Here's my little Mexican street dog. I've had him a week. He's still unsure. :) He's loving our trail hikes together, especially when he chases birds or smells and forgets that there is a human anywhere involved in the equation haha He's got to be part Red Heeler. Looks very Basenji and has...

Hi folks! I searched the training forum and couldn't find an answer to my question. Of course, I'm googling the heck out of it but might as well ask "the experts" :D I have a new adoptee, a 2 year old Mexican rescue who is probably quite a solid mix of various sighthounds. Off leash he chases...

I'm sure no one here will remember me but I was a regular here 6 or 7 years ago. I lived in Canada, had a GSD puppy named Nova for a short time and then moved to Iceland. Just wanted to say hi, in case there are any "old-timers" here. I'll have lots of questions...I finally have a dog!

I really have NO tolerance for cheaters! Background: I'm heading into my second year of a psychiatric nursing degree. The program is online and students from the same area of British Columbia are grouped together for clinical rotations. Our group originally had six students. One dropped out...

Omg! I've been dating again for about a year. I'm doing school fulltime so I don't have tonnns of time to meet people so I've been going the online route. I had a profile on PlentyofFish, but I got tired of getting messages like "how r u?" and "i have a question...do you enjoy sex?" I...

Hi folks. It's been quiiiiite a while since I was here last. But I have such fond memories of you all, I wanted to come back. :) I'm back living in Canada (I was living in Iceland) and I'm finishing my first year of a psychiatric nursing program. I'm still dogless (the family's 13 year old...

...you have the entire night before you and nothing in particular to do? It's 9pm. I'm not tired. It's just me, my cat and a laptop. And some overthinking about a boy. Suggestions? :)

Hi ladies and gents :) I'm embarking on a bit of a personal quest. I'm going to go camping this summer. Alone. All alone. I know people do this all the time and it's no big deal, but it's a big deal for me! I have a bit of a stimulation problem, in that I require it - CONSTANTLY. If I'm...

I've recently become interested in financial fitness! I've worked hard to pay off my credit card debt and now hold a balance of 0$ (whew, been a while). And I'm now starting to save money in a high-interest savings account. I'm also looking at starting an RRSP, even just to contribute 50$ a...

I work with a groomer who just got her #1 wish: a client with a standard poodle who will let her do ANYTHING with its hair. The poodle is a very large (100 pound+) male with jet black hair and, currently, a very long coat, about 4 or 5 inches in length all over right now. He has a shaved face...

Ok, this is strange. A friend of mine is getting married next summer. I learned the other day that she's inviting her two good friends ON THE HONEYMOON. Oh, and a cousin might go as well. The bride and groom will be driving (to Vegas - barf) with the two other girls as passengers and the...

Hi folks. I haven't said anything thus far because I thought I was strong enough to handle it without asking for support from anyone.... But I'm not! My marriage has ended. I'm flying back to Canada on Saturday with my cat and all of my possessions. The toughest part for me is that I'm...

Is anyone familiar with this or already does this? It's something I've been learning about just recently after growing veerrrrrry tired of oscillating between severely restricting my diet and then bingeing. The concept, basically, is like so: One, accept your body the way it is now...

I'm not sure why but my cat, a very large brown tabby, Moby, seems to think I require his assistance when I go to the bathroom. I don't work or go to school right now so we spend our days lounging about, reading, napping, sitting on the deck outside and generally enjoying each others' company...

ARGH. Another month of hard work and nothing to show for it. No wonder it's so easy for me to fall off the wagon these days. Today I ate 4 chocolate bars. In one sitting. ZERO positive feedback + exercise related injuries = perfect reason to say "screw it all!". Why not? It's not like...

I am in a really, really, really bad mood. I'm injured from running so my running progress has been halted. I tried to do my normal strength training workout today and half the muscles in my body seized up for NO GOOD REASON. I had to stop about 15 minutes into an hour workout. That was a...

Is everyone familiar with this movie/book/documentary/philosophy? It was quite popular a few years ago, but based on the small amount of information I heard about it I dismissed it as some self-help, metaphysical hoopla. I just now watched the free 20 minute introductory movie and...

JEBUS. I am not a fan of earthquakes. Experiencing the ground moving is very disturbing to me. Afterwards I sit for hours, terrified that suddenly the ground is going to open up and swallow me whole. There was an earthquake earlier today. I was here alone, the screen on my laptop (sitting...

I didn't want to post this in the dog section of the forum, just...cause. But ocassionally I go back to the breeder's website to see if there's any update on Nova. They've just posted brand new pictures of her. She'll be a year old next week. She's become such a gorgeous dog, and even...

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up... There's an email circulating that looks a LOT like PayPal, claiming that your account access has been limited due to "third party" interference. It provides a link for you to validate your account information and restore full access to your account...
