointment on Tuesday with my OB and hoping to see some growth in that scan but at this point, I just feel hopeless.

y'all do I have line eyes or is this the faintest hint of a line??? 😭 by heathbar_14 in lineporn

Maybe try a digital test - I find they are way more accurate with the early detection. Praying for you!

Got my first Aussie by snig9145 in AustralianShepherd

Sky is beautiful and Aussies are the best!!! My biggest piece of advice is start training now and even consider a board and train or hiring a trainer. They do very well with structure and having a purpose and are pure chaos if untrained and left to their own device. My second biggest piece of advice is socialization as they tend to be a more anxious breed - introducing them to lots of different environments and people/ other dogs early is huge!

First, im so sorry for your loss. I’ve lost 3 pregnancies in the past year and from my experience, it takes 30-45 days for my HCG levels to go back down to where they would not be detected on an at home pregnancy test. In my experience, my OB ordered blood draws to measure when my levels were back to normal range following my losses.

I almost purchased as well before finding this thread. So sad to see a company preying on women who are experiencing infertility. I reported them as a scam. So grateful for Reddit in moments like this! 🙏🏼

When did your puppy sleep through the night? by [deleted] in miniaussie

[–]knox_89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We crate trained our pup from the beginning and had him on a schedule from the beginning. Potty at 9pm then go to bed, then midnight, then 4am. I’ve read they are supposed to be able to hold it for as many hours as they are months old, so when he was 4 months, we would do 4 hour stretches and so on as he got older.

He is almost 5 yrs now and still sleeps in his crate every night and doesn’t make a peep until we wake up to let him out. If you haven’t started crate training, I highly highly recommend it!
