what's the best place to get fairy garden accessories? i want fall/halloween themed accessories if that helps!
it can't be anything too large because my space is 8x8 inches at the base, but i'm going to have plants in it, so they do need to be something i can see. (the supplies are for a fall fairy garden themed high humidity terrarium)
first, to address why she looks so sad, i accidentally woke her up from her nap
i likely wont do another update until monday (its saturday here, but unless something happens i’ll wait on updating) but she’s officially off her pain meds! (they made her tummy not feel great) but she’s clearly much more comfortable!
she’s trying to chew on stuff (she’s a big chewer unfortunately,) so now all toys are put away when she cant be supervised, which means her brother cant play either.
she decided since she cant play with toys, she found some cardboard from something i was working on, not sure how she got it because it was INSIDE a pair of pants. (unsupervised because i was in the restroom) and turns out she now likes cardboard…
she would like some pets from whoever is reading by the way!
edit: thank you to whoever gave my post a reward!
edit: 11 hours later, she threw up, (less this time) we’re going to try again to soften her food and hope she eats it
i don't want to have to buy treats because not only are they expensive, but i also want to know what i'm giving my dogs. i know they don't last as long because they won't have artificial preservatives, and/or need to be in the fridge or freezer.
does anyone have recipe ideas? (ideally something that i can bake and they last a little while)
other than broth (including bone broth) even if there's no additional additives, and chicken, they have no dietary restrictions.
so i want to take my dog to a different vet for a dental (way better price for the same care) and i know they’ll reach out to our current vet for records. if your client went to a different vet for something, would you stop treating the client/not allow the owners to come back? (this is just a general question, but i need advice, im scared we won't be allowed to go back to our normal vet)
i posted about her tooth the other day, but for context, she came in muddy so i grabbed a towel off one of the ottomans, didn't realize my dad was going to wipe her paws, so i leaned on my elbow as i sometimes do, i felt something sharp stab be in the arm, looked down to check what was there and i found her tooth (bottom incisor)
Species: canine
Age: between 9-12
Sex/Neuter status: spayed female
Breed: dachshund, chihuahua, and minpin mix (main breeds)
Body weight: ~15 pounds
History: just GI issues, but her tooth fell out at some point
Clinical signs: just teeth falling out
Duration: don't know when it happened, likely a bit ago (few weeks to a month because her teeth are moving a bit)
Your general location: washington state
Links to any test results, X-rays, vet reports etc. that you have: none
so i have a rescue mix, mostly dachshund, chihuahua, and minpin. (between 9 and 12 years old is what we believe,) i just found one of her teeth on one of the towels we have out on one of our ottomans. the root looks fine (i believe, not great though) she chews on her bones pretty rough, there's no blood in her mouth, but her mouth will bleed sometimes if she chews on them for too long and too rough. she also uses her front teeth to throw her bones off the ottoman... she finds it fun sometimes. (she brings multiple on the ottoman and throws them off.) she's 15 pounds and she's spayed
i looked in her mouth, one of her bottom incisors (i think it's one of the incisors, but i could be wrong... just a guess because i can't see any other missing teeth) is missing. in the third picture you can see it. first picture is the tooth, second is her mouth.
before anyone asks, we have towels because she often gets SUPER dirty playing outside, but she also likes rolling around on them, my dachshund does too, just not as much/often as her.
edit: i change my mind, the tooth doesn't look good... at all
edit 2: she has a history of GI issues, could that be related at all? also, vet has NEVER mentioned her teeth for some reason, not sure why
(i was looking at her teeth which is why i have that picture)
the only acceptable pictures i get of them is when theyre asleep im sorry 😅
before someone says anything, no he is NOT fat, our vets and the techs are very happy about his weight. i just want to show off my little velcro boy!
Species: canine
Age: unknown, likely between 9-11/12 years
Sex/Neuter status: spayed female
Breed: mix breed
Body weight: ~15 pounds
History: always had GI issues, but it's under control, she's on a prescription diet
Symptoms: clear eye discharge/slightly runny eyes after playing in the dirt
Living conditions: very clean environment when indoors, none of our plants she can get to. all furniture and bedding is cleaned at least monthly.
i cleaned her eyes so off i have no images to show, but i just want to know if having a bit of discharge is a worry? it's always completely clear, her eyes aren't red, swollen, irritated, or anything else.
