Screenshot with info on appropriate crate sizes for dogs https://www.petmd.cor Choosing the Right Dog Crate Size Here are some parameters that can be used to establish if a crate is appropriately sized for your dog • The dog should be able to stand up with ease inside the crate, fit through the door effortlessly and comfortably turn around. • When they sit in the crate, there should be at least 2 inches of clearance above their head. • When they lie on their side, they should be able to fully extend their limbs Keep in mind that if any of these parameters are too tight for the pet it's best to go to the next size up.

1 5kyBlah @bethlasky.bsky.social 23h I got a text from my elderly parent's medical place, stating an ai agent would call me from this number, so save the number. I texted back "I will not talk with ai." The call came through, an ai voice told me they are an ai helper. I hung up. I got a text with link for online sign on. Done. 2 hivebox.bsky.social @hivebox.bsky.social It's understandable to feel uneasy about Al taking over personal communication especially regarding elderly care.
