[kindaasrikal]

Stupid and inconvenient allergies the ninja have:

Lloyd: Hayfever, hates summer and locks himself in the monastery but it doesn’t even do much because his eyes still get all swollen like a cherry. Jay makes fun of his sneezes.

Kai: he can’t eat eggs. He always throws up after. He can’t even smell eggs cause now he just automatically feels like throwing up.

Zane: he’s allergic to copper. I just find it funny if he was.

Nya: SHES CANONICALLY ALLERGIC TO PERFUME I REFUSE TO FORGET THAT.

Cole: he’s allergic to dogs. After he turned into a dog in dragons rising for a short time, Zane had to shove medicine down his throat.

Jay: Jay is one of the rare individuals who aren’t allergic to anything, he makes fun of everyone else’s. (Lies, Jay has a basic nut allergy and eh refuses to tell anyone and has went through years without anyone finding out, until Nya made him a cake with nuts in it.)

HOW TO HELP YOUR DOG DEAL WITH SEASONAL ALLERGIES

For some people, seasonal allergies are a real pain. Whether you’re bothered by a runny nose, itchy eyes, or endless sneezing, it can be a tough time of year to endure.

Just like their human parents, some dogs suffer from the aggravating effects of seasonal allergies as well. Besides chemicals such as those found in household cleaning products, cigarette smoke and certain perfumes, dogs can also be allergic to natural, seasonal substances. This can include plant and tree pollens, mold spores, dust, feathers and fleas.

A dog’s allergy symptoms are generally similar to those experienced by humans: the immune system overreacts to one or more offending substances, leading to itchiness and irritation. Your dog may lick or scratch themselves, develop irritated eyes, or sneeze repeatedly. Some dogs experience itchy, swollen skin, while others suffer from diarrhea and vomiting. In certain cases, a secondary infection may develop.

Here are a few things you should do to help control any discomfort your dog may be dealing with due to seasonal allergies and reduce the risk of more serious problems.

ADAPT YOUR DAILY WALK ROUTINE

If possible, avoid walking your dog in the early morning or late afternoon, when pollen levels are typically highest. Steer clear of fields and parks where offending plants are common.

When you return home, wipe your dog’s body and paws with a moist cloth or a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free grooming wipe from your local pet store. This will remove excess pollen and other allergens from your dog’s fur and skin without the hassle of a full bath. Pay special attention to the paws, as the sensitive skin here is often affected by allergens.

Some pet parents soak their dog’s paws in apple cider vinegar to remove pollen and other substances. If using this method, mix 2 parts water with 1 part apple cider vinegar.  Another solution is to put boots on your dog’s paws to prevent them from stepping in irritants and then tracking them into your house.

CLEAR THE AIR… AND OTHER SURFACES

Inside your home, regularly change air filters to cut down on airborne allergens that enter through open doors and windows. Running an air conditioner or a dehumidifier will help remove moisture from interior air, making it harder for mold to grow in your home. Minimize the amount of time your dog spends in damp environments, such as basements, bathrooms, or laundry rooms, as these places are more susceptible to mold growth. Vacuum at least once a week, and remember to clean curtains and rugs that may have picked up dust and pollen.

Protect your dog from backyard dangers. Many popular veggies like onions, garlic, tomatoes, and chives are poisonous to dogs and should be fenced off to prevent your furry friend from getting into them.

DON’T SLEEP ON IT

It's important to keep the surfaces your dog sleeps on clean, as they can quickly become covered in allergens. To achieve this, wash them in hot water every week. To make the task easier, consider putting towels or blankets on top of beds and chairs, and make sure to keep any offending substances away from the surface underneath. Also, don't forget to wash any soft toys your dog plays with regularly.

JUMP IN THE BATH

To prevent dry and itchy skin in dogs, it is recommended to bathe them more often with the advice of a veterinarian. While washing their fur, use a gentle, hypoallergenic anti-itch shampoo that contains a soothing ingredient like oatmeal, aloe, or evening primrose oil. Some dog owners prefer to give their pets a 10-minute soak in a bath mixed with a gentle moisturizing oil.

SUPPLEMENT YOUR DOG’S DIET

Consider giving your furry friend a natural dietary supplement like fish oil or a fatty acid such as omega-3 or omega-6 oil to alleviate itchiness and promote healthy skin. Coconut oil has also been shown to be effective in suppressing allergic reactions and improving skin health. To ensure your dog's overall well-being, it is essential to keep their drinking water and bowl clean and free of any contaminants.

