I'm looking for a duvet insert with the following specs:

Real down

Clusters, not fibers

An oversized king, at least 116" or wider

Having a lot of trouble finding something. Thanks!

I'm wondering if there are barrier creams that aren't greasy, or if that's just the nature of the product.

I've tried both La Roche Posay Cicablast Balm B5+ and The Ordinary NMF with phytoceramids. Both are very greasy once rubbed in.

Thanks in advance.

I bought a pair of Momentum 4 from Facebook Marketplace today. Brought them home and noticed the ANC is much weaker on the left side. The audio works on the left, just not so much the noise cancellation. I tried updating the firmware and resetting the headphones a couple times. I know that buying used on Facebook is a risk but wondering if there's any way I can resolve this. Thanks in advance.

My 3 year old pug is continuously peeing in the same spot of carpet. I drench the area in nature's miracle spray (the original formula), wait 15 minutes, then go over it with my carpet cleaner. She still pees there. Please recommend stronger enzymatic spray cleaners.

I plan to rent a commercial carpet cleaner and shampoo all of the carpets with an enzyme shampoo soon.

Two weeks ago we welcomed a 3 year old pug to the family. She sleeps through the night soundly either in our bed or in her crate, but she has been waking up at 6:30ish every day and whining in the crate or jumping on me and running around in the bedroom. My alarm doesn't go off until 7:30 so I'd love to be able to sleep in.

When she wakes up, I take her outside and then let her be unsupervised downstairs where she just lays back down on the couch and rests until I get up again. It's not like she's up and active for the day.

Her last bathroom break of the day is about 10:30pm. At 3 years old I would expect her to be able to hold it overnight until 8, but that is just based on our older pug which sleeps until I get up every day.

How do I get her to sleep in or wait quietly until I get up? I'm considering just letting her sleep in the living room and seeing if she does well down there until I get up.

TIA!

I'm not sure if this is a normal way to feel.

My fiance got our 8yo girl as a puppy and I came into her life when she was 3. She is my absolute soul dog. I loved our life as a little family and our routine. I was indifferent to getting a second dog but my fiance really wanted one and we both thought our 8yo might be lonely. We also both hoped getting another pug would eventually soften the heartbreak when our 8yo passes away.

Two weeks ago we added a 3yo girl pug from a rescue. She is sweet and playful, pretty well behaved. My fiance is really happy to have her. Obviously things have changed a bit in our daily life. The 8yo pug seems happy to have a companion but I'm feeling a little sad for some reason... While I enjoy the new pug too, I'm missing the routine we used to have, miss giving my 8yo pug all my attention, and wondering if I would be happier with just her.

I've also been having a lot of intrusive sad thoughts about my 8yo getting old and dying which doesn't help!

Anyone else feel this way? Did you eventually grow attached to your second pug? Thanks!

We started fostering a 3 year old intact female pug four days ago. She was in a previous foster home for about three weeks before we got her. She is a foster to adopt so our intention is to adopt her after she is medically cleared by the rescue.

We don't know much about her background except she was a breeder release, so I'm just assuming the worst that she wasn't house trained at all.

She does very well at going potty when we take her outside. She pees pretty much every time and it seems like she prefers to poop after breakfast and after dinner. She knows outside = bathroom but she doesn't know inside is NOT bathroom. She hasn't soiled her kennel yet but if she has to go while she's around the house, she'll just stop whatever she is doing and go.

For reference we have another 8yo pug that my fiance got as a puppy. I met them when she was already an adult and fully house trained. She never goes in the house and will sit by the door until we take her out.

I don't have experience in dog training. I asked my fiance how he taught the older dog that going inside isn't okay and he said he used to show her the accident, scold her, and punish her by putting her in the kennel. I know this is not recommended. Any advice on teaching the new dog that it's not okay to go inside / to tell us she needs to go out?

We are going to Secrets La Romana in December. The flight options are 5:30am-2:45pm or 7:00am-4:30pm on a Tuesday. Would you take the super early departure and earlier arrival, or the later departure and later arrival? We will still have to get transportation to the resort and make that drive too.
