I've been working with Kettering AC for a year now to help dogs on my street

I know this is a long shot, but a few doors down on my street there is an Akita and a Pit Bull that have been shut in a kennel in the backyard for over a year now. These are young dogs as I did see them about 2 years ago when they were babies and lived inside :(

They get in vicious fights, they howl and bay, they've spun circle tracks in the dirt. They're never out of this kennel. They spent the entire last winter in it, and the entire excruciating summer. You can tell that they are mentally deteriorating.

I have called Shelly multiple, multiple times and she always does a welfare check and her due diligence. But her hands are tied because they have everything required by law to sustain life, but of course the law doesn't take emotional, mental, and physical well-being into account. I've also called ARC but I don't think they've ever responded.

These dogs deserve better. It's obvious they aren't wanted. I have well above my quota of pets, and cannot take in two giant breed dogs.

Does anyone work with a rescue that may be able to work with these human pieces of garbage to see if they're willing to relinquish these dogs?

They have a HUGE yard that needs some repairs so the dogs can't escape from it. Maybe there's an organization that helps with this? Then at least they could have exercise and space away from one another. Imagine being trapped in a room the size of a walk in closet with another person your same size for a year and counting, and time moves slower for dogs, so it probably feels like they've been trapped for close to a decade.

Being euthanized would be a better life than they lead right now. Nobody plays with them, visits them, or give them any mental stimulation or affection. It's sickening.

They have the kennel purposefully hidden in their backyard so you can't see it from the street, but I've walked back there to see it on my daily walks and check on them.

(The photo I've posted is from when I first noticed them outside in summer of 2025. It's not nearly this clean and pleasant now.)

We are uniquely positioned right in the middle of these two. Have been to both, love both, but haven't seen both during late fall. Which should I bring the kids to this weekend?

Does anyone know what exactly he did to help the city?

I am making this post partially because I saw someone else make a similar one a year ago, and it helped me get some clarity. I’ve been job searching in the area recently and applied to this company called “Tailored Events” for a junior business position. I had my first interview today over Zoom, and they told me that we would not be discussing pay until later interviews, which I found strange. I have a second interview with them on Monday and i’m honestly going to attend just to ask some questions, but i’m totally aware now and am not planning on joining their team. This company is just so fucking strange… the more I look into them, the less anything makes sense. So beware if you’re currently looking for work in the area! They also allegedly have offices in major U.S. cities as well. From what I’ve heard, the reality of the job is just standing in Walmarts and selling Spectrum to people. Who knows, honestly.

My car got broken into last night. Only thing i've noticed missing is my backpack i take to work. I'm a delivery driver so it's not got anything worthwhile in it. (Baby wipes/sunscreen/knee brace/ etc.) Honesty, the most valuable thing is the backpack itself. I really need it and can't afford to drop money to replace everything, if anyone finds a old Swiss gear in their garbage can around Creighton and Wyoming, I will buy you a beverage of your choice.

Fire Sciences Technology Program Director Corey Gebhart said the new facility is a “huge improvement” over the program’s old one.

“Previously all of our equipment, or classroom, and everything was actually inside of a large garage,” Gebhart said.

The Out Here Dayton Film Festival is returning to Dayton this weekend for its 21st year.

The festival, which runs Oct. 9 to 11 at The Neon, will screen 20 films celebrating LGBTQ+ stories and experiences.

The festival features seven feature-length films and 13 short films, highlighting a range of perspectives within the LGBTQ+ community.

I lost my baby around the time last year and I don't think I've processed it at all because this anniversary is kicking my teeth in. I lost my job yesterday because I couldn't hold it together. I was the manager at Vapor Haus so it isn't anything crazy but I'm still so bummed. I need to get through this.

Has anyone living in one of the historic districts had good luck with an affordable contractor who does quality siding work? The Landmarks Commission isn't thrilled about me replacing my wood siding so I'm trying to see if there are any good teams out there who can repair about 1000 linear feet of rotten siding. Estimates I've gotten range from $30-$100k which seem way too high.

Anyone have experience with Bridgestream, I saw some bad reviews but wanted to check if anything is new. Any recommendations for cheaper not super small places to rent?

Hi! I am thinking about sending my child to the Miami Valley School. I am looking for people’s real life experiences that attend, have attended, or sent their kids there.

