Thank you. My parents are caring for her for me during her recovery and apparently she has her energy back and went right back to being an absolute menace.

I’m so sorry that happened. I was incredibly concerned when my dog’s vomit started smelling foul. It was only bile, thank God. I get to give my carpets a thorough scrubbing while my pup is away recovering. My parents were kind enough to take her in for a while for her recovery so I can get the rest I need and get some much-needed chores done. She was sick off and on for almost a week before her symptoms got bad enough to warrant a vet visit and I barely slept in that time. I should have taken her to the vet sooner, but she wasn’t acting truly sick until day 5. Until then she just puked every so often and I figured she ate something gross outside or wasn’t eating enough because she was eating so much snow. When she turned her nose at chicken and rice, I panicked. That’s her favorite meal.
Wonder if they were talking about my dog. If so, I’m inclined to believe she is kinda dumb lol.
I feel like Loss has to be in here somewhere
Go big or go home?
I troubleshoot a VPN connection for a man who does his work from a Dunkin at least once a week. He doesn’t even drink coffee or eat donuts. He just hangs out there and works until his VPN breaks.
Yeah. I didn’t have to use it, thankfully. The surgery was only $1300. Turns out she deflated and swallowed her fave squeaky toy.
I work in a super high stress job and I’m doing really well and idk how I’m thriving like this. Every day brings a new nightmare and I take almost all of it in stride.
Oh yeah. COVID was the worst. Some funny things came out of it, though. My grandma adopted a dog during the pandemic and I jokingly said she should name the dog Rona, short for Coronavirus. She fuckin did. The dog’s full name is Rona Jean Nelson. Nelson is the last name of the fictional black man my grandma said she was engaged to to piss off our racist extended family. The dog goes crazy if you sing to her “Roni Toni Sliced Baloney!”
My parents got a dog in 2020 and she is incredibly wary of people and other dogs because she couldn’t get socialized. My parents can’t have guests the dog doesn’t already know. She’s a great dog, just anxious because she didn’t get the exposure she needed as a puppy because of the pandemic.
My dogs love other dogs, but other dogs tend not to like them because my beagle screams really loud when excited and my mini goldendoodle tries to make beagle noises and it comes out kinda scary sounding lol
My mom was fine and the family with the dalmatian moved shortly after. My dog was the cutest lil guy and loved everything except other dogs. He despised them all aside from 2 specific dogs. His fave thing was interacting with human babies. He broke out of the yard more than once to go visit the neighbors after they had a baby.
Had a Maltipoo as a kid and a dalmatian went after my mom once and my lil 5lb fluff ball went after that dalmatian with a FURY. He chased the dalmatian into a ditch and broke its leg in like 3 places. The owner of the dalmatian tried to get my mom to pay for vet bills and my mom told them to fuck off because their dog tried attacking her.
I’m the same way and I just had to sign up for a credit card specifically for vet bills because my dog needs emergency surgery. The vet told me the specific card isn’t super predatory or whatever, but I didn’t really have any time to think things over. I just want my dog better, and I know that I can’t afford it on my own rn.
She’s doing well. She seems to have gotten over the grief better than the rest of us. She’ll talk about her brother sometimes, but doesn’t bring him up often because she knows that the rest of us are still grieving him. He isn’t dead, but the loss feels the same
I will! I’m hoping to be able to go out and at least say hello to her some time this week, but that depends on the weather and how my dog is doing. My dog is really sick and I’m rushing her to the vet in a few mins. :(
She’s wearing the horse equivalent of a coat. I got it for her last month. It matches her halter lol.
I’m not a parent, but my little sister was adopted. The worst experience of the whole process was losing my sister’s little brother. The boy was a foster child and my sister had just been adopted at the time and the judge presiding over the boy’s case decided he didn’t wanna go through the evidence and sent the poor kid back to his abusive bioparents. It tore my family apart to lose him and my parents divorced a year later. My sister didn’t understand why her little brother was taken away and I was crushed and haven’t fully recovered, and that was 18 years ago. I always tell people who are fostering/adopting in the US to be prepared for heartbreak because apparently this kind of thing is very common. They don’t care about keeping siblings together, and jokes of judges can damn a child to more abuse.
Yeah. Horses can tolerate pretty cold temps, especially if they have blankets on. I don’t do anything with the horses below that, though. Some people work with horses at temps as low as 25F, but that’stoo cold for that imo.
Started using loops yesterday. The only thing I’d like is to sort by genres or search for subjects. I know it’s in early access though
