please help with pulling espresso [XIXUBX Espresso Machine, OXO Brew Compact Conical Burr Electric]

Hi! newish espresso machine user and i’m having tons of trouble. I am trying to be budget friendly so I got a budget machine and grinder. The grinder was almost the same as the machine lol. I’m having lots of trouble pulling my espresso. I measured 18 g for a double shot before pulling which in hindsight was too much. I tamped it down and this is what it looks like. Super flat barely any output. At least this time it didn’t sputter. I am not sure what i’m doing wrong but I am definitely struggling. Looking for help with accessories I can get to make this easier that aren’t too expensive. Also, every time I pour grinds from grinder to portafilter it gets everywhere even with the thing you put on top of the portafikter (forget what it’s called). Let’s just say I need a lot of help. Also I got a bottomless portafilter instead of the one that came w the machine, it locks in but not as tightly as the one that came with the machine, could that be why it’s bad? plz help!

recs for bad breath?

my girl lost her puppy breath it’s official and i love her sm but it’s rank. we feed her turkey rice and pumpkin and are going to start introducing other stuff to make sure she’s getting proper nutrition but she has a bad tummy! so don’t get why it’s so stinky when that’s what we feed her. any recs for homemade treats
i can make her at home that are natural ? i also brush her teeth but it’s chicken flavor, ew lol!

EDIT: i wrote above we know she isn’t currently getting proper nutrition. this isn’t long term, we are just trying to get her gut to be aligned again.

EDIT AGAIN: her thyroid also came back a little elevated, has anyone experienced this? vet just said to monitor. she’s 5 months btw

RECS NEEDED

repost: no one commented lol

My favorite self tanner right now is the saint tropez supreme violet. i love the color, hate the price tag, and smell. also it doesn’t get me as dark as id like. when I go to sugared and bronzed and beach bum i get their darkest solution and that gets me the color I want to be. only thing is i dont love the undertones at beach bum they’re kinda orange. i’m looking for a foam or solution that will just get me SUPER dark. i want to look like i laid out for months, maybe even am sunburnt. preferably something not too expensive but ill try anything. most foams aren’t doing it for me anymore. i want a solution i can put in a pump. i like express, but doesnt need to be that. i have neutral warm undertones. TY!!!!

16 week old lab puppy not pooping

my baby girl was on PPP chicken and rice then open farm salmon and ancient grains, now i’m cooking her turkey and rice.

first it was diarrhea all the time when she was new, then we switched to open farm and it was not pooping until 3 pm despite eating 3 meals a day and pooping again before bed most of the time diarrhea sometimes solid and the end soft serve ice cream type.

now we think the turkey and rice completely bonded her. it’s 9:15 pm she had her first meal at 8 am her second at 1 PM and her third at 5 pm. no poop yet today. she also puked two days ago when we first fed her the turkey and rice but has been doing fine since.

she has great energy, if anything she’s a little too crazy lol! also she LOVES to eat, she’s just not pooping it’s super weird!! idk i love her so much it gives me anxiety, especially since my first lab who passed 3 years ago had stomach and jaw cancer and it was heartbreaking. i try to feed her the best stuff and take care of her as best i can’t. i just want her to be okay. we are doing a stool sample, blood test, and xray of her abdomen this week.

EDIT: she also gets hiccups constantly
