I’ve been house sitting for a friend for a week now. I lived in an old cabin, about 300 sqft with my girlfriend and future wife. While we were outof the house and didnt have any dogs (I foster for a rescue), we decided to shampoo and clean our carpets. I left a box on the stove, seeing as how nobody would be using it anytime soon. My girlfriend went to the house to feed and care for our 7 cats on March 30th, at 8AM. She walked into a house filled with smoke, and immediately saw one of our seven babies, passed on the floor and covered in soot. A fire occurred, one of the cats hopped onto the stove and managed to push a button and turned a burner onto high. Its an old GE stove from like the 40s with push buttons on the very top. The box caught fire, and with it, my cabin. They all passed from smoke inhalation and the fire choked itself out due to all the windows being closed. Atlas, Vesper, Moira, Thea, Sabine, Moonie, and Chicken. Atlas was my cat of 4 years, and has been with me my entire adult journey. A friend and I got him for my dad as a fathers day gift, and my father didnt like him. Soon after I moved out, I was called to come get him out of a tree he had been in for 3 days. That day I took him home with me and its been me and him until i met my girlfriend. Vesper, we got her from a humane society out in Flagstaff, and she refused to really befriend us but that was okay we loved her nonetheless. Moira was our first cat adopted from the rescue we’re with and acted like she was half orange despite being a tuxedo. Thea and Sabine were our orange’s. Most cuddly and goofy kitties i’ve ever had and I loved them with all of my heart. Moonie was an impulse adoption from my girlfriend, and we thought he was a girl at first. His full name is One-Eyed Moonie, as he was born with one eye. I have a post of him on here. Chicken was a foster that was going to be adopted out, but she didnt make it to her first event. As far as I’m concerned, she is part of my family and we loved her. I am so so sorry my beautiful babies. submitted by /u/TromboneKuri to r/cats [link] [comments]

I need the community that can understand right now. Today is a nice, warm day. After a couple weeks of rain, snow, tornados, and varying, crappy (midwestern) weather. It was a nice 86°F/30°C. I decided to bathe my dogs outside. I have a hot water tap on my outdoor faucet just for this. So I get the water comfortable and begin bathing the dogs with the husky. About halfway through a police officer pulls into my driveway, gets out, and walks to the gate. He asks me what’s going on and watches for a few minutes. I’m shampooing my dog and she’s screaming like she was hit by a car. He asks if that typical. Yes, sir, it is. He laughs a little and tells me they received a call of a dog possibly being abused or in need of emergency vet care due to the screaming. I’m embarrassed, apologized, and try to distract her with the peanut butter (but it never works). He makes a note in the system in case anyone else calls and leaves laughing his ass off. Thanks, Jinx, you dramatic little butthole. Get the cops called on me. submitted by /u/HoundIt to r/husky [link] [comments]

I am NOT the Original Poster. That was licewife. He posted in r/relationships Thanks to u/Awwndrei for finding this one! These posts are over 10 years old. Trigger Warning: mental health issues; lice infestation Mood Spoiler: gross and also frustrating but seems to have an ok ending? Also this might make your head feel itchy, fair warning. Original Post: January 25, 2016 Hi, this is embarrasing. We've been together for 4 years, have a couple of kids, and are doing fine, just fyi. My wife went for a haircut like 8 months ago and was embarrased to find out she had lice and they wouldn't cut her hair. We assumed she got it from a friend's daughter who we hadn't seen in months since she had lice and would stay over often and even gave it to our son. We used those lice combs and treatments a few times but my wife has very long and fine hair so we missed some and accomplished virtually nothing. Now I'm not upset because we've been unsuccessful. I'm upset because in the last six months, my wife has not attempted any treatment at all. She has been completely ignoring the problem and gets annoyed at me when I bring it up. She /always/ has an excuse ready for why she can't do anything about it at the moment and has probably set at least a dozen dates where she says she'll set time aside to handle it but something always comes up or she just forgets. Last week, she called a service that treats lice but didn't get a call back and never followed up. Now she says she'll call again next week because she doesn't have any money. I don't want to lose my family over such a seemingly stupid issue but I really just never saw myself married to someone who lacks the resolve to get rid of a bug infestation in their own hair. It's disgusting, it is a turn-off, it's selfish (she'll give it to me or my kids eventually), and it is indicative of a much larger character flaw that