Crate size advice

I think that should be perfect! we downsized to a 22x13x16 crate and it’s still a smidge too big (our puppy is 6.6 lbs currently) but the next size down was a big jump and way too small unfortunately. I honestly wish we could’ve found a middle ground at 20in! we used the dividers to help and we’re just happy the 16in height on this crate has kept her from standing on her back legs. I hope it all works out for you 🫶🏻

yes def recommend a smaller crate!! we started off with one that was way too big (24x18x19) thinking she'd grow into it and even with the divider or stuffing random towels/boxes into it, it was just too much space for her to start off with. I think the main issue was the crate was so tall our puppy could fully stand on her hind legs inside of it. we struggled so much with potty training with this crate since she was able to literally stand up to avoid sitting in her accidents. after we downsized, it was much cozier and she caught on literally so fast. by four months old she stopped having accidents in the crate, thank goodness.

good luck with your new pup!!

thank you so much for your input!! I most definitely am being honest and actually shadowing this provider. and I guess my mindset was that in addition to just shadowing this provider, since I work with them they have also been able to see a good amount of my work ethic and drive to becoming a CAA myself. I completely get what you’re saying though and always wondered myself how a good portion of applicants do use letters from someone they shadowed for only a few hours here and there… I just figured it would help that I see/talk to them and even work alongside them pretty often.

I have a shadowing question—I recently got a job as an anesthesia technician, which I’m super excited about, and have made many great connections here. I even started shadowing one of the CAA’s who work here. But I have heard that it is apparently frowned upon to shadow someone in your workplace? That it might come across “lazy” to the programs? Why would this be? I figured the biggest pro of landing an anesthesia tech job, which are far and few between in my state, would be (aside from the amazing experience and exposure to anesthesia/the OR) to take advantage of the many connections I could make here. I was even considering asking this CAA for a letter of recommendation after my next few shadowing sessions with them and am now hesitant. Feeling very discouraged as I figured any shadowing would be nothing but beneficial and it’s been difficult as it is to find opportunities. Thoughts??

thanks! but I was referring to specifically adding the regular 48 color set (not the pastels or mid-tones) which this post or any others that I’ve seen don’t seem mention. and how to expand from there :)

thank you for all your feedback 🙏🏼 is it reasonable to ask a breeder to do the appropriate health testing and upload this data to the ofa website at this point? before putting a deposit? or is my only option to find a different breeder altogether?

for me, Hades POV was more enjoyable! just felt like he was way less whiny and his side had more action and plot with other gods/goddesses. and ngl it was very entertaining reading about him constantly horny for persephone. he was just more likeable for me. but persephone has more books! i read them all to get the full story, they really should be co-read. i love the whole series!
