Bling dog collars for large dogs

Our dog has been out and come back inside with a hole/rip in his chest. It’s pretty deep but not bleeding, not a major artery or anything. But he’s a bit shaken up.
Should we clean the wound? It’s night and we can’t get to a vet until the morning.
It’s about 2cm long and pretty deep. Right in his chest.
What can we do for him till the morning?
Greyhound, 11 years old, male. Australia/Victoria. Average-bigger weight, neutered.

Today I've learned sex does not solve everything. I've met someone who apparently had a crush on me for an year or so. And she's a little bit more beautiful than my ex. But on other hand this woman is crazy. Definitely traumatized from her family and all the men she ever dated. Anger problems definitely save definitely cannot be reasoned with. I think to myself is she playing me. Or more for that matter am I playing myself. I'm starting to get really turned off by women who drink a lot. I think that's my trama. Women with drinking problems. I'm starting to think I'm permanently fucked up from women. On the other I laugh because who isn't these days. I'm starting to think I'm best off alone. I thought about playing this woman like a dog but I'll only be adding to the troubles the plague her mind. All for what my selfish desiree to play as many women as possible because I think they're all the same? I constantly bounce between the being myself and wanting to give people because I'm ashamed of myself for being nice for far too long. Lord knows I wanted actually legitly wanted to kill my enemies or myself. I know I'm messed up. The woman I mess with even sees a little of bit of the fact that I'm crazy. I need help, I honestly thought getting laid for the first time in a year would help calm the thoughts in my head of revenge against the people who wronged me. (To anyone who reads this I refuse to talk about my team or what happen between me and enemies) For a full year I isolated myself away any negative situation or person who could drag me down. All of them I hang with no one. I don't have many friends around. But since I have such lovely personality finding who associates was not hard. I won't make the mistake of trusting anyone like I did before. I refuse to let anything from last year happen again. Then again I'm also very scared of myself. I do not want to see myself snap. I keep having pictures of all my enemies dead and all I hear is police surrounding me. With me full of regret where I should of just moved on. IDC if a lot of people won't understand. It's not like I have a history doing any of this. I'm no thug no killer nothing like this. Which is why I get so scared of myself. Because I try to keep myself away from fights. I try my best to stay isolated as possible. I'm trying my best to repair my social life. Get myself back to normal or a new normal. Happiness still feels a lifetime ahead. And that what makes me sad. I have no children or wife or pets or even career. And damnit I just started living and I guess. Like living for myself. I'm 30 I feel like I have no time. And I have hardly any help. Anyways my thoughts are no excuse which is why I feel ashamed of myself like I'm actually a criminal. But I haven't done anything. I hope one day I find peace that doesn't involve me being in my deathbed.

Hej i herlige mennesker!
Vi står og skal købe hus, og er faldet for en lille perle hvis vi selv skal sige det. Der er dog et punkt i tilstandsrapporten som omhandler taget og at der skal etableres ventilation/udluftning. Er der nogen af jer de har erfaring med sådan en omgang, og hvad koster det at få udbedret af en håndværker? Husets grundareal er 120 kvm i runde tal.
Tak på forhånd

I'll be straight to the point, I'm debating in my mind whether I should try out 2042 again. I've played it a little bit but not much, the last time I played was when they released Liz and that canadian map into the game.
Lately I've been focused on just bf4 because on there, I'm re-grinding everything. Although, I can't get certain things because a lot of modes aren't played anymore, and I could do the whole battlelog puzzle for the phantom bow and get the special dog tags from the Final Stand maps, but that would take so much time to do it all over again.
I've seen a video from Jackfrags playing on the new Reclaimed map and immediately got Zavod vibes, but not quite the same. I'm kind of wondering what's even the story behind everything? If there's a story at all to follow.
I remember hearing they added classes but of course made a hybrid of classes and specialists, so classes don't feel and sound the same anymore as well. Battlefield 5 had the elites but those characters were purely just skins but also had trailers and actual background stories, the game actually tells you and shows how they fit in with the war. Bf5 still did the class system pretty well and you sometimes even forget there are elites at all when playing.
Should I give this game another chance? Or would it be a waste of time? I've mostly skipped the game and I'm waiting for the next title. I still downloaded the game when it was free in case I ever wanna get into the game or give it another try. Only issue is that, every time I look at the game and try it again, it just feels so goddamn alien and barely anything like battlefield at all. It's the same feeling as an alien taking over someone's body, the physical body is there but the personality and soul of that person is gone.

