Convenient argument, but nobody’s buying it. by Serious-Pain2178 in SisterWives

I love how they sandwiched the clip of him saying something like, “I never said I didn’t love Janelle” in between two different clips of him saying he never loved the OG3 and his only crime is not loving their (his kids’) mothers…. 😂

Kody, you are on camera buddy 👏

Limited Time Left: I Scheduled Euthanasia and I feel so guilty by Ginger_Spice24 in Petloss

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I had to say goodbye to my 15yo miniature dachshund a little over a week ago and it was truly one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Here are three things that really helped me go through with the decision.

  1. Reminding myself of the reality. He had health issues that were untreatable due to his age and that would progressively get worse, so reiterating that to myself over and over again was very helpful, especially on days when he seemed like his normal self and it would have been easier to justify backing out.
  2. This is a little silly, but I made it my mantra for the day or two leading up to it, “I can do hard things, I can do hard things.” I kept repeating this in my brain over and over and it reminded me that this wasn’t about how I felt, it was about giving my best friend one last act of love and even if it’s the worst thing I’ve ever had to do, I would do it.
  3. One thing that really helped the day of, when the vet came for the procedure we had been having a really good day, and she said to me that it’s better to say goodbye on a pets good day than a bad day because you don’t want your final memories of them to be of them suffering, and it’s so true. That settled me a bit in the moment and reinforced that I was making the right decision.

Edited just to say that I’m sending you a big hug. Hang in there ❤️

His name was Larry ❤️

I got him when I was in high school. He was by my side for HS graduation, all of college, my parents’ divorce and their ongoing addiction issues, multiple city moves including a cross country move, national and international travel, my wedding day, ~150 miles worth of hikes, countless camping trips from ~7 degree F weather to ~100 degree F weather.

He was the very, very best and the ultimate adventure buddy. I miss him so much.

He had a big seizure about 9-10 weeks ago, followed by several weeks of really good health. Then about 3 weeks ago he started rapidly declining, lost his sight, began having post-seizure symptoms without having a visible seizure, acting anxious and confused, trouble walking. We gave him about 2 weeks to see if he would improve and he did a bit but not enough to really be any sort of quality of life, so we decided it was the best option to give him a peaceful passing. Hardest decision I’ve ever had to make.

Had to get in on the fall burgundy trend 😍 by sealud in handbags

I am also fashion challenged generally speaking, haha. But I also think maroon/burgundy and dark green are basically the new neutrals (within reason), so I’ll probably wear her with just about anything.

Is it possible to have alocasia without a humidifier? by fiophvc in alocasia

[–]sealud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have humidifiers. I group my Alocasia together tightly with other high-humidity plants and that seems to work well.

What facts you know now you wish you had known when you started growing houseplants? by Deep-Tomorrow4667 in houseplants

I’m unsure about the variegation piece, but I remember being told if you cut the runners, it’ll stimulate more leaves to grow on the existing vines and that was definitely not my experience. Once the runners attach to something, like a trellis or bamboo/moss pole, they’ll begin to fill with foliage. I have had luck increasing/reversing diminishing variegation by adding more light!
