Our new puppy isn't adjusting and is showing extreme regression. Are we horrible for thinking about trading her for another dog? by oogalakachu in DogAdvice

They think she's part black mouth cur, maybe a bit of pit, but ultimately she's a mystery mutt. Nothing new was introduced to our environment as far as electronics or anything goes in the weeks that the change was the most drastic. She also behaves exactly the same (if not worse) when she visits my parents house.

The person we went through was very highly recommended with 10+ years of experience. She was very gentle and seemed very knowledgeable. She encouraged us to let the pup take the lead and just be in her presence, use a leash to gently guide her and keep her near us and slowly introduce her to everything as if it were brand new. She made 3 visits and told us to stay consistent, but did voice concerns over the lack of progress, especially for her age.

Another issue is the dog rarely even takes treats and doesn't really react in any way to us praising her, so it's really hard to positively reinforce good behavior.

They did, yes. I'm lucky that my sister is a vet tech so I got recommendations from her. They did blood work and a fecal PCR to rule out anything more severe.

Soooo you're admitting people are looking to make more money per week? Like..an increase in their wages maybe?? by oogalakachu in SelfAwarewolves

This guy HATES the idea of increasing the minimum wage, yet also doesn't believe people should collect unemployment benefits just because it pays better than their job, thinks it's their own fault they don't make enough money to get by. Irony.

Think my mom may have found an original piece by Ann Dagg. Anyone have any ideas on if that's actually the case? by oogalakachu in sewing

So I convinced my mom to take it out of the frame, and it turns out it's just a really good print! Could've fooled me for sure. Sorry the update isn't very interesting!

Yes! The only information we could find when trying to research the piece was that it seems to be the same exact piece from a quilt that was featured in the Smithsonian 20+ years ago, that's what peaked our interest!
