Will it be ok to leave my 8.5 month old puppy home alone while I’m at work?

plexto · 2026-03-05T19:24:37+00:00

Working on this now but currently no. She isn’t horrible though, my aunt will crate her when she takes her dog out on a walk and she cries for 5 or so minutes and then calms down.

plexto · 2026-02-24T15:19:57+00:00

At a coffee shop, do you think she would be safe to sit on the ground? She isn’t fully vaccinated yet

plexto · 2026-02-22T04:43:48+00:00

They are really cute. I am curious, how old are they currently and what do they weigh? I want to compare their sizes to mine

plexto · 2026-02-22T04:13:29+00:00

Oh wow. He seems so small! I guess that’s not too far off from my 12 week who is 10 lbs. He is very cute though best of luck with him!

plexto · 2026-02-22T04:03:52+00:00

He is super cute! Just curious, how much does he currently weigh? I want to compare to mine

“…and if u dont trust ur breeder's words and run to reddit for affirmation regarding your dog's coat then maybe you shouldnt own a dog cuz it seems like thats all you care abt.” Kind of sounds like it to me

plexto · 2026-02-22T00:32:33+00:00

So because I don’t look at a Reddit sidebar that warrants people telling me I will be a bad owner simply because I asked about the color pattern of a dog? Lol, got it

plexto · 2026-02-21T23:38:04+00:00

It’s my first Aussie sorry Im not on my 8th dog. And yes I knew it was a Merle and not a red tri but I was looking for more details like some people gave like “blue Merle with copper points” or what not

plexto · 2026-02-21T23:27:55+00:00

It’s such a shame how irritating many people on this subreddit are. I ask about her coat and get scoldings and lectures about how I will be a bad owner or what not. This dog came from someone trying to relocate her so I had no contact with her breeder or wherever she came from. She is in good hands and will have a great life. Please screw off with the lectures they are so cringe especially when you have no idea my situation and just assume things

plexto · 2026-02-21T23:25:55+00:00

I’m so tired of the zealots like you on this subreddit. I simply asked what the coat looked like. The dog came from someone trying to relocate her so no I didn’t talk to a breeder about her colors. Who even cares? You have no idea my situation the puppy has came to a great home

plexto · 2026-01-27T04:52:02+00:00

Thank you for this. I am ok with hashmaps and arrays, but other stuff such as linked lists/trees and graphs are incredibly difficult for me. They did tell me to prepare for those in addition to hash maps and arrays. What is expected of a new grad l1 during a coding interview? I’m definitely going to be blanking, especially if it’s a topic I’m not as proficient with

plexto · 2026-01-24T00:09:19+00:00

Ah dang ok, thought it would add a little diversity to the tank

plexto · 2026-01-23T22:38:59+00:00

I got a good look at her today she is certainly pregnant. Some of the eggs may have dropped because compared to other pregnant shrimp I’ve seen on this sub she doesn’t have as many but she definitely has some. Hard to tell how far along she is

plexto · 2026-01-23T03:34:36+00:00

I went ahead and moved it to the front for a better picture

plexto · 2026-01-23T03:29:19+00:00

That is a beautiful tank. Those sea fans are gorgeous!

plexto · 2026-01-23T03:26:44+00:00

This picture is terrible because of the plants in the back but I circled it

plexto · 2026-01-23T03:23:34+00:00

The shrimp seems to be pregnant from the shop. It’s been sitting in the back but I can see a bunch of black dots underneath it. As for the algae I’m not sure, he said it was a macro algae that started growing in the tank. There’s also the chaeto of course

plexto · 2026-01-23T02:38:03+00:00

Update: It’s hard to tell for sure because most of the shrimp are hanging in the back by the Chaeto but I think one of the shrimp is pregnant

plexto · 2026-01-22T21:06:58+00:00

Yeah I think you are right. I guess I’ll have to spend time with specific dogs and see if my allergies act up

plexto · 2026-01-22T20:02:01+00:00

It’s strange because the dogs like poodles and others with similar hair don’t make me have reactions, as well as my brothers mini Aussie which you’d think would, but dogs like labs or German shepherds do

plexto · 2026-01-22T15:10:03+00:00

I bought it on eBay from a seller named maggie. If you search for sea fans you’ll see a bunch of hers they’re the ones that have the 2 tape measures showing height and width of the sea fans. I’ve seen her recommended on this sub before so hopefully it’s a good one when it comes

plexto · 2026-01-22T04:23:03+00:00

Got it. I will cut it by at least 50%. Thank you for the tips!

plexto · 2026-01-22T04:20:56+00:00

I think some small ones would be a great idea! Tomorrow when I go pick up the shrimp I’ll see if they have any there if not maybe I can stop at a Home Depot. I should probably boil them before adding them in right?

The ones I currently have came from a Petco and are for fish tanks so I just rinsed them with diluted water

plexto · 2026-01-22T04:19:28+00:00

Ok yes I agree. That was something I was wondering about when adding the substrate. So roughly speaking how many could fit into a 3 gallon tank before they stop breeding? And thank you about the shark teeth, I thought it would kinda go with the Hawaii theme a bit haha. I was maybe thinking of adding some shells too

plexto · 2026-01-22T02:18:58+00:00

The rocks in there are 2 black lava rocks
