Look more like dead lady fingers to me.

Getting on / starting must have been an ordeal

Is it? I thought overwatering discoloured the whole leaf, but I admit I am in need of plant care education.

Thanks, I’ll take a look! I did check the roots recently and couldn’t see any rot. It’s always been in good jungle soil with airflow and drainage so I have been at a loss for what it needs.

It is a Ctenanthe! Thanks again, I am not sure about lubbersiana, but now I can check more easily.

Knew the comments here would be golden.

Read this exchange again and see who is fragile here. Surely you want people to eat less meat? Why would you not try to encourage that instead of behaving in this way?

Vegans aren’t the worst, assholes who behave like you and the restaurant owner are. It just so happens that an unfortunate amount of vegans are also assholes, which really makes it hard engage with you.

Some comments have already addressed some of the points, but depending entirely on the environment and the dogs, it’s often fine for a reactive dog to react and then the other dog knows the boundaries. Often I see people considering a reactive dog as an aggressive dog or that if you encounter a reaction then this is some kind of failure of responsibility by either or both owners.

Also, while I agree entirely with the sentiment of the post, if you take your reactive dog to the park at peak times, you have to be realistic that there will be irresponsible or inexperienced owners about occasionally.

Silverstone was not entirely his fault, but when you are never performing you can’t absorb the effects of the unexpected. Tough situation for him.
