Hello!
I have to travel for work and am brining my puppy. I'll have him in a crate for part of the day, but I want to bring my blink camera so I can watch him. Does anyone know if this will work? I've read online that I need a portable router. Does anyone have any tips or advice? Thanks!!

Hi everyone!
I adopted a mini and am new to this breed!
I had a 15 year old cat who recently passed and was (and still am) heartbroken because she was with me since she was 6 months old. My husband surprised me with the cutie above shortly after she passed, because he knew I was struggling.
Anyways, I was told he's a sable mini long hair. I'm just wondering if he is? Thank you!
Hi everyone!
New here!
A few weeks ago, I lost my 15 year old cat Mittens unexpectedly and super suddenly. I was struggling really bad because I'd had her since she was 6 months and was with me through so much.
My sweet husband bought me a 9 week old mini dachshund to try to help, because he knew I couldn't have another cat but also knew I always wanted a dachshund.
I've had one dog before but he was already trained. To say I have NO idea what I'm doing is an understatement. 🥲
We live in an apartment and since he isn't fully vaxed yet, only take him out on the patio. I bought puppy pads and some fake grass to put out there. I bring him out after he naps, eats, drinks, plays, pretty much as much as I can. I work from home so it's a bit easier. He goes outside if I bring him out mostly. We've only had him for about a week and a half. In the beginning, he wouldn't go outside at all, and would instantly go when we got back inside. He's gotten a little better about it, but sometimes if I stay out there hoping he will go, he'll get distracted and eat the fake grass pad, puppy pad, whatever he can. Sometimes if I know he has to go but he won't, i'll bring him in the crate for like 10 min and bring him back out. Sometimes he goes, sometimes not. When he does go outside, we praise with treats. I put him on a leash and try that way but all he does is chew it. Try without the leash and he just gets distracted.
I'm just looking to see if anyone has any advice? I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but I also know he's a puppy. And omg, he pees and poops so much! Any kind of potty training tips 1000% appreciated! Thank you all!!
My husband will walk by me and grab my boobs or vagina. I've told him I don't mind it once in a while, but it is constant. I'll be sitting on the couch or a chair and he'll move my shorts and just start rubbing it. I usually just block it out and don't react, but today he walked by me and grabbed my boobs again and said "what do you think about that?" To which I clamly replied with "it doesn't matter bc i've told you before but you keep doing it." He got pissed. I told him it'd be nice if he like hugged me, said he loved me, rubbed my head/back. And he went into instant defense mode and was like "i rubbed your back yesterday morning when you said it hurt for like 5 minutes." And I was like yes, you did. But why do the amount of minutes matter if i'm telling you i would appreciate you touching me like that to be done less? He started yelling and got mad like he always does when I bring this up. He'll also just flash his dick out at me, try to rub on me in stores, while we're in the pool, ect. He's a grown man in his 40s. Why do they do this.
I am so heartbroken and lost.
My cat Mittens came into my life by stumbling onto my porch in 2011. She was 6 months old. It took me almost 3 weeks to convince her to get into the cage. I took her to a vet, she wasn't chipped and became mine. I knew at that moment she would become my life and my best friend. I don't have kids, but she became my child. She made multiple cross country moves with me, saw the grand canyon, the beach, roswell, met my entire family, helped me through the death of friends, grandparents, my dad, helped me through divorce and new marriage. To say she was my best friend is a huge understatement.
She was pretty healthy. Had a mast cell tumor removed from her paw years ago, but nothing came up after that. She developed allergies and had a cough that I was told was pretty much allergy related. They said it could have been asthma, but that as long as it wasn't getting much worse, it wasn't much of a concern. She had a uti a few times, but it cleared with medication. She started limping a few years back but I was told arthritis. Obviously, being 15, it was a bit worse, but she was still moving around and eating and drinking normally.
Luckily, my husband and I both work from home, so we spent a ton of time with her, which I am forvever grateful for.
Earlier this month, she started limping a bit more on one leg, but it went away as fast as it came. She still coughed and had her random coughing spells, but I didn't think much of them since I was told they were most likely allergy related. She had random places she always slept and rotated between, but this past week she's been hanging in the closet more. My husband was like "is she okay?" The day before, and I was like well she's eating, drinking and going to the bathroom the same, so yeah.
