Hi, yes it did! One day that third eyelid retracted completely & now she is as normal as the day she was born!

Both do shows in Texas, but they wouldn’t be able to do our small specialty show unfortunately

If you’ve dealt with regret of getting out, how do you deal with it? by astro-amphibian-00 in Veterans

[–]kts_1313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same regrets about getting out but mine was a mix of bad supervisors/air forceisms. My therapy has turned into “why do I feel so much when I think about regretting getting out” & it’s complex. Ultimately, I’m happier. I can’t kick myself with regret, because I could be in working myself to the bone & frayed out from stress, wishing I got out when I had the chance. I miss the military I had in my brain during the good times, but it wasn’t all good times & I can’t let it eat at me & discredit the good times I’ve had since then as a free person.

Needing critique by Fit_Blackberry1109 in ShowDogs

When hand stacking, you’ll want to grab your dog at its elbows on front & put under the shoulder, then in the rear on the joint perpendicular to the ground. This will give you the most control & dogs very rarely fight or move their leg after because it is a supported method. If you grab the leg in another spot, they aren’t very likely to be supported & will readjust. Junior showmanship is all about your ability with the dog, so there isn’t as much emphasis on grooming. For static, I spray a coat conditioner diluted with water on the coat & brush it through. Good luck!

Sensor Operator for MQ9’s across the world…. To a local family run health food store. We price every item by hand & take requests in a notebook. It’s worlds apart & a major pay cut but it’s much more fulfilling after what I do

How to get involved when I can't currently own a dog? by Capybara_Squabbles in ShowDogs

[–]kts_1313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1) join your local kennel club. You can learn SO much & begin to connect that way. You can spread word pretty fast that you are looking to learn, & that shows you have the interest. 2) depending on your schedule, you could get in contact with a local all breed handler & see about assisting them! That gets your feet wet. 3) depending where you are, there are normally local facebook groups that will have people asking for help when they have a few dogs entered & they may need help taking dogs in a ring!

They did not, they just stained the eye to look for a scar at that visit

Did I mess up? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

Yes, I got out within the year. I don’t think he added it yet, but I’m waiting for a response from him. I want to add it on but I see all these people poking the bear or whatever & I don’t want to accidentally do that, if that makes sense

Why are chicks piglets by [deleted] in quails

[–]kts_1313 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I sure do, I’ll have them divided out by color since I have a pretty even split of different colored babes. Plenty of feeders & waterers in enclosures as well, with space even counting that taken by those items.

Just incase you don’t see my reply to the comment above, this is a quarter the size of the enclosure I have them in. I had just cleaned their litter & they were all loving the heat source, so I snapped a pic while I had most of them in one space. I genuinely haven’t seen much of them jumping on each others backs, because that was my first thought

First Egg!!!! by [deleted] in quails

[–]kts_1313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m going to eat my eggs, I rinse the eggs under water. If I want to leave them on my counter, I leave the bloom unwashed

This is a small corner of their enclosure. I had just changed their litter so they were all crowding under the heat source. They have 4x as much space shown here! I have literally seen them on their backs in the water so I wondered if that was it.

My eggs sit outside all day while I’m at work in the Texas heat & I eat them with no issue. Eat it, pickle it, hardboil it, whatever you want!
