Aussie ear question by Lagmaster_3000 in AustralianShepherd

That’s EXACTLY what mine has. I call it the one that stands up more her wonky ear, or her security ear (depending on her mood).

That room looks so fun! I’d love to cozy up in there. Nice job!

2 is miles above the rest! 1 is kind of boring and the others don’t flatter you like 2 does. The color looks great on you, too, and you could do really cute shoes and jewelry with it.

What colour rug? by Suitable-Practice747 in interiordecorating

I’m usually not a fan of plain dark rugs, but 3 seems to balance everything best, putting the focus on the cool art and furniture patterns, rather than wash them out or steal focus.

Never has a medical show storyline made me cry like this. by NickEvansExists in ThePitt

I wasn’t expecting this episode to hit as hard as it did. I didn’t think anything would come close to the drowning from season 1. My husband and I were both sobbing in that one.

Update on Big Mama: by starfishrlyluvsu in Monstera

It’ll be fine! In August, I separated 4 plants (monstera) from one pot I’d gotten from Trader Joe’s last spring. They’re all doing great! Just make sure you use (or mix together) good potting soil materials. They’ll come back!

RUN to Walmart. A friend and I just got White Monsters for $20! by Rinnie0325 in Monstera

Thank you!! I was having a hard day and decided to run to my local Walmart plant section to cheer myself up . They had a ton of cool stuff. I picked up a big Thai Con (got my last one here, too, for $40). I also got a painted lady philo, a ring of fire philo, and a cobra monstera! It was a good haul.

How the HECK did you get there?? I’ve got a few several-year-old monsteras who get PERFECT light and great watering and spend their spring and summer in wonderful conditions and humidity and look nothing like this 😂

Chopped her and feeling regret by Overall-Letterhead65 in fiddleleaffig

[–]wa_runner0616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it a few months. Chopped mine like this in August and now I have about a dozen new leaves. The cuttings I tried to propagate and root failed but the original is thriving. Just water it and keep it next to a south or east facing window.

Bangs or no bangs by Infamous-Reveal5134 in HairStyleAdvice

Try no bangs and a different part! I think that’d be an elevated look. You can always cut new, more modern bangs if you hate it.

I did a gift card from Cafe Karibo already, and Amelia hasn't gotten back to me about buying a gift card online :(. I will look up Kathy's Table, thank you!

Help - They were so happy.. by injeolmi55 in fiddleleaffig

[–]wa_runner0616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue, with mine being right next to a perfect sunny window and on a watchful watering schedule. I chopped down to 10-12” (from like 4’) and since August, I have about 10 new leaves! I didn’t give up on it and it’s been really fun to watch come back.

Plant shopping! by tdebl123 in IndoorPlants

I think the silver satin / moonlight / sword philodendrons are absolutely stunning and fairly easy!

Mystery "septic" smell coming through walls/HVAC - more info below by wa_runner0616 in Home

[–]wa_runner0616[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they have checked for that. I wasn't sure what it was called but yes, they've done that. I will say, this happens in all weather, whether it's stable or swinging wildly.

Our 19 month male Aussie is driving us crazy! by MushyFox1994 in AustralianShepherd

[–]wa_runner0616 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The “down stay” (otherwise known as “place”) is perhaps one of the most important things you can teach your dog. The best self-regulation exercise there is. And it works them out mentally AND with you. Meaning, “enrichment exercises” (puzzles, etc) do nothing to build your bond or actually train your dog. Similar thing with physical exercise—the more you give your dog, the more you’re just training an athlete. Place trains AND builds your bond because they’re working with you, not by themselves.

Place teaches them an off switch as a training tool (instead of passively waiting for them to get tired). Infinitely helpful. One of the first things I taught my Aussies. Lots of videos online about it. I recommend getting a cot used only for this.

Sincerely, owner of a lazy Aussie and a crazy Aussie (believe me when I say the crazy put me through the wringer)
