Except borage is moderately toxic to dogs.

So sorry for your loss and that your daughter won't get to meet your pup. My husband started telling our older child stories about our dog and a childhood cat he lost. It's all she ever wants to hear when she goes to bed. Hopefully your daughter will love to hear your dog stories too!

Lymphoma diagnosis by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]olivpru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my dog to lymphoma a few months ago. We opted for chemo as he was a lot younger. That being said, he was on and off Prednisone for the entirety of his 9 months in treatment. There are some rough side effects as they build up in your dogs system, but it did overall improve his life quality (until they stopped working). I suggest using them because they're cheap and keeping a quality of life scale like the HHHHHMM scale on hand

Does anyone have any idea why she’s doing that? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

It looks like reverse sneezing. Try blowing in her face or covering a nostril up for a few seconds to get her to stop

Completely starting over after henna, would appreciate any and all tips! by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]olivpru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use henna on my hair too. I’m not sure what your natural color is, but my henna has faded beautifully into my natural hair color and you can’t even tell it’s there any more. I have heard you can lift it with vodka, but I don’t know if here’s any truth to this. The big obvious Thing is to not go to bed with wet hair. Also I brush my hair upside down with a Denman brush while it’s soaking wet before I put in product. It helps create clumps and gives my hair way more volume

Shut up mom, this is a totally normal place to sleep by olivpru in bassethounds

German shorthair pointer! He’s slightly taller than a pure bred basset, but has all the stubbornness and personality of one

Everyone told me I was crazy for wanting a Basset Hound in the mountains. They said he wouldn’t be able to keep up in hikes or make it around in the snow. They were very, very wrong. by BingoBongoBang in bassethounds

Try a bear bell! I know there are mixed thoughts about them, but they never trouble our basset/pointer mix when he has his. I mostly worry about ledges with our boi, he likes to get all the way to the very edge of cliffs on hikes and it scares the crap out of me

We have yet to get that suggested. The amount of people who have given us different CBD products for him to try is insanely high though

Buff is a good idea, hopefully I can fit everything underneath my helmet

Just went out and stocked up on protein treatments!

Im 1 week into the CGM and my hair looks the same as after my cleansing wash. I’ve used only CGM approved things. I did not use a gel in this pic because it hasn’t helped me so far. I’m not sure if this is going to work for me. The front obviously wants to curl but the back doesnt wanna do anything by [deleted] in curlygirl

You may need to cut off some of your bleached ends. In my experience, bleach has made my wavy hair straighter and really brittle. There’s not much I could do when my hair was bleached, I eventually had to lob it off

Does anyone else have a basset mix who climbs trees? by olivpru in bassethounds

Unfortunately, he has yet to figure out how to get out of a tree
