Bookmark keeps teasing a big author coming to the island and I’m curious if anyone lurking Reddit know anything about it 👀 🫖

Stupidly did taxes late and missed Julys payment. It says I have a payment coming Aug 6 but didn’t mention Aug 20 which is the normal payment day.

Is this my late July payment? Or is this augusts early?

Lesson learned here but would like help figuring this out

I (34f) lost my sweet chihuahua and companion of 13 years this summer.

I took my girls (1 and 4) to drop off her bed and and some food and supplies we had to our shelter and of course we went in and then of course I fell in love with a little kitten. The girls were both so gentle too. I took the plunge because even though I know I don’t feel ok about replacing my dog, bringing in a new baby who needs a home that’s different I feel really excited about.

I grew up with cats all my life but never had one myself as an adult. I’d love to hear every piece of advice anyone could offer. I want to keep her downstairs and indoors. She’s only 2m, and very shy. Want to go slow to let her know she’s home here.

Edit.. she has a brother at the shelter but I only intended to get one. So I double up?!

What’s the process like? We are interested in a cat and my hearts now set on her. Does it take a few hours to hear back - days? Weeks? Fingers crossed.

Gonna be a chillier day tomorrow and we’re camping with our 1 and 3yo. Doesn’t look like a pool day - does anyone have suggestions of things to do around this area??

I have 3 male Ancona ducks to give away. Apprx 2m old. Just too many boys as we are keeping for eggs :) they are pretty cute. Anyone have any interest?

I’ve never gone but looking to book a massage and the thermal experience by myself as a treat. Has anyone gone by themselves?

Does anyone local do anything like this? Just lost my girl and would like to make her grave on our property special .

Heart feels heavy and I feel horrible even saying it but I really think my 13yo chihuahua is telling me it’s time. Battled with IVDD the last year and now this week lost bladder control and mobility.
Last night she howled for hours in a way I’ve never heard -shaking and staring at me with the widest eyes. We were going to do another 8 weeks of crate rest but I see now she doesn’t have it in her.

Please no judgement. I am going to call my vet first thing. This is so hard.

My sweet senior pup has stage 4 IVDD and is in immense pain. I don’t think either of us can do this anymore. I’d like to reconsider the treatment plan and put her to rest so she can be at peace.

Will my regular vet do this or do not all clinics offer this? Also will this be an awkward conversation to have/will she talk me out of it? It’s already the worst thing in the world seeing her this way. I’d like to do it tomorrow if possible.

Just looking for experiences or advice. Thanks.

My girl spent 8 weeks last summer crate resting after her first IVDD episode. Winter was long and limited and now this week she went from stage 2 to 4 (almost 5) and has to do another 8 weeks in the crate. Another entire summer.

She’s 13. I know crate rest can be effective but Jamie has lost all mobility in legs and bladder function. Vet quoted less than 50% chance it will return.

Watching my dogs life be so crappy is killing me. I know she MIGHT walk again and life MAY get better after being locked up another 2 months but at what point do I say enough?

Baby girl was diagnosed today after losing her ability to walk suddenly earlier this week We are not going with surgery, we can’t afford it and I also just fear it won’t help enough esp at her age.

Any positive stage 4 stories without surgery? Or actually id like to hear even the negative. I just want a realistic picture. Thanks

This is a little dark but I only ever hear the positive stories. Without surgery after crate rest did some of your puppies never recover?

We are in a situation where surgery is not an option. Dog has lost complete function of back legs. She was on strict crate rest last summer from her first IVDD flare up and now we’re starting another 8 weeks.

Another full summer in a crate. I can’t stomach it and want to hear everyone’s stories.
