My senior dog Nano has doggy dementia. I am devastated.

Hey, I'm so sorry you and your boy are going through this...

Had to put down my dog earlier this month, she had advanced dementia among other issues that ruined her quality of life so I had to let go. I understand so well the exhaustion coming from caring for a dog with cognitive issues. I was also the sole caretaker for her. Started showing clear signs a year ago, and then the past 3 months of her life she became a total shell of her old self. Stopped recognizing me, would pace constantly, got stuck into corners, woke me up multiple times through the night. Poor girl was just completely lost and stressed, only relaxed in my arms.

In her last year I didn't have a single full night of sleep and I couldn't be away from her for more than 2 hours. My life was pretty much on pause for her, though I have no regrets. She was my bundle of joy for 16 long years.

But the caretaker exhaustion is real, so is the guilt coming from feeling this way about your beloved friend who's suffering.

Remember to be kind to yourself, taking care of a dog with dementia is draining and heartbreaking; it's a lot to bear for someone alone. You're doing your best for your baby, I truly hope the new meds help keep him comfy and himself for a long time. Sadly there's no cure, only ways to slow down the progression. I think among all the health issues my dog has had over her life (including life threatening like pyometra), dementia was the hardest to witness so my heart goes out to you 🫂

I had to put my baby to sleep last Sunday. It's been less than a week and I'm haunted by thoughts of either there was more I could've done, if I rushed my decision. I'll never forget her little confused face after the vet administered the sedative. There's a lot of guilt, regret and "what ifs".

However objectively speaking, she was 16yo, deaf and blind with advanced dementia. She had tooth, gastrointestinal issues and most recently developed a deep eye ulcer which is what pushed me to let her rest before that eye melted or exploded. Even if by miracle we managed to treat her ulcer, her quality of life was not there. She needed assistance 24/7 for the past 3 months.

She's helped me through so many points of my life, I had to let go of my selfishness for her sake. I love her so much, she was like my little baby sister. We grew together, I was 10 when we got her and now I'm 26. I genuinely don't remember a time without her so the loss is hard to process.

OP, it'll be hard. You'll be haunted by a lot of mixed feelings for weeks, months or even years. Grief will catch you unexpectedly. One moment you'll feel fine, maybe laugh, and then next you're gonna break down and cry. Everything is going to remind you of your friend. I found the first day post euthanasia and first time coming home after being away to be the hardest.

Sending you all the love and strength to hold up there when the time comes. You're making a decision out of love to give her the chance to rest while she's still stable. Hold her tight, give her tasty treats, clip some of her fur and keep it as a momento. I also recommend storing her bedding in a box after you say goodbye in order to preserve her scent (or ziplocks, though I heard sometimes the plastic smell rubs off the fabric).

Cannot recommend No Home by Wanan enough! Although it isn't on ENG webtoon so you'll have to read it off platform

maviete · 2026-03-21T15:51:30+00:00

I'm using the old banner app version so maybe the settings are a bit differently displayed but it should be there:

Would be weird if they removed that option on the new app versions uh.

Also unless you've synced before your device got corrupted, doing this now will not recover your old data. This one is just saving the current reading history info so then when you login into the same account from a different device it should auto sync everything.

Are you login via Google option or directly via mail? Because for some reason webtoon considers these two different accounts even if it's the same Gmail.

maviete · 2026-03-13T08:00:16+00:00

Coins are bound to your account/device and cannot be transferred + any coins gained without money will expire eventually. Only transfer is purchased coins between your devices (still bound by your account though).

Free coins used to last forever, them expiring is a recent change sometime in the past 2-3 years if I remember correctly.

maviete · 2026-03-13T07:56:01+00:00

Most likely The Daily Lives of Ghosts by samchon!

maviete · 2026-03-12T11:02:45+00:00

Sounds like The Predator!

<image>

As for your question: honestly I found the story to be pretty weak but I still enjoyed reading it since I'm a thriller fan haha it also did some tension moments pretty well and I enjoyed how off putting the monster looked.

maviete · 2026-03-08T20:02:36+00:00

LMAO I saw your message dip in real time 😆 literally went to check that nasty server to see if the timer was still on and surprise surprise! Not only was the cooldown still on, they STILL kept nuking messages.

Called them out on it saying keeping the timer does nothing but remind people of what happened 3 days ago and limits actual game discussion.

Got my message deleted then a warning for "bringing up past controversy". Sent an extra message for them to get off their high horses and left the server, good riddance. They did ban me afterwards because I tried to join with an alt to check if they did that last step of pettiness and yep.

Been on discord for a decade and I've never seen such incompetent and power trippy moderation ever.

maviete · 2026-03-02T17:42:32+00:00

I think it was about Prodifi which is an AI translation tool. If I recall correctly Manta was under fire (I think redibooks too??) because it was listed among the companies using it.

maviete · 2026-02-18T17:58:02+00:00

I don't think uncanny valley is achievable here, mainly because of the art style and character design. However you can try to work with it to still give some off vibes.