Thursday, she walked by my husband and brushed against him like she normally did. She walked into the bedroom where I was and started walking towards the closet. I said "hey!" And she turned around, looked at me, and I picked her up and held her like a baby on the bed like I normally did. I sat holding her for like 5 minutes. Out of nowhere, she made a meow that sounded similar to when she would get a hairball. I put her on the floor to spit it up, and she spit up some liquid and then fell over and couldn't stand. I tried to move her again by picking her up and moving her, but she couldn't. My husband came in and said we should do cpr while franticly trying to google how. I checked her throat but didn't see anything she was choking on. I was screaming and crying and telling him it was too late. This lasted maybe 2 minutes max. Out of nowhere. We weren't home much the day before, and won't be home much this weekend. So I am trying to be thankful that with how quickly it happened, I was actually there. I feel so terrible because I placed her on the floor, but my husband was like she was probably unconscious by the time she was placed there, and the passing was already happening while you were holding her. It happened so fast, and to think that I was able to be there within the short time it happened I feel like has to be a gift, because I would have been destroyed if it happened when I wasn't home or if I had to make the decision to put her down. I feel like she had to know somehow.
But now I am like was she choking and I missed it? Was me holding her like a baby like I always did what caused it? Was there food not fully digested and it came up? She didn't look like she was choking though.
I've also been reading so much about her breed (maine coon) and I've now learned that they are prone to heart issues, which I didn't know. After reading the signs, one of which is coughing, I feel awful because she has had that cough for like 5 years. So could she have had this for that long, and it just got to her? The what if's are killing me. I've also read so many stories online of people saying their maine coon had the same thing or similar happen where it happened out of nowhere and so fast, and that it was heart related. I didn't bring her to a vet after. I had her cremated and already have her back, so I'll never fully know what happened. But I'm starting to believe this was the cause, and I just feel like I should have known or done more.
Every year on her bday, I would put her in this pink dress for a photo. Attached is the one from this year, just a few weeks ago.
I knew she was 15 and that it would be coming sooner rather than later, but I think I just tried to block how old she was as much as possible bc I didn't want to face that reality. And now here I am. Devastated, heartbroken, empty and lost.
I'm just looking for any support, because I an struggling. I feel like my entire life has been ripped away from me. I cry all day and am just a mess. I feel like I failed her and let her down, even though I realize 15 is super good for a cat. Thank you to anyone who made it through this and has any support to offer. I appreciate you all.

This is SO stupid.
My husband and i went to buy alcohol at the same place we do all the time. They asked for both ids. Normally they never even ask for one. I was paying so I handed them mine and they said they needed his too. I asked them if it was a new policy and they said no. We live around the corner, so i told my husband he'd need to go grab his. Literrally less than 5 min away. He comes back in, picks up this sign on the counter that says everyone will be carded. He then puts it back on the counter super pissed off and starts taking a picture of the sign and hands them his id and starts asking why it never happened before, what happens if he brings his daughter in with him and asks if they will card her too to which thet say no. I tell the cashier it isn't his fault and leave. My husband stays in there for like 2 min and then comes out still bitching. I let him rant and he's like what if i had my kid they would card her too? I said your kid doesn't even look over 15, so no. Then he just keeps going on and on about how it's a stupid ass policy, how it doesn't make sense, how "isn't the entire reason for that to make sure i don't buy for underage kids? How does it make sense then." I was just like who cares. You can't change the store policy. If you didn't like it then you should have told me to buy it elsewhere. I told him he caused a scene for absolutely nothing, and he starts screaming at me that he didn't, that i'm a liar, that my dumb brain can't wrap around how stupid the policy is, all while screaming at me. And i literally didn't raise my voice once. I told him he was gaslighting me and refuses to ever admit if he is wrong and he got even more pissed. I told him i did nothing to deserve how he was treating me and he can't even see it. We got home and he "doesn't want to be around me" and locked himself in another room. I am literally in shock with how fucking stupid this is. And to make it worse he is a grown ass 43 year old man.
I've had Mittens since she stumbled onto my porch at 6 months old in Southern California. It took me about a month to get her into a cage to bring her to a vet, but when I finally got her in and found out that she wasn't chipped, she obviously became mine! She has moved across the country almost 10 times, has been on flights, has visited the Grand Canyon, the beach, Roswell, numerous attractions across Route 66, all of the Breaking Bad filming locations, has lived in California, Chicago (where I am from) and now in Florida. She has been with me through the loss of my dad, grandparents, friends, divorce, new marriage, and everything else in between. On her first birthday I decided to put her in this pink dress for a yearly photo, and it's happened every year since. Above is this years photo! I pray that I continue to have many more years of birthday dress photos, but I just wanted to share this years! Happy Saturday everyone!
Hi everyone
I'm a current mess.
I have a cat who is about to be 15. Knock on wood but I've been super lucky with her. She hasn't had many health issues but I've had her since she was 6 months old. She's randomly started to limp a little more, but today when she walked out for food it looked even worse. I've had a vet tell me like 3 years ago that she may have arthritis. She doesn't do much besides sleep, eat, drink and go to the bathroom. (But she didn't really even play much when she was little.) Anyways I'm now having a major meltdown and am having so much anxiety. I don't have kids but she pretty much fills that void for me. She's been with me through the death of my dad, grandparents, moves, divorce, all of it.
