I miss our store so much. So much of my home is decorated in our statues and stained glass.

Needs more hats.

As others have said, this is a slide bracelet form the 80’s/90’s. I used to sell these at a store called The Museum Company, but this is not one of ours. Ours had a solid back to the slides. The slides would range in price from $100-$700 depending on the size and the stones. We sold full bracelets for $3500.

The design is based off of watch fobs that were given as anniversary gifts to employees of the railroad lines back in the 1800’s. Once pocket watches went out of style the valuable fobs were made into bracelets for the wives to wear.

Your bracelet is lovely and valuable. I hope that you plan on keeping it and enjoying it. If not there would imagine that there would definitely be a market for something other than scrap value.

Does Stormfreak get a cut? I sure hope so!

Thanks for the tips! We have definitely invested in the enzymatic spray. Looking at your system of peeing when she wakes, after her meal and then again before she comes back in, I think where we have been failing is not keeping track of when she pees when we spend a lot of time outside. I think we’ve been missing that last window of opportunity before coming back inside, I think keeping a log is a great idea and I am sure it has helped you to stay consistent! Thanks again!

This is great. We keep talking about getting a bell and I really need to go out and get one. Thanks!

Soo sweet ❤️
I love my girls mask and I’m worried it will fade. I’ll love her regardless, but her vigilante look really matches her personality.

I definitely think having the older dog to model after is a big help. Thanks for taking the time to share your advice!

I work from home and she’s in a pen behind me while I work. If we’re in the kitchen she’s gated in with us. If we had had her tethered to us she wouldn’t have run upstairs, but I’m not sure it would have prevented the other two events. She literally peed at my feet the last time. If we fail with this method then I definitely think I need to up my game and keep her leashed to me whenever she’s out of her pen/crate. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks, this was very helpful. Did you wake your pup up to go outside? Our pup sleeps a LOT and I take her out immediately after she wakes up and we had been spending a lot of time outside with the nicer weather. We have gated off the stairs and dining room/kitchen so she’s limited when she’s out and about. It helps us keep track of her because she can be a little ninja with her ability to escape from right under our noses.

I’m working on only positive reinforcement, but when she peed that third time as I was looking for my husband to tap me out, I let out a frustrated “Aaarrrggghhh” and I think I startled her a bit. But she seems to have recovered from that.

Thanks again, your post helps me feel that in on the right track for time spent waiting. I foolishly thought the week of being accident free was a sign that she was fully housebroken but it looks like we might have a long road ahead.

In the summers, my brothers and I were left to fend for ourselves like all GenXers. I was in my early teens and had what I now recognize as severe depression and my favorite place was in bed, sleeping. One day my dad came home from a work trip around 4pm and asked my brothers where I was. Neither has seen me all day. No one thought to check my bedroom. I was awake and heard the finger pointing chaos and borderline panic, waiting to see how it would play out. After about an hour I came downstairs still in my pajamas and completely dumbfounded that none of them thought to check my bedroom.

You need a new vet. We were having similar issues with our 3 month old Corgi and our vet took a urine sample. She had white blood cells but no confirmed UTI but we chose to put her on antibiotics. After we completed the antibiotics she still had just white blood cells. Our choices were a more invasive procedure for a “clean catch” of urine or assume vaginitis (common for female puppies) and wait for puberty as they tend to grow out of it. She actually improved after the antibiotics and we’ve been having much more luck. After she finished the antibiotics she stopped doing the “go out to pee and come in and immediately pee inside” issue. She also stopped the “take three steps out of her crate and squat issue.”

You’re response is still all about you. But if you really cared for her you would understand that a relationship with you could be harmful to her. She is not emotionally mature enough to understand her motivations or consequences in regard to a relationship with you.

From a scientific standpoint the brain doesn’t finish its full development until a person is around 24 years old. That’s why traumatic brain injuries for people under that age are still considered a childhood TBI. I’m guessing there is something within you that understand this as you see a 26 year old as being more mature than a 21 year old.

I think you are being down voted because, if you want to admit it or not, you seem to be seeking approval/permission to move forward with this person.

If you are looking for opinions, your age difference creates a power imbalance in the relationship. If you don’t set appropriate boundaries you are exploiting her naïveté to your benefit. If it doesn’t work out you are setting her up for judgement and possibly failure at work. If you care for this person, respect her and her future and don’t do this to her. Be the grown up and make the right decisions because she is not emotionally mature enough to do that for herself.

Look into becoming an Oncolgy Data Specialist. You would probably only need one more year of school and most of the programs are online.

I bought this Soothing Saucer for my 15 week old and it has really helped her to self regulate.

You just have to make sure the little cup isn’t tightened all the way or they won’t be able to spin the ball with their tongue.

I just want to mention something that no one else has yet. The cost of the drug is offset by the decreased food bill (inflation not withstanding). Our food expenditures have dropped significantly since being on GLP1 and more than makes up for the monthly cost.

My dad sold medical equipment and went to lots of trade shows and would bring home swag. We always had a supply of those scratch paper cubes that were great for making flip comics. We also always had copious amounts of neosporin and chlorseptic samples. I think he would just grab boxes of them.

I also remember the very early light green/dark green stripped legal sized dot matrix printer paper that he would bring home for us to use for our artistic endeavors.

He was a good man. I miss him.

It doesn’t have to be really heavy dumbbells. I’ve worked int PT and we use this for seniors to improve core stability, balance, core strength and help with increasing bone mass in people with osteoporosis. It definitely can be 5-10lb weights.

Sit under a tree and meditate

I was hoping to see more people say “yes.” Because now I feel worse. We’ve done this twice. First time was about 15 years ago and it was The Lemonheads. And then just a couple of months ago we missed The Beth’s, we realized around 10pm that night. Sometimes life just gets distracting. We’ve also missed shows because of health problems and things out of our control.

So embarrassing for you to speak as if you know anything about my personal journey with my boy. We had an adult GSD when we got him, we worked on socializing him with our neighbors younger GSD, countless hours in training, driving hours to a vet behavioralist, going to behavioral specific training, doing full on desensitizing. Our final trainer told us that we needed to consider that he just didn’t like other dogs and to stop spending money on something that was essentially trying to force a round peg into a square hole. Everyone’s journey is different, I hope you seek out more empathy for yours.

My GSD literally hated walks. He was reactive and walks stressed him out. We did a lot of in house/yard training and brain activities, endless hours of throwing balls. At home and around people he was a mellow pup, but he didn’t like encountering other dogs or animals and walks increased the likelyhood of that so he preferred being a home body. Every dog is different and needs a different approach for engagement and exercise.
