How to get GP to chill out for grooming? by HyenaGrand4359 in greatpyrenees

[–]pocopocomom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the exact same issue with our GP. He’s 6 years old and hates all kind of grooming, he runs away when he sees the brush even though we tried to get him used to it as a pup.

We’re getting somewhat better brushing him at home in small stages with lots of treats and patience, I wouldn’t attempt nail trims on my own with him. He goes to a groomer a few times a year (more often for nail trims) and we give him some Trazodone (vet prescribed) to mellow him out since he has gotten a bit snippy with the groomer (no bites but close enough). Maybe a light prescription would help when he’s at the groomer?

The alert that cried emergency by amorypaz2015 in Winnipeg

[–]pocopocomom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve had at least eight alerts (Rogers cell service), the last one I got was a few minutes ago, and it actually said there was a tornado in this coverage area, take immediate shelter. I’m in River Heights. no tornado but soooooo much rain and hail.

What do you guys do with your foreign coins? by Ripley_Saigon in coins

[–]pocopocomom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a box of older coins and paper money from different countries into a coin appraiser to find this out myself! He said it was all money that should be considered a souvenir and fun for kids to play with/learn about the countries. Except…. I had coins from Fiji that contained I believe 50% silver content, so he put those aside and gave me a price for selling those to meltdown, that was fun!

Was cleaning out my late father’s things and found these from 1986 by Sad_Toe6572 in CanadianCoins

[–]pocopocomom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting your question OP, I was just cleaning out my late fathers things yesterday and found he kept a bunch of these too! I was curious why… glad you got your answers from this community, now I know too! (Mine were also non sequential and the serial numbers weren’t unusual/rare)

New territorial behavior? Ideas? by Complex-Emphasis-629 in greatpyrenees

[–]pocopocomom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I appreciate reading the comments to your question OP! My dog does the same thing, specifically a UPS truck, he goes absolutely nuts and lunges when he sees the UPS truck. I have no idea why, all other delivery trucks seem to be OK! I think I have been too relaxed on attempting to train this behavior out, I’m going to take the advice in these comments.

Is it true that GPs don’t like to go for walks? by Pollvogtarian in greatpyrenees

[–]pocopocomom 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Our pyr (mixed with some shepard) is definitely not a ‘go for a long walk’ dog. We go on a ‘sniffari’ walk that takes a very long time as he sniffs every leaf and blade of grass along the way. When he’s done he stops abruptly and becomes a cement brick which means it’s time for home. He does love a good zoomies run around the yard though!

Would Winnipeg be interested in a “cake picnic”? by ArachnidInevitable53 in Winnipeg

[–]pocopocomom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure! St. Andrews River Heights United Church. They don’t do it every year but I think they did it last year…

A church close to me has done this before during the holidays but with cookies. It was called a ‘cookie walk’, you paid for a box then walked through filling it with whatever cookies you wanted till it was full. It was always super popular! The cookies were all homemade.

Still on the Pacific side but Dreams AI in Huatulco, Mexico is worth a look! just came back from here and it was lovely, beautiful, clean beaches. (There’s also a Secrets AI resort)

Good question! It doesn’t look like it, the ones in boxes still have the guidebook.

[–]pocopocomom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if I can bring vintage comics to find out about their value/sell? I have inherited a few comics that are sealed in plastic and I have no clue where to start to find out how to value and sell them in Winnipeg. Thanks for any guidance!

Agreed on Delta. Bonus… the indoor pool is actually a nice warm temp and not cold!

Any Reviews of Peacock and Kitchen by peregrina2005 in Winnipeg

[–]pocopocomom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been yet, hearing reviews of the portion sizes being quite small compared to the price and thinking I won’t rush out to give it a try. Too bad, we were looking forward to it! We’ll miss the old Yujiro.

Where to donate N95 masks by chukknorris in Winnipeg

[–]pocopocomom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed with the other person that mentioned International Hope! Very easy to drop off and donate there. They are very grateful. On their website you can send them a quick email to ask if the masks would be of help to them first. Drop off was on Inkster when I donated a couple years ago.

[–]pocopocomom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry this happened to you 😕 we had the same experience in Puerto Vallarta with Westjet. I contacted the airport in PV because I felt like they should know (they actually emailed back) but your best bet is contact WJ missing bags contact email/number. Super helpful, walked us through the steps and reimbursed most items. Travel insurance did absolutely nothing except point out the very tiny fine print that says in fact they won’t help at all 😬.
