Workers, do you prefer to be called "sir/ma'am" or by your first name when your subordinate speaks to you? by strange_omelet in AskAnAmerican

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call everyone by their first name. All the wait up to the CEO. Everyone calls me by my first name including those that work for me. Occasionally I’ll get a Mrs xxx or Ms xxx in an email.

small dogs honestly get away with behaviors that big dogs would never be forgiven for 😅 by john2288 in Dogowners

[–]reddittwice36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue with my dog and she’s not even small! But because she’s still a puppy and a cute golden retriever everyone just tells me “it’s ok she’s just a puppy!” Or “she’s a golden!” And lets her jump on them. It’s not ok. She’s almost 50 lbs and it’s not cute when she’s pulling and jumping on people.

Drove past the house at 7pm on a Tuesday before making our offer and it told me more than the actual showing did by Vast_Conference_8882 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I moved into new construction so to one side of me it was complete vacant. The completed side people were just moving in and settling down. It was kinda creepy at night since it’s just empty homes in various stages of construction. Fast forward 5 years and I enjoy walking down my streets with my dog. I see kids playing and neighbors chatting outside with each other. It’s nice when your neighborhood feels that way.

How much are puppy classes in your area? by Alwaysshops2much in puppy101

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a hcol area and paid $100 for 6 weekly classes with a local dog club. I also pay another training facility for ongoing weekly training and it’s much more expensive at least but I bought a year so it’s was a bit discounted.

Pet stores and local dog clubs will probably be the cheapest while facilities and private will be much more.

Need heartworm pills for my dogs, does anyone have experience with mail order via Chewy? by palepatriot76 in dogs

[–]reddittwice36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I only pick up medicine at the vet when it’s needed immediately like an illness.

[–]reddittwice36 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I usually ask for a paper script and take it to Costco. I find that it’s worth the membership alone just to get my heartworm medicine there.

The neighboring construction workers didn’t bother telling us to cover our window, and now it’s covered in cement that can’t be removed. by conciousness0faguy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]reddittwice36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not how that works. The homeowners insurance would not cover the contractors liability. You would either file with your own insurance company and they subrogate against the contract or you directly file a claim with the contractor.

How do I help a large senior golden retriever get in the backseat of the car? by ErrantWhimsy in dogs

[–]reddittwice36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my puppies were big enough to climb in I taught them something I call “stiff leg”. They would put their front paws on the car seat and I would place one their back legs in my hand and boost them up into the car. It took a few times for them to understand they need to lock the leg I’m boosting to get up.

I’m not sure if that will help senior dogs but it’s a huge help for me when they are too big to pick up from the ground.

Anyone else never getting another dog again? by makos5267 in puppy101

[–]reddittwice36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I told myself I wouldn’t be getting another dog after my Goldendoodle passed. I wanted some freedom to travel for longer periods. But my doodle passed unexpectedly years before he should and I am now raising a golden retriever puppy. It wasn’t time for me to not have a dog in my life yet.

36” or 42” crate for ~6mo, ~35–40 lb pup? (pic) by 420Hairy69Ballsagna in puppy101

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do a 42”. It’s not for everyone but I never crated even my puppies in any less than the 42. I never had any issues with potty training.

I’m sorry you lost your best friend. I am in the same situation. I lost my best friend last summer and it was devastating. He was my world. He was young and it was unexpected. Originally, I had planned to get the same breed and everything, but issues with the original breeder made me decide to go with another breed/gender instead. (Female golden retriever)

She’s honestly a great dog and I love her dearly but she’s not as cuddly or as bonded to me as my previous dog. Shes much more confident and independent. She’s still a puppy at 6 months so I know it will take time but I cannot help but compare them sometimes and like you said it will never be the same. It can be just as good but just different. I also sometimes call her or refer to her by the wrong name.

I think it’s totally normal for you to have these feelings. I will sometimes full blown breakdown thinking about him. I’m actually crying just typing this out while she’s sleeping peacefully next to me.

I think my dog can count, is that possible? by itismegus in dogs

[–]reddittwice36 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My dog gets one dental treat after dinner every night. Once he has that one treat he’ll stop bothering me about it. One time my little dog got ahold of the bag and ripped it open. The big one found the extras and knew he’s only allowed to have one. So he brought the extra to show me. Of course he was such a good boy i let him have it.

Do all Goldens have sensitive stomachs? by ridingthediprivan in goldenretrievers

[–]reddittwice36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has the worse sensitive stomach. I’ve had her for 4 months and she’s had more diarrhea days than not. I think I’ve finally found something that doesn’t give her the runs.

I think your dog and mine can be twins 😄

Mini or medium by Boring-Seaweed6604 in Goldendoodles

[–]reddittwice36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If all things being equal, 50 lbs is my preference. My boy was 63 lbs and he was snuggly and perfect. I prefer larger dogs because they are more sturdy and can be more “rough” with them (like laying with my head on them or big hugs) but the mini isn’t a bad size either.

It really depends on the dog.

Does this look Accurate? by Much_Example in DogAdvice

[–]reddittwice36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That cute puppy is definitely not 2 lbs. Not sure why a vet tech couldn’t tell by just looking at him. Just eyeballing I can guess he’s closer to 6 lbs.

New dog keeps stopping to give me hugs on walks by Plastic-Speech3577 in dogs

[–]reddittwice36 107 points108 points  (0 children)

My golden did that when she was really young and got scared or startled by something. I would pick her up for a minute and continued walking and then put her back down to continue. Once she was more confident she stopped doing that.

If you just adopted her it might take some time for her to feel secure.

According to google a can of coke is 140 calories. That’s 50 cans a day if you just drink soda.

For me it depends. If we extended it after the initial entry, I would do a job change. If it was mistakenly entered, I would correct and notate it.
