Why Didn't CBD Work for My Dog?

You are not alone if you have offered your pet CBD items and have found yourself uncertain if it is working, or how long it takes to work. In reality, while many dogs quickly show improvements, some dogs take a little longer to feel the effects of CBD because each dog has specific endocannabinoid receptors. Much like every human being has a different response to various compounds, so do our pets.…

“Holy shit,” Todd said, hearing Dirk come in through the door he’d left propped open. “Did you know we can see the Washington Monument from here?”

Dirk joined him at the window and wrapped an arm around his middle from behind. He was suddenly feeling a bit clingy, like he was going to need to front load all the cuddles he could get, which was abjectly ridiculous. Todd had never shied away from that, if anything it was Dirk who’d been jumpy lately about tender little moments like this. Still, Dirk couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d be wanting more of this later but might not be able to get it. He hooked his chin over Todd’s shoulder and squinted out the window, not sure what Todd was referring to. 

“The bloke on the penny’s house?” he asked, not seeing it. “I don’t think he lives in DC anymore, Todd.”

“What?” Todd asked, pulling back a little to look at him before pointing at a large lit-up obelisk surrounded by illuminated American flags. “No, that. I’ve only ever seen it in movies, National Treasure didn’t prepare me for the real thing.”

“Ohhh,” Dirk said, comprehension dawning as he held Todd close to his front. “You mean the giant pencil statue.”

“The giant—Dirk, that’s the Washington Monument. As in George Washington? It doesn’t even look like a pencil.”

“Doesn’t look much like George Washington either,” Dirk mused, and whatever retort Todd had been about to fire back was interrupted by the sharp trill of Dirk’s phone.

Mild spoilers for a great show with great twists, but considering tumblr's love for dog-coded characters lately I feel like I need to share The Rowdy 3. Extremely dog-coded very bark

ok finally making that writing post-

hi! i’m Ryan, or Raines_Adopted_Son on AO3. i write fanfic (mainly angst) and my inbox/dms/ao3 comments r always open for requests, here are some guidelines:

fandoms i will write for: (keep in mind i join new fandoms all the time so if theres a fandom u want me to write that isnt here that u think i like just ask, i probably forgot to update it // will say next to the fandom if ive written for it before or not)

Stranger Things (written for it before)

The Spiderverse Movies (written for it before)

The Owl House (written for it before)

Nimona (haven’t written before)

PJO/Riordanverse (including mcga and tkc // written for it before)

ATLA (including lok/the kyoshi novels // written for it before)

Heartstopper/Osemanverse (haven’t written before)

Jackson’s Diary (written for it before)

Bungou Stray Dogs (haven’t written before)

The Dragon Prince (have written but never posted)

Derry Girls (haven’t written before)

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency (haven’t written before)

Good Omens (haven’t written before)

stuff i enjoy writing/specialise in:

shortish one-shots (1k-2.5k words // i would like to write longer and/or multichapter stuff, this is just my current level)

angst

hurt/comfort

heavier topics relating to mental health stuff (depression, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal characters, etc.)

queer (specifically trans) stuff

stuff i feel uncomfortable writing/am unsure if i’m able to write it but wanna push my boundaries on: (aka send me requests but theres less of a chance i’ll write it)

nsfw stuff/smut

depictions of abuse (non-romanticised obv)

depictions of SA (specifically just the recovery tho, i am NOT writing non-con)

longer fics

multichapter fics

pure fluff (idk if i’m able to write smthn w/o angst 😭)

stuff i will not write: (do not ask me to write this stuff :))

nsfw/smut of characters under the age of 15 (that being my current age // still kinda iffy abt characters 15-17 but yk)

stuff that romanticises things like SA or abuse

any ships where both a) at least one of the characters is a minor and b) the age gap is canonically 3 years or more (emphasis on canonically, looking at u punkflower antis)

incest

other stuff i wasn’t sure how to fit in:

when it comes to depicting types bigotry or hate or whatever theres some stuff i feel comfortable including and some stuff i dont (obviously in a non-romanticised way as just like part of what a character experiences):

homo/transphobia, i’m fine with including this, i am queer + trans and feel like i could sensitively depict those topics.

racism/xenophobia, i dont rlly feel comfortable writing abt this stuff given that i’m white i rlly dont think id be able to write that stuff properly like at all.

