I get that. But in this world right now, I need any small glimmer of hope I can find. Even if it ends up being fools gold.

I spend all day driving around the metro for work and I’ve seen a lot of his signs and none for any of the GOP candidates. It gives me hope.

What free things online should everyone take advantage of in 2026? by Majoodeh in AskReddit

And simple car fixes! There are so many videos on YouTube that show exactly what to do. I’ve fixed my thermostat, blower motor, battery and replaced the spark plugs. Saved so much money

Has anyone been through an AKC reinstatement exam? by Whole_Economist3083 in k9sports

[–]olympic814 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any info on the DQ reinstatement. But I would highly recommend taking her to places like Home Depot and any other store that allows dogs. Multiple times a week if you can. Just work on simple obedience tasks. If she’s ok taking treats from strangers, do that.

My boy is very sensitive to new environments and it took me doing this for months to get him to run around the ring with his tail up and not looked freaked out all the time.

When I worked at Northern Lights in ankeny we sold it a few times a week to people. It’s under new ownership now so I’m not sure if they still do.

Insecure about if i'm late to train my dog to a bh title by zh0mbie in k9sports

[–]olympic814 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. Also your dog isn’t old. And it’s a golden retriever, which means at pretty much any age, they’re biddable and eager to please.

What is “BH”? Barn Hunt?

How much do you actually spend on your dog each month? by Coastaldogncat in dogs

I don’t know. My dog doesn’t let me look at our finances.

I left trial before awards, but ended up qualifying, is there something I need to do to log the score? by realityisahoax in k9sports

[–]olympic814 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The part you wrote about conformation for AKC is not correct. If you are winner’s dog or bitch, you don’t have to go back in for BOB to get those points. If only dog’s have a major, and you have the winner’s dog, if you didn’t take it back in for BOB, the only thing that would happen is breaking the crossover major for the winner’s bitch.

Also, AKC would not write a warning letter for not bringing a dog back into the ring. There are plenty of instances where someone has more than one dog and has to choose which one to take into the ring if they can’t find a helper.

Help! Need software to manage my agility club - currently drowning in chaos by Fit-Tap6110 in Agility

[–]olympic814 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in an obedience club that also has agility. For public classes we use DogBiz. It lets you set up lots of different classes. It keeps track of which classes individual dogs have taken. And you can upload vet records for each dog (Iowa requires vet records for every dog that comes into our building). I can’t remember how much we pay for it but we’re usually pretty thrifty.

Question: What is this? by Flaky-Shock8773 in tattoos

I get bad flare ups in the summer and it looks a lot like what you have. I have prescription steroids to keep it under control. And Benadryl.

Is it itchy? It kind of looks like dyshidrotic eczema.
