I'm glad you reported him that is bullshit.

Tom that's awesome. I haven't logged in to Tumblr in forever I need to check it out again.

Does anyone have any tips on how to befriend a Chihuahua Dachshund mixed with something else ? The dog is here to stay and it hates me. Growls every time I get close to it. I've tried treats but it doesn't seem interested in me or them. At this point I don't want it to bite me.

Teppy, my sister had good results with contrast showers when she was reduced to the lie that is Tylenol for pain treatment.

askye, there's a guy on YouTube named Rocky Kanaka who has a series called Sitting With Dogs. You might find it helpful to view a chunk of them. It reflects a lot of my experiences with my little guy. Its a lot of watching body language and letting them come to you. Warwick and I had what wound up named Amish Couch Dates where he eventually deigned to sit on the other end of the couch I was on as long as I did not approach him. Over the course of months he inched his way across the void. Now, of course, he's glued to me.

One thing I learned with my little guy happened when I had COVID. I'd had him a while at that point and he'd bonded with me (which took a good ten months). I was alone in the house, sleeping/not sleeping fairly delirious as one is with COVID. He stood up and started barking his fucking head off. So weird. 15 seconds later, someone knocked on the door. I realized that when you're 7 pounds, the only thing you can really do effectively is be an alarm.

askye, is there anything that does motivate it, if food doesn't work? Toys, or going for a walk?

I think Tylenol can be okay for some of my muscle stuff , but all of them are something of a last resort because of my stomach...I use the heating pad for a few minutes every day, not because I hurt but because my legs are sort of naturally...clenched from waiting for the message that doesn't come and all that.(Well, okay, sometimes that does hurt, in various ways. But not as much as therapists predicted. Because I'm not constantly trying to push them somewhere they don't want to go as hard as an abled person can...of course that hurt!) I've really never had treat-pets either. Or maybe never found the right treat.

I now know that if a post about TV Tropes scrolls across my Tumblr dashboard, I get angry, add the sordid history, and reblog it. Since I did that last night, there have been a lot of reblogs with tags such as "deep fandom lore" and "he did what?!".

Someone suggested adding it to Fanlore, and I like that idea. Now to find out how one gets something posted to Fanlore.

I saw your post last night, and I managed to just click like instead of reblogging it accompanied by creative swearing and venomous hissing. I feel like that's growth.

He had some kind of problem with his site, recently, but hey, I'm no snitch.(if it was anyone here, really don't say anything. Not that I think it is. ) I can't believe he took my "Forget it, Jake, it's Internet Chinatown," attitude to mean we should be social-networking friends and we can laugh about it later. No. Game may *respect* game; that doesn't imply that I've gotta hang out with it.

Atropa, you should be able to just create a Fanlore account and add it.

Yep, still a lot of rage there. Let's just leave that simmering on the back burner, shall we?