FURTHER TREATMENTS

If your dog is constantly licking, scratching, or chewing, and has red, irritated skin or hair loss, it's best to schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. Depending on the severity of the problem, a professional can provide more aggressive treatments such as antihistamines, steroids, or allergy shots, which are also known as immunotherapy.

I needed guidance, so I went to my friend’s house. He was a Hawaiian elder, a chief or something, so I knew he’d be able to help me with my problems.

While I was there telling him what was bothering me, this little gray puppy ran up and hopped in my lap, started licking me all over. He told me the dog just showed up one day, so he’d been feeding it, but he can’t touch it since he’s allergic to dogs. It was so cute, this little gray thing with dark gray eyebrows and a dark gray moustache.

The elder had to get up to get his allergy medication, and on his way to the bathroom he told me I should take my boat and sail, go see the world. I was looking at the art on his walls and decided I’d take the dog with me, as a companion, so I named him Eyebrows ‘cause of his dark eyebrows.

Wake up, new cryptid just dropped!

It’s true that I’ve had to reimagine my day to day life since we got her, but I can’t imagine how we got this lucky. We thought we would have to work to earn her love, but from the moment she entered our house it’s been a cuddlefest, one I couldn’t possibly deny. There are hurdles she will be facing to be sure (and she will still need to meet the cats face to face) but I’m so happy to see this happy lil cheese every day. Welcome home Raclette!

(The couches will always be hers, even if it means she does try to smush whatever I’m working on at the time!)

It’s just a little bit soul crushing when I come across trans men talking about how much they hate men. Apologizing for being one. Like ‘haha I guess I’m a trans man yep that means I, as a man, suck, just like all other men haha feel free to vent your frustrations about the patriarchy at me. I can’t help being a man I hate men why would I choose to be one?’

I remember being there. Hating the gender you belong to is exhausting. It’s worth deconstructing I promise, even just for your wellbeing. Here’s a start:

Manhood isn’t inherently tied to misogyny and violence. Misogyny and violence are choices. Just choices that men are disproportionately conditioned into making. Men can and do rewrite that conditioning all the time. Manhood isn’t the problem. The problems are misogyny and violence. You’re not a bad feminist because you let go of the hate you have for the manness of yourself. Your manness doesn’t make you violent or misogynistic, being violent and misogynistic make you violent and misogynistic make you violent and misogynistic. Testosterone HRT doesn’t turn you into the archetype of male violence. Testosterone isn’t the driving force of misogyny and violence. Do you understand what I’m saying? Misogyny and violence are not inherent and inescapable to anyone, regardless of identity. Being a man doesn’t make you evil.

Treating misogyny and violence as inherent to manhood excuses men for being violent and misogynistic. Accountability is real hard when you consider doing bad things a fundamental nature tied to an identity. If men are sexist, can you blame this man for being sexist? That’s just how men are. Do you see how this is boys will be boys hidden behind a couple layers of pseudo feminism?

I spent years dancing around manhood because I believed the second I labeled myself a man I was the enemy. The number of ways I found to describe my masculine identity that weren’t man. The number of times hearing ‘at least you’re not a man’ set me back. The number of times I came so close to manhood, but ran into an explicitly trans inclusive ‘I hate men’.

I think the best word for how manhood feels to me is settled. Being a man feels like home. Masculinity feels so gentle, in a big ol’ teddy bear sort of way. Growing a beard and letting your little cousin stick flowers in it. Making sure none of my students think it’s okay to make fun of the kid who cries a lot. Answering ‘boys don’t cry’ with ‘I’m a boy, and I cry every single time a dog in a movie is sad’. I want to be so kind. I want to be the man someone chooses to start working on their dog’s fear of men with. I want to be trusted to watch a drink and to walk with people to their cars at night. I want them to find a cure for cat allergies so I can get that patting-tiny-animal-with-hairy-hands gender euphoria without eye irritation. Cardigans and top surgery scars. Wrinkled hands injecting testosterone. My dream life closes on sweet if eccentric old man.

I may have tangented a bit, but just… you don’t have to hate the man part of you. It doesn’t do any good. It’s not a moral responsibility. You can let that go because ‘man’ is just a gender. It isn’t a fundamental evil that exists deep within your being. The only evil masculine urge I’ve ever felt is the desire to wear athletic shorts in the middle of November. You’re not doing anything wrong by existing as a man I swear.

