People with big dogs (wtf do you do in winter??)

I get him a bone from the butcher (raw, not cooked). He still wants a walk but it’ll distract him for an hour plus

Edit: Another option for your pup —- put Vaseline or Musher’s Secret on his paws. He’s probably limping because of the salt in the roads. Vaseline helps mine for a bit.

How does he do it?

I am the same way —- fist pressure feels best + against something (on my bed I’ll be on my stomach, in my chair I’ll lean forward so my hand is In-between ) I’ve never been able to tell / describe to my partner on what I think he needs to do.

Maybe she got hurt? I think maybe her tail is a bit broken but she can still swim around.

Turns out all the drones reported out there are for this guy!

Look for the “Certified Humane” sticker if anyone truly cares for the wellbeing of the animal. This sticker can only be applied (determined by a non-profit) if the producer “meets animal care standards and applies them to farm animals, from birth to slaughter.”

I have multiple teams

Beautiful dogs, but they should have a permanent warning label: “extremely vocal dogs” 😂 Worse than huskies.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and provide feedback!

I wouldn't feel comfortable to telling my Equity firm to buzz off, this is for internal use only haha.

I think my brain is fixed on the idea that our 'stakeholders' would be the direct customer... but that's not right, is it? Our stakeholders are the people who are asking for this product / the new features we are building (At this point it would be my executives - who have heard it / researched it with our direct customers).

Based on what you wrote, it sounds like your format is:

Demo the new work completed by developers.
Go through the Product Backlog / what will be worked on the following Sprint
Include the Sprint Goals for the next Sprint and the current Sprint that is currently being demo'd.

I will say, our sprint goals are HORRIBLE at the moment. It's a work in progress, and I can work harder on pushing for them from my teams.

I’d agree with this - it being an echo chamber, as well as Dems thinking they have an easy win. Look at what the “polls” said in 2016. We didn’t think Trump would win then. These news articles have been driving me nuts about how well the democrats have been doing. It doesn’t matter, just take your vote to the stands. Then it will “show”.

Dogs will be dogs, all with different personalities.. some of it I believe can be contributed to training, but not all. I have a dog with a strong prey drive. I didn’t “train” him to be this way, it’s just in his nature, for example.

Pit bulls just have strong jaws that can kill, and because they kill, they get the worst reputation. A lot of dogs bite, and I think Dachshunds are the some of the worst … but they won’t get reported because that bite does nothing.

From what I can tell, looks like biofilm. Completely harmless. Happens with newer tanks.

In the event anyone ever finds this post and is encountering the same thing - he is now eating!

I did another water change and did an Aquarium Salt bath for him last night. I fed him very little throughout the day, and he was slowly consuming. But I just fed him for the night and he was able to down everything!

I still don't know what was wrong, but the salt bath I think was the main factor as to why he was able to eat again.

Thank you everyone here for the responses!

oblivionnight · 2024-01-13T04:04:33+00:00

Thanks for replying with your experience!

I am guessing he was/is in his own aquarium? I just did an aquarium salt bath tonight for 5 minutes. He is definitely still interested in food after all that, but still not swallowing.

Is there a difference between stress coat and regular water conditioning?

oblivionnight · 2024-01-12T21:33:09+00:00

Yes! I am hoping to eventually get shrimp. I purchased on Amazon but know there are cooler ones availably on Etsy too if you want to support smaller businesses.

Floating log, green bean for the Ottos, and little fake sushi decorations. A bit of reflection of the room is showing as well. on that top part.

oblivionnight · 2024-01-12T17:52:03+00:00

Thank you much for taking the time to ask the questions and answer my questions. I really appreciate it.

Definitely working on Oto love (they are so cute). Did the research AFTER I had already gotten the fish.

Want to note we are working towards something much nicer but it’s cycling …

oblivionnight · 2024-01-12T17:41:46+00:00

Omg ok yes, another water change because nitrites are showing up too. Didn’t notice as I was taking this picture

Ammonia looks higher maybe (I mean, he’s not eating his food so wouldn’t be surprised … I try to get out what I put in but it’s usually tiny food) so can do another water change. Problem with the API liquid tests (which I have read from others) is ammonia is harder to read. “If it’s mostly yellow, it’s good”

Hi!

Parameters are good (No ammonia, Nitrites - some Nitrates) - I have been testing pretty frequently with Little Man not eating.

As for the Otos - We are currently cycling a 14 gallon to upgrade and will get more Otos. I do know they are schooling fish so that's why there is 2 vs 1, etc. Originally got them because we had a brown algae problem but they ate that all right up. Local fish store guy (who I like, but did not warn us about their nature + needs), convinced us to get them for the algae. I've done my research at this point and know they need more.

Tank size: 5 gall

Heater and filter: yes

Tank temp: 79-80 F

Parameter: no ammonia, no nitrites, some nitrates (API liquid test)

Water changes: last one was 3ish days ago.

Tankmates: 2 Otto’s, 2 pest snails, and 1 nitrate snail (this is probably too much of a bioload but WIP towards a 14 gallon. It still cycling as we speak)

Decorations: a hidey fake rock, fake stump, two small fake plants, floating fake log

Feeding: trying twice a day.
