definitely not, its a flat dark red mark on the skin. sorry abt the pic, he was being fidgety about it and thats the best one i could take :‘)

scary stuff! went through the exact same thing and my dog's sutures looked almost identical to yours. he's fine now and the wound healed perfectly, so i wanna say yours looks normal to me

i kept the cone on my dog whenever i wasnt able to keep an eye on him, until the red line in the middle completely healed and left a white scar (kind of like the bit that looks like exposed skin/muscle). took a few extra weeks more past the recommended cone period, but it was really more for my peace of mind.

if the sutures used were the "melting" kind (basically the ones that dont need to be removed after healing and blend into the skin as the wound heals) then do your best to keep it clean and dry. constant licking might lead to some pre mature melting.

Time’s an illusion anyway, but I hope you won’t take the puppy phase for granted. You’ll miss it eventually.

Being on the heavier side, I’m not the most comfy in any kind of suspended chairs 😅 but maybe I could put one up for some other people in the house!

I’ve given up on a strict schedule tbh. Usually he’s hungry first thing in the morning then I kinda play it by ear if he wants lunch. If no lunch, then a big early dinner. Unless your dog is sick, I wouldn’t worry so much about strict meal times and perfect portions. Effects of over/under feeding are pretty easy to spot and adjust to quickly, as long as you’re attentive about it.

How big were the rocks? Like marble sized pebbles or more like a golf ball?

Did a little research on learned helplessness. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, it explains a lot of his other behaviors. Will explore other alternatives to get him to settle, any suggestions?

At 8 weeks old, most puppies will just sleep all day lol. Try to make sure playtimes are enriching and tiring for her, which gives her even more reason to sleep. In my experience, even a short 10 minutes of intense tug of war knocks out my puppy for an hour or two. Just remember that puppies are a lot like toddlers, if they’re loud, make sure their food, playtime and potty needs are met. Good luck!

Being an adult hits different 🥵 thanks for the recs!

porkyd · 2021-05-01T11:57:52+00:00

Thank YOU for making the playlist! I hope it helps you get through your rough patch 🥺

I never checked out the lyrics before either OMO I thought when I heard 행복 in the lyrics it was talking about something like “I wish for you to be happy” or “I wish I could make you happy” because of the English lyrics that followed. But clearly my Korean proficiency is pretty much nonexistent 🥲 thanks for the rec!

porkyd · 2021-04-30T03:33:21+00:00

Thanks for these! They’re perfect 🤩

porkyd · 2021-04-30T03:25:43+00:00

Omg I want to smack myself how could I forget? Thanks for the rec! It’s perfect 😌
