This popped into my head, thought I’d ask about it here. Feel free to share the art you got complimented on. Bragging rights for all here.

For me, it was when I changed my Facebook profile’s banner to a Van Gogh painting, and my mom legitimately thought it was one of my own works. Granted, my mom isn’t too versed into the art world, but regardless it was really encouraging to hear, especially since Van Gogh has a special place in my heart.

Hi there.

Recently I’ve taken interest in this dog breed for their temperaments and their size. I’ve done a bit of research and found that they are prone to some genetic illnesses. My question is more about how anatomically healthy are they compared to, say, french bulldogs or pugs, who often need surgery to give birth and breathe? I’ve been looking into this but haven’t found much. I don’t intend on purchasing another dog until a long while either, since I’m already preoccupied with an Aussie menace, I’m just curious about a potential future dog and want to ensure it’s a healthy one. I’m open to other breed recommendations if possible as well.

Thank you for any info!

Edit: since someone asked but ended up getting their comment removed due to AutoMod, I’m looking for a lap dog with a pretty easygoing, calm, and adaptable temperament, suitable for both couch chilling and traveling. Preferably social with human and dog strangers, but neutral is fine too.

I’m feeling yappy today and so I wanna hear people’s stories.

Hi there.

I have a dog who struggles greatly with human reactivity and recently started showing some redirected aggression/arousal. It’s gotten much worse since she began the adolescent phase, and past experience with a previous trainer did little help for it. I’m seeking out a new trainer for this reason, with hopes that I’ll finally be able to help my dog, because she is seriously struggling with this fear. I’m currently leaning toward Zelda’s for their R+ training strategies but would like to hear other people’s experiences with them first. In particular I’m interested in their board and train program, because for one, I live hours away from Bozeman, and two, my dog’s triggers occur at random and it’s gotten to the point where I can’t help her settle after they happen.

Thank you for any info.
