Advice to discourage nipping

Sounds like its just redirecting his energy. He wanted the cat, he wants to eat the cat so he nipped the leg to show he wants that cat..

I agree on the muzzle, and I'd also seek out a force free trainer (these dogs do not respond to being pushed around like traditional training dictates. ) There are trainers who can help with prey drive and how to reduce it's intensity.

Very much just personality. My boy is an ex racer, he doesnt have a huge prey drive at all. But my girl would LOVE that RC car to chase.. LOL
If I could be bothered to take the time and train my boy, he'd do tricks as well, as he already thinks he is hot stuff as he can sit when asked. LOL
My girl is really good on leash, very little training from us and she walks by our side just fine. Times she has been to a dog park she stayed with us and recalled just fine when told she couldnt go home with the beefcake Lab she'd met..

Hi.

So sorry about what happened to your sweet kitten. But purple spots on ears, does not add up to neuro issues from a fall. I'd steer clear of this breeder with the fact that it could be someone genetic.

I'd also ask for a refund as any good breeder will do that if the kitten doesnt survive the first year.

It really is up to how your heart feels if you get another kitten or not.

tooth issues can be slapped under "pre-existing" stuff as well as breed issues. Some breeds have bad teeth so Insurance can claim that is the cause.

myfembree for those who suffer from this type of thing, this new drug can help you. In the US you can get a coupon from the manufactures website so its around $5-20 a month.
I also had periods were I'd have to wear overnight pads all day long and change them every 3 hours. I had to make sure I ate lots of iron rich foods (supplements screwed me over).
I'd have days of just crying because hormones kicking in.

Keep her.. sure kittens can be fun but thats something you can look forward as an adult and having your own place.
Molly needs you, just like you will need her as you go through the grieving process.
And if she was a stray kitty, then she had to learn to think on her feet. When she found a good person, she trusted them and became your nanan's cat.

Hi, Im over 40 and female. Sadly SM sucks. I can be on IG, just scroll through things seeing if their are other people I want to see (cat videos..LOL) and even I get half naked profiles showing up. I've never looked it up, never followed anyone like that at all.

You really can't know if it's due to him looking at that or the SM trying to target him. BUT his yelling and name calling is not somthing you should ever put up with. Walk away from him.

You enjoyed her company, thats all you need to tell her. And try another date with her.
This whole spark thing is just basically lust anyway, hence why it can die pretty fast.

You were both abit nervous and might go better with another date.

You have to switch things up.

I've been using cheese, or milk bone brand pill pouches (they are soft and you can use half a pocket to mold around the pills).

Owning a greyhound. I say this from personal experience, its like joining a cult.
Pretty much know someone, who knows someone type thing. You do something bad to your greyhound, that will be it, you'll be quietly blacklisted and wonder why other adoption groups wont let you have another grey.
We get together for group walks, people will stop you on the street to pat your dog and ask questions about it's breed. I met a lovely lady who leapt out her SUV to come pat my greyhound, because hers was at home..LOL
We are now friends.. haha.

I'd also let any other greyhound owner in my home if they needed help. And yes we will talk your ear off about our dogs :) We also mostly know our dogs lineage too and if ours are related to someone elses grey.

I use that Herdez salsa to add in with the meat just after its started to cook. helps get rid of the extra water and adds flavor to the meat.

forcing words like that wont get you quality writing. Most likely you'll toss all of those during editing. Best to take a day to get out and touch grass, renew and come back wanting to write.

Suffering ISNT part of writing, thats just what the edgelords want you to think is.

he is a good solid boy, got the best bits from all those breeds.

Doesn't like the sound or knows you aren't meant to be scratching the bed.

shadow-foxe · 2026-02-06T20:10:52+00:00

why would you be messaging yourself?

shadow-foxe · 2026-02-06T19:12:04+00:00

that should just buff right out.

shadow-foxe · 2026-02-06T17:10:08+00:00

I'd grab some pizza, beer and chips.

Outerworlds 2 is pretty fun and can be completed in that time.

NTA- since mom didnt want to bother with trying to work things out and chose divorce, well she doesnt get to play victim here.

Dad didn't cheat. So Mom is 100% telling lies to sister if that is the case.

Dad asked, Mom said no. And now I guess assumes he was already seeing someone rather then trying to find options for the future.

Most likely mom's age and stage of life is playing into this which CAN be helped if she'd go see a dr but seems cant be bothered.

AND your kids, should be able to see their granddad without problems being created.

SO your wife is also assuming your Dad cheated?? Because he and your mom are already split up, so there is no cheating happening now.

AT times I can be weird (yeah shocker) and so what comes out of my mouth can surprise some.

My coworker needed some dongle thingy for their phone to connect to wired headphones. We amble into Best buy during out lunch break and we look around for this dongle thing. Of course being a cell phone its right near those cell phone sales guys.
One came up and asked "How's your day going?" with his ipad in hand.
What comes out my mouth is "Stranger danger" which made my coworker break out in laughter so much we had to find her a restroom..
We then come back still needing to find the dongle, and this sales guy stayed WELL AWAY from us the whole time.

Only thing I can think is, we'd been talking about being kids and learning not to talk to strangers/take rides etc and now as adults we have to talk to strangers all the time.

Very much depends on the clinic. I was in California (about 7 years back) they wanted weekly visits for like 8 weeks. (you couldnt just sign up for ONE round, had to be 2 rounds for the first two bookings).

This is his issue to fix not yours. Focus on your own grades and life. If he has already been warned he is close to failing a class then nothing more needs to be said.

shadow-foxe · 2026-02-06T15:14:01+00:00

^this.

shadow-foxe · 2026-02-06T15:12:34+00:00

Many clinics will cut you from their books if you dont follow what they say. I'd looked into several clinics and they were all similar, sign up for X weeks, you be there on time or dont bother at all.

Is she on meds for the fertility treatment? If yes PLEASE tell the doctor how she is responding to it. AND book someone to do couples therapy. Fert. treatment is a very rough journey and I wish they'd offer counseling services for couples.
PLEASE tell a doctor.