I can't quite put my finger on. Even aside from all of that, the everyday nuissance of having bugs in her hair is very irritating. We can't spoon, she can't get a haircut even though she desperately needs one, she'll put her head on mine without thinking during sex and it will completely ruin the mood for me, etc. The worst thing is that she's super insecure about it and also acts like nothing is really wrong since she's getting it taken care of soon. But she's been acting like this for over 6 months and still treats me like I'm being an ass if I bring it up. She reacts like I'm making a jab at her looks or her weight. I'm extremely confident at this point that if I were to just ignore the issue and let her handle it in her own time (like I was doing for months) that this might possibly never be resolved. Unless people here convince me it's a stupid idea, I'm probably going to show her this. I've tried talking to her about it but it doesn't accomplish anything and she just immediately gets irritated and changes the subject. EDIT: There is a lot of misinformation about lice here. Keep these facts in mind before adding to the problem: Lice only survive off of the host for like a day. Lice can't jump or fly. Lice don't carry diseases. Pets can't get lice. I 100% do not have lice and neither do my kids so please stop telling me we do. [Editor's note: I checked into all of these and they seem to be true. Animals can get lice, but dogs can only get dog specific lice, and so on] tl;dr: Wife has lice but doesn't do anything about it. It's embarrasing and is making me question what kind of person I am spending the rest of my life with. Some of OOP's Comments: Deleted: "Unless people here convince me it's a stupid idea, I'm probably going to show her this." It's a stupid idea. You'll come across as weak and it will validate her belief that this is all a personal attack. A far better idea is to organize the treatment yourself and drive her ass to it. Call the place, set an appointment time, "Get in the car, I am driving you to get the bugs in you hair removed for the sake of everyone else in the family", walk her into the clinic or whatever and wait in the waiting room. OOP: Good point. I've gotten more assertive when pressing this issue lately but I really want her to just get this taken care of herself like a normal, responsible adult. If I have to treat her like a child to get this taken care of then I'm acknowledging that I'm married to someone who can't even handle this themselves... :/ fluffybunnybutts: If her only excuse is not having money then you pay for it. At this point, you probably need to de-louse your whole house. This is just going to get worse and worse. OOP: That's not her only excuse, that's her most recent excuse. There is always an excuse but this week's was money since we just had car trouble and bought some plane tickets. I've offered to pay for it for months. "de-louse your whole house." The worst part is that we moved in with my folks for a few months to save on rent while we had a bit of a money crisis. It's embarrasing just thinking about and certainly not fair to them. I'd probably just crawl into a corner and die if my mom mysteriously got lice. Gulliverlived: Um, plane tickets? Wtf is wrong with the two of you? Yes, you too. You have children, you're living in your parents house, you're blithely traveling. What adult behaves like this, much less two? OOP: (downvoted) If you must know, someone died. colakoala200: I think you've been letting her deal with the issue on her own way too much. You need to step up and take charge of her infestation yourself and clear it out. This means setting aside about one to two hours a day for you to go through your wife's hair with a fine tooth comb and strong light, picking nits out with your fingernails. This means using all the tricks: the lice shampoo every few days, the vinegar thing, the olive oil thing, all of it. You commit yourself to it and work on it every day until you haven't seen any nits for a week. If you sit several feet away from her and your way of dealing with the problem is to nag her to deal with her own lice... which she actually can't do (no one really can), then no wonder she gets sensitive about it. If you really don't want to get involved, you should be the one to find someone who will. Having lice is not a hygiene thing. It's an affliction. You need to treat this like she's sick, not like she's lazy. OOP: I've done this. She'll make an excuse as to why she can't do it today and promise we'll do it tomorrow. Tomorrow will bring a brand new excuse. I have brought home treatments from the pharmacy and scheduled days where I could comb and apply them. Short of demanding she sits down and lets me treat her lice with some sort of ultimatum, there's nothing I haven't done. OOP on ignoring commenters who say he has lice: (downvoted) I have been ignoring these because I don't have lice. Neither does my son and my daughter doesn't really have hair yet. I check my son regularly and myself. Both of