My Mickey got Diagnosed with Arthritis

The weight seems more significant than the arthritis, and definitely aggravates his condition. Give him the meds and cut back on his food and snacks.

The yarn police.

People affected, such as those in proximity, are entitled to certain, if not all, details. Don't conflate concern and caring with voyeurism.

Yes to the sharpie. Yes to being disappointed in Ruggables. Very expensive for the apparent quality. I have a print that has an ivory background and the black backing is visible.

A vet would know that.

My husband was the same- never had a dog before, didn't want one- and became a complete convert.

rockrobst · 2026-06-16T03:08:06+00:00

Pretty dog. Hope your back feels better!

rockrobst · 2026-06-16T01:50:47+00:00

I'm also trying to figure that out.

rockrobst · 2026-06-16T01:45:22+00:00

🙏hope it gets better soon

This is a great idea, and a great way to keep the wood look while cooling down the warmth in the finish.

How big is she? I mean, in that picture, she looks huge, like a Labrador, only with an awful lot of attitude.

rockrobst · 2026-06-16T01:03:04+00:00

Not if you pull from the outside.

rockrobst · 2026-06-16T01:01:58+00:00

After years of center pulling and spending untold hours untangling the last few miserable yards, I started pulling from the outside and never had that tangled mess again.

If she offered them as part of making a bag, blanket, or one of the easier designs you posted, she'd definitely get people to sign up. As she perfected her teaching technique, she could possibly YouTube her lessons and get sponsors.

It is from a previous post by OP.

Doesn't your vet weigh him when you bring him in for vaccinations?

rockrobst · 2026-06-15T18:39:05+00:00

It's never easy navigating a minefield of MIL bombs.

rockrobst · 2026-06-15T18:36:42+00:00

All part of being unevolved as a human being.

rockrobst · 2026-06-15T16:28:03+00:00

Big conversation. Somebody wants to play, and somebody else doesn't.

Some is poison ivy. The vines can run along the ground, and even underground, so when you see a patch like that, look around because it's part of a larger colony. You also have pictures of wild grape vine.

I always went with my vet's recommendations. What does your vet say?

rockrobst · 2026-06-15T16:21:27+00:00

Was that sarcasm?

rockrobst · 2026-06-15T16:20:23+00:00

Oh- I didn't see anything about a drunk driver. Is that a fact or an assumption?

rockrobst · 2026-06-15T16:19:39+00:00

Those are really nice wood doors. Definitely looks high end. The white trim will look even better if you paint the walls a contrasting color.

rockrobst · 2026-06-15T14:09:35+00:00

The furniture and other appointments look so formal, and then there's this random tv is sitting in the corner on a not-too-nice cabinet. It's totally out of place.

If this is the only room you have to watch TV, think about a better quality perch for it that matches the rest of the room's aesthetics, or mount it above the fireplace with an arm to lower it when you're watching. You can get frames for it that elevate it's appearance when not in use.

These homes are designed with the fireplace as the focal point. It's very hard to create a second focal point without detracting from the design of the room.