I hope one day I find peace that doesn't involve me being in my deathbed.

so i think i had a panic attack the other day and i think it traumatised me
all these sirens were going off and i didn't really think much of it at first because i live in a place were i hear sirens constantly and they sounded far away. but then the sirens started going on and off again (multiple minute pauses in between) and they in front of my next door neighbours house. i started hyperventilating and crying at the thought of someone dangerous living next door to me or if there was some weirdo wandering around. one of my dogs was laying next to me on the bed and i think he could tell something was wrong when i started crying because he scooted closer to me. i hugged him the rest of the night until i fell asleep.
as for the trauma part of my story. ever since it happened i think about it constantly throughout the day and whenever i think about sirens or hear sirens now i want to curl up and cry. i haven't talked to anyone about this situation but i might be going to see my best friend this weekend so i'll definitely be telling her all about all my problems (more specifically gay people problems)
another time (idk if this might be related) (this was before a couple nights ago) there were a lot of sirens going off and suddenly i hear a medium-large bang like someone dropping something super heavy outside. my mom rushed upstairs and gather me and my two sister (my brother was sound asleep) and took us into our tiny storage closet were there were no windows. the next day i'd found out the loud bang noise was a gun and i was in close proximity to a gun. (also the seven elevens sign was all beat up)
just the thought of being in close proximity of a gun is terrifying for me and i come from a family who have multiple guns and hunts all the time. this easter my uncle, grandpa, cousin's friend's dad, and dad were outside (with multiple kids under 10) and we heard them firing guns twice and i almost started bawling.
i know the next time sirens go off i'll be having another one of these so my heart goes out to everyone who deal with panics attacks regularly. i could never even imagine the shit y'all go through everyday. stay strong!

Due to an incident at an underground bio lab a new strand of fluffies has been released into the world
Scary fluffies are fluffies who were subjects to strange and horrible experiment. Luckily for them one of the tests transformed 5 into weird monsters who now roam. The 5 categories shall be described below

1. Spoopy: this category is the least dangerous. Spoopy fluffies are fluffies who are basically like a regular fluffy but they might be a lil scary. A deformity or weird behaviors afflict these guys, they also lack pain receptors and don't even know when they're hurt. These fluffies are found anywhere, they can survive easily in the wild or in a home
   
2. Spooky: spooky fluffies look just like a regular fluffy But are exactly as smart as humans. They speak like a human and not in fluffy speak. These ones call themselves "brainers". These ones are usually dangerous as they understand what happens to fluffies and will often set up traps for humans to fall into. They are much more sturdy too
   
3. Horror: these flufflies are as large as horses and are extremely aggressive. These ones aren't all that interesting but they do enjoy gore and blood. They die rather quickly from self inflicted wounds when they reach teenage stage. Those who live to adulthood are called "ouchers" and often take care of hoards of fluffies
   
4. Grimm: these fluffies are horrifying to look at. Due to the pure terror and fear they bring to everything around them they often move to larger outside areas and live off small animals that die from shock at it's appearance. These ones are about the size of a medium dog and act like a regular fluffy, although they cannot understand the terror they produce
   
5. Terror: terror fluffies are the most dangerous. Even though the other categories are scary this one is terrifying for it's own way. These were made by combining human, orangutan, whale, and flat worm genes. What was found in the abandon facility was a true abomination. It was a massive brute with long arms and hands with a permanent grin slapped on its equine face. It was a mixture of methods that made the spooky, horror, and Grimm flufflies that produced this monster. It began to call itself Azrael and swore to make humans pay for it's creation and the creation of fluffies as a whole. The worst part about this beast is that it can both regenerate from most wounds & make sarcastic remarks about it.
   

That concludes this concludes our fluffy instructional episode. See you next time!

Tonight, I was looking for my headphones as I had lost them the night before. I didn't see them, put something in my bag, and went to take care of wrappers and dishes.
When I came back to my room, my headphones were placed neatly on my bag. I was at first confused because I know I messed with my bag so they couldn't have been there originally.
Because my sense of fear kicked in, I called my dog in the room, closed my door, and turned my ceiling fan off to see if I could listen for breathing in my room. Sure enough, I proceed to hear three loud breaths that were hard to predict where they were coming from directionally.
True fear started to settle in, so I checked my closet and under my bed. I debated on waking my parents up to check my room, but settled for waking up my brother instead. He shot up and checked basically the whole house and found no one.
There's no way anyone could have gotten in from my window, it was locked. My closet and bed were both clear. There's no way anyone could be hiding in the room adjacent to it because my dog was in there. I was in the kitchen, which gives me a direct view to the bathroom, my brother's room, and the room next to mine.
Can someone possibly please explain and help me sleep better at night?

