Lol. This is trash content. At least step it up.

Was it ever rude? Like, get going. Obviously need a wake up either way.

As others have mentioned the way you honk can be rude. And honking too quickly.

Seriously, sometimes calling in every once in a while and getting some stuff down around the house, the yard, or actually enjoying a hobby - does wonders for the mental health.

Skipping work when you feel productive and refreshed vs only when you feel like shit - should be a thing (aka mental health days ran in tangent with sick time).

Hard Coat vs Soft Coat (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by saltysel@sh.itjust.works to c/minischnauzers@sh.itjust.works
 

What kind of coat does your schnauzer have?

Mine has the hard coat, which is the first time our schnauzer(s) have had a coat like that! I love the look and feel of it but because of the up-keep she actually sheds a decent amount if I'm not on top of hand-stripping, which I'm slowly learning.

My local groomer CAN hand strip but refuses to do it on my little one because, "she doesn't even bother on her terrier and it's only done on show dogs." Which annoyed me, so I'm doubling down on the technique myself and trying to avoid clipping it all and losing it.

I've read that the hard coat is the traditional coat of a schnauzer but a lot of the breed has been turned into soft coats due to the ease of clipping, shedding, etc. But the soft coat can get easily matted and curly without more brushing and maintenance.

Curious what everyone has and their thoughts!

 

What are some things you're wanting to see in this community?

Hope people have/had a good long weekend celebrating Canada Day and/or Independence Day!

Saw her at a local university, she was a fantastic speaker and I learned lots! Happy I got to experience her.

What a treasure.

Rest in peace. ❤

I've had a similar problem. A screenshot version of the photo was a no go (my go to way to crop). An edited version of the original photo was fine. Hopefully it's something that gets smoothed out over time.

 

Will be throwing out a random Ruby picture every Tuesday to try and get some more eyes on the community. If anyone wants to do something similar for a while, please do so! Bonus points if it's a silly name/weekday combo like Ruby Tuesday.

The early days of YouTube, spurred our own shitty video making within our group of friends. OG Neopets and Habbo Hotel were peak socializing with strangers on the internet. MSN allowed me to actually talk to people I knew in a way that was harder to do in person, helped me form relationships I wouldn't have normally had.

Neopets was probably my first time delving headfirst into forums. It was a neat thing where you can join guilds, sometimes super niche ones where everyone is just as into the thing as you are, and just talk to similar-minded people.

It was a cool feeling as someone from a rural town in the middle of Canada.

Life lately. (sh.itjust.works)
 
 

Was there a particular reason for getting a Schnauzer? Or was it just happenstance?

 

Welcome to the Mini Schnauzer community!

Figured I'd start by spamming my own Mini Schnauzer, our little Ruby!

I'm new to the moderator game, so bear with me. Lemmy seems like a pretty chill place compared to Reddit so I'll try it out with something straight-forward and dear to my heart.

I grew up with Miniature Schnauzers, among other types of dogs. In fact, our very first puppy was one! Jack. Followed by Jill, naturally. I'm sure you'll see them on here at some point! Even though they are no longer with me, they hold a special place in my heart.

As I got my own home established, my husband and I decided that another Mini Schnauzer would be a wonderful fit as our first together.

Ruby was the runt of the litter and is quite the timid, delicate flower; but we are of course smitten.

Excited to see all the photos and hear all the stories! Hopefully we can all also provide some insights to those thinking of getting one themselves and any issues people may be having with their stubborn little ones.

[–] saltysel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Hoping that there will eventually be a sidebar feature, of sorts, on the instances that will show some real time information. That's kinda the coolest thing really, seeing how things will progress from here.

I'm, of course, useless in terms of any script, coding, etc. But very much appreciate those who have the skill lol.

[–] saltysel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How do we see all that information about instances? Their restrictions, defederations, etc. I can't seem to figure out where all that info is readily available. I'm on the Jerboa app if that matters.

[–] saltysel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Is there any evidence of controlled burns being done on a regular basis? Forest fires are, unfortunately, a circle of life thing and are necessary. With the ongoing issues happening more and more, earlier and earlier are they at least considering this option?

[–] saltysel@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is going to the biggest blow to me tbh. So many nuanced problems have been found on Reddit. Hoping some of the data can be transferred elsewhere vs completely deleted but it isn't looking that way.

[–] saltysel@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Right? Like we need to really start realizing that being uncomfortable can actually be a positive thing. Allows us to push past our norm and open our minds to different perspectives. We might not always like it. We might not always understand it. But we learn something, whether it be about ourselves or others.