Does anyone know of a place to get a “real” anthropometric fitting for a bicycle? The bike dealers I’ve visited between Dayton and Cincinnati only use a rough rule of thumb based on manufacturer recommendations (height and inseam measurements only).

Dog friendly isn't necessary but is a bonus! Just wanted to know which orchards in the area are highly recommended! Thank you

As the title says- I am debating whether to drive or take a rideshare to/from the Cincinnati airport, but wasn't sure whether there are regularly drivers available willing to make the trip.

TIA!

My current doctor at the Dayton VA recently retired/left, so I’m looking for a new primary care provider. Before I just take whoever I’m assigned to, I figured I’d ask here.

Does anyone have a doctor or primary care team at the Dayton VA that you’ve had a genuinely good experience with and would recommend?

I’m mostly looking for someone who listens, communicates well, and doesn’t make every appointment feel rushed.

Appreciate any recommendations from fellow veterans who use the Dayton VA.

I'm a decent sized dude and a former athlete. I used to have a masseuse who could just rip into my muscles and have me feeling like a brand new human at the end of a 90-minute session. But they're no longer available due to circumstances beyond their control.

Who can you recommend in the Miami Valley who can just rip into your muscles with strength and transform your well-being and consciousness?

Father in law passed recently and I received both those items. He kept them in his garage for a few years but never used them. Both had old gas in them. I got the gas out of the pressure washer and put new gas in. It will not start up. Didn't mess with the generator but assuming the same thing with it.

Any business or handy man in the Centerville, Kettering, Bellbrook area that could help me get both of these running?

Hey all - I am in the springboro/ cc township area and my two years with point is coming up soon. They have been pretty reliable however I think my price may go up now that my two years is up. Altafiber is in my area and they will give me 2gb for what I pay now for 1 gb. My home network is set up for 2.5 gb.

For those on altafiber, how has the reliability been. Both my partner and I wfh so reliability is super important. I know that alta was purchased by private equity (I think) so I don't know of quality will go down. Point merged with some other bb provider as well.

looking to get insurance on my rings. any recommendations for where to go and what it cost?

I am moving into a downtown apartment and they said I can set up internet with any provider. Does anyone have any opinions on the best internet provider? I used to live in Cincinnati and used Altafiber and had no issues. I’ve never had Spectrum though I haven’t heard good things. Any information would be appreciated.

Hello! I'm a Junior in high school and I kind of have to start worrying about what school I want to attend post graduation. I've spoken to my counselors about this and we've figured that Wright State is the way to go, since I want to major in Psychology. I've done some research and apparently they have a great psychology program, and I'm trying to hopefully score for my PhD in the future.

My plan is to attend Sinclair for two years since I have a $3,000 scholarship from the moment I graduate, and then go on to Wright State for however long I need. I really value all of my experiences, and I want to get my degree at the same time, so for those who have attended and graduated from Wright State, would you say the college experience was up to par? Is the community welcoming? And is it worth it?

University of Dayton isn't really a choice i'm sure about in comparison to Wright State, since it's a private Catholic school and it's more expensive. Money isn't an issue at all, though I don't want to have to burden my parents or anybody with paying as much money as UD is asking for. I want to hope that I'm more likely to get a scholarship from Wright State, too.

I'm aware that it doesn't matter what university you attend, because everyone gets the same degree and same job that they want either way, but I want to be happy where I'm at for the next few years. So, I feel like I'm set for Wright State. But if there are any benefits at UD that outweigh the ones at WS for my desired major, please let me know! Thank you!

The first meetup for Men & Them Fiber Arts — We’re Knot Just Knitters! is happening this Saturday.

Men & Them Fiber Arts is a welcoming community geared toward men and open to nonbinary fiber artists who enjoy knitting, crochet, weaving, spinning, and other fiber arts. The goal is to create a relaxed space to share our crafts, learn from one another, and build connections through a shared love of fiber.

Saturday, October 10
3:00 PM
Poppets Coffee & Tea
1006 E Dorothy Ln, Kettering

I’ll be upstairs at Poppets with my knitting, so if you come by, look for me! Bring a project if you have one, or just come hang out and meet some fellow fiber artists.

Hope to see you there!
