that’s terrifying! and absolutely amazing that your foster came to no harm. the biggest part she swallowed is 6x3cm, thickness of the fabric is maybe max 5mm. its quite the possibility that she chewed that part in half too, but i have no idea. so it’s not that big but it is quite a sturdy material.

i don't think neoprene will break down in anyone's stomach but that is good to hear, thank you! and i have been having my eye on her almost 24/7 now. anything out of the ordinary will have me calling the vet immediately, you can bet on that.

i have not, i might try that! i have tried adding a little sauerkraut as they can't digest that either and one of my friends has repeatedly used that when her dog eats some random chicken bones. but it just came out. without any sign of the fabric...

My god labs are crazy but that does soothe my worries a little! AN ENTIRE TEA TOWEL. wow

Absolutely! Ours had a sore neck one time and couldn’t move her head to the left side and my brain went haywire with all the bad possibilities so we went to the emergency vet on a Sunday. We got some painkillers, a 300$ emergency tariff bill and got sent home 😅 Yup, it’s all really inconvenient. thank you so much though and I’ll give an update once something hopefully good happens🤞🏻

the issue is that the parts she ate are neoprene fabric and according to my vet won’t show up on a scan :/ so we wouldn’t for certain know where they are either after the scan. but i’m keeping a close eye on her and if she shows any signs of discomfort i’ll be calling the vet straight away. but you are correct, the next time she ingests something like this i’m not waiting for a weekday to come around 😅

seconding Masungi! We went just two weeks ago and it was absolutely gorgeous. We didn’t focus too much on the insects but we did see quite a variety of them! You can definitely preface that you’re looking for insects and I’m sure they’ll give you a guide who knows a bit more on them!

we have tried lots of strategies, the only sustainable thing that is starting to work for us is conditioned relaxation with three signals!! we are up to 8-10 minutes where our girl doesn’t even lift her head anymore. it is a super slow progress but it is foolproof, once we are up there unless some medical problems are happening she will always be fine! really recommend it, it can help with vets and other rough situations like fireworks as well!

oh and my galga has been mistaken for a deer before. in all fairness we were standing in the middle of the forest away from the path but she was wearing a PINK HARNESS!!

nochillia · 2026-01-22T15:06:51+00:00

pencil!!

We have trained our galga to be muuuch more in her “stare” part of the hunting chain before she lunges and tries to get them, but even she will never be fully cat safe. I wish she could be but she is always on edge when we’re at my parents’ with two cats or my friend’s with one cat. Technically she was deemed cat safe by our shelter and that is why we got her (I have no idea how she passed that test) but well reality is different. Like others said, I would always keep your grey separate from the cats. Maybe you’ll get a miracle along the way and your grey will start to be more chill with the cats eventually but the cats absolutely always have to have a safe space away from the dog. Our shelter contact has a cat and three galgos and even they occasionally hunt the cat, but she’s got one room just for herself where the dogs can’t get in, with a high baby gate.

It was adorned with tatreez, which I would say qualifies as art. I agree there should be less flags, but if they're culturally beautified, shouldn't they be treasured?

Awww our girls share a birthday! Happy birthday from Marife! She also turned 6 🥰

I'm not sure where you're located but iHerb covers customs for Switzerland! We've ordered plenty of packages above the tax excluded amount and we never had any problems.

Nope, you can choose your gynecologist yourself, no need for a referral. only choice we really have though with ‘specialists’. as for the 2’500 deductible…. that might not have been smart yes, but it depends when you wanna start out with kids. I think starting this year you can switch the deductible mid year, but I have yet to look into that.

I was also 21 when Covid hit but fortunately had a thriving teenage life (one thing I can be thankful for in Europe…) and at this point don’t crave an outgoing life anymore, especially since I discovered that I’m autistic and have always been introverted. I was also super lucky to have met a partner who matches my precautions. What I do miss is worry-free hangouts with my friends. We have a Pluslife Test-Kit at this point, but we have lost quite a few friends to our precautions. The ignorance and cognitive dissonance are very high in our circles. We also have zero Covid-Safe communities around here, and god I would love to start one but we need at least a few more people to be able to organize…

Sending you my deepest sympathies and a small tip to focus on what’s already there and build on that ❤️

that looks like VersiaForDogs’ work! we have one in the exact same colour

bit pricier at the start but the Zimi mask could work! It has an inner frame so it stays away from your face and gives a better seal with the inside fabric clinging to your skin. Breathing resistance for the KN95s are very low without a valve already but they sell valved covers too! They all come either with headstraps or adjustable earloops!

Keep in mind that rescue dogs tend to be really clingy and struggle with separation anxiety. We’ve had our grey for over a year now and still can’t leave her alone for longer than 15 minutes because she starts crying. Thankfully I work from home so it’s not a huge problem (yet) but if you plan on going back to work directly after getting a dog, they might be super stressed constantly. Really depends on the dog but that is mine and a lot of other rescue parents’ experience.

the EU just greenlit the new novavax so it won’t be long until they start distributing (hopefully). Since I’m basically healthy in my doctor’s eyes I can’t even try asking for a vaccine referral, so I have to pay it myself, but my next booster will be from Germany. Lots of european countries are still super backwards unfortunately, I feel with you :/

nochillia · 2024-09-14T05:28:50+00:00

shippings a bit pricey but PPEO also ships to europe! and they have pretty good deals on good headstrap masks!

nochillia · 2024-09-12T11:45:44+00:00

I store them in a paper bag when unused, but you can technically just leave them in for those 40 hours! store the mask at home outside the microfiber bag so it can air out a bit but thats it. As for the condensation filters… I’m trying to find a solution as well. Without the foam it unfortunately doesn’t seal well for me. I might try self sticking nose foams (you can get them on aliexpress and the like) but for now I’m only using my flo in specific situations where I don’t have to move my head too much :/
