I need help finding bed legs

I need to find shorter bed legs for my adjustable bed frame. It's an old model, the current legs thread size is 7/16th 14 course, which I've found out is a very unusual size.

I bought some kits off Amazon that had adapters, but none of them worked. In the photo, I'm holding the og bed leg, and the rest are the ones I've bought off Amazon.

I have a surgery coming up and have to have the adjustable bed frame part, otherwise I'd just buy a shorter bed.

How do I make shorter legs for my bed frame?

My bed is 30 inches high, and I need to shorten it.

I have a temperpedic adjustable bed frame. It's one of the older models. I only use the adjustable function when recovering from surgeries. (which unfortunately, I have often)

They don't make replacement legs for this model. I've ordered a handful of furniture legs online and none of the threads fit. The og leg thread is 7/16th (according to Steve at Lowes) and the legs are 10 inches.

How can I diy something? Does anyone have ideas? I'm not handy at all. I would ask my dad but he hasn't come back from getting milk 30 years ago.

I've had to spend way too much time in here post kidney transplant... Help me design my room

I've spent way too much time in this room recovering from my kidney transplant. It's empty because there was a wheelchair and hospital table, and I was a fall risk.

I can't stand it any more. I use ambient lighting at night which makes it cozier, and didn't realize how sterile it looks in the daytime. Please help me not hate this room. I still spend a considerable time in bed due to my health. I can't paint the walls right now. Drop all the links /items etc... I'm going to try to buy happiness. Also I have to incorporate the dog crate, and would like some kind of bench at the end of my bed instead of dog stairs.

Anything is better than what it is, but the vibes I like are the last pics. I can finally have plants in my room post transplant, but this is a basement. Please help lol

Need some tips on blow drying my dog after a stroke.

Hi all, I'm looking for ideas or tips on grooming after my stroke. I'm just a pet owner. I have an Aussie and I'm struggling with getting her hair to lay all in one direction. She is really curly on her top line/rump.

From what I read, I need to be blowing with the grain, and brush at the same time. I still have a lot of weakness in my left side, so holding a dryer nozzle and brushing is incredibly difficult. I'm wondering if anyone has ideas on how to accomplish this. Or if there's other things I could do to tackle this wavy/curly hind end.

I line brush with a Chris Christensen buttercomb, have a coral slicker brush, and use ice on ice spray. I have a flying pig vacuum. Thanks in advance!

Water safety. Worried about water intoxication, ear infections, and hot spots.

This is not an emergency and is just a pet parent trying to prevent problems in the first place.

Safety practices re: water intoxication, ear infections, and hot spots.

I have a spayed 2 year old Aussie who is obsessed with water. She loves playing in the hose, the sprinklers etc. We have a pool and she loves to jump in over and over.

How do I let her continue to enjoy the water, and also be safe? A friend just had a dog die of water intoxication.. I've been so afraid of HABs I didn't even consider this.

What can I watch for, and do, to keep my water loving pup healthy and happy during this extremely hot summer?

Trainer suggestions Utah? Or possibly virtual trainer suggestions?

I've been on the hunt for a fear free/positive reinforcement trainer for my Aussie. We went to a pack walk to meet a trainer who said they were relationship based.. At the end of the walk she was hanging a 4 month old puppy on a slip lead, and posted the video to her training fb page. It was sickening.

I'm getting so discouraged, I'll find a trainer who advertises that they are aversive free, then at the end of the consult they be like "oh we'll probably use an e collar".

Has anyone done virtual training for reactivity? My pup is a little too stoked on life and loves everything and everyone, with a lot of big feelings. I don't know how a virtual trainer would help, but I'm desperate at this point.

If you have virtual trainer recommendations, or suggestions local to me (Utah) please let me know.

Rc Car recommendations after kidney transplant?

So I've been having complications from my kidney transplant. I've been really sick and haven't been able to play with my Aussie much. We usually play with a rabbit pelt on a string and pole.. I have a dog walker but I miss playing with my dog.

I want to get an rc car and use paracord and a breakaway clasp to tie the pelt to. I am a girly girl and have no idea about rc cars or what to look for. It needs to be able to run in grass. Any suggestions? Are there any reputable places to get them 2nd hand? Thanks in advance

Found broken tooth after dental xrays

On Monday my 15 month old pup was sedated for dental xrays. She has a missing lower tooth and they wanted to make sure it wasn't growing under her gums. The vet said the xrays looked good and there were no issues with her teeth.

That night, since she was so groggy from sedation, I was going to take pictures of her teeth for future reference when I saw this 🙃 is this a weirdly shaped tooth or is it broken? My vet said everything looked fine, so I feel weird being like "are you sure?" I lost my senior dog to hemangiosarcoma, so I've been overly worried about everything with this pup, and don't want to be a nuisance to my vets office.

How would they fix this?

R+ Dog trainers near provo? Witnessed a trainer hold a puppy in the air by a slip lead...

Does anyone have recommendations for an r+/fear free dog trainer near provo? (or in the southern end of Utah County). Bonus if they come to your home.

My dog is absolutely stoked on life, and I need help training some neutrality, and just general manners. Her teenage brain is getting the best of her.

We went to a trainers group pack walk and in the first 10 minutes she is hanging a 4month old puppy by a slip lead to stop "aggression". Another trainer we went to punched a German shepherd in the side for reacting to another dog. I got a dog because I love and enjoy them, I'm so sick of trainers recommending abusive techniques.

Picture of my girl as a pup for tax.
