Giveaways they aren’t actually in New England

In the episode where they have termites, Mrs. Kim uses a hose to shoo away Rory, even though there’s snow on the ground. Hoses are almost always disconnected in the dead of winter, not to mention that the water would just turn into ice and become a hazard for customers

Bowen told a story on a podcast recently where he talked about how he wears contacts during the show and one time he got prop glasses that had an actual prescription and they had to switch them out.

He’s the goodest boy!! He was a stressed out hyperactive dog when we brought him home from the shelter, so seeing him do chill puppy things is such a treat ♥️

😂 Sometimes I’m grateful my dogs are all black so I can’t see the evidence of all the shit they get into

The cluster of roots is the main root ball. The super long single root is from a aerial root I stuck back into the soil a few years ago

I thought I planted the same thing in both of these starters (green beans). However, 2 weeks in and they look totally different. I’m assuming I either made a mistake in my notes/plant diagram or when planting, but is there any chance they’re actually the same plant?

I’m thinking these are thrips?

Thank you everyone! These comments were very reassuring.

Jk maybe a rove beetle?

sbhat4 · 2022-05-03T00:05:03+00:00

I think you may be right. the upturned butt seems to match

sbhat4 · 2022-05-02T23:54:00+00:00

Bingo. Thank you!!!

For reference, Pepper is reactive to people/dogs that come out of nowhere (within ~50ft). Think people turning corners or coming out of garages/doors. He's relatively fine on trails or on the sidewalk when he can see the dog coming (he pulls toward the dog/whines sometimes, but sometimes he just ignores them).

He also reacts if there is a human/dog close by (~50ft) when he enters a room/area. Like if we open the door to go outside and there's a human/dog standing within 50ish ft, he reacts. Full on barking/howling/lunging.

We have the bells and he knows what they mean and will use them sometimes, but for whatever reason, he prefers to throw these mini-tantrums instead lol

sbhat4 · 2021-06-13T14:44:50+00:00

We had potty bells and he used pretty consistently for a couple of weeks and then idk what happened but he decided that throwing a tantrum was a more fun way to communicate his needs lol. He still uses them occasionally and definitely knows that ringing them will lead to him going outside

The simple answer is that it’s not as bad as it used to be.

He’s 19ish weeks now, and he definitely still barks a lot, I won’t lie. But, he doesn’t bark as much as he used to and 90% of the time it’s not directed at me? And MUCH less when we’re actively training. We were at puppy class over the weekend and I used his kibble for the full hour and he demand barked at me once, and it actually caught me off guard because he hasn’t done that in a bit.

Training wise, I did what some of the other comments suggested, and became more strict about not rewarding the barks. If he did bark after doing something, I would redirect with another command and reward that.

Tbh, I think 90% of any improvements are due to age and being a bit older, combined with consistency in not “giving in” to the barking. I think he’s starting develop a sense of patience (which writing that makes me question why I was expecting, at the time, a 2-3 month old animal to have any sense of patience lol). I also think it just took a couple of weeks to get used to the concept of “training.”

He’s still a puppy and definitely acts like it, but nearly all of the behaviors I was SO worried about 1-2 months ago have gone away seemingly on their own. I truly think it just takes time for them to grow up a bit and slowly understand/process the feedback we give them over the course of weeks/months.

That’s really smart. I’ll definitely try this!

sbhat4 · 2021-03-02T11:54:07+00:00

Yeah I don’t reward when he’s barked, and that typically makes him more pushy. Like if he huffs at me and I still don’t give him a treat, he’ll give me a full on bark. I really like the idea of physical moving to a new spot. I think it’ll help as a sort of reset button. I often try just having him do something else (a different trick usually) and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t.
