One of my childhood dogs was euthanized due to aggressive behavior that my family didn't know how to control. He was a very large, dangerous dog with some feral or wolfy lineage and my parents and the vet decided that he wasn't safe to keep (we lived on a remote cattle ranch, it was about as...

I never removed my fish from the tank while cleaning. I scrubbed the algae while the fish were in the tank still and never did complete water changes. Some bettas like a tiny bit of salt in their water. If everything else seems to be in order (tbh I'd be more worried about the ammonia in...

Oh Finn. Handsome as ever. Happy birthday!

Siege was such a perfect addition for you and Trent. I love those two. Great pictures!

BC politics are ****ing dumb and I feel dumb for having participated in them in the past. The smooth gene is pretty simple but you'll not get smooth puppies out of two rough parents, so keep that in mind when you're searching for the right litter. Even two smooths bred together (iirc) can...

I am slain. I want to do this but there are no local chazzers to sit around the computer and get drunk with me.

1.) Whippet, because they're relatively quiet, short coated, athletic enough to keep up with me but an ideal energy level for me as a young adult working fulltime. I may do coursing and agility with a Whippet but honestly I think the dog would mostly be my companion. 2.) Doberman Pinscher...

I'd like to participate this year.

I've met Skittledoo for a couple hours when she picked up baby Cricket. I'm a huge introvert. Lots of chazzers I'd love to spend face time with, but factoring in distance and my lack of social skills, I tend to stay home. :p

The medication I was given works, I am not manic in the slightest because I am too exhausted to leave my bed. I am not even at the full dose and AFTER sleeping for 14 hours, I had to sit down in the shower today because I nearly lost consciousness. Every time I stand up and walk, I get a cold...

They aren't hospitalizing me and the doctor I saw was able to immediately start me on medications that he thinks will help me. Also may be able to return to work with his release, so I'm feeling really light and hopeful.

Finally processed for intake to get help for my mental health. This stuff is scary and I hope they don't want to hospitalize me. I went crazier than I have in a long time but as I escaped to the country, I found a little clarity and realized I'm probably not strong enough to deal with my crazy...

Eve misses her Twinnegan!

Flat collar, convertible leather leash, leash is removed as soon as it's safe to do so as she's reliable offlead. When she was working, she wore a harness with the leather lead strapped over my shoulder, and a gentle leader on a very thin kangaroo lead which stayed looped around my wrist or...

Awful. In the beginning, mild anxiety with the noise directly overhead, but otherwise no ****s given. As she approaches her senior years, it's honestly a real problem. Fireworks, gunshots and thunderstorms trigger a compulsive panicked digging/chewing escape type behavior that has become...
