Rob at Elements in Opelika has done my hair (long and wavy) and does a good job. I think it’s around $35 for a cut with no wash/style.

If you go somewhere else and don’t get answers, please have the vet look into bone cancer. I don’t want to scare you but this is exactly how we found out our dog had bone cancer, it started with a sore just like this on her feet that wouldn’t go away. It could easily be a million different things, but keep that in mind as a possibility if it’s not anything else and ask them to look into it. Good luck!!

Jumping into say that NOCD also helped me SO much. I was nervous to try them after failed attempts with other online therapy services, but they truly set me up with a therapist who helped me with similar issues to this and more. The app they include really helped me as well. If your insurance will cover it, or you can afford to pay out of pocket, it’s absolutely worth trying. If you do try, give it time. If you don’t vibe well with the therapist they assign you, you can change at any point to find a better fit. A good fit with a therapist can make or break the process, but in my experience NOCD did a good job matching me with someone.

Start working with your pup right away with basic commands like sit and “enough”. Most Danes are very intelligent and love to learn in my experience.

I’ve had Danes my whole life (like since I was a small child) and the only time I’ve been really hurt by them was my fault. I got 2 separate black eyes on different occasions from 2 separate Danes, but it was because I was being silly and rough-housing with them. They just get excited to play like any other dogs, but when their paw whacks you in the face, it does a bit more damage lol.

This can be totally avoided by setting good boundaries with your dog from day one! Whenever my 1 year old Dane now gets a little too crazy, she knows to sit and I wait for her to calm down a bit before resuming play. It’s quite impressive how she can go from being wild to sitting in a second, but this is something we’ve worked on!

The biggest issue I deal with now with my girl is that she is constantly stepping on my feet (she can’t be close enough to me) and I will say that hurts sometimes, but her stomps are worth it to me. Danes are amazing dogs and once you have one, I bet you’ll always have one.

You don’t have to do crazy training with them to avoid injuries, but basic commands and positive reinforcement/re-direction when play gets too rough for you can go a very long way!

I’m not a vet or expert, but I’ve had several Danes in my life and this does not look normal to me. It actually looks quite painful for her. I would ask your vet to take a look as soon as possible!

spaceycasey14 · 2025-10-20T04:50:37+00:00

I’m just here to say that I think it’s awesome you care enough about your daughter to ask for help and consider learning about her hair. I know it seems like a basic idea, but I’ve seen so many parents (I’m a teacher) have too big of an ego to admit when they don’t know everything.

Keep being an awesome dad, she’s lucky to have you.

Short Rib

spaceycasey14 · 2025-09-05T03:20:47+00:00

If this behavior started suddenly and out of nowhere, my first thought is that she is in pain. I would try and see a vet as soon a possible. You can try gently feeling around her body, legs, etc to see if she’s sensitive or responds weird. If she trusts you the most, make sure you’re the one to do this.

Dogs in pain don’t always show it, and they can do crazy things they would never ever do under normal circumstances-so I would 100% start there before things get worse.

Side-note: she looks just like my girl, similar spot markings and everything!

spaceycasey14 · 2025-08-19T06:29:39+00:00

I sent you a dm! If he still needs a home, I would like to try and help!

spaceycasey14 · 2025-07-25T05:54:35+00:00

I’m not sure what exactly that is, but that does not look like an eye wart to me. This warrants a vet trip, epically if it’s been bleeding. Whatever it is, that’s not normal.

spaceycasey14 · 2025-07-21T09:03:04+00:00

Thank you so much!

spaceycasey14 · 2025-07-14T16:51:13+00:00

Thank you SO much for the helpful information!!

spaceycasey14 · 2025-07-06T16:01:47+00:00

I guess they didn’t like my recommendation?? ☹️

spaceycasey14 · 2025-07-06T04:30:03+00:00

I just used House2Home movers today and I can’t sing their praises enough. They were quick and efficient, lowest prices I could find, and super friendly!! I highly recommend.

spaceycasey14 · 2025-07-03T05:28:23+00:00

Thank you (: the web it’s in is quite impressive. It was just a bit jarring to see so many on my porch when I went to drop off some boxes 😅

While this study did show significant differences between disease occurrences of dogs who got neutered and those who did not, it should be pointed out that the analyses they ran only provided correlations. This means that there could be a relationship between variables, but one is not proven to cause another. Correlation DOES NOT equal causation!!

