I'm almost 8 weeks along, going next month for a heartbeat check and even though I've already been to the OGBYN it still doesn't feel real, I'll look at my belly sometimes and just stare thinking about that there is something the size of a blueberry in there but it doesn't feel real, when does it actually start feeling real? I feel like I'm in a fever dream
I am currently sitting at the vet because my 9 month old decided he wanted to eat something he shouldn't, you know that pellet bedding you can get at Tractor Supply for horses and stuff? I get that as cat litter cuz it's cheap and it works good, I had the bag open in the living room I didn't think anything of it cuz it's wood, he decides it's food so he goes over and starts choking down mouthfuls before I can stop him, he gets like four huge mouthfuls of this pellet horse bedding down before I can stop him so now we're at the vet making sure it's not going to kill him.
This also tells me I need to work more on my leave it and drop it command, normally he's pretty good about dropping things and leaving them but I guess he got so focused on the bedding that he ignored me or just didn't hear me, I still don't understand the appeal of the bedding especially since he had just eaten 15 minutes prior but of course I'm not a dog.
He is very much a scavenger and will eat almost anything he can find, his favorite is chicken turds and it's very hard to get him to leave those alone because they're everywhere.. anyone want to trade pups? LOL
I know it was technically my fault I'm not mad at him, just a bit surprised and thought I would post on here and share, and I guess to recommend not having pellet bedding around your scavengers if they are very determined
I unexpectedly got pregnant, I'm 19 currently 337 lb, I have been trying to lose weight before I got pregnant I lost about 200 lb but now I don't know if I should continue trying to lose weight or not, I am worried I do want to keep the baby even though it was not planned, I just really want to know what I should expect and what I should do, I'm taking a prenatal right now and I'm going to start taking one baby aspirin a day as well, I have a prenatal appointment the 9th of June
I went to the gynecologist yesterday because I had missed my period, it had not crossed my mind that I could be pregnant because we used protection... I guess not enough.
They told me I was pregnant and told me not to take Ibuprofen advil, if I need to take pain medication to take Tylenol in moderation, past that she said to take folic acid and a baby aspirin, I got something with folate in it because I couldn't find folic acid I don't know if that matters.
I still haven't gotten Baby Aspirin because the store is out of stock right now and I only have cash so I can't order.
But past what she told me she didn't tell me anything else but Schedule a ultrasound appointment when I went to the front desk, she asked if I have any questions but with my social anxiety that gets even worse when I'm at a doctor I couldn't get anything out of my mouth in time for her to answer them, I kind of felt rushed but they did have a lot of patience there so I'm not too upset about it.
I'm 19 I'll be 20 next month, my boyfriend does know and now he's talking about marrying me, I'm scared not only because this is my first pregnancy I'm not ready and I have very racist and religious parents, and my boyfriend is black they don't know I'm dating him but I guess they're going to figure it out eventually.
I was told I have to go to the Ogbyn Every four weeks, currently unless something happens I do have full coverage Medicaid so I'm not worried about that, but I don't have a job and I was told by the OGBYN due to family history I shouldn't be lifting more than 20 pounds and I should restrict activity, my family does have to drive me to the doctor because I don't have my license my boyfriend doesn't either find out, I know she's going to be mad at me and probably yell at me but she's going to be safer than my parents, my parents might get physical.
I am overweight I've been trying to lose weight, I'm currently 337 lb, I know that's too big and I have lost 200 lb in the past year and a half but I don't know what's going to happen to the pregnancy due to my current weight, can I still continue to try to lose weight or should I stop?.
Seems Just kind of like a rant And I'm sorry, I just don't know what to do I don't know exactly what to type I'm scared.
Edit: to add that the symptoms I'm currently feeling is really just a tender chest, my bed sucks so I don't know if my back pain is from the pregnancy or the bed or both, I have started to feel a little bit nauseous but it goes away pretty quick and that's only been in the past couple of days but the tender chest is the biggest thing that's bothering me besides feeling stiff in general
Going to stay at my friends for a few days and they have cows, taking my dogs with me since I can and they want me to but he's never seen cows like my older dog has, he's grew up around chickens cats rabbits small dogs goats but never has seen a cow, any tips besides keeping him on a leash? He's good with all of my other animals most of the time just ignored them but the cattle are very nosy and are able to come right up to the house
I have all of the Dutch warmbloods including one of the magic ones, I forget the name of it but it's the yellow and white one when it's in its normal form, so it doesn't matter which horse it goes with because I have all of them and will be getting the second magic Dutch warmblood when it comes out.
