A #10 made his mullet pop!

Honestly really liked the look! We were at a 7 before. Not that you can see from this angle but it made his mullet pop even more.

We took out his leg pompoms because they became a mop with rainy weather.

Sea salt pumpkin in Denton TX TJ Maxx

I didn’t buy it because it’s not my color scheme but maybe one of you wants to go LC hunting. I believe it’s $99. Happy scouting!

Covered baker 💙

The first one I bought arrived broken. I found another seller months later and prayed this one would arrive intact…it did!

Top middle is the new addition - Coastal Blue 💙🌊

33 to 62 lbs in 7 weeks

We’ve nearly doubled our intake weight! His age is still unknown (estimates of 9months to 3 years). He was emaciated when he arrived.

He is ALWAYS hungry but I feel we are at a point where we need to moderate his intake more. How do you keep them busy and not always focused on food?

Whoops, he’s a Goldendoodle (thanks to Embark!)

Thought he was a labradoodle. Whoops, he’s a golden. He has 30 close relatives, 29 of which are golden retrievers. Only one is another Goldendoodle. 0 poodle relatives in Embark. No luck finding littermates or his breeder to figure out his actual birthdate so I guess we’ll be doing the age test as well now. Nothing crazy on his health report. Just one copy of one variant related to liver.

He came in as an emaciated stray so we had no background on him.

Naming schemes

What’s your naming scheme? For me, it’s metals…

Copper - r/w boy
Zinc - r/w girl
Tungsten “Gus” - tri boy

My next will likely be a boy named Oxide.

Unlikely duos

Who is your bassets unlikely buddy? Our basset picked an emaciated doodle as a buddy. Trying our dual swivel leash tomorrow so we’ll see how it goes!

Any Media Arts and Sciences (Education) majors?

Need a new laptop for the Media Arts and Science (education) degree. Getting along fine with a MacBook Neo now for general education requirements. Looking ahead, I'm guessing we'll need a more highly powered computer for some of the upper level courses.

Would prefer to stay with Macs but open to any.

Thoughts?

Foster child denied SSI after “no response”

I have a call to reopen my child’s SSI case this week.

Backstory:

She’s was placed with us years ago and is now in guardianship / no longer in care but still a minor. Her adoption caseworker (on her case for 5+ years) filed her SSI case but left the department after we took guardianship.

I knew the state would receive her check because we receive subsidy support and our income exceeds guidelines. But I was told it was important to file and get her approved before she turned 18 so her support checks would start when her foster care subsidies stopped (in about a year).

I called the SSI department about a month ago to get an update and to make sure her legal name was updated, and they informed me her case was closed/denied due to lack of response this past December- years after initial application. I assume they reached out to the department and the case worker who no longer works there. We have a call this week to reopen the case. She’ll be in an adult guardianship once she turns 18.

Do they keep her old files / paperwork / doctors reports on file? I have more things and diagnoses to add to the list but I don’t have the full case files the way CPS does. Feeling behind because we only have a year before she turns 18 and apparently the last SSI application was open 3 years before closing. I wasn’t prepped to file this myself on her behalf.

Another use for the silicone lids!

These Le Creuset silicone lids came as a three pack of different sizes. The smallest is great for keeping the heat retained on a standard mug size when throat coat tea needs 10-15 minutes to steep.
