First of all, wash your sheets if you aren't doing it regularly. Then have a quick look around fo mould. Lastly, minimise laundry left on the floor and vacuum more if they're carpeted. A third of our time is in our bedroom, so things can get blocked up if stuff is in the air.

If that's all good, okay, time to start considering the cat 🥺 The most common allergy is from their saliva on themselves from cleaning, or skin falling off from cleaning. If they're cleaning themselves in your bed or shortly before coming into bed, that's most likely it.

So, what you're saying is we know people that choose rogue-like characters are narcissistic.

People that choose Barbs, on the other hand, very much loving the party they're with, even if they have no idea what's going on.

I'm very lucky. I have two Finnish Lapphunds that will just crunch through a whole rabbit after hunting. But give them leftovers, store food, or something containing plant and they'll turn their noses up. Makes it easy. Just get off cuts or fish from the butcher, put it in a bowl, done. The more prep done, the less interested they are 🤣

Yeah, I dunno. I reckon you’re a husky owner who, whether you realise it or not, naturally fits with these kinds of breeds.

Spitz working dogs can (and honestly should) be a nightmare for the average household. But it's fairly easy to meet their needs, and when they're met, hey’re hands down the most loyal, intelligent, and rewarding dogs you can have. Don't sell yourself short, I reckon you're not lucky, you're just a good husky owner.

The problem for huskies is they’re seen as the easy-access “cool wolf” looking dog. People don't realise they're part of a seriously wild working breed and forget their brains need constant challenges and proper jobs to do —, otherwise, they’ll go and invent their own.

I get a lot of praise for my lappies. People think their behaviour comes out of the box like that. Nooooope.They're constantly given jobs and challenges. The enrichment from this is why they're so well behaved and focused.

Edit: Also, can't help myself...

🤣

No.

You can try get my Lapphunds inside if you want, they'll just let themselves back outside to sleep in the snow all night. Huskies are no different.

My breed, and I would guess NA snow breeds are good to about -35C as well, or not far off. My dogs really start getting a pep in their step below -5. If there's no snow, they'll seek out concrete. Almost never do they use their beds.

I generally play a bard. I'm an annoying idiot. No, no... A frustrating annoying idiot.

Online cat owners remund me of Pearl Jam - Betterman.

They're so deep in a toxic relationship, they overcome it by saying the bad behaviour is cute and that's as good as they deserve.

Edit: Every downvote is an upvote for Stockholm Syndrome. The felines have you under control and now you do what they meowed you.

I never thought of it that way.

battle snare drum to a montage of buying Super Soakers, ending with a one-liner to camera...

...It's time to get some pussies wet... and witches. But mainly the pussies because the aliens. Damn it, I ruined the one-liner.

I'll remember to call the police every time it rains.

Everyone here balancing the ethics of getting wet like it's assault.

Water melts snowflakes and wicked witches, everyone else need not worry.

All living things should be used to being wet either all the time or somewhat regularly. To think beyond that, wow, society has its teeth in you and you are lost.

Someone needs to make a website that tracks the British Empire giving their "trinkets" back to the original cultures.

I would, but I'm lazy and already came up with the idea so I've done my part.

Wait. Call it Tipu's Tiger for the ~~irony~~ derision. Boom. That's two good ideas. Get on it, nerds.

You may appreciate a song by The Weakerthans called Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure. It's part of a saga of sorts they released over time, sung from the perspective of the songwriter's pet cat named Virtute. They're arguably depressing—and also arguably positive—but this one specifically is about Virtute not ever knowing her name or anything, just "the sound you found for me" which was her connection to the songwriter.
