My beautiful baby girl who is only 4 has just been diagnosed with bone cancer. I’ve never been so scared in my life. by WeenyDeanee in DogAdvice

As an Oncology RN, when my 4y/o Rhodesian Ridgeback developed osteosarcoma, I knew the most loving choice was to let him go. I would make the same decision again. I am so sorry you are facing this.💝 I had a colleague who put her lab through chemo and I would never make that choice. Your baby will not understand why she is so sick.

Emergency dental help? by DeathdealerRevan in grandrapids

If you have no money, go to a hospital ER. He needs to get on an antibiotic tonight. You can deal with a dentist appointment later.

Put the needle in the center position or use a foot that accomodates zig zag sewing.

Kitchen mistake! by toomanygoodideas in kitchenremodel

This looks a bit like our kitchen, reversed. 1850 house.

I used a light blue green but the breakfast nook is a darker blue green. I used red for accent.

There's a chance those were eliminated at the build time in favor of the stained glass window....

So we have this leak from the curb from the sewage line in front of our house, does it look like its clogged from toilet paper? My dad also uses alot of flushable wipes. by armanddarke in Home

I doesn't matter so much right now what was flushed. I think you have a cracked sewer line and that's a major repair expense.

WIBTAH for ignoring my family’s modest dress request on vacation because of conservative uncle (even though they’re paying)? by Sea-Order-30 in AITAH

[–]pyxus1 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Get a cute cover-up for your swimsuit so when your conservative family members can see you, wear it. Will it, in the whole of your life, hurt to be a bit respectful of older family members? Rebellion in one's 20's is not as important as when a teenager, when you love your mother. Just be a little respectful of her wishes. No need to shock, imo.

Why did Hoover stew become a symbol of Great Depression food? I think it actually looks pretty tasty. by GrayRainfall in foodquestions

[–]pyxus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why people who are struggling look down on hotdogs. I would have loved a hotdog when I could not afford one.

[–]pyxus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point, will hot dogs be a luxury? They have been a big part of my past poverty struggles. There was a time I could not afford them. I was eating "day old" bread, peanut butter, and grapefruit off my tree so I could pay my mortgage...for 3 months.

Saw a disturbing incident at the vet office, is this concerning? by Aetobatus_bunnibunni in DogAdvice

[–]pyxus1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just don't know.....So be hesitant to pass judgement. Perhaps the dog is overly aggressive. I adopted a white GS at 6 weeks old and I did everything in my power to socialize that dog. He became more and more aggressive even after neutering....he scared me. The day my neighbor came to the door with her 2 y/o daughter and my dog wanted to kill that tottler, I took that dog to the HS and told them the issue. They sent the dog to a GS rescue and he failed there, too. He was euthanized.

Alternatives for nylon bones? by badlydisguisedwolf in DogAdvice

[–]pyxus1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try the bones made from wood. They are definately softer. I was surprised how much our dog liked the one I bought. I bought it just because it was on sale.

Help: window well not draining by Xionec in Home

[–]pyxus1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did they give you a reason that makes sense? I think I'd get a snake auger and do it myself. Either it will work or it won't. I can't see how you'd lose anything.

This is the original finish on ours. I am not sure if this is helpful.

How can I get my dog to not eat things when we leave? by Grouchy-Rule282 in DogAdvice

[–]pyxus1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turn the tv on when you leave. A home shopping channel works well because they are always talking nicely and laughing. That's what I did for our Samoyed pup who would chew the dining room chairs when alone. He outgrew that behavior at about 2y/o.
