I saw Big Shark in theaters and LOVED it. My 31st birthday is coming up and I decided to throw a Big Shark themed party where I make everyone watch it, play drinking games (drink every time “occupy my brain” is said), we wear cowboy hats, eat king cake (instead of a baby, whoever gets the shark will get a copy of the movie).

Heres the thing, I made my husband watch it last night and while he got a few chuckles, was not impressed. He was the one to introduce me to Tommy! Stupid movies are right up his alley. I am now second guessing this whole thing, realizing the best part of seeing it in theater was being surrounded by people who appreciated it.

Anyway, I may end up canceling 😅😅

I have a 4 year old Cattle Dog/Brittany mix. When playing with our other dog, he barks in her face a lot, especially if she stops playing and he wants to keep going.

At the dog park, his behavior is not as confident. He usually just sniffs other dogs. Every once in a while, he will find a dog he feels comfortable playing with and start chasing/barking at him. If the dog doesn’t seem interested or gets annoyed with his barking, he comes back to me.

Fast forward to today, we met some friends at the dog park. They have a new puppy about 8 months old. He is also a barker.

Their dog began the barking, mine reciprocated, but instead of chasing each other and playing, they kept barking in each others faces, getting louder and faster. Both dogs tails were wagging, their puppy was in a play position, but mine seemed to start lunging and just trying to bark (or nip?) his face. We couldn’t tell if it was really aggression or loud playing so we played it safe and separated them, redirecting their puppy to play with another dog and having mine come hang out with me.

Is it normal to bark at each other like this? Is it playing or aggressive? How can we tell? How can I stop my dog from doing this?

I have been on 50mg Pristiq for almost a year now and am curious if anyone else experiences this side effect.

I take my medication around 3:30-4. Afterwards for a 2-3 hours I get kind of sleepy and don’t want to do anything or be around anyone. I get annoyed when people talk it feels like I am trudging through mud. When people talk to me, its like talking to an empty shell. Almost disassociating, but not quite.

Does anyone else get this? I feel like it wears off and I start feeling better after a few hours. I am also on Vyvanse and know some of this can be caused by the crash, but I also feel it on days I don’t take it.
