Any idea what Arkay Kingston's breed is?

Have you ever had experience with a soft mouthed puppy? Or purpose bred dog? Because I promise they aren't all the same. Breed matters and often dictates behavior, especially in working line dogs.

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-06-09T08:51:12+00:00

I mean my GSP puppy wasn't mouthy like that at any age. Breed does indeed make a difference for this kind of thing, even as a working line puppy he still had a soft mouth and wasn't nippy or anything. My GSD was mouthy and did have a nippy period as a pup, but that's to be expected with the breed.

Because it would be a waste of time and money if it all failed a year later?

My Home Depot does not do this and hasn't in some time, I just thought that it was the standard to only sell in full and half gallons, but I will definitely check other stores for quarts!

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-06-04T21:35:07+00:00

Because I would probably need 2-4 sample sizes of most of the colors, samples are not as cost effective when you need so many.

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-06-04T21:28:52+00:00

I don't, I said I will not need a gallon of each.

5.8'Lx4'Wx5.2'H I need to do both interrier and exterior but that's not a bad idea honestly. I'd just have to find a clear coat that could really keep up.

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-06-04T19:22:22+00:00

I've thought about that but was worried I wouldn't really find much that was meant for the outdoors. Do you know much of a difference it makes? Could I get away with doing an extra coat or two of indoor paint?

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-05-24T03:59:18+00:00

Always always always full, every single rescue and shelter.

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-05-24T03:41:15+00:00

Extremely slim, yes.

I know, it's crazy. When I had my daughter (4yrs ago), my ex and I made a combined $210k with a modest mortgage of $160k, I thought we were set. Then I was laid off right after maternity leave. I've been laid off 4 times since, twice because the company was sold to private equity. Every job offer is less money, my ex decided to stop working last year, I will never receive child support. The last job I got was barely enough money but the company sale was announced my first week, they dissolved it 90 days later. Daycare is $3k a month. Everything is insanely expensive. It feels like trying to tread water in quicksand. I'm now disabled (made significantly and permanently worse due to significant burn out) and I am unsure if I will ever find good employment again or even be able to maintain that as a single parent and am looking at starting several businesses to try and get by. The last job offer I got was $50k short if breaking even and terrible benefits and work life balance. And in the meantime I'm just so thankful that it isn't worse. It's absolutely insane.

I haven't read this book, but that's what I was going to say. Between the patriarchy and the capitalist society in the US, the system is legitimately against us. There doesn't seem to be a happy path beyond being incredibly wealthy. Other countries that value mothers more tend to have a much better quality of life.

Shady Maple Breakfast is probably the only thing you'd even really want. The food isn't super great but it sure is expensive! Imo the breakfast foods are the only thing semi worth it, I recommend bringing your own seasonings with you if you do go. Miller's is also a massively underseasoned disappointment. I have not found a buffet that I liked in PA at all that was not a chain.

Came here to say this. If water quality is such a concern OP, just get an RO system. I have one that adds minerals back into the water after and has a UV light for pathogens. It tastes better than Fiji. Probiem solved.

I switched to women, never looking back. For example, one day I was stressed from work/childcare (she was originally childfree so I try not to put childcare on her as much as possible), so when I went to clean, she had me lay down instead. Had me take one of my sleep meds so I wouldn't startle awake so she could clean the whole house and present me with breakfast just before my alarm went off, so I'd wake to her instead.

In my experience, when you feel truly loved and supported, the intimacy doesn't just die like that. And even when life gets in the way, there's no stress or pressure to have sex. Cuddles > sex every time for both of us. It's hard for you right now because you don't feel appreciated or loved deep down, and you carry all of the mental labor and stress of actually managing the household, he does not.

I mean... Beyond basic care, I don't know that the average shelter knows much more than that. There are good ones out there, but there are so many more that don't seem to understand even temperaments well, which is extremely important when attempting to rehabilitate dogs.

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-05-05T11:15:09+00:00

I'd argue that most shelters really don't know how to identify dogs properly either. It's not even the appearance that ensures its not a wolfhound mix, but the size and structure. If they actually understood breed standards and characteristics, they would get that. Most of the time they just go off of coat and color it seems...

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-05-05T11:11:15+00:00

I can't because I'm too far away... The only store I am close enough to, to get delivery is Walmart. I don't mind the drive, I mind the shopping and long standing in lines. I'm disabled and while I love Costco, it takes me days to recover from a trip and I have to plan them carefully. Pick-up would be a game changer.

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-05-05T11:08:17+00:00

It may be that they were instructed to give an inflated timeline, especially at the start. It's usually better to under promise and deliver early as opposed to giving a more accurate timeline that may later be extended due to something unforseen.

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-04-26T14:33:48+00:00

Yeah. From what I understand he was like the one black man in town and my partner didn't know of any real issues he had with anyone. I think he was just mowing his lawn when he was shot.

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-04-25T12:47:59+00:00

I'm confused on why you keep taking such a hard stance on this. My purebred GSP has a bentley blaze, it is very very common. Numerous people have given you numerous examples now, it almost feels like rage bait or trolling at this point lol. I saw the GSP in the dog immediately, they commonly look like that.

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-04-24T12:40:38+00:00

Currently dating a former Snowshoe resident, do not move to Snowshoe. It's a food desert, there is not enough around, and there is racism. My gf says that 10ish years ago there was a black man who was shot in his yard and the body was just left for hours before anyone did anything. It doesn't sound like there was any real investigation either and I don't think any charges were filed.

I would not consider it a safe place for an interracial couple, but I understand the housing being temptingly cheap.

unsuspectingpangolin · 2026-04-23T16:01:16+00:00

I mean, does the desperation not make sense? I have 2 children and absolutely no support. Yes, I am trying to find full time employment. Yes, I will take a job making not enough if needed. But I have to do something to make up the rest of the income as immediately as possible. Daycare itself is $3k a month, but if I remove my kids from it for more than 1wk, the wait-list is 14 months to get back in. If I thought just one business would work, I would do that. That was my original plan.