us get haircuts every month as well and barbers/stylists do not cut hair that has lice in it. To another commenter: I know that this thread has already decided that I have lice but I don't. I have short hair and get it cut regularly. Barbers/stylists look for lice and won't touch your hair if you have them. Also with my hair color, lice would be extremely noticable and I check often. Does wife really have lice? Yes, I have seen them. Update Post: January 29, 2016 (4 days later) Hello. After several months of absolutely no progress, I really wasn't expecting to have an update for you all after just a few days but here it is! I talked to her when I got home and managed to find a few minutes alone without distractions and asked her for a status update on the lice removal. Long story short, I was met with another excuse as to why it would have to wait until next week and my foot came down. I don't think she took it seriously until later on in the night when we went to bed. I slept on our futon instead of with her and also turned her down for sex, which is something that I am pretty sure has happened only like twice in our entire relationship. The very next day she called and made an appointment to get professionally de-loused. I went with to the appointment and they were able to check me as well. The woman did not find anything in my hair even with a magnifying glass and a UV light that apparently makes the nits glow. My wife was treated and is now lice free. We talked afterwards about why it took so long for her to get it taken care of. Many of you were right; she was embarrassed, broke, discouraged from the hours we wasted trying to treat it ourselves in the beginning, and it was just easier for her to not think about it. Also, once we moved into my parent's house, she was even more embarrased and did not want them to know about it. Pretty much all of the at-home treatments would be a dead giveaway. She apologized, vacuumed, did all of our laundry and bedding, and we have put this annoyance behind us. We also checked our son when he got home from school and he's in the clear too. So that's that! Still have to get to the bottom of why someone would think it's preferable to have lice than to deal with the embarrasment of people knowing you have lice, but I think that's one of those pesky communication things that we have to work on. Thanks very much to those of you that responded with legitimate advice. I got over 100 PM's after my post was locked regarding lice treatments that you found successful lol. Since the last post got a ton more attention than I was expecting and the comments were like 60% misinformation about lice, I'll clear a few things up with info that I learned from the professionals at the delousing clinic (I hope this isn't against the rules): Lice can't live anywhere except on a human head and they die about 24 hours if they are away. Since they die so quickly, it's not possible to have a "lice infestation" in your home or on your furniture. All we were told to do to make sure she doesn't get re-infected from a stray lice was to either stay away from unwashed pillows/hats/bedding for a couple days or to wash it in hot water. Some people are immune to lice and differen't "families" (the word the delouser used) of lice only like certain types of hair. In other words, it's entirely possible to live with someone with lice and not get lice. tl;dr: Good talk, no more lice, still unresolved root issues, progress! Some of OOP's Comments: To a deleted commenter: Yeah, that's definitly the underlying issue. A big part of that issue is likely the way I approached her about it but we both are coming to terms with our faults. "Do you two normally keep your finances separate, to the point where she wouldn't feel comfortable asking you for help paying for a medical issue like this?" Our finances aren't really seperate at the moment. 100% of my money is getting thrown at our debt and we have been living off of the cash she makes serving. Money is super tight but she never hesitates to ask if she needs it. She was just using it as an excuse because she didn't want to deal with the problem. almosttan: Sweet Jesus I never imagined a restaurant server with head lice. OOP: Lice can't jump or fly. Also, servers keep their hair tied up so hair doesn't fall out and get into food. There's a reason it's mostly kids and their parents that get head lice and that reason is that it's virtually impossible to spread without direct head-to-head contact or, to a much lesser extent, both people having direct contact with the same object...with their heads. I'm having a hard time even imagining a plausible scenario where a restaurant server spreads lice to a patron. Finances: Yeah, that's definitly the underlying issue. A big part of that issue is likely the way I approached her about it but we both are coming to terms with our faults. Do you two normally keep your finances separate, to the point where she wouldn't feel comfortable asking you for help paying for a medical issue like this?

