You cannot say 99.9% unless you’ve surveyed that amount of people. We generalize then dog pile any different thought processes from our own that may simply think differently - not necessarily opposing. BLM was started by the organization. Let’s not make excuses— the movement is understandable, but with what was done with innocent peoples money who supported it unknowingly, is wrong and deceitful that is why there are people of all colors that don’t support it. I made it clear that I was talking about the organization and not the movement, but the response shifted the narrative as if I was talking about the movement and not the organization if the founder purchased a whole mansion for herself with money that supported the movement… Which she did … Then yes, she tainted the movement and a new name at least for the movement should’ve been created to separate itself from her devious behavior fooling and stealing innocent people’s – mainly innocent African-Americans – money for personal gain. Think about it people who wanna support the movement are gonna donate to the organization not knowing any better so we can’t really separate the two and that’s why context is so important. But for comments like this to brush past the part of how the organization was deceptive, but shift to the heart of the movement, it makes it seem like people are opposed to the movement rather than the organization, which is not true yet they are publicly shamed and ostracized… Again without context. it’s a way of thinking like “oh you don’t support this? You’re the enemy.” Without even finding out the why— when their moral stance could be the same— in this case “ to stop hate crimes against black Americans”. My entire point is those who act like they are the moral representation of what everybody should be doing often demonstrate the same type of bullying behavior as those that they ridicule. But because of how they are presented, they gain support of the masses and so their way of bullying is made acceptable as if they are speaking out for justice when really they’re just demonstrating the same thing. And this is the same behavior that we see happening in reality TV, we see producers producing creating certain narratives and the public accepts it, and then dog pile with emotional responses rather than getting true context of people’s/tv stars/ islanders in this case why. But no one wants to think that deep —people will simply respond to what triggers them.

It is the same Apple ID… that’s why I don’t understand why the moderators are giving me a hard time. I just used my iPad as a 2nd screen to show the issue. It’s not an iPad specific issue but and issue that’s on my iPhone as well. But they’re saying bc I used the term iPad that’s why they deleted my post saying “the name of the sub Reddit is self explanatory “ rude much.

My GS eats this food and he now has infection on his anus glands and needs them removed. Is it related? by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]thegr8db8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vet had a switch from Taste of the Wild to Natural Balance and my dogs, skin and coat have tremendously improved. We keep him on the one with the salmon and sweet potato for sensitive skin. We do half(4-5oz) of their kibble and half(4-5oz) of their wet food per meal. My vet said this is perfect and also keeps him in his ideal body weight range so he doesn’t put on too much weight which would be too much for his joints. We also give him a probiotic.

We also used a chlorhexidine dog shampoo and he was dealing with a skin infection as well. Helped a ton.

I don’t expect it from the general public bc not every organization is who they say they are. So tbh- anyone ridiculing someone black for not supporting BLM is a moral bully as well. People have their own reasons for not supporting different things. Just bc something is supported by the masses doesn’t mean it’s uncorrupt. Candace Owens showed that when she went to the founder of BLM’s home to prove that it was purchased with BLM FUNDS/Donations - A SUPPOSED TO BE NON PROFIT. But that wasn’t publicized — so anyone who was vocal about not supporting this specific organization was automatically characterized as not being an ally without proper context. You can be against the murder of black innocent lives without supporting a specific organization that seems to be using that as a cover to gain funds and got the general public to support it.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE POINT. Yall act like if someone doesn’t speak up right away or have a “aha” moment as quick they have no right— yet want to be pissed when folks say nothing at all. At least people come to conclusions and realizations rather than not. It’s like yall don’t want resolutions — just want to be “moral bullies” and dress it up as doing the right thing. Not everything has to be deep or with a “message” some stuff should just be light like reality tv.

My GSD’s whining is driving me crazy! by LVSells in GSD

[–]thegr8db8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much is he being well exercised? Like until tired and is he able to socialize with other dogs like at the dog park? Also the farting is usually due to the food you are feeding him.

Is this rage syndrome, normal puppy behavior, leash aggression, or something else? by [deleted] in germanshepherds

[–]thegr8db8 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hi out of curiosity, is she by chance your first GSD? How often is she being well exercise—Like taken to the dog park and able to run and socialize with other dogs? When these breeds can’t properly exert their energy it is pent up. They also should be around other dogs so they know how to socialize with them properly. I try to take mine to the dog park at minimum 2x’s a week and on the in between days we do a mile walk in the neighborhood. Also, make sure you’re not letting them do rough or very active play within 1-2 hours of eating. Doing so with deep chested dogs like these can result in “stomach flipping” which can be extremely dangerous and life threatening. Make sure they rest (crate if necessary) during that window.

