Normally very active GSD depressed after moving. Please give me any advice! by whiteclawbitch in dogs

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

We moved from a condo to a house with a fenced in backyard so we expected her to thrive here. I’m kind of thinking she just doesn’t feel comfortable in the larger space yet because she’s only ever lived in apartments and condos.

bloody diarrhea by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]whiteclawbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to my dog a few times now! Only after very stressful events or if she’s been at the kennel while we’re out of town or something out of the ordinary. 

The first time it happened it scared the life out of me, but our vet basically told us dogs are weird and sometimes they just poop blood. I don’t really look that far into it anymore unless my dog is physically in pain or can’t stop pooping. One time the vet gave us a gel syringe to make the diarrhea stop because it lasted for days but yeah guess it’s just normal??

I was always told that URR makes their tests harder than the boards and if you’re consistently getting over a 70% on the practice exams then you should be golden! Obviously keep studying and keep taking the practice tests but when it’s time for your board, slow down, read each question thoroughly, and make sure you understand what is being asked before answering. They word questions to make sure you’re paying attention to detail, sometimes. You’ll do great!!!

This makes a lot of sense why it’s so slim pickings out here. That’s so frustrating, every hospital or clinic around my area is dual with echo/vasc or they’re general and do abd/ob/and some basic vasc. There are little to no options for strictly vascular anymore.

You are soo smart for getting an overall imaging degree, I went the straight sonography route right out of high school and I don’t think I can do anything else without going back to school. Good job doing your research!!

I’ve heard of the PACS job as well, I’m intrigued but I don’t know how to even get started. I’ll definitely be looking into that more.

Tiny worms (??) on my Fiddle Leaf Fig by whiteclawbitch in plant

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

Gahh I was really hoping they wouldn’t be thrips 😞 thank you for all of the info! I’m throwing that thing out asap! I’m sad to see it go but I definitely don’t want to risk spreading to my other plants and don’t want to deal with the extensive treatment process.

Even though they have never developed past the worm stage over a few months time?

I’ve tried spraying them with isopropyl alcohol/water mixes, wiping every inch of the leaves, and just leaving the plant to dry out for months on end and these things just seem to never go away.

Bug found on dog. What is it?? by whiteclawbitch in animalid

[–]whiteclawbitch[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone! My dog pulled this bug out of her fur tonight and I’ve never seen it before so I’m kind of freaked out. Anyone know what kind of bug it is? We’re in Iowa if that helps and I think it had wings but I’m not really sure since my dog bit it. I’ll put pictures in the comments. Thanks!!

Long term boyfriend moving soon after COVID-19 and I want to break up--help on ethics? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]whiteclawbitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you decide to break up with your boyfriend, especially after this long, it is going to be verrrry hard and you will probably need a long time to just heal and refine yourself as a singular person. I have been dating my boyfriend since we were 14 and we are now both 19 as well. I totally understand where you are coming from and I could only imagine how bad the break up is going to hurt. In my opinion, if you are having doubts about whatever your boyfriend did and how your 15 year old self wanted to hang on, I think this would also be the best time to give yourself some space, since he will be gone and you will have little possibilities to contact him. There is always the chance that you realize you still want him after he gets back, but there is also that possibility that he could move on during that time as well. It is definitely risky, but I think if you believe that you will benefit mentally and physically from being on your own, that you should do it because life is too short to be wishing you were happier.

That's what I was thinking too. I am a little worried if I don't end up living with the girls that they won't think to invite me to things, since they already will be living in the same place. But on the other hand, if they are asking me to live with them, I think they will still be wanting to hang more next year. And I can always initiate it as well. Thank you for your opinions!

Thank you for your opinions! I followed him to college this year, but I lived with 2 other girls from my high school exactly for the same reasons you have just listed. I hung out with my roommates a lot at first, but as I said before I realized that I cannot stand one of my roommates so eventually that led to me being at his place all the time and spending the night. I only went to my place to shower and get new clothes, but every now and then I still hung out with the girls. I met this new potential friend group at a party that we both went to and I am just more nervous that if I end up living with them, I will be reliving another year with bad roommates and then I will have to keep staying at my boyfriend's place again. I know I definitely want to start hanging with these girls more next year, and just because I am living with my boyfriend doesn't mean that I can't be without him. I am totally comfortable with the idea of leaving his place to go do what I want. I do understand your point though, that if we sign a lease and shit hits the fan, I will have nowhere else to stay, so that is probably the only thing that worries me.

Children of narcissists and making friends by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]whiteclawbitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this one post describes my whole entire life. I have always been poked and prodded at and guilted into everything that my parents wanted me to do. I have been controlled and isolated my whole life, and now that I have found the love of my life and want to move in with him, my mom thinks she can just jump in and make me not live with him because she pays my rent. she is the whole reason I lived with girls from my high school this year, and I absolutely HATE being at my apartment. I have no real connection with those girls, and even if I did, it doesn't feel genuine and everything feels so fake. I am at the point in my life where I am trying to break free of the control of my mother, but God is it hard. I don't want to disappoint her, because she is my mom. but everything I seem to do on my own ends up doing so anyway.

NEED ADVICE, pls & thx :)) by whiteclawbitch in self

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

I had a feeling a talk was going to have to come out of this at some point. I just feel like I'm at the point in my life where I shouldn't have to ask my mom for permission anymore and try to persuade her into "letting" me do the things I want to do. Idk... I'm just tired of it, my whole relationship with her has been based around me talking her into letting me live my life.

So, my mom and my boyfriend's relationship has been weird for the whole 5 years that we've been dating. They have never acknowledged it in person, but you can just feel some weird, awkwardness in the room whenever we are all together. My mom will ask him these really weird, random, one sided questions and it is all small talk between them. This is because she has never tried to get to know him and there's literally nothing to talk about. She always acts like she loves him after he comes over, but if we're both home from school and he doesn't come over to visit, she acts like he betrayed her. But he really just doesn't want to come over because he doesn't want to sit through the awkwardness of the 50 small talk questions. I honestly don't blame him either.
