i know i'll get shamed for this but am desperate at this point.

needing to rehome our dog - he isn't getting along with our toddlers. he'll bark at them when they cry or whine and will growl/snarl at them if they get close to him.

he's a male, white, maltese poodle mix. weighs around 32-33 pounds and is 10 years old. he is fully potty trained

can share more info if needed

I was sent the following text as I was a poll worker in Collin county previously .

I love the idea of playing 90s rave music at the poll ( Firestarter - Prodigy ).
Alas, I am not a DJ.
It looks like a paid gig. So I thought I shall pass it along

been thinking about getting a teaching assistant position at one of the elementary school in Allen ISD. Curious on the day to day task or sharing their experiences? Thank you!

This place offered a refund after work didn't go as expected but wanted a signed contract that asks for confidentiality including the existence of the contract itself as well as non-disparagement to any source. The enforceability/legality of this is quite questionable from research.

This place has that 'too good to be true' look to its ratings. I guess this kind of practice explains things if you can just pay people for their silence. They also do a semi-review gate where it links to google reviews if you're happy but it also has an internal review form if you're not. Also I've been seeing non-favorable ratings get removed. 

Would definitely not recommend this office. Dentist handled the situation about as poorly as possible, avoided any accountability, and came off as inexperienced despite not being a new grad. I've also experienced really off-putting attitude from staff even before any of this.

How would you feel about the gag clause? Anyone else have a similarly poor experience?

Hello, 

Karly @ BK Canines neglected my pet cocker spaniel and he died under her supervision, or lack thereof. I am not the only one to have issues with this woman! https://nextdoor.com/p/-tQJ-N4P8SXT?utm\_source=share&extras=MzAzODQwODM%3D&share\_platform=10&utm\_campaign=1786419418144&share\_action\_id=6992958e-1537-4934-8550-5af0babd8cae

It is with a heavy heart that I share my dog, Rocky, has passed away. He was just 6 years old. His autopsy revealed that he had no signs of food in his stomach, and was severely dehydrated. He died in a cage, covered in his own vomit and diarrhea. He weighed just 17 pounds.

He was in the care of BK Canines for just 6 days while we were out of town getting married. We were never told he was not eating or drinking. We requested footage of his time there, and have been ignored. We have not been offered even a refund — though I would happily have paid her tenfold to return my dog to me as I left him there. 

Please help me spread the word, so that other dogs are not able to be victimized by this woman. Do not, under any circumstances do business with them. I am destroyed.

I've been trying to adopt a kitten or young cat all day today, there's none at the allen shelter, say fuck it and go to dallas, every other kitten at the dallas shelter has ringworm. I am not prepared to handle ringworm. I go home and look online, the majority (or what feels like the majority) of adaptable cats nearby have ringworm. I've never adopted a cat before so I don't know if this is normal or not.

Just faced 2 power outages in the span of 2 hours. Anyone else affected?

Saw a couple of people cuffed with five cop cars around in the parking lot. Hope everyone is OK over there. Anyone know what happened?

Any idea when it opens? They put the sign up forever ago and then it’s been nothing since.

Has anyone lived and/or have insight into the apartments right around Watters Creek: The Montgomery, Inkwell, Alleia, The Reflection? It's my husband and I (mid twenties) and our dog. Looking for any info about these complexes.

Additionally, does anyone have recommendations for apartment complexes with a small fenced in yard on first floor units? It doesn't look like any of the complexes listed above have this as an option for any of their units and we are open to other properties in Allen, but would just prefer Watters Creek area for its proximity to our offices and families' homes. Thanks!

We’re beginning our search for a home and would appreciate your recommendations. Here’s a summary of what we’re looking for:
Budget: Up to $1.1M (open to both new construction and pre-owned homes)
Key priorities:
• Top-rated schools — we have a one-year-old, so a strong school district is essential for the long term
• A shorter, more manageable commute
• A location that avoids the heavy US-380 traffic corridor
Given these criteria, we’d love your recommendations on communities

Looking to take my boyfriend out for his birthday! I know about Top Golf, Movie Theatres, and a few restraunts. But is there anything else?
