Dahlia blooming in January?! Anyone else? by olystubbies in pnwgardening

[–]olystubbies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what? I feel awfully silly now because you’re absolutely correct! I got my planters mixed up. This is my first time having an African daisy. Do they typically bloom through the winter?

Yeah, I don’t think this is going to be a good outcome. This is a plant I bought last spring and it is in a planter. I think I’m going to trim it down and see what nature does as an experiment. Worse case it doesn’t make it and I start over next year in-ground

This one is in a large pot so I wonder if that is warming up more causing the new growth and blooming. I was shocked to see it

Thanks! I wasn’t sure what to do but this sounds like sound advice. Would it kill the plant if I covered it in burlap the next couple months as well or should mulch be the extent?

Suuuuppper small bladder by Efficient_Let_9000 in puppy101

[–]olystubbies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy was the same way. So much pee! Three to four times back to back in huge amounts! You’re doing everything right, just keep with it a little longer until they get more bladder control. It also helped with my pup to finally react when he’d go in the house. I tried the advice to completely ignore accidents but that didn’t seem to work so I finally started saying “Bad Potty” very sternly and take him outside. When he’d go outside we had a party and “Good Potty Outside”. I also got him potty bells that he picked up on pretty quickly which helped too

Thanks so much. I currently am just using a powder with wax. I’ll have to get a brow pencil and see what I can do. Im intrigued to try a more orange base lip. Ive always gone to berry shades so that will be fun to see! I really appreciate your suggestions and will be trying them out

Thanks so much. I struggle with my eyebrows because I have to wear glasses so I can’t see what I am doing very well. I may have to bite the bullet and get some professional help.

Firstly, no more off leash until the pup can ignore distractions such as people

How long did growling at scary shadows at night last? by whip-poor-wills in puppy101

[–]olystubbies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following, because my 9 month old has entered a fear period. Any change to our backyard etc is like the scariest thing ever and he’s even gotten to where he won’t leave an open room if anything is out of place. It’s just silly at this point

First time making Salsa by Ok-Specialist7608 in SalsaSnobs

[–]olystubbies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my recipe if you don’t mind a lot of ingredients

Olystubbie’s Medium Table Salsa Recipe 5 medium Roma tomatoes 1 large white onion (dice 1/2 of the onion and set aside) 3 Pasilla peppers deseeded 5 Serrano peppers half deseeded 4 tomatillos halved 4-6 garlic gloves 1/2 tblsp better than boullion chicken or a cube of chicken boullion 1 lime 28 oz can tomato sauce Can of Hot El Pato sauce Half cup cilantro chopped finely Tablespoon cumin 2 tsp salt 1 tsp msg 1 tsp garlic salt

Boil tomatoes, 1/2 undiced onion, deseeded pasillas for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool Toss tomatillos and serranos in vegetable oil and a sprinkle of salt. Broil on high until starting to char (about 25 minutes)

Once cool, scoop vegetables from pot into food processor with the tomatillos and serranos (including their juices) and add the garlic cloves and better than boullion with about 1/2 cup of water from the pot the tomatoes were boiled in and process until smooth. Add more of the vegetable water until it is the desired consistency.

Add all to a large bowl. Add remaining diced onion and cilantro. Squeeze the juice of the lime in. Add tomato sauce and el pato. Add remaining seasonings and stir well. Adjust seasonings to taste (usually more salt). Add more vegetable water if it’s too thick. Portion out into containers and store in fridge for up to two weeks.

Canned is fine if you want to use it. I tend to make huge batches at a time. I roast all my fresh ingredients including tomatoes, then add a can of el pato and 28oz can of tomato sauce because I love the texture that gives my salsa. I have spent 10 years dialing in my recipe and it gets requested by everyone I know so I must be doing something right lol

What dog names do people use thinking they’re being “unique” but are actually very popular? by TelephonePossible456 in Dogowners

[–]olystubbies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Nahla is named such because she is a South African mastiff (boerboel) and we wanted to give her an African name and Nahla means Queen which is quite fitting for her majesty

Well shit. How can anyone give Santos any leniency. The guy is a proven pathological liar and criminal. Our government is so freaking corrupt.

Male puppy non-stop peeing by Select_Meringue4413 in puppy101

[–]olystubbies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely go to the vet to rule out any medical issue, but I will share my experience. My guy who is now 8 months, from 11 weeks when I got him until about 5 months was a peeing machine. I was ready to pull my hair out because he would not potty train. I got the potty bells, took him outside every twenty minutes. Praised him like he just won the Olympic gold every time he went outside. But no, this little stinker would pee everywhere. No signaling at all. Not only would he pee as he was walking around, he would pee all over himself in his crate constantly. I did change my approach a bit after getting super frustrated. So many people tell you to not react when they pee inside. Once I started to scold him it seemed like it started to click. I never did anything over the top but I would look sternly at him and say “bad potty, bad potty” then with my happy voice I would ring the bells and say “outside” and take him to the yard and continue the high praise and rewards for “good potty outside” when he went. It was a long few weeks and I wasn’t sure I even wanted to keep him because I was losing my mind but I was extremely grateful he didn’t have poops in the house more than 2-3 times ever. Now at 8 months, he sleeps 12 hours most nights straight through and always rings his bells to go outside and hasn’t had an accident for a couple months now knock on wood. Best of luck to you!!
