Ross (aka Rossy, Rossy-Roo, Ross-a-Roni, Ross-topher) has been looking for his home since Valentine’s Day and he is ready to find his fur-ever home!

This boy walks beautifully on a leash, is crate trained AND fully potty trained; he uses bells, and can navigate a doggy door with ease. He would love a home with someone(s) home more often than not, and an outside space he can safely be off leash. I think he would prefer a home with another dog, but as he gains more confidence I could see him being ok without another k9 companion. He currently lives in an apartment with a smaller dog & 2 cats (one senior, 8y, one kitten, 9m). While he would love his own yard, he does currently reside in an apartment and does well with lots of long line exercise at a nearby park.

He is very food motivated and I could see him learning some really fun tricks. Currently he knows: sit, down, come, off, back, drop it & leave it (when he wants to 😉), and more! We have been working on a place command & paw.

He loves snuffle mats and puzzle feeders, hard chews and lick mats, tearing up cardboard (supervised only!), playing fetch and tug, and running around like a baby deer who just learned how to walk. His favorite toys currently are a jolly balls and oinking/quacking rubber toys. He loves to play fetch and I’m trying to teach him how tug works!

He’s come such a long way, but will need a patient understanding home to allow him to decompress & bond with you. He would not currently do well with young children (10+ only!), though I think that could change with enough forethought, exposure, and management.

He still has a good amount of fear towards strangers, but we are working on it and making progress every day.

If interested in meeting Ross, come see us at Feeders Pet Supply on Richmond road tomorrow, August 8th from 12-2! You can apply to adopt through Paws 4 the Cause (paws4thecause.com).

about a year ago I dropped a small figurine on my foot. I only recall it damaging my big toe, which blood pulled at the base (where the crescent is) and has finally almost completely grown out. It took a while. I have asked the doctor (PCP and dermatologist) and they think it’s still just that.

About 3 months ago my second toe felt really swollen, red, and “healing wound pain” (IYKYK). I went to urgent care thinking I might have gout, family history, but that was ruled out. I was advised to soak in epsom salt 3x a day and then apply mupirocin cream. I did that for a couple days and it resolved. Photo 2 (also shows some of the before blood blister grow out).

Now I’m noticing the same “healing wound pain” sensation but not feeling swollen. And it looks like my toenail is peeling - the white spot on the right side of my second toe.

Does this look like anything to anyone-fungal infection or something? Does it warrant a podiatrist appointment? I will probably make an appointment regardless. But would love to have an idea of what’s going on first. I don’t go get pedicures or interact with anything sharing space with random feet. But I do use nippers to get hard dead skin and I do not (I’ll add it to my list going forward) really ever clean them. At most an alcohol swipe along the blades if I accidentally cut myself.

Thanks!

I’ve been fostering Ross (aka Rossy, Rossy-Roo, Ross-a-Roni, Ross-topher) since Valentine’s Day and he is ready to find his fur-ever home! He’s come such a long way, but will need a patient understanding home to allow him to decompress & bond with you. He would not currently do well with young children (though I think that could change with enough forethought, exposure, and management). He has only just recently started coming to me, tail wagging, asking for pets, which is a BIG deal and so special to receive an invitation. 🥰

This boy walks beautifully on a leash and is making strides to overcome his fear of new people. He is crate trained AND fully potty trained; he uses bells, and can navigate a doggy door with ease. He would love a home with someone(s) home more often than not (no 40 hour crate weeks for this sweet boy!), and an outside space he can safely be off leash. I think he would prefer a home with another dog, but as he gains more confidence I could see him being ok without another k9 companion. He resides with cats well, but takes every opportunity he can to eat cat poop and cat food. 🙃

That said, he is food motivated and learning new things every day. He’s mastered sit, come, off, can usually follow an “around” command to get unwrapped from trees, and knows “lay down” as well, for rest time. We are currently practicing heel & down—which he almost has!

He loves snuffle mats and puzzle feeders, hard chews and lick mats, tearing up cardboard (supervised only!), playing fetch and tug, and running around like a baby deer who just learned how to walk. His favorite toys currently are a soccer jolly ball and oinking/quacking rubber toys.

If interested, come see us at Feeders Pet Supply on Richmond road July 4th from 12-3! We may not be there the entire three hours. You can apply to adopt through Paws 4 the Cause.

My buddy Ross is still up for adoption through Paws 4 the Cause. He’s around a year old, 55 lbs, doing very well with training, leash manners, and is fully potty trained. He needs an adopter who understands he needs extra patience while building a bond. He would love a home with secure outside space where he can be safely off leash, have another dog friend, and no small children (he is currently scared of them but I do believe he could learn to love children eventually). He is crate trained but would need a home where someone is home often and not being crated 40+ hours a week. Feel free to ask any questions below or send me a message! This sweet goofy boy would love to find his furever home. ❤️

I rent and my landlord sucks… I’ve had issues off and on since I moved in 5 years ago. This system is in a large closet. I have noticed that the closet it’s in is very cold or hot depending on the system running, and is leaking air inside the purple circled parts. Is it ok to tape this seam? I don’t have actual aluminum tape so I would be using duct tape. Or I also have painters tape. The door to this closet is in the center of my “shotg u n” apartment, and the door has vents cut out in the top and bottom sections, but I usually have the door wide open anyway.

-When I first moved in the duct (photo 2, rigid metal) had lots of condensation. They wrapped it with this reflectix material. I was still having issues so they “patched” the huge hole (photo 3) to the attic which I assumed is why the condensation problem occurred. It’s mostly been fine til last summer.

-October 2024 we had our roof replaced. I was told they installed more ventilation. Last summer, one of the vents at the extreme end of my apartment leaked water from it. I presume there is little to no attic insulation, but it’s weird this started after the roof replacement. If you have thoughts on that, I’d love them as well!

-Nothing is actually touching any components of this, even though it looks like it. But if this is too crowded, please also let me know!

I have a an almost 6 month kitten who I was told a while ago needed GI food for diarrhea (but that she also had a dull coat that could be explained by GI issues). Diarrhea has cleared but she still seems “dull” in appearance. Show me your orange babies so I can see how she compares!

Kind of a big fumble, no?
