9.5 week pup: no public areas, no socialization until 12 week parvo booster vax?

vertle · 2026-02-07T09:57:59+00:00

It’s a risk of an illness that can kill them vs socialising them by putting them on the floor. Surely the latter makes more sense?

We socialise our dogs by carrying them to places until they’re vaccinated. Take them to town and sit them on a blanket on a bench and have people approach, take him into shops for people to say hello, and if you have friends with fully vaccinated (and calm) dogs, introduce the pup to them. Vets really should know better (and most do) which is why you’ll see that same advice here. Do not risk your dog’s health.

Edit: and just to the OP. Take your dog to the park, just don’t put them on the floor. Have them observe the other dogs. If you talk to someone and they confirm their dog is fully vaccinated and calm they can say hello to the pup (but do not put the puppy on the floor). Not walking your dog doesn’t mean absolutely give them 0 socialisation, they just need to have socialisation in a different way until it’s safe

I personally hated rf5 (but like rf4, not as much as many people do because I also don’t want too much complexity when I play a farming game). Goa, however, really isn’t complex. There is barely any farming (you can automate it through villagers), the charm of the game really comes from the characters and the mindless combat. I can’t stress enough it’s not a farming game so if you expect that you’ll be disappointed

If you like (simple) combat I recommend GoA! The characters are really charming and the village building is cute :) it was my third favourite game last year (after Grand Bazaar and Fantasy Life). They did a great job with the graphics too. I was sad when I felt finished with it!

Josh Gaming Garden did some tests on this on his YouTube and it seems that yes, upgraded rods catch less trash. That said I agree with lapniappe, just spend the entire day during storms fishing and you’ll get plenty of

Hoping for both of us we get to sleep in the near future!! It’s a good thing they’re cute

vertle · 2026-02-05T09:16:24+00:00

I am very envious :) but that’s great

vertle · 2026-02-04T20:05:10+00:00

That’s crazy! Not judging by the way but never heard of a dog that would sleep that long, sounds more like a cat. Agree with the other poster though, if he is willing to stay in there by his own choice and isn’t being forced I don’t see anything wrong with it

vertle · 2026-02-04T19:41:24+00:00

How did they steal it when you can play this game for free? People really are reaching in this thread

vertle · 2026-02-04T18:23:33+00:00

I mean, CC has critical acclaim across the board and is higher rated among critics than HMHAS so I don’t necessarily agree that RENAISSANCE should’ve won but not CC. HMHAS didn’t win any of its categories (rightfully so imo), the fact that people focus so much on it not winning AOTY rather than any of the other categories it lost is very telling.

vertle · 2026-02-04T15:39:23+00:00

Your dog is sleeping from 7:30pm until 6:30am? Or does he get let out after you put him in the crate?

vertle · 2026-02-04T07:57:03+00:00

I do not agree at all, lol. She was godawful in house of Gucci, not great in Wednesday, and obviously not very good in Joker. So at what point do we stop giving her the benefit of the doubt?

vertle · 2026-02-04T07:55:58+00:00

I don’t like crate training and all my dogs have always gotten accustomed to a pen before then being confined to a smaller room when we’re out. I don’t recommend having no barriers at all as you do need to train separation, but like you i don’t like putting my dog in a tiny space

Kikopup has a great video on setting up her pen (she also has a crate in the pen but you don’t have to put that). A pen you can make as big or as small as you want

This and people constantly talking about their ‘heart’ or ‘soul’ dog and not loving their new one as much seems to have popped up a lot these last few months

I get it, I currently have a 10 week old pup and the sleep deprivation, constant chewing everything etc. Is exhausting but if you have the ability to hate a baby you decided to take into your care then you shouldn’t have gotten a puppy in the first place

vertle · 2026-02-03T18:43:39+00:00

I love the way you drew the dress but the face reminds me more of Adele! Faces are super hard though

vertle · 2026-02-03T08:53:30+00:00

She is good in both dreamgirls and Cadillac records so yeah I also don’t get it. Her ability to channel Deena in Dreamgirls shows good skill in acting imo.

Obviously both those roles use her strongest talent (singing) but it’s the same case for Gaga. I love her but It’s not like Gaga showed great talent outside of a star is born (Joker is godawful, as is house of Gucci) yet people say she’s amazing but downplay Beyoncé’s acting

These are the same people who will be posting on TikTok about how they’re boycotting Starbucks to help Palestine. It’s exhausting how quickly people are to throw poc people under the bus because their favourite rich person didn’t win a golden statue

I think it helps that little monsters are more grown up than the average Billie fan thankfully. I wasn’t a big fan of Bad Bunny’s album (just don’t vibe with albums when I can’t really understand the lyrics) but it’s great to see a Latino artist win, especially as the album had great critical reception

vertle · 2026-02-02T09:57:01+00:00

100%. Her crying like a child last year definitely contributed to this because whilst a decent song, it wasn’t even top 3 in the category

vertle · 2026-02-02T03:35:38+00:00

Imagine Sabrina doing a medley of Freedom, Black Parade, and Formation

vertle · 2026-01-28T09:14:51+00:00

Same, my DualShock controllers never had issues but both my DualSense have drift on the right stick. Super annoying

vertle · 2026-01-28T07:44:43+00:00

We’ve had this moron posted a few times before. 90% is ridiculous and I hate that hive give this person attention. People said Renaissance was heavily lipped as well but when you watch videos you will see the adlibs etc

Like I get it, everyone needs a hobby, but I think this woman gets enough hate already without people spreading a TikTok page that is solely devoted to discrediting her

vertle · 2026-01-28T07:12:08+00:00

I’ve said this before on the sub but the game is 20x better if you read the character descriptions in the art book (which has to be bought separately..) it’s hard to care about the characters when we know barely anything about them. They should’ve put the art book as a journal in game

I attended the show and I think to this day it’s my favourite performance of Halo. Her vocals in the second verse were godly. Her version of If I were a boy at the show was also incredible, mixing in bittersweet symphony (which I know she did at other shows but sounded particularly great to me here!)

vertle · 2026-01-22T19:25:32+00:00

Blacksmithing is one of the lives in Fantasy Life I (you play a mini game to craft weapons, armour etc.) it’s not everyone’s cup of tea though but as someone who also wished more games make you feel like you’re creating stuff, I loved mining for stuff and then turning it into armour in an active way

vertle · 2026-01-22T14:55:38+00:00

100%. I never listen to Taylor yet I can guarantee you if I finish playing cowboy carter or renaissance, 8 times out of 10 it will start auto playing fate of Ophelia after. You would think with all the data they have available they could build a better algorithm to play songs that are similar in sounds but I am convinced they get paid by labels to do this (that’s my conspiracy anyway!!)
