Have a 10 hour layover in a couple weeks, and besides food, any particular stores for sunscreen or any cosmetics recommended? Am flying United/ANA but not sure which terminal that will be. Thank you!

About to buy a new iPhone. Thinking about getting this card due to nice sub (300 cash back) and not (likely) counting towards 5/24 as a business card.

For the 3% categories, this card has “computer services”…does anyone know if Apple Store purchases count there (examples they give include Dell, Adobe, website hosts) as that would make this an even better choice for the iPhone purchase. Thank you!

Not sure if this is a native or introduced/invasive, photographed ~June 11 (reminds me a little of crown vetch which I know is invasive…)—-all help appreciated!

Has anyone here used the services of a dog chiropractor?

I am considering taking one of my dogs (just about 14 months old, agility training in progress, fast cats, doing some dock work) to see if he needs to be adjusted. He has recently had a check up from an orthopedist who had taken radiographs and has no diagnosed problems and is in good shape, all clear for sports, but he doesn’t seem to extend his rear legs as much as I’d like/vet said he has somewhat tight hip flexors. She gave me some cavaletti work and exercises to do which I’m doing but am curious if maybe a chiropractor could be an aid here as well.

I don’t know if I “believe” in chiropractors or not since I have zero experience

Development of plasma and whole blood taurine reference ranges and identification of dietary features associated with taurine deficiency and dilated cardiomyopathy in golden retrievers: A prospective, observational study

Results

Golden retrievers eating non-traditional diets had significantly lower taurine concentrations and more frequent systolic dysfunction. Breed specific reference intervals are higher than previously reported across breeds.

Conclusions

Non-traditional diets, which were typically grain-free and contained legumes in this study, were significantly associated with and have i

Thanks to all the nice people here who mentioned the plum planner for organizing your training more! Mine came today and I’ve filled in my week already! Only complaint was no dog related cover to choose for it, but the cheetah cover I got is pretty cool too.

For anyone who hasn’t yet experienced this awesome planner, I posted mine on my ig here https://www.instagram.com/p/CAGeCDPJgX1/?igshid=1d8n6qmbyujni

Hi All,

I don’t do any sort of bitesports and don’t have any experience there at all, just average knowledge (and think it would be amazing to try someday but not a current plan or goal, I’m just so impressed by it and think a lot of what’s good works across multiple sports). I love listening to all kinds of training podcasts and listen to ones such as drinking from the toilet, cog dog radio, and bad dog agility.

There are some podcasts I’ve come across that are from people who focus more on bitesports and I’d like to know, from those in the know, who there is worth listening to in the sense that they’re just good trainers? I’ve loved listening to Michael Ellis interviews (how I’ve wandere

So I just ordered a treat and train and while I bought it for a specific training reason, I’d love to hear any and all behaviors people have used it for to get the most out of it.

For reference I have three (small) poodles: 3yo is currently competing in AKC agility and is my first agility dog (we are in open and excellent currently...thought we’d be maybe in masters by now but...Corona), puppy is just about to turn a year and will hopefully be a great little agility dog and has a lot of his foundations down, and the oldest whom is 8yo, I’ve done tons of trick training, rally, and currently am only doing fast cats as far as anything formally competitive. All three do fitness work with balanc

Sparked by the appreciative spouse thread, curious for opinions in why do we see so many women in dog sports vs. men? To be clear I am a woman asking this.

I don’t think this is a controversial statement and I’m sure stats back it up...in most dog sports I have attended, it’s mostly women (especially obedience, rally, agility and in general, all the training classes I’ve attended. I went to a weekend jumping seminar recently with 30 participants and it was only women!).

This seems especially true at the non-international levels/in the USA.

I don’t compete in bite sports or hunt trials but have the impression there are more men/men are higher than women in numbers there? Please chime in h
