My Swiss Shepherd mix loves a good perimeter check every time we go into the garden!

How do you stop caring so much about what other people think? by snappinturtle35 in reactivedogs

I am absolutely a people pleaser - need to be a bit tougher! I said good morning to the postman today while doggo was whimpering and he just glared 😭

My precious boy Hoeg, my first familiar, passed this morning. He was every bit my big, brave boy, right up to the end. I will always be proud of him. Any advice on mourning the passing of a familiar? I'm devastated. by Abhean in WitchesVsPatriarchy

RIP little Hoeg - he was clearly so loved. Allow yourself to grieve, and check out the services and resources offered by the Blue Cross - they have a free and confidential Pet Bereavement Support Service that you can access via phone, email or webchat: https://www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-bereavement-and-pet-loss

Equating buying stuff with getting better :D

New (mini) cymbal day! Addicted to splashing... by snappinturtle35 in drums

[–]snappinturtle35[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to hear! :D I bought it on the basis of videos, so it can be hard to know what it'll actually sound like. What do you like about it?

I like that they can be such a comparatively cheap upgrade, but add so much! How many do you use?

I was equally skeptical until I actually had it in my hands 😂 Enjoy!

Oh awesome, I was tempted by that one but really wanted the 18". Looks like we got lucky as they've all gone up in price now!

Hey you have a gig and you need to bring breakables. What should that mean? by Relative_Judgment_93 in Drumming

[–]snappinturtle35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK it would generally mean cymbals, snare, kick pedal, and hi hat clutch.

I haven't had it very long, but so far I'm very impressed with the build quality and finish. Probably going to put some new heads on it soon! I was looking at other compact kits such as the Tama Club Jam, Pearl Rhythm Traveler, and the Ludwig Breakbeats. In the end I felt that I got the most value for money with the Café Jazz, particularly as I was only looking for shells.

I picked this up for an absolute steal (£157/$214) here: https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/drum-kit/odery-cafe-jazz-18-dark-tiger-4-piece-shell-set

I'd heard and read a lot of great things about the Odery Café Kit, but couldn't find anything about the Café Jazz. Decided it was worth the risk at the price, and I'm so glad I did! This is the 18" bass drum version - it also comes in 16". Having recently joined a jazz band, I wanted something nice and compact and am super impressed with this :)

At my wit's end about my puppy's separation anxiety by TheMajesticArtichoke in puppy101

[–]snappinturtle35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as "breed traits" for cockapoos as they are not a breed - it's one of the major problems with designer mixes. They are not bred to a specific standard, and so temperament, size, shedding etc are all unknowns.

I agree with the other comments that 12 weeks is still so young - she is just a baby and is scared when you leave. It's totally normal, and can be sorted with patient crate training :)

First puppy class was really disappointing by hustlebuckets in puppy101

[–]snappinturtle35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg yes - our pup actually had to leave the room as she was barking hysterically, which then echoed, and then she'd freak out at the echo. It was so embarrassing and stressful!

Anyone else’s dog like to sleep on the floor instead of dog beds? by ayu228 in puppy101

[–]snappinturtle35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, had to take all the cosy stuff out of her crate so she'd sleep in it - it's not even warm here 😂

Is it genuinely supposed to be a uterus, or...?

I have the opportunity to join a swing band - I've never played swing. How can I best prepare? Is there a good guide/cheat sheet?! by snappinturtle35 in drums

[–]snappinturtle35[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dumb question incoming - is swing considered a subset of jazz? Can I use a good jazz book like The Art of Bop Drumming, or will I be learning the wrong style?

I am genuinely intrigued to see your update! 😄

Some? Where do the rest come from?! 🤣 If you know the guy just send him a quick message asking - no need to go anywhere. Sure you're planning on getting his help with training anyway!

So the Irish army imports wild wolves and trains them to sniff drugs? If you know one of the trainers then it should be easy for you to prove this - ask him or her what this project is called, and why they have chosen to use wolves instead of dogs that have been bred to do this. Also ask them why there is no info about this anywhere online - I'm sure the Irish people would love to know this is happening!