To preface, I am in no way currently able to own a dog.
With that said, I do have some questions about the breed.

How do they do with cats?
How much training do they need?
Are they generally okay being left alone for long periods of time?
Are they a decent choice for a first time dog owner? I've had cats all my life but my baby is now a grumpy old man and I would like a dog in the near future (but will always have at least one cat)

Acceptance as a conditionality
You can't fully accept the life’s challenges because the response of the chitta (heart-mind) is not a choice. It is habitual. There is no choice. It is anatta. It simply follows what it is conditioned to do. This conditionality brings us to the purpose of meditative training which is to recognise and change the patterns of the chitta by observing conditions.
It takes effort to not accept. If you can not accept, then acknowledge this, notice the effort that underlies that resistance and soften/relax into that effort. Accept and own that you can not accept and this is perfectly okay.
Your mind has a problem because it has an expectation as to where it should be. Notice the effort that underlies that expectation and awareness will naturally rest within your body. Soften and relax any expectation now and see how it naturally sinks and abides there. You don't need a target. It is natural that awareness rests in the heart when all resistance is abandoned, even if that is for a short time. This can be known as true.
Kayagatasati
Kayagatasati is not about you, it is about training a the mind that is averse towards the heart, the mind that is scared of seeing its own reflection within the body.
Getting awareness to rest within the body rather than in the intellectual mind is like trying to force a cat to move from its safe place under a car on the side of the road to a mat you have placed next to the neighbour’s dog. Why would the cat want to rest here when it believes that its old resting place was safe and this one dangerous. You are trying to make the cat rest where you want it to sit, and this very act signals danger to the cat. Of course it will keep trying to run away towards what is known to be safe, even if that place truly isn't.
The mind and the heart are habitual: we get what we practice
You are an intellectual. You possibly therefore find pleasure in intellectual things. You have developed your intellectual muscle so that it has become very strong by delighting in mental weightlifting. You practice this every day for many years, it is valuable to you.
I find no pleasure in intellectual things, I find delight in finding a cool spot to sit under the shade of a tree, cool, calm, still. I find no delight in thinking about the world or in reading about it, I find delight in experiencing the world through my senses as if this was the first time I had done so. I particularly find joy in feeling my way through the world, through my body: kayagatasati.
Practice
Create boundaries for your mind regarding expected behavior. I find using doorways useful for this. Every doorway is a transition point that signals an expected change in behavior. The street, the front door of your home, bedroom, bathroom, nightclub door, each door defines expected behaviors. We are trained in this from childhood. The mind understands this. If it doesn’t, there is conflict in society.
Bundaries
Does your mind have boundaries?
Is there an appropriate times for intellectual activities or does your mind carry it from the university classroom into the hallway, from the hallway to the bathroom, from the bathroom out into the street, from the street into your home?
Like teaching a child boundaries and appropriate behavior in different situations, we need to create and teach boundaries to the mind. Now, in teaching a child you can do it by scolding them or by praising them. It’s better to help them to find joy in good behavior and praising their successes.
The mind inclines towards pleasure
Use doorways as a recognized reset point where you soften/relax all effort and allow awareness to rest/sense within your body. Don't give attention to bad behavior but instead gently bring awareness back to your body in a soft and gentle way when it habitually leaves it.
Take joy in short successes, find the pleasure and delight in short periods of presence. Smile into it with your eyes, teach your mind that kayagatsati is not what it needs to do, but rather something that is pleasurable to do.
Like the cat, awareness will naturally rest in your body when it finds it a safe and pleasurable thing to do. Any attempt to make it do this forcefully will only make it feel unsafe and it will find its safety in the old behavior. This is simply a matter of repetition and finding the pleasure in it, the joy of letting go of the effort that underlies intellectual activities.
Note: Stephen's response to my question was very thorough. It addressed the root cause of the issue and offered a practical solution. I found it so valuable that I slighted edited it for readability and saved it as my practice guide for kayagatasati. I realized that this response might be helpful for the whole MIDL community. So, I am sharing it here.

