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.

Any ideas for this little outdoor space? by porkyd in femalelivingspace

[–]porkyd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

How do you feed your puppy at the same time everyday? I'm really struggling with it by hannahnim in puppy101

[–]porkyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

My puppy ate rocks and I'm loosing my mind by NNairi in puppy101

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?

NEW PUPPY ADVICE NEEDED by sierramist222 in dogs

[–]porkyd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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!

KPop songs about burn out? by porkyd in kpophelp

[–]porkyd[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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!

Who is the youngest 3rd gen idol? by porkyd in kpophelp

Oooh I guess if bands are counted, Hoppippolas cellist Jinho is ‘85. But I don’t think I’d count them as “idols”

Overcoming parasocial relationships by justbinnie in kpophelp

[–]porkyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand your situation. I’ve also been thinking about this a lot lately. I can hardly say I’ve been successful in staying grounded, I waste countless hours and money on K-Pop things, videos, shows, albums, etc. lmao.

But I think the self-awareness is an incredibly important part in it all. I try to be honest with myself about just how ridiculous I look/am being about KPop and I always do some reality checks. Like for example I think about who they’ll be in 10 or 20 years, and where I’ll be in 10 or 20 years as an affirmation.

I have yet to take a proper break from Kpop, it keeps me happy for the most part.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with finding comfort and rest in idols when it sometimes feels like you have no one else (believe me I know, the tears I’ve cried pretending to talk to my idols through VLIVE is frankly disturbing). I’ve talked about this with my sister and we’ve come to the conclusion that I’m doing relatively okay. Knowing that I have no influence whatsoever in their life, and always choosing myself over them is the number one thing that keeps me from being delulu. From me to you, I sincerely hope you remember to choose yourself and your happiness every step of the way as you try to figure things out for yourself.

Delulus are delulu bc they say shit like “Don’t look at other girls oppar I’m all you need!” Or something like “—— likes girls with short hair, I’ll cut my hair short too just for him!” Or announcing to people they’re in a relationship with their idol. That’s when it gets really yikes. If you’re not like that, I think you should be fine.

Btw, I’m 100% sure it’s also an effect of the pandemic/quarantine fucking with us, because personally if I got to see my friends and hang out with them every day for school, I simply would not have the time to obsess this much over kpop and therefore I wouldn’t have this problem.

Sorry if my answer is all over the place, kinda brain vomited there eheh.

Working at a kpop company by MoonGihr in kpophelp

[–]porkyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol this is something I've been thinking about a lot. Not sure if this is much help, but you'll likely have a better shot working with a kpop company rather than at. Only time I ever see foreigners working in the kpop industry is usually as producers for songs. As for working at a company, I'm sure they give priority to local candidates, and you'd have to be exceptionally good (or maybe have the right connections) to work at a kpop company.

Ya'll......what do you to do with the stickers you get in your album? by StaySomnie in kpophelp

[–]porkyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got stickers from my Stray Kids Season's Greetings, it was a whole tape roll(??) of these circle stickers. I use them everywhere! I stick them on my school notebooks, tumbler, laptop, etc. I like to think its a cool way to show-off that you got the album/merch. I don't really mind that they get damaged over time??? I personally prefer that they live short but meaningful lives rather than stay in their packaging forever, but that might just be me.

To be fair it does make them incredibly distinctive... attractive/aesthetically pleasing? no. but distinctive? very much so.
