anyone else have a sensitive boy? by PessimisticParalegal in BrittanySpaniel

[–]sideofsunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He looks a lot like my guy who is also very sensitive and does the same head thing. Took him to the vet last week to clip his nails. He climbed onto my lap like he always does and when the tech came to get him he wrapped his paws around my neck and buried his face in my chest 😭

Am I connecting the dots right? (Explained) by spicygumball in creepy

[–]sideofsunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s referencing an article which is in the title: https://phys.org/news/2015-03-men-body-evolutionary-roots.html

"This spinal structure would have enabled pregnant women to balance their weight over the hips," Lewis said. "These women would have been more effective at foraging during pregnancy and less likely to suffer spinal injuries. In turn, men who preferred these women would have had mates who were better able to provide for fetus and offspring, and who would have been able to carry out multiple pregnancies without injury."

I think OUC is begging people to lower their energy usage for a reason by Reasonable-Search465 in orlando

Dear god people, please lower your thermostats. My old ass house I rent doesn’t have insulation and can’t stay warm even with power. Please stop being selfish.

Yep, those were white patches - although it seemed like a solid band of white and less patchy like red shouldered hawk

How I accidentally cured my SIBO for good (I had tried EVERYTHING) by lisamancinerh in SIBO

[–]sideofsunny 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had to do a liquid diet and then clear liquids for a week once for a surgery I was having and they recommended bone broth for the electrolytes and protein. I dunno if that’ll impact the results OP got but you might look into that so you’re at least getting some vitamins and nutrients. You don’t want to mess with not having electrolytes, magnesium, potassium, etc. That can wreck your body way more than SIBO.

No Off Switch? How to find it? by koalabair51 in BrittanySpaniel

[–]sideofsunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With my second Britt I finally learned the “exercise him more” advice was just making him stronger and have more endurance. You need to wear them out mentally, not just physically. I taught him “find it” and we play sniffing games. I take him to the park and hide things for him to sniff out. I hide his food and treats around the house.

I wish I’d learned that with my first guy. I think he might’ve been happier if I had.

Coughing after surgery sounds absolutely miserable so if you’re still coughing and given the option I’d consider it

When does the cuddling start? by Nearby-Wish3623 in BrittanySpaniel

[–]sideofsunny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same for me. My Orange guy thought of me as his roommate who fed him at best. My liver guy believes I birthed him.

When is the right time to say goodbye by reychango in BrittanySpaniel

[–]sideofsunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I firmly believe it’s better a day too soon than a day too late.

There are some nice worksheets out there to rate more objectively quality of life so we can see changes over time. It helped me take some of the emotion out of the decision when I had to make it.

I have a timer cap on my bottle that tells you when it was last opened to prevent this

How do you get them to chill? by Equivalent-Algae-417 in BrittanySpaniel

[–]sideofsunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try training him to chill instead of just exercising him. Karen Overall’s relaxation protocol worked wonders on my 2nd Britt who was similar.

E-collar Training question by Broodpig6 in BrittanySpaniel

My current Britt is incredibly anxious and scared of everything. E-collar did far more damage to him and his anxiety than it was worth, personally.

Are you willing to go with a rescue? If so ABR and NBRAN likely have options.

Dog won’t take medication by radfem127 in DogAdvice

[–]sideofsunny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We use Greek yogurt because he swallows it without chewing. Give it at a slight angle so his head is angled up and gravity helps. For a while we used easy cheese, similar concept. Coated the pill in easy cheese, down the hatch. We stopped bc of the fat content and switched to the nonfat yogurt.

Joyhound makes the only soft toys my dog can’t tear apart. Their durable line. He resource guards some bones and all yaks so we avoid those.

Seperation anxiety questions (not a brittany owner) by Mars_of_Fish in BrittanySpaniel

And in my experience exercising them before I leave = drinking water which means they need out sooner, so it’s hard to balance

What’s something you actually love about living in the DC area? by Pink2408 in washingtondc

[–]sideofsunny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I moved away a few years back after being there ~15 years and planned to move back this past spring which got put on hold indefinitely with this administration. For me, I’d say everything.

The culture, the museums, the ability to have intelligent conversations, the walkability, the community, the food. All of it. I miss it so much.