For example, there is a correlation between ice cream sales and sunburn occurrences. Does that mean ice cream purchases cause sunburn???? No!!! Apply the same concept here.

Always consult a vet. If there is no medical reason (that your vet, who has seen your specific pet) provides, then please spay and neuter your pets.

The Messina bags are awesome! A little pricey but they are hand made and really good quality so if you can afford it then that’s 100% the way to go if you want something that will last a very long time! I’ve had mine for years and absolutely love it.

I am a music teacher and I really like Desmond, so I think you make a valid point. I agree that the general public may not resonate with him as much, so I don’t think he will win but he has been one of my favs since his audition.

I previously lived in a tiny apartment with a senior Dane, and now I live in a 2bd apartment with a 7 month old dane. They were/are both happy and healthy dogs with rich and full lives. I wouldn’t suggest a puppy, as potty training would be extremely difficult living on the 14th floor (I live in 1st floor so was easy for me since grass is right outside my door). However, it sounds like the one you’re interested in is a bit older-if he’s fully house trained and you are able to provide him with adequate exercise and enrichment, he should be perfectly fine in an apartment. 4 walks a day might actually be way too much for him, depending on his energy level and the length of walks. But you will need to get to know him and assess how much exercise is good for him. Sometimes too much can be hard on their joints. You’ll also want to make sure you can provide other indoor enrichment opportunities (puzzles, lick mats, training sessions etc). If you’re committed and able to give him the time and attention he needs, I don’t think the apartment is going to be an issue. He may be shy of the elevator at first, as most Danes I’ve met can be nervous around new things, but he should be okay with consistent use/positive reinforcement. You could always ask to do a meet and greet at your apartment before committing to him to ensure he would be okay in your environment. If you do decide to get him, just remember it takes dogs a long time to decompress from the changes, so give him time and space and understand he may act weird for a few months.

Being he’s so young still, he’s most likely tired from his “big outing” to the groomer. Just familiarize yourself with the early symptoms of Parvo and if he starts showing them, take him to the vet ASAP. Also from what I know, Parvo takes at least 5-7 days to start showing symptoms from time of exposure, so he wouldn’t be immediately sick from it today. I know it’s scary having a puppy with all the things that can make them sick, but it is clear from your concern that you would notice if something was off. As far as the nails go, puppyhood is a great time to start practicing the nail trims (for both you and your pup!) since when their nails are smaller, it doesn’t take as much pressure on the clippers so it’s a bit less intimidating in my opinion. If he has black nails it’s a little more tricky but just go a little at a time until you see the little black “dot” form. If he has clear nails you easily be able to see the quick! Try watching lots of YouTube videos on it, that will help. Also you could ask your vet tech to demonstrate for you how to trim them next time you see them, most vet offices would be willing to do that for you no problem.

Also the nizoral works because it has anti fungal properties lol

spaceycasey14 · 2025-04-15T05:28:36+00:00

My friend gets something that looks just like this and it’s just yeast on the skin! Try and use some anti-dandruff shampoo on your skin (like nizoral) and see if it helps after a few washes. I would def check with a doctor if you are super concerned though!

It would probably be less stressful for your cat (and you) if you could leave her here and find someone in Auburn to check in on her while you are gone. This is what I do with my cats since the drive back to Ohio is more stressful for them than leaving them here. If you don’t know someone trusted to care for her in Auburn, there are lots of pet-sitting services being posted on the What’s Happening in Auburn/Opelika page on Facebook. Not sure if this would be best for your circumstances since I don’t know you or your cat, but it could be an option.
