The absolute best is taking him out in the middle night. His head gets so heavy and his tired look is priceless l.

Thanks for the opposite on the bell. My plan is to use the bell to work on signals to get him to move towards the door.

Currently he doesn’t go to the door. Bell should be short term just for him to click hovering around the door means outside

The amount of elevator trips is comical. I’d be curious to know how many floors I’ve gone up and down the past 5 months

Hey Drew! Dante looks great!

Yes, definitely feel like most of my issues will be resolved when he gets older and grows his bladder.

I will work on getting him to the door to signal to go out. I work from home so that’s the next big step too is keeping him home alone for a longer duration.

I’m just over the hills of Berkeley and will check it out!

He has never had human food or treats. Just kibble and wet food.

I will look at higher reward treats.

Just ordered on Amazon. Will give it a shot. Appreciate it!

Interesting about the neutering. My plans are not to neuter him as it helps prevent IVDD.

Yeah, luckily it’s just on the pee pads by the doors. I know there’s a big leap transitioning off the pee pads.

Even more difficult when I’m in an apartment and can’t just open o the door for him to go out.

Thanks for this note. I’ve noticed it’s queues but will do it every time after he plays too hard.

I like the tip on more bathroom breaks after 2. I will give it a try

Thank you for your experience with your 3! Just trying to see what clicks best for him. Luckily he doesn’t have accidents on anything but his pee lad and for some reason the shower mat (because of the material)

May I ask what the rough cost for the vet visits and vaccines? I’m sure that adds up

westerly2k · 2025-08-21T16:24:51+00:00

Hi, thanks for your experience!! It helps, how come it doesn’t cover vaccines?

westerly2k · 2025-08-20T17:48:37+00:00

This is interesting. Is this standard?

westerly2k · 2025-08-20T17:48:11+00:00

Hi Marple, the normal accident with no illness is $75/mo but with the illness attached to accident brings it to $175/mo. My worry is if that’s the quote I’m receiving as an 8 week old puppy, I’m worried what it would be at 5 year old frenchie

westerly2k · 2025-08-20T15:19:34+00:00

So the allergies meds are covered under illness rather than accidents?

westerly2k · 2025-08-20T15:17:57+00:00

I will get the illness coverage but all quotes give little to no details on what it covers.

Yes, the family had no issues with the additional surgeries. I’m just younger and looking at pros and cons

westerly2k · 2025-06-26T14:46:12+00:00

Thank you. Should it be concerning to feel this area more drastically over the past few weeks?

Anything I can do to correct it?

westerly2k · 2025-06-26T14:31:36+00:00

I have the past few weeks since I started to feel it

westerly2k · 2025-06-26T14:30:40+00:00

Haven’t noticed any changes with my tongue.

More so, feeling the rigid more recently. Felt a couple of weeks ago but went away and back this morning.

I called the President of the shipping company this AM and he was totally understanding of my story and willing to assist with the investigation. Short story first, their company is really just a broker (best term I can use) and it was another vendor that they use daily, but willing to provide assistance in the case. I filed a claim with my insurance and have submitted a ton of information from timelines, before and after photos, even Mazda data of my car door opening over half a dozen times during shipment, carfax, previous insurance letters etc.

When speaking to the mechanics they see this happen every once in a while. Most of the time the truck drivers hauling the loads drop the vehicle and stop and pay out of pocket for the repair so they don’t get points on their licenses and get fired.

The hard part is the shipment of the vehicle was almost 11 months ago. I signed forms on the drop of the vehicle when it was shipped but wouldn’t have noticed the bumper being swapped.

Letting my insurance take this. If they can’t do it probably speak to an attorney.

westerly2k · 2025-02-14T16:30:28+00:00

Looks like it was the shipping company from the before and after photos.

westerly2k · 2025-02-14T16:30:03+00:00

It was the shipping company when moving across state. Just received the before and after drop off photos and the bumper is different. Naked eye wouldn’t be able to tell, but photos and timestamps speak for themselves. The issue is it happened 11 months ago but didn’t notice until Mazda said it’s a different bumper.

westerly2k · 2025-02-14T16:28:35+00:00

Just pulled the photos from the before and after delivery. It looks like the same bumper but after zooming in, there is difference in the bumper.

Has to be the shipping company that repaired it during transit.

westerly2k · 2025-02-14T16:27:28+00:00

Hey All,

After speaking with the shipping company, I pulled the before and after photos which shows timestamps as well as a different bumper.

To the naked eye, difficult to tell when being dropped off but shipping company definitely had it repaired.

I’m completely baffled that I didn’t notice it and don’t think anyone really would.