This is the current outfit I'm rocking
If I press the pickup button to automatically transport back to the home stable, it kicks me from the game entirely, but if I trailer back to the home stable from any trailer in the game I don't get kicked, I'm confused if this is my device or a bug
Sorry if it spelled wrong my autocorrect hates me.
My game is taking 9,000 years to update so I can't log on until later tomorrow to find out so I was wondering if you guys would tell me if there is a bizarre going on right now, and what kind of horses are in it?
Again I'm sorry for the misspelling
She is a nine week old new zealand, she is opal colored which is the first time I've ever seen this color.
She was given to me along with her brother, they are kept separately right now because neither are fixed, I brought her outside to hang out with me on the couch (don't worry I'm surrounded by a fence she can't get out of and I'm not going to leave her out here, just hanging out out here with her)
It's taken me about a week to get her comfortable with being touched and she decided she wanted to be on my chest today, I'm still not certain on her name I'm thinking about naming her opal, and my fiance wants to name her Bluey
My neighbors have two dogs one is a 9-year-old XL Bully the other one is his son which is a 2-year-old XL Bully American Pitbull cross.
There's a lot of things that go on with that household and those dogs that I don't agree with And stuff but if I named everything then This would just be too long of a post, A gist of it is though is that the 2-year-old is basically crazy the 9-year-old's easy to handle he's chill he's fine, the two-year-old they cannot take outside on a lead because he drags them literally knocks them down and drags them across the yard, so they have to bring a chain into the door hook him to that and just open the door and hope he doesn't snap the chain or collar.
He's got a bunch of other issues but I'm not going to get into those unless you ask me yourself in the comments.
What they have been asking me to help them with and for advice is now the 2-year-old is starting to act aggressive towards the nine-year-old, it started out is just growling and snapping and now it's fully attacking they physically can't get the dogs loose, they said the 9-year-old is listening he's backing off he is behaving but the two year old just continues to attack trying to hurt and kill the other dog, he's already caused the other dog to have to get 35 stitches.
It's to the point they have to pour hot water on the dog To get it off of the older one, they asked me what to do because they know I have experience with big dogs that are reactive, I told them the best thing to do since they live in a camper are not able to put the dogs in crates because there's no room in the camper, and they physically cannot handle the dog that it would be better to rehome the dog to someone that could, they don't want to because they love the dog and want to keep a piece of their older dog when he's gone.
I tried to explain to him what's going to happen That the older dog's lifespan is going to be shortened even more if they continue to keep these dogs Together, because they are eventually going to get in a fight when no one's there or when the husband's not there because the wife is not able to even get out of bed without assistance, I explained to them that they're going to come home to a dead or severely injured dog one day.
But they do not want to get rid of him especially the husband the husband's really the one being stubborn because he loves the dog, I explained to them that I understand that he loves the dog, but it would be in the best interest for both dogs to rehome the two year old, it's an act of love not an act of hate they're not throwing the dog away they're giving it a chance to live a happy life.
They're not understanding What I am talking about, the most that they have done so far is they're starting to try to keep the dogs separate by when they let them outside they will tie one in one spot and the other one Out Of Reach from each other, (no they do not walk their dogs they just tie them outside)
When they leave they are starting to lock the older one in the bathroom but the problem is that bathroom door can be easily torn down because it's just cloth, eventually that's going to happen and it's going to be bad.
I have anonymously called Animal Control but unfortunately they are not doing anything that will make the animal control take the dogs, the dogs are being fed they are being allowed outside on chains that are long enough, they have shelter and water when they do go outside, and inside they technically aren't doing anything illegal, especially since they started trying to separate the dogs so Animal Control is useless right now.
