My dog sneezes when someone’s chasing her. It’s like a defense mechanism.

My dog sneezes like clockwork if I give her belly rubs near her flank.

This reads like some 14yo's made up revenge story to sound cool lol mf facebook's results were too broad but not linkedin? the fuck? how does this story make any sense
And why would anyone give a shit what their family member is doing? Unless, again, it's a 14yo scamming people and the mother makes them return the money or something. Like, what do you think, a 30yo scammer just goes "alright here's your money back my mama slapped me hope ur happy"?

Mmmm, this is dangerously close to some risky and creepy behavior.
Not really a LPT IMO.

Reply to LPT: Got something on your mind you just cant let go, try to make a meal from scratch. Helps you focus on something different and if you know what you like you got something tasty to look forward to after all the hard work. by oimin0y
So glad someone else does this! I use this one all the time. I start by envisioning the grocery store trip for the ingredients and by the time I’m cooking the meal in my mind I’m usually calm and can sleep.

Reply to LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious
So... Make rice like normal people do, then?

How does the potato cook? Do you keep it on the heat for a few more minutes?

I guess our dogs are excited to get stuff in their noses then.

One sneeze maybe, however, I had a sneezing fit the other night in bed, I sneeze loudly, and my very gentle dog was sleeping at the foot of the bed and after about 6 loud sneezes she jumped off the bed and went into another room until I quieted down. I don’t think any dog likes repeated loud noises even from someone they love.

I travel with a very expensive top of the line Macbook pro and $7k Sony Mirrorless camera. You better believe I'm gonna get travel insurance every time I step foot on a plane.

As a singer I use a gargle made of hot water honey vinegar and cayenne pepper. I use cider vinegar usually but you can use others. The cayenne draws mucus to the surface the vneigar breaks it down the honey makes it more pleasant plus is a soother for throats. Gargle and spit. Usually mucus from deep in my throat comes out. Google it for exact recipes but it’s easy and works for singers to clear their throats

Avoid milk and other dairy products, they tend to increase mucus.
Drink clear broth.
I agree with the neti pot advice.

I appreciate the classification. I'm sorry if I came off abrasive, this clarifies everything.

I was just at a friends house where they recently adopted a beautiful female pitty. She would never hurt a fly but she’ll piss herself the second she detects the slightest threat.
Anyways I came in with a puffy coat on and she really did not trust me. She would do those tippy taps where she came closer and stretched her neck to sniff me and then skittered away. I knew she could be friendly by her wildly wagging tail so I was looking for a way to gain her trust.
Then I noticed she would sneeze each time she approached me, and I’d heard that’s how dogs say “I’m joking”. So the next time she sneezed I shook my head lightly and did a sort of snort, too. She froze, head cocked, ears up, eyes wide, and I wasn’t sure if I fucked up. The next second she was rocketing around the house with the craziest zoomies and returning to me to lick and play and cuddle.
If the dog is showing signs of wanting to come towards you a light sneeze or two can really help make them comfortable. Don’t try it with an outwardly aggressive or very nervous dog though.

Have something with cayenne pepper powder in it. Breaks down mucus.