Part 2 in the pet nutrition series focuses on protein and food allergies.

And admittedly I do talk about Hills & Royal Canin, because of their hydrolysed protein diets, but I also talk about novel protein alternatives.

Commenting pet nutrition questions on the video itself helps boost it up the algorithm, but I still see questions commented on the post too.

For the night crew.

❓️ 🙏🏻 🆘️ ⚠️ 🐕 CAN ANYONE HELP ME PAY FOR MY DOG'S MEDICATION?

It is ️☆$89.40 + tax & maybe shipping.☆ Anything would help.

The med ^

Below:

The email response from my dogs vet, after telling him the trial went well, but now that he's off of it, he is back to obsessively licking, is very sensitive & gets snappy when touched, as well as the fur being copper from salivary enzymes & the pad being raw-ish, as in needing some paw balm. He just won't let me touch it, so it's a problem. *Blurred vets name & personal information.

I probably won't be able to get the med approved till Tuesday (5/28) bc of the holiday, so I have some time to raise funds.

✨ ️PAYPAL: @kqroswell or thekilliancode@yahoo.com

✨ ️VENMO: @kqroswell

✨️ CASHAPP: $kqroswell

✨️ Chewy Gift Card: kqroswell@outlook.com

I also have a chime account I haven't used yet.

I can take other forms of payment if you tell me what they are.

*Regarding the notes on the graph, it COULD be from deposits. I got a $50 deposit from my mother this month, but I took the full $50 with the 1-3 day option instead of instant. So unless my bank is taking a portion of it...

NOTES:

1. Use the name Killian Roswell for me, as an owner/client.

2. Always say Echo *THE POMERANIAN* when asking others about him bc Idk if there are other dogs named Echo & I don't want him confused with another dog.

3. Chewy Gift Cards only allow a minimum of $50 & that's ridiculous, but they are definitely helpful. Ik $50 is ungodly expensive, though. What the fuck, Chewy? You're the best company & you don't offer 15, 20, 25 dollar gift cards for, like... NORMAL people??? 😭 Sorry, guys. Thought I'd still offer it, though.

4. NO, I DO NOT EXPECT ONE PERSON TO PICK UP THE ENTIRE COST OF THIS OMG. 🫠 That would be insane. Just... anything you can contribute would be helpful!

5. Anything given in excess will go to purchasing his food, which will also be cutting it close this month, as his food is insanely expensive & needing to be switched to something cheaper. That is just a very daunting task for the world's pickiest pom so I've been putting it off. Time to get on it. 🥲

6. Thank you to anyone who can help us! Echo is my heart dog & I would take a bullet for him without a second thought. I would rather be buried alive & slowly die while panicking as the dirt caves in on me than see Echo suffer. I can promise you all $ would go to him if there were more, but I can always provide proof if necessary.

7. The above pics are the proof I have less than $20 in my (1 & only) bank account + QR codes for donations. I don't carry cash. I have proof that my Paypal, venmo & cashapp are starting off at 0, if you want them. They just don't fit in the image limit. If you see me with starbucks all the time, it's bc I have a million gift cards. 😅 Everyone gifts me starbies gift cards & I hoard them like a dragon lmao. 👀

Fam. Why are we headcanoning Mycroft as a massive cat person? Give me Mycroft at the dog park with his purebred terriers. Give me 10-year-old Myc fawning and walking the QUEENS FUCKING CORGIS IN HIS SPARE TIME. Give me him fondly watching Greg play fetch with their dogs. Give me him finding the best dog trainers for the puppy Greg brought home and then not trusting them and attempting to train the dog himself. GIVE ME THIS.

Please:(

@sarcasstic-jpmvr i am dying i can't do this anymore

Pros of training your dog with treats: dog is rapidly becoming world's best dog. Bravest, smartest, most polite little angel.

Cons of training your dog with treats: i no longer remember what it's like to not smell dog treats. It's what I breathe, it's what flows through my veins. The World has been reduced to pungent salmon and pork.

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I sneezed, told the person next to me that I'm allergic to them, and they just looked at me like I was a weirdo... Hilariously enough, I say this every time I sneeze around my cat or dog (I'm not allergic to animals).

I miss falling asleep on the couch and waking up to a cat laying on my face, falling back asleep and waking up later to said cat having squished themselves between my face/neck and the couch backing