Money is super tight but she never hesitates to ask if she needs it. She was just using it as an excuse because she didn't want to deal with the problem. OOP follows up in a Comment: May 4, 2016 (3.5 months later) I'll have you know that nobody else in the house got lice. We got her treated by a pro a few days after posting and the de-louser person said that lice can be specific to certain hair types. Also since she was washing her hair and blow-drying it, that was killing most of them and the de-louser only found like 12 of them. submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

My husband (26M) and I (23F) currently live in an apartment with our roommate, our 4 year old child, and our two cats. Right now, we’re in the middle of moving my husband’s belongings in, so the apartment has been pretty chaotic there are large storage boxes everywhere, and things have been overwhelming. Earlier this week, my mom (47F) traveled out of town for a convention where she’s speaking. She asked if I could watch her dog a 3 year old pit mix from Thursday through Sunday so her husband (50M) could join her for the weekend. I agreed because I love their dog and was happy to help. Before picking him up, I called both of them to confirm his routine and make sure everything was okay. They both told me he was fine, just to take him out about four times a day. My mom’s husband mentioned that he had been peeing in one spot at home, but they thought it was just because he could smell previous accidents. However, when I picked him up, it was immediately clear something wasn’t right. He had a strong urine smell on him, and before even getting into my car, he urinated multiple times. When we got to my apartment, he continued to urinate frequently, but it wasn’t normal it was more like constant dribbling, and it would take him a long time to finish. Once inside, he kept trying to go to the bathroom throughout the apartment. I called my mom to explain what was happening, but she brushed it off and said he was probably just nervous. After talking with my husband, I called her again and pushed the issue more. That’s when she told me he had a UTI but also admitted he hadn’t actually been taken to the vet yet, even though they had said he was improving. I told her he clearly needs medical attention as soon as possible and offered to take him to the vet if they could set up the appointment. She responded that it would have to wait until next week because they need to prioritize a car payment. Since bringing him home, I’ve had to cover parts of my apartment with blankets and towels to manage the accidents. We’ve been taking him outside every hour, but he’s still urinating inside frequently. I don’t feel comfortable confining him to a small space like the bathroom, but managing this in an already crowded and stressful environment has been extremely difficult. At this point, I feel stuck. I want to help, but I also feel like I wasn’t given the full truth about his condition, and I’m now responsible for a situation that’s beyond what I agreed to handle. I need advice on what to do, if I should call her and say they need to come home early. I’m very lost and overwhelmed. *Edit: I forgot to add I had went to the store and bought him some over the counter medicine and some shampoo and conditioner. I don’t feel right not giving him a bath or medication. The chews that I got have cranberry and are for bladder issues. Update: I’m on my way to the emergency vet. I can’t morally do nothing and I tried calling the and they just argue with me about it and dismiss my feeling completely. Update 2: I’m trying to read as many comments as I can. We are at the animal hospital waiting for him to be seen. I should clear some things up. He is not a violent dog, he has let our child dress him up in tutus and princess crowns. Second I plan on cutting my mother off once they are back home, I’m also not sure the laws on surrendering him. I do not want to be in legal trouble for surrendering an animal that is not mine. I also am not worried about cleaning my house. It’s not his fault he’s peeing everywhere so I don’t mind cleaning up after him. From my phone calls with my mother she thought he had gone to the vet from what her husband said and then found out he did not. (Disclaimer I don’t believe them) I will be taking him home if that’s possible once he is seen and cleared. When I said I was a cat person what I meant is I don’t know much about dogs or what to do or common signs. I didn’t want to overreact, I will keep you all updated and let you know the outcome. Update 3: I’m hoping this will be the final update. We got him checked out and he has kidney stones. They gave us some medicine and also are putting him on a special diet. We are taking him home to keep a close eye on him and so that I can take him out frequently. I don’t want him peeing all over their house and lying in it. (I don’t know when he would be bathed if he did). I also will be keeping him so that I can rub around his lower abdomen to feel if the stones are moving. My mother is staying down there and my step father is coming back up tomorrow. I’m going to have a hard conversation with them and give them an ultimatum for him. I can’t begin to express how hurt I am by their actions and how much disappointment I have. At this point moving forward I am considering going no contact with my mother but I don’t know. If I can I’ll attach a picture of the very brave boy. He’s getting lots of cuddles tonight and my whole half of the bed. Thank you for the advice and I hope you all have a wonderful night. Final update: He’s doing a lot better today after starting his medication and pain medicine. He’s currently taken over the bed which I don’t mind at all. For those concerned about safety, he has been staying in my room with me while the cats have free