I spent almost two years in a small travel trailer with my partner and my dog road tripping across our country. We saw 29 states and 31 national parks, while staying for free (legally) on public land. We ran out of money and have some repairs and upgrades to make on our trailer before we get back out on the road in a few years.

Love all your euphemisms. We always just called it nose beers

Thank you I also think he’s got a beautiful booty.

When we first got him we brought him to my sisters house to meet her dogs. She has a pool and he tried to step on a floatie thinking it was solid and fell into the pool. He hated the water for almost two years. But after spending a day at a lake with some friends and their dogs he got up his courage and got back in the water. Now we have a hard time getting him out of the water.

This is an elevated version of the 'clear out the last few things from the fridge to make it to payday" meals I remember from my childhood. Needs to be plated on a TV tray in a cigarette smelling room to complete the meal.

HVAC is just the Patrick star push the city meme with heat

Ubik ahh fucking society

Albino Cattle Dog

I’d fight a komodo dragon, not because I belive I would win, but because it’s a dope way to go

Jfc you sound like my therepist

This is a great tool that will help me achieve my goals of being the most in debt dead man to ever live

Bigger, faster, and hungrier than ever

I’ve never actually met a dog who had eaten. They are all starving based on their actions

Use what your comfortable with. I run my server on arch because I’m familiar with it and know how to work it.

Top three human experience

It’s a fun sandbox. Lots of different things to do

Dogs learn through pattern recognition. If they get a reaction they like after an action they will repeat that action. Attention (eye contact) and physical touch as well as treat rewards will reinforce behavior. My pup was very very vocal and barked for all his needs when we brought him home from the shelter. We had to avoid eye contact, and not give any physical attention when he was barking to show this is not behavior that will be rewarded. After a while he’d get board of barking, and would let out a whine. When he whined we would look at him and ask what he needs/wants and try to give it to him. This taught him that barking is not what you do when you want/need something. He still barks when we play but it’s no longer his main form of communication.

When leash training, be consistent with your expectations. We stop at every single curb and we give the release (saying “OK”) before we allow him to step off the curb. It didn’t take long before he was stopping at the curbs and waiting for the release without any input on our end.

If your dog is pulling while walking on leash hold onto the leash and come to a stop (do not yank or pull on the leash) and wait for the dog to let the pressure off by moving towards you. And stop like this every time they pull on the leash, it’s annoying to the dog because they can’t get to what they are pulling towards. After they release the pressure let them go smell what they were pulling towards as a reward for good behavior.

Using treats can make it easy to mark behaviors you like, but you need to adjust feeding to make sure your dog isn’t getting too many calories.

I’m a big believer in positive reinforcement and mark and reward training, I suggest looking into how those work.

I like it when my partner commits crimes and when the heat gets too high she let’s me escape from the fuzz. Besides Mario party and mini golf it’s one of the few games she has fun playing, and we can do it together

Calibre combines duplicates and then I just select the file type I want when I download the book to my reader.

Jesus would open a whip braiding co-op if he heard that stat

I always keep my originals. I did a large batch conversion from .mobi to .epub back in the day and there were some formatting issues on quite a few of the converted books. Always nice to have the originals on hand in case something goes wrong, especially considering the miniscule file size
