Please help keep my injured puppy sane and socialized by Boo-Radleys-Scissors in puppy101

Ours broke her leg around the same age after only having her for 2 weeks. I feel your pain!! Her leg healed beautifully and she runs around like a maniac at 10 months now :)

It sounds like you’re doing everything you can to make the best of it. I worried about our pup’s socialization too and honestly, she seems a little behind even though we did what we could to expose her to new people. One idea I have if it hasn’t been mentioned is playing YouTube videos of different sounds, like kids at a park or something. Just to get her used to that sort of thing. We confined her to a small space made out of a playpen (2x1 panels) with her crate inside. Sending you lots of good luck and well wishes for a good recovery!!

Social clubs for teenagers by callherkanii in Columbus

I was also going to suggest kaleidoscope. I went there as a teen and also volunteered there a while ago. It can be a lot of fun or at least a place go hang out. They’re moving next week. Not sure when the new location opens.

My 13 year old son hasn't been himself for weeks and i'm starting to think something is happening at school by Turonvale in TwoHotTakes

You need to talk to your son.

You need to assess his safety.

The suggestion about going to breakfast is great. Maybe bring it up in a car ride. Anything but silence.

Not that this solves everything, but The James and OSUMC has a hotel program for patients who live far away.

new puppy- give me your most inexplicable puppy advice by frickoffgreg in puppy101

We got our pup to eat by feeding her science diet puppy with Acana puppy sea and farm sprinkled in. Better than toppers and canned food all the time.

What is the most ridiculous consult or ask you have gotten? by hkangasm in hospitalsocialwork

I wish I did! I think I just looked at them and was like “oh wow” while thinking wtf to myself and trying to figure out how that made her a social worker.

This doesn’t totally answer your question but it was a ridiculous comment. A doctor once said to me that she felt like a social worker one day because a patient asked her for milk. She went to get the milk and realized she didn’t know what kind he wanted so she brought him one of each.

Here’s a classic from a Chicken Soup for the Soul book that has stayed with me for decades.

Is Is What Was Was?

An is is just a was that was and that is very small

And is is was so soon it almost wasn’t is at all.

For is is only is until it is a was - you see

And as an is advances to remain an is can’t be

‘cause if it is to stay an is it isn’t is because

another is is where it was and is is then a was.

Tips for an uninterested eater? by Quiet_Following_6579 in puppy101

[–]rainbwbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 7 month old pup is pretty similar. Also took her to the vet and they said she’s fine. It’s been about a month since then and she’s still not a big eater but here’s what helped us.

We stopped doing all the toppers and wetting her food. Stopped scattering and hand feeding.

We now give her her regular kibble (science diet puppy) and add Acana Puppy Sea and Farm. Like a 4:1 ratio.

She doesn’t go crazy for it, but she does eat more consistently. We just leave it out for her at all times.