roam of the apartment. The only time they come near each other is when we take him outside to use the bathroom and honestly, he’s more scared of them than anything. He has never hurt anyone or shown any signs of aggression. He’s a very sweet dog who would let you dress him up without a fuss. I’ve spoken with my mom and stepdad, and we’re discussing the possibility of finding him a new home. I truly wish I could take him in, but I don’t have the space or the financial ability to properly care for another animal, and it wouldn’t be fair to him. My cat is also around 7 years old, and I want her to live out the rest of her life comfortably without the stress of a dog. I’ll be staying in contact with my mom until he’s safely rehomed. After that, I plan to cut contact my relationship with her is complicated and something for another time. And for those saying this isn’t real I genuinely wish it wasn’t. I spent the entire night crying over him and what he’s going through. I was put in a position that was unfair to him and myself. It was cruel and I am more angry now than hurt. I turned to Reddit because I needed advice. Most of my family is no contact with my mom, and it was late, so no one was responding. My sister did answer, but she is also no contact and suggested more vindictive solutions, which isn’t what I want. If I could add a picture of him I would but I’m not tech savvy and honestly learning the ropes of Reddit still. Thank you for the kind messages and responses. submitted by /u/Large-Violinist-8947 to r/Advice [link] [comments]

My baby is slated to go over the rainbow bridge this Saturday. Not sure if I’m jumping the gun as there does not appear to be anything dire about his condition (yet) - please see context below: * Adopted him at age 12; he is now about 16 and a half * For the first couple years that I had him, he was very spritely and could go for long walks (despite his age) * over the last couple of years his mobility has steadily declined; he is still able to walk to the end of the block for most of his walks (albeit very, very slowly and with an awkward gait / lameness), but needs to be carried home * He struggles to stand on hardwood floors (often starts to splay out quite quickly), and refuses to wear grippy shoes - I tried using sticky paw pads but it seems like it hurts him when I remove them * He’s done 2 one month (twice weekly) courses of Adequan, and has been on a monthly Librela protocol for the last 3 years + daily supplements & fish oil * Despite this, he does have a significant limp / hangs his head / walks very slowly (people on the street often express sympathy / make comments when we pass), and when standing, is prone to twisting his spine / bending his legs - he does not fall on walks regularly, but it does happen ~1-2 times a month * He also has difficulty getting out of bed (I have to help him up around half the time) and often falls when getting into bed and will just lie there, half on the bed & half on the rug until I help him into it * I am concerned too about his ability to be comfortable while at rest - at least once a day he will cry to himself while lying down, for an extended period * He has recently started flinching more when I reach out to touch him, which makes me think he is in more pain than he seems at first blush * Over the last half year or so I’ve noticed he’s had diminished interest in engaging with me & my partner (less compelled to follow us around, seldom seeks attention, spends more time on his own), when he used to be a bit of a Velcro dog / cuddle bug * His displays of joy / contentment (like rolling on the rug) have also greatly diminished / ceased entirely * He has had mild urinary incontinence more or less since I got him, but this has progressed from occasional dribbling to fully soiling his diaper every night (even when I take him out right before bed) - despite regular baths with medicated shampoo, his groin is still inflamed / marked by diaper rash * He has very mild fecal incontinence that has been off and on, and is still able to defecate normally on walks (although it clearly puts a lot of strain on his back legs, and the poop often hits his legs because of how bent they are) * I’ve also noticed increased episodes of him staring vacantly, or pacing & crying while looking a bit disoriented - he seems to have trouble situating sounds (not sure if this is a product of diminished hearing or neurological decline) Despite all of this he: * Still demonstrates GREAT enthusiasm for food - will “run” to his bowl at dinner time (see video), scream at me for treats, hound my partner in the kitchen while cooking, etc. * has clear light in his eyes and looks at me with love & affection * Enjoys cuddling (doesn’t seek it out, but is happy to oblige when I scoop him up and put him on the couch / bed) * Can sometimes make it almost halfway around the block on walks before needing to be carried I’m feeling very torn, as I waited too long to put my last dog down, and had to do so in a way that was very traumatizing. I was racked by guilt and vowed to not let that happen again with any dog I had in the future. My thinking is that even though there is nothing gravely wrong with him, I’d rather protect him from the possibility of future suffering (I know his condition will only continue to deteriorate, and that he might experienced rapid decline). I want to enable him to enjoy his last days / give him a dignified end (leave the party while he’s still having some fun), and my vet is supportive of this. At the same time, I’m concerned that I’m depriving him of additional time that he could still enjoy, and that something in his eyes might be telling me that he isn’t ready to go quite yet. Would welcome any input / direction! Thank you so much in advance! submitted by /u/Far-Leading6534 to r/DogAdvice [link] [comments]