So any kind of advice you guys can give me would be great on how I could continue trying to coach them to get rid of the dog, I've even asked them if they would give it to family where they could go see the dog but they just don't want to, I'm not sure how to continue approaching it if I should go a path that scares them even more or a path that you would take to talk to a 5 year old, or if there should be something a bit more drastic that I personally should do.
Also should add that neither dog is fixed, and they don't want to fix either dog because they believe it's wrong to alter them
My cousin took her kid to a party and this bunny was given to her son as a gift, a few other kids also got baby bunnies as gifts (I know it's horrible) My cousin is very socially awkward so she just took the bunny, but gave it to me because she knows I know how to care for rabbits I personally have two rabbits.
Problem I'm having is I don't know if this is a domestic bunny or a wild bunny, it's very friendly we'll hop up to me take food from me and is affectionate, but it looks strange for a domestic rabbit, I'm posting on here because I only have experience with New Zealand rabbits, while they do come in this color they're built different than a lot of other domestic rabbits.
My cousin was told it was a dwarf that was not told what kind, let me know if this is a wild bunny or not and what I should do, cuz regardless it's apparent it's probably not been in the wild at least not for very long.
I don't know if this sub will allow me to post pictures in the comments but if it will I will post another angle of the bunny there since it won't let me post two images
I usually let my ladies out around 12:00 to 1:00 because I have some that lay later in the day, and they don't like to lay their eggs in the coop if they have another option so I'm leaving them in to make them lay their eggs where I want them, after that I let them out and they get to free range, the whole time they're in the coop they do have access to the run though, I open that up around 8:00 a.m. since none of them want to lay their eggs in the Run fortunately
First time they've ever done this, for some reason the majority of my girls have decided they want to sleep on the ground in the corner of the coop, should I be concerned or are they just being chickens?
Came outside to feathers everywhere, and my Barred Rock roosters back was tore up, he's alive and alert just seems to be really sore, what could have attacked him?
Ulrich is waiting for his next treat, poopup is trying to figure out how to open the door so she can go home.
Ulrich is here for his booster vaccines, and poopup is here for her nail trim and flea treatment.
He will be 9 months old the 10th! And was absolutely perfect today, even when another dog came through the store barking and acting out he didn't really care, he was more concerned about the treat bag lol
It's like just yesterday he could fit in my purse, now he can just about carry me LOL
So apparently Belgian Malinois are pitbulls now, let me tell you what happened.
Currently I'm staying in the area that unfortunately has a breed restriction on pitbulls, they're not all out banned but you have to pay a load of money to have them along with liability insurance.
I was walking my dog And apparently He looks like a pitbull, they called the cops animal control and everything on me saying I had a dangerous dog and that I was harboring a pitbull...
And after being corrected tried to argue with me saying that I'm just lying about the dogs breed so I can have it, I even offered to call the breeder and ask him to email me his papers because I have misplaced mine and don't exactly keep them on me 24/7...... they said that they would probably be falsified if he did email me anything.
Like I get the hate for a pitbull, no one that is not capable should have one, but it just goes to show how ignorant people are to dog breeds if they confused a Malinois with a pitbull.
and no this is not me hating on a pit bull I actually like the breed when bred properly, and with the correct owners (have to say this part otherwise I get yelled at by people saying I'm bashing a dog breed that I don't know anything about)
I was unsure of what post flair to put.
I have a 8-month-old dalgian Malinois and a 3-year-old mixed breed, both of them wear muzzles, one of them wears it because they will eat literally anything they can get their mouth on, the other one simply just for the intimidation Factor, they both were trained to wear them also for emergency situations if they got very injured and lashed out of pain.
I have been told by both people in person and people from this sub that I should not be using a muzzle on my dog unless they are aggressive, it is frankly getting annoying because I have had 15 DMs this week from people telling me that I should not have a muzzle on my dog, and if my dog needs a muzzle then they should not be in public, one of them even said my dogs shouldn't be alive if they need a muzzle....
Please give me your responses to this, because I know a lot of people that say this sometimes truly don't know, so I want to be able to show them how many people use a muzzle for non-aggressive dogs.
I promise you the black stripe is completely natural, I did not put it there it was born with that