Kære hestenet.
Jeg skiftede forsikringsselskab. Mine forsikringer skulle opsiges (af mit nye selskab) til hovedforfald (hhv. 1/6 for motorcykelforsikring og 1/8 for bilforsikring).
6/6 modtog jeg imidlertid et udbetalingsbrev for min bilforsikring på 304.07 DKK som tilgodehavende for 31/5 - 31/7.
7/6 snakkede jeg med en repræsentant for det gamle selskab. Bilforsikring var opsagt til 1/6 ved en fejl fra deres side (heldigvis har jeg ikke kørt bil eller er blevet stoppen i perioden jeg har været uforsikret). Gamle forsikringsselskab lavede en ny forsikring for de to måneder.
Jeg har dog fået en betalingsplan of for de to måneder vil de have 1061.69 DKK, kan det virkelig passe at jeg skal lide et tab på 757.62 DKK for deres fuckup?. Bevares, det er ikke en månedsløn, men de har endda indrømmet at fejlen lå hos dem?
Kan/skal jeg ringe og "råbe" af dem? hvad gør man lige?
edit: "råbe" i situationstegn, jeg råber selvfølgelig ikke af en stakkels kundeservicemedarbejder :)

Thank you U/Ricethebear, for the nice washi tape and the dot stickers. I was looking on Pinterest and found some ideas on using the color swatches. Thanks for all the goodies.
U/Queen_4_tsunami, thank you for the lovely corgi with a birthday hat it looks so lovely. Sorry to hear about your farm at least you still are able to have some animals plus your dogs. That’s an interesting amount of dogs that you have, the most I’ve had were 7. The mom and 6 puppies, it was so much fun watching them grow.
U/Kindconcept, thank you for such a lovely black and white card of the Eskimo and his huskies. It’s very cute specially the puppies.
U/GothWitchOfBrooklyn, I love the Dragon Bridge postcard you sent me, the colors of the postcard are really nice.
U/ScoobySquads, thanks for the nice art postcard. I will look into your recommendation.
Thank you to U/56Thorns and U/UseYourRuler, for the nice postcard of Niagara Falls with the fireworks in the background. Glad you had fun at the Falls and hope you won lots of money at the casino. The Falls is one place I really would love to go see one of these days.
Thank you all.😊

Mum died two months ago. It has been up and down, but for the last few days I've been feeling really, really bad. I'm having nightmares. I'm waking up with that horrible feeling like someone is sitting on my chest. I'm anxious about everything. Completely unproductive with work. Physically sick because of how anxious I'm making myself.
I felt like things were starting to get easier. Last week I had a cold and so almost exclusively worked from home. I felt like it really helped me to establish a routine that had room for movement - e.g., if I woke up feeling bad or had a really bad night sleep, I had the freedom to sleep in for half hour more, or take 30 minutes to go walk my dog and settle down, or just the freedom to cry - kinda that chance to reset. I'm back to a really hectic workload this week, all face to face, and I feel like I'm chasing my tail. I feel horrible but have to keep pushing through because of all the things I have to do. I get home at night and crash out because I feel so exhausted carrying all of this stress and sadness and anxiety around. And needing to 'mask' it for people is exhausting as well.
I hate this time. I feel like too much time has surpassed for the dead mum excuse to fly - I feel pressure that work expects me to be back to 100%. Honestly the way I've felt the last few days feels like the first few days all over again. This is so horrible :(

so i recently moved to this house and there’s this cat that lives under it and is also coming inside somehow through a little hole in the floor (it’s cheap rent idek). I’m 90% sure it’s a girl cus my cat doesn’t try to fight it (he hates male cats). she looks healthy and has a little bell collar so i’m not sure if she’s lost an outside cat or has been abandoned. she also might only be healthy cus she’s been secretly stealing cat and dog food from here so idk. she’s afraid of me and takes off when she sees me but i’ve been leaving her food out separate now. what can i do about this cat so i can catch her.

i’m taking AP spanish senior year and am considering starting studying this summer because my classmates that took it junior year made it sound like dog. so… how hard is the exam really?
for reference, i’m at an honors spanish 3 level with a moderate proficiency in spanish and i think i’m decent at least.

Dear All,
I wanted to gauge the general price point and what others are paying for insurance
German Shepard Age 4 Hip Dysplasia (caught during breeding screening) Insurance company unaware, as no issues. He's been with the same insurwnfe company throughout since we've had him(Many Pets). No missed payments. No claims. Our premium has gone from £52 to £74 this year. He's covered for life, up to £7000/yr.
I'm reluctant to change insurance company but prices are rapidly going up each year inline with inflation and age of dog.
How much do you pay for your dog insurance? Do you think this price is fair and reasonable?
Best wishes

