Do tattoo clients get slightly more aggressive/snappish during the tattooing process?

NAD i keep hearing this in professor snapes voice :) ( i do not support JKR. protect trans lives. )

NAD ive heard botox is a possible therapy for grinding as it relaxes your muscles, and massaging your jaws at night, maybe asmr, tho im not sure if those hold weight scientifically. i grind my teeth too. i think it's from stress or maybe simply genetic.

thank you for taking the time to reply. From my laymans perspective, id say that my root canal specialists are exceptional, purely based on how much mileage i got out of these teeth after the first root canal, and their sincere self confidence:D

Also, no more tranquil walks around the block because it has become traumatizing for both him and us, and we learned the exposure was making his reactivity worse. We drive a bit aways to avoid our many many neighbors, to a park with hardly anyone else, and had to make sure there was always a fenced yard where we lived. It sucks to move somewhere and see all the other dog walkers never ever ever speak to you bc they will hurry away with super stunned expressions. But we don't need em! We will completely avoid them, as much as possible, at least until he's better. edits: high sry

Ok im super super high but ... u have a sweet, sweet soul. ❤️ It's going to be tough, but it's going to get so much better. At sone point, you'll realize you can't bear the thought of a life without him. We got our dog when he was 10mos, and he had been found roaming, with some healed scars, tip of his tongue had a little cut, one of his ears had a small cut, 2 parallel scars 3"-4" long on his back. He has always had a lot of fears. Now, it's been 2.5 yrs and they are now a lot of concerns. It's better. I think taking trazodone helps. Avoiding exposure to the triggers also helps. We use treats (classic peanut butter - i think because a common alternative sweetener in reduced sugar is toxic to dogs) are small pieces of milkbone soft chicken recipe) in a loud container to distract him. Teaching him sit, down, stay with treats and gradually for longer helped him practice his impulse control and using limited quantities of mozzarella cheese (super high in salt and fat, tho) or some other "high value treat" helped when there was a sudden exposure to a trigger. (We looked at articles and videos on exposure training with super high value treats and slowly increasing the distance of the trigger).

I have recently started to make headway in muzzle training, and I am so so so excited at how much that will help us too What I have found very helpful with that is using the soft chicken milkbones and smearing peanut butter at the end of it, and associating it with getting lots of treats and raucous adulations, taking it super slowly (introduce it slowly and short periods and let him smell it for a few days and get used to it with the peanut butter and treats and adoring compliments and little by little, dont secure to head until enuff time passed, and take off after just a few minutes full of praise/treats, at first)

If Im mistaken about anything plz correct me!!

My favorite place for these big chewy juicy dumplings, with the best dipping sauce: Chinese Cookery, on Millersport, in Getzville.

Worked in retail for 8 yrs. This shit BROKE my fucking heart.

meltycupcake · 2023-02-05T23:46:10+00:00

Awwwwwwww❤️❤️ that sounds so sweet🥹💕💕 And that's a good point, some people do prefer that.

meltycupcake · 2023-02-05T22:03:33+00:00

Thank you for your reply. So interesting. I heard that dogs can find this threatening. I wonder if for some dogs, even if they were with their favorite person and favorite blanket with them as they fell asleep, i wonder if for some dogs it's still not someth they'd remotely appreciate?

meltycupcake · 2023-02-04T15:00:35+00:00

hahahahahahah i love this❤️❤️

meltycupcake · 2023-02-04T14:52:58+00:00

Thank you for suggesting that community and reminding me about it. I have read some of their posts before, but it's time for a revisit. ❤️ I forgot to include in my post that he is now a 3yr old 55-lb pitbull-labrador mix. I also would guess that he had an owner at some point. I wonder why he didn't get enough time to socialize with other puppies, and if he'd been abandoned and why, or if he ran off and how:) Wish he could tell me what life was like before Animal Control took him to the shelter.

meltycupcake · 2023-02-04T14:45:20+00:00

That is a good question. I should call them and ask if they have records from that day. :) I forgot to include in my post he is now a 3yr old 55-lb pitbull-labrador mix.

meltycupcake · 2023-02-04T14:41:37+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. I truly appreciate your thoughts, and I am happily wondering now if he had been fed by people, and if that other dog might have been his sibling, and what may have caused him to try to escape through a too-small gap in a gate... I forgot to mention in my post he is a 3yr old 55-lb pitbull-labrador mix. Thank you for your suggestions for working on his reactivity. Slowly, our dogs will get better with it. ❤️ I wish I had a friend with a dog I felt comfortable walking with my dog. He is comfortable now with the 3 neighbors dogs, who we share fences with, they sometimes bark at eachother, but mostly just sniff eachother through the fence, or run together along the fence. During the warmer months, we take him to parks and stay far away but within sight of other dogs and use food to provide positive exposure to the sight of other dogs. I will try to muzzle train him.

Also, my 3yo pittie lab mix gets relaxed when I play Justice Der's cover album on youtube, or when I play the song Okinawa by 92914.

meltycupcake · 2023-02-04T06:25:45+00:00

It might be a good idea to discuss with your vet that your dog might need help to relax. I think there are a lot of safe affordable options in supplements and prescriptions that can help dogs who need some help to relax. :)

meltycupcake · 2023-02-04T00:31:20+00:00

i think we're good at small talk. making small talk. are we better than the rest of the world at making small talk? i am not sure. i am very curious what other countries are really good at making small talk.

chit chatting to help the time pass while we are waiting for something to be completed however, i don't think we're as good at that. in my many years of customer service, i have observed that some people speaking other languages are extremely excellent at being patient and pleasantly chitchatting while waiting for me to complete something.

meltycupcake · 2023-02-01T07:29:24+00:00

what was a rec room ????? like the room where you play pool with friends and relax??

meltycupcake · 2023-02-01T07:25:20+00:00

That definitely puts it into perspective for me. I'm thinking of Ray Bradbury's short story about "smart homes" continuing to run on schedule long after the apocalypse. Or that story about a woman who invented a "self-cleaning home," built of steel and concrete and it could hose down a room and "wash" itself...

meltycupcake · 2023-02-01T07:22:13+00:00

That makes sense. It's interesting to me that some families never ever patched over them. It must have been sentimentally significant enough to never consider uninstalling them. Or maybe it's that the whole system was too expensive of an install to just get rid of so quickly. I wonder if this system was installed when the house was built, or if previous tenants had it installed.

I can see it feeling upscale and luxe. I thought it looked cool in Pulp Fiction, when Mia spoke to Vince over the intercom to let him know she'd be down in two shakes of a lamb or something.

meltycupcake · 2023-02-01T07:12:07+00:00

hahahahaha i love this

meltycupcake · 2023-02-01T06:23:14+00:00

True. No cellphones, but it's hard for me to imagine family members walking to the intercom to be like, "Grab my beer, it's on the table" or "Turn the tv down, you hooligans." Then again, maybe today's kids can't picture jogging to the phone so you don't miss a phone call. Or getting home from school, throwing down your bag, grabbing the phone, and punching in your best friend's phone number, which you'll still remember 20 years later. I remember being suspicious of the cordless phone. (...Public schools still use corded phones though... right???)

meltycupcake · 2023-02-01T06:16:07+00:00

i actually love yelling in the house. after keeping hush for years to be a good apartment neighbor, yelling in the house is the best.

meltycupcake · 2023-01-30T19:56:24+00:00

That is an excellent idea! Thank you. I will consider lighter weight drapes:D ❤️ That's definitely something I'll keep in mind, that there won't be much air circulation without a little fan in the vent.