I'm just looking for I guess support? I don't even know. But when I saw her limping so much today I was like oh no. I can't deal with the thought of losing her even though I know at some point, I won't have a choice. I realize that she sleeps all the time so when you're not active, it just makes your joints and limbs less great like people but ugh. I'm just spiraling. I'm sure if I take her to a vet they'll tell me she needs some arthritis shot or pills or something? I don't know because it's never gotten to the point when I've seen her limp that bad. I guess I just needed a place to rant

I've taken amox so many times in my life and haven't had an issue.
I started taking it last Fri for whatever sickness I had caught. Flu, cold, sinus infection, idk what it was, but i've been taking it since the 22. The last like 3 days my stomach has been wrecked. Cramping and literal water diarrhea. Is this normal? I didn't have any issues right after I started taking it, and don't remember ever having issues with amox before like this. I haven't taken any since yesterday.
Hi all.
First off, thank you to anyone who is able to help with any support. I am struggling here.
Long time sufferer of health anxiety. No insurance.
On the 15th I started to feel kinda crappy but thought it was just allergies. Started with sneezing, stuffy, and then my voice got super horse and was in and out. Then I got chills and a fever for about a day. Then started with a cough that was pretty constant and felt deep in my chest, but I wasn't really coughing much up. I did a virtual dr last Fri and was given amox. It has maybe helped a bit with the cough, but still coughing and have a headache. My ears (one more than other) feels constantly clogged. I lost my taste and smell like 4 days ago. Covid and flu test were negative. I randomly threw up once last night (may have been from food or amox, idk) but haven't since.
I have severe anxiety over this. I have a tooth I had a root canal on over a year ago but never got crown. The tooth broke but still looks fine, just broken. Now my anxiety is spiraling into what if this is all from the tooth and is now turning me sepetic or something. I don't have any pain on that tooth or in the area, but since I had a root canal, idk if I even would. I read a story from last week about someone who got sepsis from some kind of sinus infection, so insert spiral here.
I also had a friend who died from a cut that got infected, so I am spiraling pretty bad. Current sickness problems are: stuffy, headache, cough, and ears feel clogged.
I'm just looking for support or i don't even know.

My husband asked me a question on whether or not I was doing something for work. I said "i just opened the page so not yet."
15 min later he asked me again and I said "you just asked me that a bit ago." I did not have an attitude, I just answered like that.
He threw a pen at me, punched the chair I was sitting in, was raging and yelling by saying I had an attitude and was lying, and locked himself in another room. I told him i was going to leave if he didn't let me in and he said "BYE".
Literally what the hell is wrong with these people.
My spouse and i work at the same company.
Today when i was working, i made a comment that "everyone should be helping me with this, because the entire order is falling apart." And he knew that i meant the people on my team. He got pissy and said "sorry i'm busy and am not helping." I was like "this wasn't directed towards you? And you have nothing to do with this order." He then got mad, stormed off, and said to drop it. Okay. Then I walked by him and asked what he was watching on tv, and he replied with "fuck all people in red shirts." (I am wearing a red shirt) i was like why did you say that? He responded with "that's how it feels when you say everyone" (referring to the comment i said earlier.) I was like you literally said to drop it? Why did you just make that comment then? He started screaming and I was like "i'm sorry you took what i said as me referring to you, but I wasn't." He said in an attitude "fine you're right and i'm wrong like always." And I was like "okay, so then what? You could at least say sorry?" And he got up and came towards me like he was going to hit me and told me to leave before he did.
He's talking to everyone else and acting like everything is fine after this, but locks me out of the room and tells me he wants to be away from me.
I don't understand what i did wrong.
I said I wanted ice cream. My husband made a comment about how I always want sweets in a smart ass attitude. He then said "theres cookies in the cabinet, why don't you eat those?" I said i didn't want them. He then stated eating chips like he always does, so I jokingly back to him said "you're always making fun of me for wanting sweets but you are the same way with chips." He then said "I must have struck a cord with you for saying you wanted ice cream bc you're still bitching and going on about it." And all I said was "I made a joke comment back to you, but you always want to find ways to push my buttons." He then threw his chips in the cabinet, slammed it as hard as he could, and when I asked why he was putting them away he said "because i fucking can" and stormed into another room and locked me out. It will be like this until he decides to come out to bitch more or will continue to punish me by giving me the silent treatment.
Update. He came out and started humming saying "life is great" and I was like why are you trying to troll me and act like an asshole? He immediately started to yell and said "i'm trying to better my mood and am not doing anything to you. You just want to push buttons shut the fuck up."
Literally why are they like this.
