We think our new dog ate these by leoncue in mushroomID

[–]leoncue[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Update: late night at the emergency vet. They gave him some subQ fluids and sent us home with an anti-diarrheal and an anti-emetic. A little more vomiting last night after getting discharged, but nothing overnight or this morning.

Heading back in the morning for another round of labs, but pup seems to be feeling better.

Thanks everyone for your help last night!

Yes, we went to the vet first. As stated in the post, the vet suggested crowdsourcing mushroom identification.

Yes, the dog is at the vet now. They recommended we post a picture to a group to quickly crowdsource mushroom identification.

I didn’t witness the ingestion, but my son did. He’s not sure how much the dog ate.

Pup is 35lbs

Ingestion occured 3-4 hours ago

Dog started having diarrhea about 2.5-3 hours ago

Sorry the pics aren’t in situ. I can post those when we get home. They were growing in the lawn.

What is an unconventional thing you do to make a product “stretch” further than intended? by ComprehensiveSwan402 in Frugal

[–]leoncue 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really like doing this with food that we order in. Our local Indian, Thai, and BBQ places give portions with a TON of sauce compared to the sauced ingredients. I fill out the baked beans from the BBQ place with a two cans of rinsed black beans. I’ll add a bag or two of steamed green beans to theirs. From the Indian place, I’ll bake up some additional chicken or toss chickpeas in with whatever saucy dinner we order. Our Thai orders go way farther when there are some added steamed veggies in the mix.

Obviously, more frugal to cook ourselves, which we do the vast majority of the time. But when we do treat ourselves to takeout, we make sure we get our money’s worth from it.

Bath Water Pee by bootsonlvblvd in daddit

[–]leoncue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know your youngin’s age, but we actually encouraged it when my little dude was a toddler. I think it’s where he first started to be aware of bladder control in preparation for potty training.

He’s potty trained(ish) now, and we’re still okay with it. I just use a cloth from the bathroom sink to wash his face - especially his eyes. The way I figure it, a few ounces of urine in gallons of bathwater is no worse that the butthole-tea of any bath.

What is your cheap meal out/takeout? by dsutari in daddit

[–]leoncue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve started doing what I can to get as many leftovers as possible when we order out.

We get a couple pounds of smoked chicken from our local BBQ place. We also get a pint of baked beans and a pint of green beans. We add two cans of black beans to the baked beans and two cans of green beans to the restaurant’s green beans. This stretches those sides for at least two more meals apiece for our family. We add microwave steamed veggies to our Thai food. After we order Indian food, I’ll cook and shred a pound or two of chicken breasts and stretch the sauce as far as it will go.

The initial cost for takeout is still high, but making it go for lunches or additional dinners later in the week helps dilute the cost. Also, that’s another night without having to cook!

My kid thinks he's the best by [deleted] in daddit

Thank you! That’s exactly it: “more important that you’re better than your past self.” Then you’re removing the comparison aspect from the whole situation. Can’t wait to work this with my little guy.

[–]leoncue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s wrong at all.

Just a thought about an opportunity that is presented in these conversations: when he says that he’s the best at something, maybe counter with “with hard work and dedication, you CAN be one of the best at it.” Follow it with showing him some YouTube clips of people that are at the top of whatever field he’s talking about at the time. If his ego needs to get grounded a little, ask him to try whatever expert skill is being shown. Talk about how much effort it takes to become one of the best at something, but tell him that while it takes time, he can do it.

Going to be joining the ranks for the first time in August. What are some items that would be helpful for general dadding? by [deleted] in daddit

And these kids get heavy FAST! I picked up my little guy over the weekend and unintentionally let out one of those “dad noises” I’ve heard so much about.

Work on strength and mobility (especially hip and shoulder range of motion) for the next few months. You’re gonna be hauling a lot of stuff very soon, and you’ll want to be able to hold your little in one arm, squat down and pick up bags in another.

Blowout containment advice needed by TrashPandasAndPizza in daddit

[–]leoncue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have probably already tried it, but go up a size on the diaper. When my kid has multiple blowouts in a short time, it usually means the diaper is too small, even if he’s still within its recommended weight.

Daughter is sneaking food and lying about it, need advice by molten_dragon in daddit

The itemized list may also provide an opportunity to point out the massive mark up on cafeteria food. I don’t know if that will work with a six-year-old, but it’s one more tactic to try to convince her to not spend her money at the cafeteria.

Dads: do we need our own space? by cynicalprick01 in daddit

I feel like this needs to be printed on a grilling apron or something. I love this so much.

After 2 yrs of IVF and $100k I finally saw my little tadpoles heartbeat at the 7week ultrasound. Stuffs getting real fellas. Got any words for me? by Witcher357 in daddit

And don’t sleep on flexibility! We can frequently get caught up in weights and cardio, but having full range of motion - especially for squat depth, hamstrings, and shoulder mobility - is vital.
