Not OP but here’s some personal experience: I had a really hard time agreeing to create training with my dog. I found the entire ordeal stressful for myself until I started to see the benefits.

When the dog needs a break from a dangerous or stressful situation they have somewhere just for them. The cats can’t get to them. If I’m in the kitchen with her and I need her out of the way, she now knows that her bed or crate is a good place to go to avoid being stepped on.

At night, the crate stays open but she crawls in there to go to sleep. Brings her toys in there or special treats she wants to hide from the cats.

It also helps if she ever has to go to a kennel or, like others have said, a groomer that needs to hold her for a bit.

Overall, when I analyze it deeply I feel remorse for getting a living creature used to living in a box. But, she’s never in there for long and it’s always a rewarding experience with treats and tons of praise afterward. Many people may find the process unsavoury as I did. Even though I disagree to an extent… I listened to expert opinion and I’m glad I did.

Brilliant minds think alike.

It means it gives off middle child vibes. What more do you want?

People round these parts say the day first, then the month. Anything else is attention seeking middle child vibes.

No. But 2024, the 25th of July is clumsy both spoken and written.

July 25th, 2024 is okay but gives off middle child vibes.

25th of July, 2024 is ordered small to big, rolls off the tongue and when written nicely seperates both sets of numbers for ease of readability.

The only other alternative I will accept is Julian dates. Today is Day 26 of 2025.

Don’t you mean: “Right there! Stop you, I’m going to.”

Yoda-ass date structure.

What day, of what month, of what year is it? It’s ordered by importance dammit!
