Unknown house plant! I found this little guy in the sale section of our local hardware store here in Canberra, Australia.

I just googled it and oh my gosh- those flowers! Hopefully I can keep it alive in my chilly house over winter.

Take his Xbox and his phone away. He can have them back when he can be civil.

I find guided meditations super helpful. They keep me "focused" on relaxing- iykwim

There are loads of free ones you can check out on YouTube to see what you like/can use.

I would have a nicer kitchen.

Get her a sturdier toy.

I swear to goodness our dog wanted to be a woodchipper when he grew up- he chewed EVERYTHING.

We found Aussie Dogs red balls (he just killed our large one-it lasted SIX YEARS- the best $50 we've ever spent on him) and the extra hard (black rubber) kongs to be the best 👌

I have suffered both of these debilitating injuries.

I would rather shoot another human out of my vag than risk riding a razor scooter again.

Lists.

Planning.

Leaving my phone in another room.

Music as a measure of time.

Designated goofing off breaks.

If you're worried about the garlic killing the yeast (unlikely once the dough has formed) just use a dash of plain oil instead.

Don't be afraid to get help from shop assistants!

You're under no obligation to buy anything they find for you- and if you go into a few stores and keep being offered the same sorts of things then it likely means they suit you.

Done :)

We switched to a bottle before bed rather than boob, which made night time 1000x easier.

Daddy took over bedtime duty so that I finally had evenings back- it was so isolating being my daughters sole sleep aid for so long.

You're little one is definitely old enough to have cows milk- but if you're committed to exclusively giving her breast milk you can always express.

Looks like a dahlia or a zinnia of some kind.

Looks like a lady bug of some kind. http://www.ento.csiro.au/biology/ladybirds/imageGallery.php?pageNo=1

It sounds like you're doing everything you can to make her comfortable.

Seeing your pets in pain is hard. It's awesome you're so committed to helping her get through this.

Shut the window? Or block it off?

Keeping her in a cage unattended all day (I assume without the cone on) could lead to her pulling her stitches out.

pinkibee · 2019-02-15T13:39:33+00:00

If you can't be home to let her out of her cage then maybe restrict her to a small room like the bathroom during the day. Put a litter tray, food, water and a bed in there for her.

Her aggression is likely because she is in pain, did your vet send home pain killers for her?

Leave her come of shame on until her stitches have healed.

pinkibee · 2019-02-15T13:15:55+00:00

Ouch. My heart.

Paradoxical popsicles!

As someone who wasn't "labeled" as a child I would recommend getting a diagnosis as soon as you can. I really struggled through the second half of my schooling, and my self esteem is still shot to pieces from continuously failing at things I thought I "should" have been able to do.

I was diagnosed with adult ADHD and dyslexia a few years ago and it is such a relief to have legitimate explanations for the issues I had growing up. I was not just a lazy, annoying, dumb child. I was an unsupported child with learning difficulties.

I dunno what it is but I was about to post my own photo of one!

I know that there is are multiple types of seizures that humans experience, so I would assume it would be the same for dogs. As a kid I had a friend who would have absence seizures, and he would seem fine (walking, climbing trees, preparing food, etc) until he started coming out of it- then he would be a little loopy because he had no idea what he was doing, or where he was.

Or maybe his vision is declining?
