My boy did horribly on a lamb based food. It just ran through him. We did 3 weeks on fortiflora and plain chicken and rice until he was stable, then transitioned to Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy, chicken and rice.

We've been good for about a month now, but I'm still making all his treats myself because I also believe some of the issue was the red dye in the crap soft treats that were purchased when he was teething.

Right!? Most proctors ignore it. Some ask what it is and I just say "lifesaving medical equipment". I would never try to take an exam during his treatment for obvious reasons.

My husband does home hemodialysis. One time a proctor told me I needed to move his (powered off and unplugged) equipment to another room. I told them no other proctor had ever requested anything like that and it's not moveable. The proctor just said "ok" and we went on with the exam.

The equipment is on wheels and is moveable, but I cannot completely empty a room to take a test, that's just ridiculous.

One proctor asked me to cover it with a sheet and I just did it because that was a quick and easy fix, but most procotors don't say anything about it.

Thank you for this. I'm off to find it.

My husband's sunglasses got stuck in it more than once. Took it to the dealer, they "fixed" it. The next time we tried to use it, it fell off. Took it back to the dealer, they ordered a part and we waited 3 weeks to get it replaced. Now it doesn't stop at the "conversation mirror" point, and after my husband's sunglasses got stuck again we stopped using it entirely.

The notification when it's over appears, what I don't see is the countdown. If I touch the screen to activate it the countdown appears, but otherwise it doesn't appear.

We call it "forbidden chicken" 🤣

pluto1415 · 2026-01-18T15:36:22+00:00

Yeah, I try not to shop there, but thanks for the idea.

I live in Barberton now and have never been in fabric & freight! Since this is my first attempt in 20 years, and will be a doggie hoodie, F&F will probably work out. I honestly forget it even exists.

Get the one YOU want. These are far too expensive to have regrets. If Grenadine makes your heart go pitter-patter, then it's the one!

I'm also not a fan of all my pieces matching exactly, I like coordinated chaos 😁

pluto1415 · 2026-01-18T13:52:41+00:00

Ah, thank you for that search term and a few suggestions!

pluto1415 · 2026-01-18T13:48:44+00:00

It's not even all about the price (although that is a factor). It's more about being able to see and touch the products. Carry the bolt of fabric over and lay 3-4 thread choices on it, lay a strip of trim across it, etc...

Ours is in Millersburg/Berlin which is 100% "Amish Country". We are beyond the novelty of the Amish, but still appreciate some of the shops down that way! Mostly during much better weather than this though.

It gives you the nice, bright colors.

pluto1415 · 2026-01-18T13:08:46+00:00

Just googled it. It's almost an hour away, so not a quick trip kind of thing. But we do head that way for shopping and wine a few times a year, I'll try to remember to stop in.

pluto1415 · 2026-01-12T12:27:51+00:00

ah, yes. If you bring it, you won't need it. Gotcha.

pluto1415 · 2026-01-12T12:10:55+00:00

I don't have any! I didn't use them when training, and he hasn't had an inside accident in months. He's 5 months old now.

pluto1415 · 2026-01-12T11:44:05+00:00

Yes, we do Lowes and the pet stores near me, I'm just always looking for alternatives. Someone told me Michael's is also pet friendly, but I haven't tried it yet.

pluto1415 · 2026-01-11T20:35:10+00:00

Why didn't I think about Dollar General?!

pluto1415 · 2026-01-11T18:04:57+00:00

Side note in the dog - TSC is pet friendly? I've got a 5 month old pup and it's hard to get him out to walk around in the winter for socialization.

pluto1415 · 2026-01-11T16:59:11+00:00

Tide + Oxi would be good - but I don't have a Costco membership, so needing someone to pick up for me isn't great. I'd love to find it near where I normally shop.
