Every time I go to put Moonpie to bed he takes the opportunity to get mad at one of his toys lol. I have no idea why he does this at bedtime.

Hello,

This past October, we adopted a rescue dog — a 9-pound Pomeranian mix estimated to be between one and one and a half years old. As expected with a rescue, she wasn’t housebroken. She came pee-pad trained, but would only pee on the pad, never poop on it. Since my husband didn’t want pee pads in the house long-term, we removed them and started training her to go outside.

She’s doing well with peeing outside as long as I take her out regularly — but if I miss a window, she’ll pee in the house.

Figuring out when she needs to poop has been the real challenge. She doesn’t go within 15–30 minutes of eating, or even within an hour. I’ve been tracking her eating and pooping schedule, and so far it’s been completely irregular.

We tried crating her in the mornings until she pooped, and again in the evenings, but she just holds it or has an accident in the crate (it’s properly sized — I researched that carefully, and I’ve house-trained dogs before, so I know what I’m doing there).

At this point, I’m just tracking her eating and pooping to look for a pattern, but beyond that, I’m not sure what else to try.

I feel like my tank is missing something on the right front. Even the back. (I’ve had bad luck with plants I’ve put in the back for some reason)

I also want a ground cover but don’t have C02. I hate the tiny colored rocks. I didn’t clean it out well enough when I got it. :/

This is a beta fish tank with Amano shrimp.

I heard these two in my front yard this evening. I’m guessing barred owls?

I have the rev air and just started using it on my girls to dry their hair before I braid it. My dilemma is their hair isn’t as slick as I want it to be. I moisturize it well before I dry it, but it doesn’t feel moisturized after I’m done blow drying their hair.

Maybe I’m just expecting too much?

Do you braid your hair wet or dry? If you braid it dry what kind of products do you use after you dry it?

Picture is of my oldest right after I got done braiding her hair. I’m not the best at parting. (I’m still working on getting better.)

Hello,

We adopted Nyxie 9 months ago. She’s a Pomeranian/Shih Tzu mix (with some Chihuahua, German Shepherd, and cocker spaniel mixed in) and was about 1-1.5 years old at adoption.

She came pee pad trained, but we’ve since removed the pads since we want her going outside. Peeing outside isn’t an issue — she rarely has accidents. But she will not poop outside. Ever.

What I’ve tried:

**•**	Bells and buttons — she’s scared of them  
**•**	Crate training — she’s crate trained and comfortable in it, but it hasn’t helped with this  
**•**	Watching her cues — she only runs to the door if I stand up; otherwise she just finds a spot inside

Current approach: switching from free-feeding to two set meals a day (20 min, then remove the bowl), then taking her out 15-30 minutes after eating to try to catch the poop window.

If this doesn’t work, I’m out of ideas. My husband is patient but this is really wearing on him. Giving her up isn’t on the table — we’re just hoping someone has advice or can relate. I’ve read small breeds can be trickier to potty train — anyone dealt with this?

It’s not often I get a good picture of his crest.

My local shelter just suffered a fire a few weeks ago. Luckily their building is find but they lost a lot of their supplies. All animals had to be removed and put in foster homes and are just now being trickled back into the shelter.

They are fundraising for next 24 hours. Please consider helping me fund raise for them. Anything helps.