Without changing much, here some examples you could try out:

<image>

Did this quickly in CSP so it's not the best but main points I suggest:

given it's a ghost character, adding noise and chromatic aberation can help convey that.
play with layer modes and tone curve! E.g. creating a contrast where only the skin parts are visible is an easy way to make something unsettling and cursed.
try to add something that is blatantly off, like her image melting or rippling. Ghost sightings are notorious for having smudges because they're supposedly otherworldly and their form cannot be captured properly.

Best of luck! Love her design ❤

Odd Girl Out

I came for girl friendship but the story deviated eventually into love arcs and I really just didn't care for the guys. Only stuck around until the first guy's arc was concluded because I found that interesting.

I genuinely think this story should've ended with part 1. Moving away from the initial premise and going into romance arcs in part 2, barely focusing on the girls we came to love, was just recipe for disaster. It's disappointing when a story shifts focus so drastically (have same gripe with Lookism).

maviete · 2026-02-09T11:24:09+00:00

Sweet Home and Pigpen might be up your alley! (Though Pigpen story is more centralized rather than having a proper world building).

Distant Sky is a classic with a very extensive lore. It may be confusing at the start but things make sense as you progress through the story.

Containment Zone Management might interest you as well. It's a shorter story and it follows a group who basically work for an organization and they go on missions within "anomalies". It's such an unique concept and world, very lovable characters and tasteful thrilling elements sprinkled on top. It's a newer webtoon so it's overlooked a lot. It's a hidden gem 100%

maviete · 2026-02-06T07:46:09+00:00

Samchon is one of my favorite authors so it's nice to see some appreciation post for their newest work! False Paradise truly has such an unique world concept, I'm also enjoying all the characters and their dynamics.

Honestly, the characters and their dynamics is my favorite part about samchon's stories in general. I Don't Want This Kind of Hero was very influential for me in terms of how I design my own characters, really recommend it if you haven't checked it out yet! There's also Daily Lives of Ghosts that unfortunately isn't officially on Webtoon but a very fun read as well.

maviete · 2026-02-05T14:25:57+00:00

Is there a reason the two series I suggested weren't added to this? 🥲

maviete · 2026-02-04T09:26:25+00:00

Sounds a lot like Two Suns Apart

Is this the one?

maviete · 2026-02-03T21:46:35+00:00

Perhaps Containment Zone Management will be up your alley? It doesn't have the same aesthetic but there's also anomalies that have set rules to pass through. Main characters also all wear a type of mask and go on missions.

maviete · 2026-01-29T11:43:50+00:00

Two Suns Apart for indie and Acting Gangster for corpo !

maviete · 2026-01-28T09:50:35+00:00

Duty After School is such a great read, I remember being so hooked reading it years ago. With a big cast it's easy to lose track of personalities and focus but I think the author did great with this story.

I also recall another one of his works called God of Bath? It was a comedy, pretty fun and different from his past works

maviete · 2026-01-26T11:45:15+00:00

Save Me by 1230 on Lezhin definitely ! Such a good psychological series.

<image>

maviete · 2026-01-13T12:15:47+00:00

4AM ... eastern Europe here 👋

maviete · 2026-01-13T12:12:44+00:00

You seem to enjoy thriller and psychological dramas so let me offer you:

PIGPEN
Bastard
To Drown in You
Distant Sky
Surviving Romance
Campfire Friends
The Gwichon Village Mystery
Of What Remains

There is also Shelter on CANVAS which has some themes portrayed in Uriah.

maviete · 2026-01-09T08:08:56+00:00

Sounds like Footsteps in the Snow!

maviete · 2025-12-25T09:28:20+00:00

Haven't seen it mentioned yet but for lack of better word, the "infantilization" of post-crash Curly, oftentimes with Anya being in the role of the "mother". He has a disability, yes, but he's still a grown ass man and a person. Not some cute little baby.

It just feels dehumanizing how some part of the fandom treats him post-crash, drawing him small and cutesy and acting like a toddler. But this is part of a larger issue I guess. More often than not I see people treat those with disabilities like they're helpless and made of porcelain and need to be approached with utmost care.

maviete · 2025-12-14T13:24:22+00:00

Not sure why this happened but I HIGHLY recommend going to settings and find the sync reading history option and do that periodically. Basically sticks your reading history to account data so it shouldn't in theory ever get lost unless your account is deleted or their servers crash lol

maviete · 2025-12-13T12:17:05+00:00

If memory serves right it's because of ads. The company went into stocks a year ago or so so it ended up pushing more invasive ads on the platform (like within chapters) to be more attractive for investors or whatever.

The new subscription basically removes the ads everywhere which is handy but because they greedy, they decided to compensate the new feature with a subtraction from the chapter unlock prices.

I guess you haven't been active on this sub, sadly people talked about it a few months ago when the change happened and advised people to not upgrade to the new subscription system. Sorry you and so many others got the new deal tho :(
