I just lost my dog after her needing people around pretty constantly. My partner and I can mostly arrange working from home, so the situation is not the same. What is the same is how you approach how your dog feels and how to tell when it’s ‘the time’.

You’re probably the most important part of his life. The shelter might let him find a home that can care for him better or it might not (because people are hesitant to adopt older dogs with health issues). What they can’t give is the stability he gets from staying with you. It really sucks that we can’t ask them what they want. I know that my pup would never have chosen a longer life if it meant giving us up.

When is it time? There are resources online about how to judge quality of life. For us it was as simple as picking her favorite things to do and watching to see if she still wanted to do them.

I have second guessed myself a lot - should we have done more vet care, should we have spent more time with her, etc. You’re in a hard situation. The decicions don’t get easier and sometimes are no win. My advice is to make your decisions for him as best you can knowing that your best is not ever going to be the perfect ideal AND it will be good enough.

Something sweet to pair with the salty. Apple chips, dried fruit, caramel corn, or something like that

Yes, if I said “hand me the scissors” it would just be one tool with two blades. I could also say “hand me a pair of scissors” to mean the same thing. Kind of like how “pair of pants” or “pair of glasses” mean just one of those items. For reference, I am from the US. Not sure if you meant English as the country or as the language. Either way, those usages are nonsense and I will happily keep using them.

Scissor and scissors are interchangeable and mean the same thing. I agree that dropping the plural hurts my brain a little though

Way better: 37% of 72 = 72% of 37

(Or any other numbers)

Came here to say this too

If that’s true why aren’t the sugar water pools in rainbow order. Folks, let’s not get tricked by fake news. The real threat is rainbows and, of course, double rainbows.

Totally, my union got us bonuses in our last negotiations. The lower your salary the higher your bonus. The only way to have it be fair at all as I see it.

Username checks out. Not sure if you were waiting for that…

I’ll take weapons that are as dangerous to the wielder as anyone else for $500…

Keep notes on what you do including outcomes. You can always reinstall, skip all of the extra crap you didn’t need to mess around with and have a good clean system without having to back track.

Absolutely no sarcasm intended. I had just never thought of it that way.

Mind blown by flawless logic

Maybe a dumb suggestion, but shouldn’t spotify + ublock still work on firefox for android?

Blank tab for me.
