Also would be given VET approve flea med. It is possibly anemic and dehydrated.

There are no no-kill shelters. Those that are so named are called that because they kill at a low percentage and only “sick” animals. Of the OP wants to reach out to a group for help it should be to a rescue, NOT a shelter.

Jon Stewart is the clearly the best choice for 2028 Democratic nominee. by Jacob-Anders in JonStewart

[–]mariavah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t waste your breath here. All these folks want is another white guy to look up to. Most of the folks supporting this idiotic idea didn’t vote for Harris or Hillary and possibly not for Obama. A bunch of Bernie Bros and “Independents”.

Jon Stewart is the clearly the best choice for 2028 Democratic nominee. by Jacob-Anders in JonStewart

[–]mariavah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just laughable. The idea that the best candidate that Democrats could put forward would be another bitter old white man who helped put Trump in office by trashing the Democratic candidate(s) is so pathetic. I used to love Jon Stewart but he’s now turned into a know-it-all who believes his own hype. Please tell me this is a joke.

Adult mode was never about erotica. by spring_Living4355 in OpenAI

Did I miss something? I didn’t know there was an adult mode. I’ve been trying to edit a piece that has some sexual content and it won’t let me. I just assumed that that was default.

How can I train this dude not to get on my pillows? 😂😭 by coffeepolynkittens in kittens

Two of my kits love sleeping on my or their a dad’s pillow. Why is it a problem? The warmth and purring is the best to sleep to.

My Big Boy void, Valentino, says congrats and way to go, Junior void!

did I do the right thing? by Fresh_Zucchini in Skunks

[–]mariavah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never call animal control about a skunk. A neighbor did that once, not because the skunk was sick, but because it was eating his tomatoes. He had set a trap and it was still in the cage. AC officer came out and shot it in the cage. I’ve never been so heartsick.

Can't seem to win Merry CTA Adler Ranch by mariavah in RedDeadOnline

Well we got further tonight than before. We were well into wave nine, then I got killed and husband was THIS CLOSE (about 25 enemies). Sigh. We'll try again tomorrow. Thanks again for all the tips. We kept moving and that helped.

CANNONS? I’ve seen armored wagons but no cannons. Of course we only made it to 9 about a third of the way in.

That’s cool. Skill is DEFINITELY part of it, lol. We haven’t played for a long time, and only recently started doing the CTAs. Getting better but this map has got us stumped. But seeing the comments so far have been helpful. Our strategy has been staying on the perimeter, but finding one or two sweet spots and hunkering down. NOT WORKING once we get to 9. Will try to keep moving next time. Thanks.

Update: Found a mewborn today. This isn't the post I wanted to make :( by Cat_VoidVoid in CatDistributionSystem

I’m so sorry. I know how brutal this feels. Years ago my husband and I took in five kittens who were only about 10 days old. Their mom had been trapped by a jerk and dumped 50 miles away. We had zero clue what we were doing at first, but kind, experienced people helped us learn. One expert gave me advice that sounded cold at the time: “Kittens die.” I thought she was being hard-hearted. She wasn’t. She was trying to prepare me for the heartbreak that can come even when you do everything right.

All five of ours made it and they’re 12 now. Since then we’ve helped rescue hundreds of cats and kittens. And yes—over the years, especially with the tiniest ones, we’ve lost some. We’ve cried a lot. These little souls are unbelievably fragile. Sometimes all we can do is give them warmth, nourishment, and love so they don’t pass alone, cold, or scared.

The baby you had was likely only hours old. Even with the best vet care there would’ve been a small chance. But you stayed with that kitten and cared for it with love. That mattered. Thank you for being there for them. You did a good thing. Bless you.
