it’s hard to say what Callen liked best but he was pretty interested in everything until we got toward meltdown hours
burg summer
the critters were OUT today
the critters were OUT today
burg summer
we were all huge fans of the jaguar but Chris thinks the giraffes were what held Callen’s attention the longest
burg summer
Bronco the peacock was the first thing we saw and as you can see he gave us such a show
burg summer
I made sure he knew he’s extremely handsome and powerful and attractive to hens

I'm glad Callen loved it! And look at that tiger doing his best impression of my cat who thinks he's a tiger.
burg summer
Gonna scritch their little ears
burg summer
Despite everything I have been feeling real low and also have had The Cough for like an entire week so I think I’m gonna take tomorrow off
burg summer
well Callen broke a pickle jar at Fred Meyer
burg summer
rite of passage ig
burg summer

Lana
I'm glad yall had a good time and hope you're on the up and up soon!
burg summer
fuck today. Pip bit a kid (tween not little) who came to our door at dinnertime
burg summer
I’m not okay about it
burg summer
maybe this time the reactivity trainer won’t fucking ghost me
burg summer
it will be fine and we will be fine and he’s not going to get taken away or put down, this is not the 80’s anymore, he is very smart and trainable we just need help.
fleshy barbie
ah man, pip!! :c god that's so stressful. hope the tween is ok and you can get some assistance.

i'm so sorry cami, what a terrible situation. i know you guys are doing right by him and your neighbors. fwiw - the reactivedogs subreddit has some resources for stuff to try at home until you can get a behaviourist to call back. they're also good for support and venting.
el axo
maybe don't read it tonight, there are some upsetting worst case stories there that don't apply to your situation. but if and when you're ready
crimerdinger
if you can find someone with CPDT-KA cred = ok, CBCC-KA might be more helpful (it's behavioral focused)

Thank you for this mini. If things dont work out with the consultation on Wednesday I’ll hit it up for sure
burg summer
I admit I panicked first thing. one of my childhood dogs bit several people and only avoided being put down because someone came and got him the night before the appointment. Pip is very different though and we can do things to prevent a repeat incident
burg summer
also nobody has called us yet which, so far so good. Maybe we won’t get sued? The kid apparently said dogs bite him all the time (????) and his parents weren’t even home and therefore didn’t know he was here, so idk.
burg summer
there’s nothing excusing our role in it but maybe we’ll get lucky and this will just serve as a wake up call
burg summer
Pippin is so special. I can’t lose him over some stupid mistake
burg summer

looks like the place I contacted is run by one of the people on this list. hooray
mj
aw man i'm sorry cami. that's stressful but it'll be okay!
goergius
Man this sucks I'm so sorry for everyone involved. I'm sure it'll be fine, but still--how stressful
Lana
I'm glad everyone's ok but sorry it's happening! hang in there

I love to have bronchitis that wakes me up every ten to twenty minutes because I’m drowning suddenly
burg summer
bad!!!!!
burg summer
anyway today is better. I took the day and slept (kind of) in.
burg summer
burg summer
back from the dentist, pleased to report I have teeth
burg summer
I have to go TWO MORE TIMES in the next couple weeks bc she only deep cleaned half my mouth.
burg summer
so the other half will be Thursday and then I'm getting fillings in two weeks which is novel and exciting to me, perfect tooths cami
burg summer
also it's on sight for my fucking childcare flex account holders who waited until the day after March 31 to deny my reimbursement claim after dicking me around for the past couple months
burg summer
(March 31 was the cutoff for 2024 reimbursements but I still mysteriously could not pay the kindercare bill today, April 1, 2025, so I decided I still get to submit a new reimbursement claim)
burg summer
at this point they're literally just stealing my money
burg summer
rat bastids
burg summer
I reserve the right to be pissy until I either get money back or can feel the right side of my face again
burg summer
ohhhh I am so sick of coughing myself awake 
burg summer
gonna do urgent care today probably. just to make sure I don’t have pneumonia or something
el axo
this is a good plan. please don't die with your mouth half clean
Lana
I'm sorry, friend! I hope they can help
burg summer
went to doctor, diagnosis Nothing
burg summer
fuck my lungs 2025 another year another forever bronchitis
fleshy barbie
godddd im sorry
burg summer
somehow over the course of the day I have felt more and more sick, now in my nose. is it possible a third cold has hit the towers
burg summer
feeling a little better today (checks over my shoulders for any steel chairs)
burg summer
the training consultation for Pip is set for Sunday evening, I really liked the woman I spoke to and thank u again
crimerdinger
for that list. she even said that if it ever happens again we shoudl call her bc she can be a go-between with cops or animal control and navigate us thru any legal processes
burg summer
and also assured me that cops/AC have to be called within 24 hours of the incident so we're definitely in the clear legally. but pointed out that even the worst case scenario incident she's worked with left the dog still alive and with its family, just with limitations
burg summer
so like. I can breathe in more ways than one lol
goergius
Hell yeah what a relief (x2)
el axo
that's such good news
crimerdinger
Nice, very cool, I'm glad that was a beneficial discussion and hope they can help you and pip out
crimerdinger
They've probably seen Some Shit
burg summer
yeah the worst case scenario she described was like. just about as bad as it can get without anyone dying
burg summer
I need you to witness what it’s like being in my family 
burg summer

new computer acquired. it's kinda little which almost made me annoyed but I don't mind, I have more Desk Real Estate and it's not as bright
burg summer
acts a bit more like an iphone and adjusts itself to the lighting so it's not killing my eyes
burg summer
but I'm up and running in photoshop which is the most important thing
