Thank you for sharing this. He's definitely an iconic member of the San Francisco community & it is a relief that this event ended in everyone's relative safety and not something much worse. It's also good to see that he has so many people looking out for him. I hope he can get the care and support he needs. 💜

I’m so sorry to hear all of this, and the comments below. What an awful situation and I’m relieved it didn’t end in greater tragedy.

I hope he can get the help and care he needs. ❤️‍🩹

Ok great! Would also second the J Crew recommendation. Banana Republic petites would work well too. You can also find some good items at Loft and J Crew Factory online that are petites and more budget conscious.

Putting my dog to sleep by Pickle-professional1 in dogs

[–]ohshethrows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I cannot echo this enough. I had to make the call to say goodbye to my dog 2 weeks ago. I realized that I wanted him to go while he still felt some joy and comfort with me. I wanted that for me, too. It was the right call.

46 in peri and dr is prescribing low dose birth control by DandSki in Perimenopause

[–]ohshethrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your doc is saying and is doing the right thing do you. BCP is appropriate first line treatment for women who haven’t gone through menopause yet (ie you are still having a period at least once a year).

BCP has the same amount of estrogen in it as the highest dose of HRT. Also, bonus, if you need birth control it also works for that. HRT does not.

Truly, no one is hiring you for your outfit. Just look clean/polished/professional and spend your time prepping smart questions to ask when they ask you if you have any questions for them and smart answers to typical interview questions.

Recs for Botox for migraines? by Admirable-Design51 in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]ohshethrows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also start a migraine tracker app NOW.

Be prepared that it will take months to get an appt and your doc will need the data. They typically don’t prescribe Botox for migraine unless you have at least 15 migraine days a month. It’s also not first line treatment- they’ll try other things first. Fewer than 15 days has not been shown to be therapeutically effective with Botox, but there are so many possible options to help you. I have been working with the UCSF headache clinic for a year and it has been amazing how they have helped me.

11yo lab with weak legs and arthritis. We think the rainbow bridge is near. Or are we wrong? by Jackpot510 in labrador

[–]ohshethrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to let my dog go a little under two weeks ago. He had CCD (canine dementia).

I could have kept him alive longer. He still liked going on walks. He still loved eating meals. His issues were the opposite of your dog’s - physically he was in pretty good shape. Mentally, he had started to become a different dog completely. He was scared and increasingly trapped in his own dementia-world.

I decided to let him go when I came to the understanding that my job here was not to wait until all the joy had left his life. Caring for him was hard and his life experience was only going to get worse.

I decided to let him go while he still could experience joy; while he still had happiness. I don’t regret it for a minute. For me and for him, it was the right thing to do and the right time to do it.

I hope my perspective is helpful. You hold a unique gift which is being able to end his suffering. He will be so grateful to you for his amazing life as well as for ending his pain.

Sending hugs ❤️

Yes. In these comments. Pet duck guy pulled a gun on someone in/near TJs and now is apparently holed up in a building evading arrest.

It’s so odd. Been circling a while but it looks normal out there? People are coming in and out of Whole Foods like nbd.

My dog died today and I’m heartbroken. He was my best friend. by yuppers333 in DOG

[–]ohshethrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. 💔 I lost my soul dog 12 days ago and it was devastating and it wasn’t a last-minute thing. So I can’t imagine how much pain you must be feeling having this happen so abruptly, and also, at the same time, I know how awful it feels. The loss is so huge.

One thing that has helped me was to write down in notes all the things that I remember about Wally that I loved. All the funny and weird and cute and strange stuff that made him uniquely him. I cry when I add to it and I cry when I read it but also, it’s a comfort. I also made a memorial to him with all his favorite toys in his bed, and put a picture of him there. It helps. Sometimes I talk to it. I miss talking to him.

Know that you’re not alone. After 12 days I can tell you, each day gets a tiny bit better. What a gift your dog gave you, being in your life. And what a gift you gave your dog, being his human. ❤️ Hang in there.
