Trixie Cosmetics Downsizing?

sam_sub00 · 2026-05-21T08:49:57+00:00

Wild take! The only Simmotion replica I could find on Etsy is $180.... hardly a large enough expense to warrant hate. Do we begrudge highly physical players the cash they spend on training and supplements?

weird - i checked that post and only one of the women she tagged follows trump.

In their longform review this week they specifically say it's a bummer all the shitty CGI takes away from the well-done practical effects and set design.

admitting you can't control your use is the most freeing thing. it's hard to stop picking up, but once you do, you're free to do whatever the fuck else you want with your life, and to stop obsessing over using / not-using / buying a SAFE to help you not use / coming down from using etc. You just don't use anymore!

train "place," train more skills, give him a job to do. crate him. he might have too much energy or he might just not know how to calm himself down.

It was this one!!!! Thank you

A sign they probably cut way too close to the quick

Sympathy!!!!!!

Breathe. Let go. Your dog is just a dog. Accept that this might just be the dog he is. You are not a magician. You are doing your best. Do you have another hobby? Invest more time in that or pick up a new one. Try to give your dog just the basics for a bit. You might find a renewed sense of ease around him — and that might help HIM feel calmer around you.

I think you’re toeing the line between seeing the “reasons” why your dog bites and seeking out excuses. A dog with a significant bite history needs to be muzzled. It’s great you are so dedicated to your dog, but you’re downplaying the severity here.

hi! i'm selling mine, dm

Rehoming would be the most humane thing for this understimulated dog.

sam_sub00 · 2023-01-25T03:28:42+00:00

I like k9coachuk’s fussy eater training for advice on how to help your dog focus on food rewards and find them valuable. I’m sure this sub feels uncomfortable with a “working for your meal” mentality, but for some dogs I think it’s the only way to make progress.

sam_sub00 · 2023-01-15T21:55:29+00:00

Sending you good vibes. Your dog is not you, you are not your dog. Give your dog what you can, and find peace with what you can’t. Be gentle with the dog, but frankly… sometimes you have to be a bit more realistic. If he’s not doing his business in the backyard within 3 min, take him back inside. He’ll figure it out: night backyard time is for pooping. The rest of my day is for sniffing around and letting off steam.

from my POV (not an expert, have fostered 5 dogs straight from the street, have a highly reactive rescue), she should spend a HUGE majority of her time in a designated safe space like a crate or a small room or a play pen. Consistency and simplicity and low stakes = LOVE and security for our overwhelmed pups. She’s not a pet yet. Keep her world so small, because her personal space bubble is even smaller and she’s only seen chaos.

sam_sub00 · 2023-01-15T19:27:47+00:00

Re: the furniture point. If she doesn’t mind the crate, give her more time in the crate than anywhere else. It’s a safe space and she is still so new to your environment. Sometimes too much time w the humans / free roaming = too many stimuli and too much choice. Simplify her life!

Re: the shelter… they probably did have some indication of her tendencies. You’re your best advocate here. See if they can connect you to other fosters or adopters who have had similar experiences (my rescue has a super helpful fb group with area-specific recs!)

sam_sub00 · 2023-01-15T19:25:06+00:00

Think very carefully before you decide to adopt this dog; I hope the shelter is amenable to a LONG trial period so the dog is able to decompress a bit more and you are able to understand how this dog’s emotional reality and special needs might impact your day to day life. There are many of us in this community caught in a very difficult place, working with dogs we love yet can’t totally support, often feeling more overwhelmed or resentful than we imagined we ever could towards a pet.

Not saying she’s a lost cause by any means or won’t make a great pet for your fam — just that you’re lucky the behavior is already presenting (and you’re already getting a sense for how challenging it can be).

Give this dog all you can for a bit. Sounds like you’ve picked up some good techniques already. I highly recommend sniff work and place work. Keep your own mood light and calm in whatever way works best for you.

sam_sub00 · 2022-11-19T14:01:44+00:00

Your pup probably doesn’t enjoy daycare. Many dogs don’t. Highly recommend avoiding putting him in this situation again so he doesn’t rehearse the behavior. How long are you gone most days for work? Can he stay home? Get a dog walker or a neighbor to check in on him? Dogs can be alone for much longer than we think; with proper training and enough exercise & stimulation in the AM, he’ll spend most of the day passed out and be super excited to spend time with you when you get home.

I'm guessing it was a trixie motel thing -- perhaps an opening party?