So, a bit about myself... I'm 20, Italian, 175cm (5'7"), brown hair and eyes. (Here's a couple of pics: https://imgur.com/a/9RVBwr5 , https://imgur.com/a/5zk0sLf)
I study Computer Engineering in Florence, and my main hobbies are gaming (mainly Apex Legends and Souls games Elden Ring, Bloodborne, etc...), listening to heavy/power metal and hard rock music (even though I don't have the stereotypical dark edgy look associated with metalheads lol) but I don't mind pther genres as long as I find a song interesting I'm probably gonna listen to it, also I like to listen to true crime podcasts like "The Casual Criminalist", playing chess, watching lots of youtube vids and laughing at dumb memes on the internet, I love dark humor, something on the lines of Ricky Gervais or Dave Chappelle, but I don't mind other types of humor like George Carlin's social critic type comedy.
I read some books and mangas every now and then but I wouldn't consider my self a big reader (currently I'm reading H.P. Lovecraft's “Cthulu” and Masaaki Ninomiya's “Gannibal”). Also I don't really now if this really matter but my clothing style is casual, you know a shirt/hoodie a pair of jeans and training shoes (very minimalistic basically).
I'm a bit goofy and I often joke around with the people I connect, and I get clingy fairly quickly 😅.
I love animals, I have 2 dogs and a cat, so if you like animals too that's gonna be a plus.
I'm looking for someone with similar interests, I don't really care about how you look as long as we are kindred spirits it can work for me, the only deal breakers for me are far right political ideas.
Finally, distance... I of course would prefer someone that lives near me but I wouldn't necessarily exclude a LDR as long as we can "click" together.

Hey all,
Me and my roommate swear up and down we’ve seen this before, but we’re not sure if we’re just Mandela effect-ing ourselves.
This episode TRAUMATIZED me as a kid, and I completely believed that this kid-friendly show suddenly put in a viciously graphic death as a season finale. I tried searching for this episode with the “Robot Chicken” keywords and couldn’t find anything.
The episode goes like this:
It’s completely stop motion in the style of Wallace and Gromit. There’s a house divided by a long residential road. I can’t remember if it’s a single house or a suburb.
The episode starts with the dog saying bye to Wallace. He starts walking towards the road. As soon as he crosses the road, he immediately gets hit by a car. He doesn’t fly away though. He gets mauled by it, squished underneath it as Wallace looks on in horror.
He picks himself up, slightly scuffed but still alive. At this point, he throws a thumbs up to Wallace as if to reassure him that he’s okay. Just as quickly, another car comes. And another. And another. The dog progressively gets more and more mutilated, eventually ending with him missing an eye, an eye hanging out of the socket, a missing arm, and blood all over.

I've been learning about socialism for over a year, and I have leaned socialist for a few months now. What convinced me was that companies/business owners pay their workers as little as possible in order to achieve high profits for themselves. Socialism is the process of seizing the workplace and ousting the boss because they don't need the boss, they can distribute the profits amongst themselves, the ones who actually work. A very good glimpse into socialism was when one owner of a pizza place decided to pay his workers the profits of one day of work, instead of keeping it for himself.
https://labor411.org/411-blog/pizza-workers-make-78-hour-when-boss-gives-them-days-profits-instead-of-keeping-them-for-himself/
They made $78 dollars an hour.
However I do still have some questions that stick out in my mind that I have not yet thoroughly researched that'll determine for me if capitalism can be regulated/overcome, which socialists disagree with.
Namely, that is large corporations and the whole "Owners incurred risk and the workers didn't."
I don't think anyone can disagree that because a entrepreneur risks their money and a worker does not that, the entrepreneur should be the one taking the profits home. But now let's say time passes, the business becomes massive and opens new locations, and then the owner gets hit by a bus, attacked by dogs, and drowns in the Atlantic never to be seen again.
Where do investors come into play?
Who now manages the purchases of the raw materials (like meat for burgers, graphite for a pencil factory, etc), the physical money that comes in from sales, and the new locations? (the administrative processes, basically). Hell I know business owners don't work alone as many businesses begin with 2 friends coming together. I mean, does an admin even have to be an owner or can it be a position to be applied for just like a cashier?
This is a round about way of saying, after all the initial people who incurred the risk are gone, can the company just go to the workers? There is definitely more to it that just that.
I used to work at a hotel that was founded before 1900. My job was actually kinda useless, so despite me already leaning socialist I realized that I couldn't say I was being exploited without sounding like a fool (bellhop). The real ones who provide the hotel it's value are the caretakers, the ones who clean and organize the rooms, fix broken lights, repair elevators, etc. There must be someone who is receiving the surplus value who did not incur the risk 100 years ago, as the hourly wage for being a housekeeper is $15/hr.
I might be all over the place but you get the gist of it