she rolls around in the dirt a lot (including rubbing her face in it because she finds it fun,) so she gets it in her eyes sometimes. whenever she goes to the vet they find no issues with her eyes, perfect sight, no scarring, healthy retinas, no redness, nothing. i just want to know if it's normal and if it's just her body trying to get the dirt out of her eyes. it isn't pus or anything like that, it's just a tiny bit of clear discharge/runniness, her eyes aren't irritated or anything, we've gone even when her eyes are a bit gross and they have no worries, but i want another opinion. any advice is also greatly appreciated! (please be nice, i'm just trying to understand)
we have a reasonably sized fenced in yard that she can go into, (she's out a lot on warm days laying and playing in the dirt, or laying on the outdoor furniture, which is also very clean) but she comes inside when she wants, her only issue is the eye discharge. her living environment is very clean, we have indoor plants but nothing toxic or that she can get to.
more under a year pics! (covering legs too cuz people online are weird)
edit: just so people know, i'm not posting a person without permission that was me when i was little
the first image was the day we got him (if i'm remembering correctly) vs my baby now!
edit: incase anyone is wondering, the tan dog in the second images is my rescue dog (his sister but not by blood)
not the most cursed, but still cursed.
i have an 8 year 3 mo old male dachshund (born april 15 2008), and we got him at 10 weeks old, not sure the exact date. we've tried ignoring him, calm greetings, worked on simple obedience training, and even trying to distract him while people come in.
my dachshund has been submissive peeing as long as we've had him, and likely before we got him. (he wasn't well bred, we didn't know he was a puppy mill dog for a while until people figured out the place we got him got dogs from mills.) he does it when he's excited, he's upset, he's happy, nervous, if he even SEES a person he really (so again, being excited,) hearing someone at the door, someone comes into the house, etc, he just pees! he doesn't have accidents, it's just submissive peeing! he's gotten a TINY bit better after 8 years, but only the tiniest bit, it's driving my parents absolutely insane, it's a bit annoying to me, but it doesn't upset me really. i've heard there's ways to make it stop through training, but stuff doesn't work for my family.
if this changes anything, he does have bad anxiety (he's on meds and it's really helped, meds did help a bit with the peeing,) and he does have a sensitive back along with a back injury if that changes what we need to do to work on his issue. he does better with positive reinforcement, he doesn't react well to punishment at all.
we've taken him to professional training and that's helped him be less reactive, be more confident, walk better on leash, and helped with basic obedience, he even has better recall now, but the submissive peeing hardly got better when the training if has even at all. any advice helps!
so i worship lilith (as people can see in my recent posts if you look) and i'm building an alter for her, but i want to learn more about her. does anyone have resources i can use to learn more about her and her affect on astrology? (my lilith sign is in capricorn, but i'm an aries if that information is helpful in any way.)
i've posted on the alter subreddit, but i decided i should also come here for advice because it's for mother Lilith, and i have some questions about how to do it/what to do.
i'm a minor and still live with my parents, but i'm interested in making my first alter, i have a lot of crystals and i collect them, so maybe i can include crystals in my alter, and what crystal(s) to add to it? i need it to be something small and nothing too distracting as i don't want to draw attention to it. i have a cubby shelf and i'm planning on somehow making one of the cubbies into an alter. i can't spend too much money on it, so i have to mostly i use what i have. i have a crystal shaped as a cobra (soapstone if i'm remembering correctly), and i know one of her symbols is a serpent, including it should be acceptable correct? (i will talk to her when i get the chance)
if it changes any advice people give, i can't offer alcohol, apples, oil, etc, the only things i can offer to her would be rose petals if i can get any. i can't include candles as it may seem suspicious, i can't use a black feather or any other feathers because it's illegal where i am to even be in possession of them, but just like the candles, it would be suspicious. any advice helps!
does anyone have advice or ideas for how to set up a discrete alter for her?
edit: my parents know i want to have a spiritual space in my room (i'm hoping doing so will help with my mental health), so some things related to spirituality would be fine.
edit 2: i found an alter table (witches alter table specifically) and i'm going to buy it!
i'm interested in creating my first alter, specifically for Lilith. i love and collect crystals so i was wondering if anyone had ideas on what crystal or crystals to add to the alter? i want my alter to be something small by the way, nothing big or distracting. i can't spend too much money either as i'm a minor.
i'm planning to set up an alter or some sort of worship section in my room for her, i obviously want it to be related to witchcraft, any ideas for offerings to her or ideas to make her alter really show her i worship her or ideas for the alter in general? i do collect crystals and i want to add at least one crystal to the alter, what crystal(s) and/or other things should i add to her alter?
(i read the rules, i'm really hoping this post is allowed considering it isnt fully witchcraft related.)