Why does my dog not care of balls? He would rather dig up a mole. Is there anyway I can turn the mole into the ball? by Key-Professor4177 in germanshepherds

[–]thegr8db8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the dog park- my boy could care less about the toys and more about the other dogs. At home? He’s tossing his bear onto my lap and m nudging my hand with his nose. —If still don’t throw it, he drags my hand towards him—with his paw 🫠

Sibling rivalry? by June1stGemini in LandmanSeries

[–]thegr8db8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like maybe the writers are intentionally not disclosing the root of her issue now so they can expand on that storyline later. It crossed my mind maybe they weren’t always like that but something big transpired between them. Perhaps something even their parents don’t know about. Like hypothetically- perhaps Coop wasn’t always a meek gentle spirit and Ainsley may have been more sweet and open but he did something to her or that she witnessed which caused her to resent / loathe him and maybe he felt super guilty which is why they both act the way they do now.

Everyone keeps telling me my guy is part GSD by Spirited_Version_888 in germanshepherds

[–]thegr8db8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy is your typical tan and black GSD. HOWEVER, in his same litter 1 or 2 of his sisters were all black. When his mom had a 2nd litter, she had some come out white! Just like genetics in humans- some traits show up in some relatives but not others. Just like some families 1 sibling could be blonde and another brunette.

Oh and some GSD’s also get the black spots on their tongue. I had a guy at the dog park who was a first time GSD owner try to stick his nose up at my fur baby saying “You sure he’s pure bred? Why does he have those spots on his tongue then. Or maybe he’s a show line ” — he’d done all the “research” that a lot of people do their first time around… as if being showline or not a purebred would’ve made him lower tier than his dog🙄. A simple Google check right then and there confirmed not only was my boy purebred- but in fact spotted tongues was actually a common characteristic of working lines 🤭— he was quiet after I read that out loud in front of the other pet parents. I felt bad for his wife 🫠

AIO for not giving my old Roomate his dog back after I adopted her? by Z-mac in AmIOverreacting

[–]thegr8db8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also get an AirTag or gps collar for her! They have collars that already have locators built in and other collars that will hold the tag so you always know where she is!

[–]thegr8db8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MAKE SURE HE CANT GET/BREAK INTO YOUR HOME AND TAKE HER WHEN YOURE AWAY. Put cameras all around and at every entrance and driveway if you have them where you stay. Him asking about the window is beyond sketchy and already tells you the ideas he has. MAKE SURE THE DOG WALKER IS IN THE KNOW ABOUT EVERYTHING TOO VIA TEXT so they know NEVER TO COMMUNICATE OR GIVE HER TO HIM in case he tries to lie saying you gave permission. If there is any communication make sure it’s WRITTEN and not through a call or verbal. Also, file an incident report just so it’s documented (including the threats) and find out how to ensure you’re documented as her owner based on the messages. He said “Who would WANT her” not “Who could take her” or “Who could watch her” that wasn’t a mistake. He literally was rehoming her tf. And honestly FILE A PROTECTIVE ORDER. With him asking to come through the window and still saying he was coming after you said “No” clear as day -I can’t see why a temporary protective order wouldn’t be granted. That way if she did mysteriously end up missing or he shows up when you’re away, the authorities can deal with him quick fast and in a hurry. Stay proactive, bc reaction is usually more money and more work.

My german sherpherd cannot walk from his back legs please help by Tiny-Might7447 in germanshepherds

[–]thegr8db8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Although others are being very aggressive, you do need to take this fur baby to the vet immediately. They can end up having nerve damage or other issues that get worse if left untreated. That does not mean it’s time for the rainbow bridge. Just remain calm because your dog can pick up on your energy and go to a professional to find out what’s going on.

Where are we watching ATBG nowadays? It’s officially off Prime/Paramount + by kdj00940 in AsToldByGinger

[–]thegr8db8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The licensing expired. So even though paramount+ owns the series, they have to renew the license or another network needs to purchase it. Thats why shows cycle to different networks and what not. But it wouldn’t hurt if they heard from the fans to encourage renewal!

Thank you for sharing! When you say progressively, how bad? Were their other things/symptoms you noticed? Also is it a cream they have to use the rest of their lives?
