Is it possible to train them to not chase indefinitely?

We just got a 1.5 year old terrier mix (looks like mostly rat terrier?)2 weeks ago and this is my first dog. He's a rescue and is so great (housetrained, no aggression, no pulling on leash) We've been extremely careful to never let him out without a leash. Today he got out on our porch, saw a cat and bolted. We chased him down and caught him (once he lost the cat, he started playing/running away from us like it was a game) but it was the worst 8 minutes of my life.

My question is, will he just always chase a rodent/small animal because its part of his breed/genetics, or can you train terriers to not run away/have good recall even with distractions? I'm pretty rattled from that experience.

Why more insulin when ++IOB?

Hello! I am a nurse caring for kids in schools with T1D. Ive been doing the job for about 5 months and realizing that this is way more complicated than most people realize 🤣 We do have a nurse educator that I can ask questions, but they didnt have much insight about this issue:

Why does the tandem pump (specifically t:slim 2x) give the warning "due to increased IOB, glucose may drop low. Re-test" and then proceed to give the whole dose and not reduce the insulin dose?

I see the kids when they are eating and monitor them inputting their bolus. I have 1 kid who keeps dropping low about 1 hr after I leave-- usually when we get this warning. Is there a way to prevent the lows (other than inputting less carbs obviously)?

Trade me for a Apple Airtag 2?

I'm looking for someone who can give me their older, 1st generation airtag and I will give you my 2nd gen one.

I was given an apple airtag 2nd gen from the rescue that we got our dog from that attaches to his collar. Unfortunately we have android phones. I have an older iPhone at home that can support 1st gen airtags but not 2nd gen. Hoping to find someone who can trade me, otherwise, its useless.
