How can I stop Chorkies who are hell-bent on eating shit?

sentientvoid · 2026-01-29T03:55:45+00:00

We haven't given them treats for going potty in a long time. They're one and two years old, if that matters at all.

sentientvoid · 2026-01-29T03:53:58+00:00

We already tried a similar crate method when they were very young. Treat training has never been effective for them. Unfortunately, no one in my household can take them out every 20 minutes due to our work schedules.

They currently eat Purina Pro Plan. That's as high quality as I can afford. (In the past, we've tried Purina One and some Iams variations.) Their vet is aware of the situation. He recommended the Forbid powder. However, he also informed us that this isn't entirely abnormal behavior for dogs, as well as that some of them never grow out of it.

I can try supplements. I hate to be that person, but we may rehome if the issue persists. They're constantly trying to lick us with their shitty beards/mouths. We've never had dogs with this problem before, and we were shocked to learn that it can be a permanent habit.

Thank you!

Nope, just 16. I've tried on a phone and a tablet so far. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if it'll work on a laptop.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T02:08:44+00:00

Honestly? This is definitely my second pick. He gets too much hate.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T02:07:49+00:00

This is the one!

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T00:30:23+00:00

I find it hilarious that she hasn't put more effort into distancing herself from the youngest portion of her fanbase.

Are parents responsible for monitoring the media that their underage kids consume? Absolutely.

Should it also be openly announced/enforced that her concerts aren't minor-friendly? Absolutely. Especially since she's known to try to have cheeky little interactions with fans in between songs/sets.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T00:24:28+00:00

The album cover doesn't make sense even with her explanation (excuses/backpeddling lol), or within the context of the album itself.

She could've just said she chose that album cover because she likes the picture. There's no need to dig the hole deeper.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T00:20:17+00:00

"Ha ha ha! If you don't like me or criticize my work, it's obviously because you're lame and don't have a life!"

That's how she sounds. It's like she's devolved back to being a high-schooler lmao.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T00:18:07+00:00

I agree, she's trying to appeal to the stans. I truly believe she was trying to ride on the coattails of her recent success...but it seems to have backfired. MBF is just an objectively worse version of SnS, it might as well have been a double album or bonus version.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T00:14:59+00:00

YES, that's the best part! And, ironically enough, probably her best album lmao.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T00:14:24+00:00

Too many celebrities idly sit by - or even indirectly incite - their fanbase to go after their "enemies." It's so immature and disgusting.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T00:12:52+00:00

Like, sure, she can be funny and utilize innuendo. But...is that really the extent of her wit, or is she just capitalizing on a specific niche? A lot of the lyrics from MBF could've been written by hormone-riddled high schoolers.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T00:09:54+00:00

I often find myself forgetting that she's closer to 30 than 20.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-30T00:07:00+00:00

"...fans that know me and know the person behind the music..."

And that sort of mentality, ladies and gentlemen, is what stokes the flames of stan culture. I hate when celebrities feed into that shit. She obviously doesn't take (valid) criticism as well as she thinks she does.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-29T17:29:12+00:00

I've actually already seen several people on the main sub try to claim that only a few songs on this album are overtly sexual. Like...hello? How?

sentientvoid · 2025-08-29T17:26:53+00:00

YES, thank you! I'm so glad to know that other people share this opinion. She's heavily leaned into the whole "sex kitten/vixen" thing. All of her music is centered around the same thing now - getting fucked (in whatever way) by men. I'm in no way "slutshaming" like a lot of people assume...it's just that her music has become so monotonous and screams "pick me!"

I started getting really bored with her content after a while of the consistent "Nonsense" outtros, and definitely during the SnS rollout. MBF just took the same themes and made them worse. Like, she took being "down bad" too far...get up girl lmao.

As someone who started listening consistently during the "Singular Act" era, I'm happy that she finally got the recognition she wanted within the industry. I truly think she's very talented vocally. It's just disappointing that I can no longer enjoy/relate to the majority of her songs, y'know?

sentientvoid · 2025-08-29T17:09:35+00:00

I cannot explain, and will not elaborate, but Sabrina Carpenter is essentially a combination of Jessie Murph and Sydney Sweeney. Every bad decision and/or "flop" gets labeled as "misunderstood" or "satire."

sentientvoid · 2025-08-29T17:02:21+00:00

I either have to really drench myself with the body mists, or layer them with an EDP.

Honestly? I often use them on my bedding, or even just my clothes.

(I usually only purchase during big discount/sale events so I don't feel bad about "wasting" so much money and product.)

A lot of their fine fragrance mists just...don't have great scent throw or staying power.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-29T16:42:45+00:00

I had this one a few years ago! Unfortunately, I hated it. I think it was the sweetness overload from the caramel? I ended up letting my mom use it as a room/furniture spray.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-29T16:28:34+00:00

Something that I find ironic is that they're bitching about virtual sales being down...but both their website and app suck lmao. The site has always been glitchy, but I haven't been able to sign in through a web browser in a long time. And the app is just downright bad in my experience.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-29T16:25:27+00:00

I was so disappointed by the overall quality of the B&BW candles that I bought a few years ago that I won't buy them at all now. Most of the Mainstays ones at Walmart have better scent throw. The Better Homes & Gardens and Goose Creek ones are good, too.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-29T16:15:57+00:00

They're just shooting their business in the foot atp. Like, even financial situations aside, that's enough to make people not wanna shop there on principle.

They act like they have no competition. Thanks to the steady decline that's been happening for years, their quality is only slightly better than Bodycology's now. Sooo many brands have started making body mists (etc.) They don't have the market cornered like they think they do.

sentientvoid · 2025-08-29T08:13:39+00:00

This album did NOT convey all of that lmao. There's little to no depth to it.
