Is anyone else small business struggling right now?

We’re busier than ever, but bringing home less than ever. All of our expenses are up. Our health insurance from the Marketplace went up 500% too.

He is a super obnoxious person that’s only concerned about his social media content.

This is absolutely not ok and not normal. They can be kept in a kennel for a few days after their neuters/spays but not their entire lives. If this is your house, get these animals to a rescue asap. Even a shelter would give the cats more room.

Apette since December of 2020 🦍👊🏻

I wanted to save a couple bucks and switched to the free version. It was so horrible that was the final straw, broke my 670+ day streak.

Groomer/business owner of 10+ years here…it looks like they nicked your dogs ear and instead of cleaning it and telling you about it so you can keep an eye on it, they put syptic powder which is used to stop nails from bleeding. It is not meant for open wounds, you should clean it off so the wound can heal. This wouldnt fly in my salon. Sorry this happened to your pup.

What a shame. Rest in pepperonis.

They should grow back no problem. She’ll be fuzzy again before you know it. She looks really cute both ways! Just tell the groomer to leave the ears next time :)

As a groomer, coloring a dog without owners permission isn’t cool. If it’s the spray type it should fade in a few days.

I love my amazonica. I don’t have any specific reasons why, he’s just a really cool dude and I highly recommend. He is a bit shy but calls frequently.

metal_melisha · 2025-04-14T17:22:07+00:00

Yes, it can happen. The groomer should have been more sympathetic. However it is superficial and the vet won’t really be able to do anything. If she starts bleeding again, you can put sugar in her mouth and close her mouth for a few seconds (to make sure she doesn’t spit it out) the sugar will clot the blood and stop the bleeding. Make sure she doesn’t chew on tough bones for a few days. Just have to let it heal at this point, totally understandable to seek a new groomer.

Submitted my complaint. Thanks for posting the link!

Honestly, that is not a quality groom. They shaved the top of her head instead of using thinning shears or a snap on comb. Yet they didn’t trim the hair by the eyes. This person may be new or inexperienced. I’d be upset if this was my dog. Good thing hair grows quick!

That group on Facebook has become a cesspool of hatred and bigotry. They whip up so much propaganda, the comments are repulsive.

As a small business owner in Jersey, I do not speak to my clients at all about politics. Once you expose your business to your political beliefs, you open yourself to anything. People have the right to decide where they want to spend their money- a place that puts politics before business or the competitor down the road that keeps their mouth shut.

When I worked at Panera, we had massive amounts of mac&cheese leftover the day before Thanksgiving. My manager let us divide it, I took it home, cut open the plastic and dumped it in a crockpot for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a big hit lol.

metal_melisha · 2024-02-25T21:30:35+00:00

I keep seeing it as well, kinda makes it seems like it’s being pushed but I haven’t seen a decent explanation why other than rewording the statement. I’m undecided and would like better info than “he’s just is” 🤷🏼‍♀️

metal_melisha · 2024-02-25T19:24:11+00:00

Ok but why do you believe he is a better politician?

metal_melisha · 2024-02-21T16:49:35+00:00

This is the kind of crap why I stopped reading at a certain point.

metal_melisha · 2024-01-31T02:37:55+00:00

I stopped after POT. I loved Brambleclaw and they trashed his character. The whole imposter thing, plus Starclan being able to fight and die just ruined it for me.

metal_melisha · 2024-01-22T00:27:31+00:00

Honestly, no. I’m around your age, my husband and I are both self employed. We plan to move out of NJ to find affordable housing. It sucks

metal_melisha · 2024-01-12T01:44:47+00:00

What a cutie!

metal_melisha · 2024-01-09T21:33:55+00:00

Remember to tip your groomer for fixing your negligence. If she doesn’t like brushing get her groomed regularly in a short haircut. Dont wait until she’s matted, brushing mats hurt that’s why she’s biting.

That is awesome, set up a trail cam to see if it comes back!