ableism/saneism, depends on the type tbh, maybe subtle ableism to an autistic character (i am autistic) and casual ableism to a chronically ill character (i am chronically ill) but other than that ehhhh

antisemitism, while i am Jewish and have experienced it myself, for personal reasons i’m not comfortable writing stuff including it, even if its subtle and not a big thing (other kinds of religious discrimination i wont write simply cause idk enough about allat and dont wanna be insensitive abt it)

thats all i could think of for that one but next thing: i dont like AUs. its not like i hate them or anything, and if i time traveled to the future and found out i learned to love them i would be ecstatic since thats more fics for me, but for some reason i just don’t enjoy reading/writing them (excluding canon divergence, i wouldn’t mind writing a fic with canon divergence // didn’t wanna put this in the hard-no section cause again its not like they’re smthn i hate or am disgusted by or anything, i just don’t find them appealing)

also if u dont know what i ship/what ships id be ok w/ writing just ask, a couple of them should be clear based on what i rb/post tho lmao (still if u gotta ask, ask)

anyways yeah thats all i could think of for now, i probably forgot smthn important so i might edit this later + lmk if u have any questions srsly id love to answer :)

no you guys dont understand the homeopath women are not "crunchy." they are not "granola." crunchy granola people go hiking during the winter and exclusively wear birkenstocks. they feed their dogs expensive all natural wet dog food. they dont use air conditioners in 103 degree heat because its bad for the environment. the holistic health women think saw palmetto cures cancer and feed their children colloidal silver. its DIFFERENT

The only fucking commercials I'm getting on tiktok are how I'm actually killing my cat by feeding him Hill's and need to switch him to raw RIGHT NOW which 1. His foods prescription 2. He was on a holistic diet when he got these health issues,

In [dog breeding] factories it can be entirely legal to keep a mother dog confined to a barren concrete cell in a shed for 23 hours a day, continually reimpregnated. They are denied love and companionship, treated instead as breeding machines.

Cooking with Dog: Francis will remain the only host on our channel

I discovered Cooking with Dog many years ago from a list of strange YouTube channels mentioned somewhere on the internet. It's a Youtube cooking web series hosted by an adorable poodle, Francis, who narrates the recipe of the food a Japanese lady, just known as Chef, cooks. Although I am too lazy to cook, I got addicted to the unique series because of the Japanese and English speaking Francis and the mysterious Chef. The channel's creative representation of Francis in the videos, after his death in 2016 (an irreplaceable loss), in both an animated and stuffed toy form has been comforting. What follows is a delightful chat I had with Cooking with Dog's producer and Chef.

Interviewer: What does it feel like to have had worked and gained global recognition with Francis, a multilingual poodle? 

Producer: Francis is such an iconic character in our show. Without his appearance, it would have been impossible to gain global recognition. Here is an interesting episode that happened during my trip to Thailand years ago. I called a guest house and booked a room. When I arrived, the owner of the guest house asked me what I do in Japan. I said I make videos for YouTube, and then his eyes lit up. He recognized Francis' voice over the phone! We miss Francis so much...

Interviewer: How challenging has it been for Cooking with Dog to be what it is today, especially with YouTube's constantly changing algorithm? 

Producer: A lot has changed on YouTube since we published our first Sukiyaki video on Sep. 9th, 2007. Recently, I asked the owner of a local Wagashi (Japanese traditional sweets) shop to let me film the process of making some traditional Japanese sweets. I hope you will enjoy this new "dogumentary"-style video as well.

You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/qsmZId-NVCc

Interviewer: Japan has so many people living for over a hundred years. As a Japanese, what does Chef think are some of the foods/ingredients that promote longevity? 

CHEF: Japan is surrounded by the sea on all sides, making it easy to access fish and seaweed. Additionally, we regularly consume fermented foods such as miso, soy sauce, and natto. I believe that the habit of consuming these nutritious foods has contributed to longevity. However, I am concerned that in recent times, with the easy availability of processed foods, the opportunity to consume these types of ingredients has decreased.

Interviewer: How do you imagine Cooking with Dog in the future? 

Producer: We have received many comments asking why we don't get another dog to replace Francis. I understand that people are curious about this. However, I would like to clarify that we didn't get a dog specifically to start our channel in 2007. Chef and Francis were already together at that time. Therefore, unfortunately, Francis will remain the only host on our channel, Cooking with Dog.

Interviewer: Does Chef have any message for the new people who are going to discover Cooking with Dog via this zine?

CHEF: I am delighted that you have come to know "Cooking with Dog" through this zine. When I was young, I experienced numerous failures when attempting new dishes. Through repeated trials, I discovered new things and found joy in the process. I encourage you to enjoy cooking for the sake of your family's health and for yourself, embracing the journey of exploration. It would bring me great joy if "Cooking with Dog" could help you feel closer to Japanese cuisine.

We feed our dogs a natural diet and avoid giving their dogs chemicals.  holistic dog breeders typically feed their dogs a raw diet. At Bernese Mountain Dogs we utilize a holistic approach with our parent dogs, as well as our puppies during gestation.
