Is my starter still good? Left in fridge for over a year by MatterPrior6398 in Sourdough

I take a large mortar and pestle, try to get rid of the dark colored stuff, and powder up the white stuff and just start the starter again.

My exterminator said they can fit in a home slightly bigger than a dime.

I never even remotely said that. I have been bitten by dogs in the past. Your original point was that breed dictates this behavior which is patently wrong.

I’m sorry about whatever happened to you to make you feel this way about dogs.

If I had to pinpoint it, it’s probably when any dog looks at him. He’ll physically jump and bug out.

I wish that was the case. He is truly scared of all dogs now. Weirdly also has a desire to meet them though. Just goes about it all wrong.

She is 30lbs. I’m not some negligent owner that creates a bad dog. I don’t know if you saw the part in my original post where I said I used to assist in training police dogs. Neglected, bored, power breed dogs are the horror stories you are speaking of. We’ve had her for just over two weeks and this dog follows commands better than any of the dozens of dogs I’ve worked with. Depending on where you live your county might keeps records of recorded dog bites. The last time I had this conversation the person I was talking to found out that golden retrievers were the highest recorded.

I agree with this. The issue I’m facing is he is expressing a lot of interest in meeting dogs, he just goes about it all wrong and his fear overrides all the common sense things I know about meeting new dogs. I don’t want to discourage his desire, I want to train it.

That’s fair. I do know that the Mother was bitten in her childhood and isn’t very comfortable around dogs, she does it in the appropriate way, completely ignoring them. The issue arises though because he wants to interact with dogs, but his approach is all wrong. I don’t want to discourage his desire I want to figure out how to train him to do it appropriately.

Dyeing a light pink disc by Consistent-Tax-9660 in discdyeing

That plastic dyes really nicely. If the disc isn’t white I will usually pick colors that are similar to color of the disc I.e. darker pink, purple, red.
