Bogo isn't on LTIR. There's no benefit from putting a second player on LTIR right now.

Sending Olofsson and Joker down didn't save cap space immediately, it manipulated the LTIR calculations and set them up to save cap space starting today. If you look at cap friendly, you'll see our ACSL listed at $81,472,024. The moves were about getting that as close to 81.5m as possible.

Yesterday, they were about 25k under the cap, now they are $211,250 under the cap.

Now this is a good post. I appreciate the explanation.

The Mrs and I recently got a puppy (we're his 3rd home) and his separation anxiety is terrible, we'd be cleaning the car on one side of the wall and he'd be 2m away looking at us just crying cause he can't be beside us. any tips on getting over that?

we've had him 3 months now and he's getting loads better with us but still cries really badly when we leave him for any length of time at all.

Also very weary of people, we don't know his history so we think there might have been some abuse with how he acts around anyone who isn't me or my wife

Any other pets in the house? If he has a buddy to pal around with it might help his anxiety...or it may result in your house getting destroyed. Think of it as a service animal for your dog.

I'm worried he'll be gone for Bogo in a month or two.

15 pound female beagle has destroyed:

3 pairs bluetooth headphones
3 tv remotes
2 PS4 controllers
1 HD antenna
3 hats
Electric blanket
Charging cords
Countless books

When I get home the black lab looks at me like "I told her it was a bad idea"

- jcragcrumple


Does your lab eat any food left out that remotely reachable? Mine is soooooo bad. Legit tore up my lunchbox because it smelled like food so he thought something was in there

my old 37 lb beagle has destroyed nothing except whatever food he can find

the 4 year old german shepherd only destroys his toys

I am lucky

its going to take awhile.

I worked on it for a long time, and it wont be easy.

What I started doing is basically not recognizing them 15 minutes before I would leave the house.

I would leave, started with a short time of 10-15 minutes. Come back and not make a big deal that i returned if everything was fine.

If i found something was a mess or destroyed, i would shake a bottle full of pennies and let them no my displeasure. never was abuse minus a few taps on the butt with the penny bottle.

Ever few days i would but the time up by 15 minutes, and then by a half hour.

I now leave them alone for 6 hours at a time with no issues.

put him in a crate, when you are away

or if that does not work, a room on the other end of the house

my german still pouts whenever we leave or are outside w/o him, but his job is to protect

All of the recalls had to do with stacking the cap to maximize the LTIR from Hunwick. I don't think they're putting Bogo on LTIR. capfriendly needs to figure out all the math and I assume the accurate cap figures will be out in a day or two

It looks accurate to me. It's crazy how fast they update.

We were on holiday last week and left them with a girl who takes puppy classes, and she suggested the same idea. i'm trying to convince the mrs that we should look into it but we're in saving money mode for christmas atm so it won't be happening any time soon, but if christmas comes and goes and he's still anxious i think it might be the best option for him!

She gave us some other suggestions which we're starting with first. like hiding his food around the place to keep him busy, but honestly when he's on his own, he ignores all food and just cries for us to come back so we need to beat that first.

My wife really struggled at the start ignoring the cries, but we got through, she was determined to be more stubborn than a puppy haha

I have a four year old yorkie poodle named Sabre who is the biggest bumhole to everyone, but is also a big snuggler. I've never had a dog that weighed less than 50 pounds, so when my wife brought him home, I had no idea what it would be like.

For as much as I hate him when he is an bumhole, I would never let anything happen to him.

This was also suggested so we've been doing the ignoring thing before we leave and when we come back until he is calm. he's still at that stage of going crazy when you get back.

we haven't been doing it for training but will maybe start when i have more time just leaving and coming back in short periods to see how it helps, thanks

No, the lab is good. The little beagle is a menace. She's crafty and she can get up on any surfaces. No shame in her game. She'll straight up snag food off your plate. We took her as a 1 year old from a family member who died. There were no rules in that house. 9 months later she's still a menace. Adorable though

I feel the same way about my yellow Labra-dork. Dog is such an a$$hat sometimes but is a great family dog and is fiercely protective of my kids and my wife. its a love/hate relationship but I would not have it any other way.

My last dog (had to put down about a year ago 3 weeks shy of 10) was a black lab. I had 5 chicken breasts defrosting on the counter. Went outside to do some yard work came back in and they were gone. Daughter "i saw her up on the counter and i told her to stop but she didnt"...

My lab mix now attacked a ham i had sitting on the counter while the oven was heating up and i was 15 feet away.. she got a bite out of it and my Pyrex container shattered on the floor into about 100 pieces. i found glass on the floor for about 2 weeks

Mine is a mix. About 1/4 standard poodle so he has these long ass legs and can get to pretty much anything that’s not on top of the fridge. We have to have a garbage can that has the lock on it so he can’t help himself. He’s crated when we’re not home so I’m sure that helps with him getting into things he shouldn’t. But if you put some sort of food on the counter and walk away from it for even 2 seconds he’s got it and it’s gone.

Same here.

It's a new season. They haven't played yet, so i am going to hold my judgement until I know what they are truly going to do this year.

We tried crating, but she was driving the neighbors crazy with her howling. Tried for a couple weeks and it never got better

The food struggle i know all too well

I have friends who have a dog that used to have terrible separation anxiety and believe it or not they got the dog prescribed dog anxiety medicine that did absolute wonders.

Also if you're in a progressive state they make dog CBD gummies
