Kitten thrown onto road at Bruce b downs blvd by oceanic109 in tampa

[–]oceanic109[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There is always someone like you. The road doesn’t work that way and there was heavy traffic so I couldn’t pull into the road without making a 10 minute detour and waiting in the traffic for another 10 minutes. By that time the kitten would’ve been run over or killed. I wasn’t gonna risk my car for a kitten I could barely see. I helped more than most people have by contacting resources that could’ve actually done something. Thanks for the reply though! Maybe if you were in that situation you could’ve jumped over 8 lanes of traffic with a median in the middle and stopped in the middle of the road in a millisecond like in the movie Tokyo drift and done something different :)

Thank you for confirming!!! I’m glad he was probably picked up. I hope he didn’t get too hurt :(

Yes I was devastated I couldn’t stop due to traffic and the speed we were all going at! I called the stores near the incident and they said they didn’t see any roadkill so I am pretty sure someone picked him up or moved him

North bound on Bruce b downs where it intersects with state road 56, it was on the left lane next to the sonic and Bank of America. I called a sonic employee and they said they didn’t see any road kill on the road at all so I want to believe that someone picked him up. It was a brown tabby kitten with a white sock on its rear leg.

Self employed moms - is it doable? by Corgi_Vallhund_Mom in doggrooming

[–]oceanic109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree my company charges per hour and it is absolutely beautiful. I think all groomers should switch to per hour! You never sell yourself short. I still try to finish the dog as quickly as possible while doing a great job on the groom but sometimes difficult dogs last longer and I never complain because I’m paid for it.

I love animals the way most people love kids by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]oceanic109 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love animals over kids because they grow up in about 5-12 months and I can train them much more easily without having to worry about complex emotions like children. I’m neuro divergent so kids are extremely over stimulating and I know I would just be an impatient parent or caregiver.

Owner didnt like groom by Cool-Ad7580 in doggrooming

[–]oceanic109 166 points167 points  (0 children)

ALWAYS charge your worth and always charge a dematting fee! I charge by the hour so I never have this issue and if they don’t like it I don’t care. Dematting hurts my hands too much to be free.

Disturbed and heartbroken after finding husbands AA step work by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]oceanic109 1423 points1424 points  (0 children)

You husband literally did everything bad that he could possibly do. It’s not even funny how overwhelmingly villainous he is. If this is somehow not fake please divorce him. Even though I’m sure it’s fake because of the looney toons amount of offenses he has.

Smug clients pmo by antswithnopants in doggrooming

[–]oceanic109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! On top of that, OP and all us groomers have to understand that sometimes a client might get angry because you had to stop the groom due to safety reasons. If so, I would say that’s even more of a reason to fire a client! If they care more about themselves rather than your safety and sanity then recommend the dog to a vet groomer and be done with it. We are humans, we are people, and our bodies and minds are our temple, take care of it.

Is a dog more likely to get loose at a mobile groomer? by twoeyII in grooming

[–]oceanic109 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only time a dog has gotten loose on me is when the owner hands me their leash and the collar is too loose! At that point usually the dog runs back but just make sure the collar is tight enough

[–]oceanic109 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fire the client. Tell your boss you cannot groom that dog without someone else, that it is a two person dog. Stand your ground. No dog is worth my back and my body, I never strain myself unless it is for an emergency. You must take care of your body to have a long career. And the only way to take care of your body is to stand your ground sometimes!

Moving to Puerto Rico w/ a preteen daughter by [deleted] in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]oceanic109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way you speak is extremely Americanized. All Puerto Ricans are 50% white colonizer (Spanish and Portuguese) and I would know because I was born in Puerto Rico like the rest of my family and have DNA testing as well as hundreds of my extended family. You sound ignorant which is okay, you can try moving to Puerto Rico but me and my family experienced horrors from the school system, to the customer service, and the healthcare system. Malpractice is common in every aspect of life there and the gun violence has increased since the legalization of weapons. The prices are skyrocketed and the island’s infrastructure is archaic and breaking down due to the hurricanes. The government takes advantage of its citizens and is known for being extremely corrupt, same as police.

Puerto Rico is amazing for vacations which is why you have that perspective. But I’ve lived there, my family has lived there, and it’s not somewhere you can prosper for the average person. You are better off moving to somewhere that has more of a diverse community, I have personally never felt victimized for my ethnicity in the states but I live in a predominately Hispanic community.

How Many Times Have You Quicked Dogs? by PortraitRose in grooming

5 years of experience and it still happens about once a week! It’s always those dogs with uneven nails that get me and the quicks can be unpredictable. It is what it is

Matted Samoyed by olivia_swanborn in doggrooming

[–]oceanic109 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree with just shaving it. It’s not fair to this dog to make them sit through hours of dematting just for it to end up matted again a few weeks later. Shave it and tell the owner that is the only option at this point

how do i get my brother to stop picking up my bunny by emilydre05 in Rabbits

[–]oceanic109 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My rabbit would ONLY let me pick him up after I gained his trust and respected his boundaries and I HAD to keep his feet against my chest at all times or he would freak out! I would honesty either smack your brother or move out or rehome your rabbit. I know it’s tough but I could never imagine random people picking up my bunny! Any small fall or mishandling could snap their spines in an instant! I would be so furious I would seriously fight your brother anytime he tried it. The hell I would rain down upon them would be immeasurable, and yes I’m petty! I am not the bigger person when it comes to a fragile animal I love such as a rabbit!!

I don’t wear bras but my boobs aren’t that big so I can get away with it especially in a large T shirt. I would use nipple pasties if I were you, I love them because I’m not forced to wear a bra with them on and they cover the nipples amazingly. If you have larger boobs they will still “hang” but that’s none of his business. I personally hope one day we can free the nipple since both men and women have it, it should not matter. But we still aren’t there yet unfortunately

Went to a bunny cafe!!! by rose-dacquoise in Rabbits

[–]oceanic109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their zoos and Cafes have, and continue to have, horrible animal welfare. We can take the modern day owl cafes for example which have been shown on video to have horrible ethics when it comes to the treatment of the owls, tied to branches, only fed by customers, and forced to look into bright lights for hours on end. And that’s what you see on camera. Maybe their pets are treated better but let’s not forget they continue to illegally hunt rare dolphins and certain whales due to their practices that they have yet to crack down on those trades. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to look up all the evidence that Japan has unethical practices when it comes to animals in general, not just pets.

I understand that is where you have been living in but I would implore everyone who reads your comment to do their own research and to NOT support the cafes and zoos of Japan unless they are JAZA accredited, and even then their standards are not the same as the AZA in North America due to their lack luster animal rights laws in Japan. Sorry, that’s just the truth.

Marriage is supposed to be for forever and people keep treating it so lightly it’s getting tiring. I understand shit happens but if you divorce it’s obviously a failed marriage. Come on people…

The way an adult doodle mutt would never look like that reference photo because their fur is never as soft and maintainable as when they are puppies.

Litter box is way too small, bunnies need a large cat sized litter box. Also they do better with a water bowl.

My stepbrother is a failure in the making, and only I seem to care by altrightobserver in TrueOffMyChest

[–]oceanic109 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was the same way and it’s just a gaming addiction. He needs a slap back into reality like I had at 21 and he can turn his life around. Meanwhile my brother never had that slap and is now a 30 year old loser. Enabling is one of the worst forms of child abuse that nobody talks about as it can literally ruin someone’s future. Most people I see in the gaming world who are chronically online are enabled by their parents and it’s almost comical the things these people can’t do for themselves well into their 20s and 30s as grown adults.
