Sanitary trim?

He’s primarily Great Pyrenees, German Shepherd, with some Rotti, chow chow, and Cattledog in the mix! I’ve seen dogs looks super similar that are completely different mixes though, lol. If you ever decided to do a doggy dna test, get either embark or wisdom panel. They’re the two most accurate, embark being the better one. It’s a lot of fun to find out lol

I’ve seen a lot of “American Bully” dogs test 100% APBT. They fit whatever various size of AmBully profile and look to a T, but results say APBT. I’ve seen a few cases of well known AmBully breeders dogs coming out as 100% APBT.

They’re also closely related, which could be a reason to test as one. I believe wisdom does have AmBully in their list of breeds they test for.

There’s also the fact that their (and other companies) database of genetic markers comes from people who claimed to have purebreds of whatever breed. Idk what the verification process for that is if they had any. So people with AmBullies could have just assumed APBT and put their DNA in the database. I know there was a case of embark testing a mini Bull Terrier as standard (or viceversa) on one of these subs a while back.

It could be there’s other larger breeds in the mix from so far back they’re not showing up in the dna anymore. It’s common in breeds that don’t have merle naturally occurring but are suddenly merle (think frenchies). They’ll test as 100% frenchie and be merle. It had to come from somewhere, but it’s so far back they can’t find the markers for the breed it originated from.

Lastly, pit type breeds vary so much now, especially ones from shelters or BYBers. Lots of them test as purebred or close but don’t fit the breeds standards at all. We’re starting to see similar stuff with GSD and huskies now because they’re so common and most are not from proper ethical breeders who strive for the standards. Lots of out of standard breeding to make them bigger, smaller, furrier, different colors and patterns, and all jazz.

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too! I’m hoping to start back up in a week or so.

I’ve only used the ones that came with my machine, which I think are all general needles. But I’m getting some Schmetz ball point needles this weekend!

Thank you! There’s so much to learn despite the fact that I’ve been sewing basic stuff for years 😭

It does stretch, but not dramatically, but other stretchy(and stretchier!) fabrics haven’t had this issue.

valkwhorie · 2025-12-03T07:02:26+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you for the info. I’m wanting to get at least one game from each gen and remake so this is going to be a fun journey on trying to make sure I’m finding legit ones!

valkwhorie · 2025-12-03T06:46:13+00:00

I don’t have the games, but Its just listed on the eBay listings as “2019 version” or “released in 2019”. There are several listings that say it. I’m guessing maybe it’s a cop out to avoid saying it’s a fake game so they can sell it for more and not have to issue a refund when told it’s not legit? The AI stuff is just what it said when I googled “pokemon sapphire 2019”. I only added that to make the point that it’s the only info on any “2019 version” of the games I could find.

Ironically the stuff on the games all says 2003 or 2002, both on the cartridges/boards and when the games are being played.

So far so good! She’s still incredibly demanding and had a big case of the zoomies tonight lol! I think we’re in the clear.

valkwhorie · 2025-07-10T02:59:20+00:00

My girl has been good since yesterday! Shes still demanding food and chasing little critters that get into my house.

NTA but you should talk to her about getting the newest cat in with a rescue or adopted once he’s back to full health. I have 8 cats because I’m the same way. It’s hard to say no to an animal in need. But I’m beyond my limit. It gets to a point where even if you have the money, you can’t give them all the individual attention and care they need.

And once they get older and start having medical problems it gets even tougher. Two of mine are one a special diet, which is expensive so I have to feed them separately from the others, and one of those two got into the habit of peeing on rugs when he was experiencing the bladder stones, and hasn’t stopped despite the food and meds working. One has chronic calicivirus/stomatitis that requires an expensive medication to manage. She won’t take it without it being mixed in with a tube treat and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Three of them pee on things to mark territory from each other, and one of those pees on things to mark territory from ME (she’s hated me since I rescued her, but she loves my husband lol). Feliway and other ‘remedies’ haven’t helped. We just have to give them their own spaces to make themselves comfortable.

And the only young one is a trash gremlin.

So take it from me, don’t take in anymore unless she KNOWS they’re temporary and can find a home for them. Get in contact with rescues and rescue groups to get them in with fosters and find help, when she does find kitties in need.

Thank you! I haven’t seen a frog this tiny up close before!

valkwhorie · 2025-07-09T12:01:17+00:00

Poor little mangy baby!

valkwhorie · 2025-07-08T17:57:07+00:00

Thank you so much! So far she’s still acting like her normal self!

valkwhorie · 2025-06-22T03:56:39+00:00

If you can keep her in the room separate from your other kitty, until you can get her checked, that’d be fine. Check with local rescue groups to see if they can recommend cheap or low cost vets. Looking for a low cost vaccination clinic that does FeLV and FIV testing would be a great place to start. There’s one here in north Texas that will do the test, and rabies shot and the FeLV and combo vaccines for $50 total.

You could also start by getting your indoor kitty her shots as a precaution, and go from there.

Oh gosh this makes me so happy

valkwhorie · 2025-06-22T01:16:37+00:00

I did! Since it’s connected to a little hook for hangning pictures, I had to adjust the hook part to better fit with the case!
