Anyone else's pitbull flap his cheeks and makes kite noises when he's sleeping?

When my pitbull is asleep and dreaming, he'll do the literal cartoon bulldog snore from those loony tunes. It's the strangest thing. Sounds like a kite flapping in the wind.

Quick tips for non food-motivated dog handlers

If your dog is not food-motivated, check three different things. First, the food; if your dog food is bland, dry, and contains fillers without actual meat or it says "meat meal," "meat byproduct, or any other meat + other word combination, it's not actually straight muscle meat, it's organs or plant substitutes which I'm not saying is bad at all, but it still usually lacks pure muscle meat. This can make your picky dog less willing to eat it than if it was something like dehydrated or freeze dried meat. If that's the case, the texture or taste can be unappetizing for your dog. Wet food is one dollar a can, so it's not exactly expensive if you want to switch.

Second, the access. If I gave you fifty dollars everyday for no reason, but suddenly made you run for a mile just to get it, you probably wouldn't do it. It's the same for your dog because it gets food everyday and it starts to become just an everyday thing. Instead, start using their daily meal portions as training treats. It might take them a while to get used to it, but that's okay.

Lastly, the bowl. If you don't clean your dogs bowl ever, it can create a buildup of bacteria and foul smelling leftovers. It's not fun to eat from a dirty dish everyday. It can also be harmful because it's like a nest for illnesses like salmonella. It takes a couple seconds and zero dollars to wash a bowl but it takes hundreds to even thousands of dollars for a vet trip depending on where you live.

I'm a minor under the legal age for EBIKE use. I have POTS, a condition that makes physical exercise a struggle for me and potentially causes loss of consciousness, nausea, and discomfort. I love to bike but always turn back before I make it to where I want to go. I can't get a wheelchair because my parents can't get one now. I just want to be able to go places without having to continuously lay down until I feel better. Would a verbal statement and photos of my heart rate spikes be enough evidence, or would I need a doctor's note?
