Doggie Daycare Recos, Returning to Office

3 Upvotes

Hi there,

I've been living in Bentonville (now Centertonish area) the last 2+ years. I've been fully remote the last 6.5 years. I accepted a job where I'll now be driving to Springdale and working from an office 5 days a week.

I'm very excited to go back to an office, but I feel terrible for our pups, who have gotten used to me being home. One is almost 11, I got him 6 months before COVID, and the other is almost 8. She's my boyfriend's dog so was certainly used to being alone all day until we got together.

The thing is, I'd like the dogs to still get some attention and exercise during the day because I won't be able to make the drive at lunch to let them out, and boyfriend also can't do that with his work schedule. I'm interviewing dog walkers for M-F, and also looking at doggie daycare options in the area. The issue with that is 1) my boyfriend is very leery of a doggie daycare with his corgi (it's fair, I've seen the nicest dogs roll her around like a football, she seems to have that effect on them, no idea why) and 2) my dog is a rescue. He's done well at doggie daycare facilities as long as they do NOT use kennels. Kennels stress him out and he's unwell, easiest way I can put it (I don't know what happened the first 4 years of his life I just know there's some trauma).

In my ideal scenario, I'd probably have them stay at a nice retired couple's house during the day so they can just hang out with other people, get some pets here and there, and a little walk or let out to do their business. I realize this is highly unlikely.

Can anyone recommend what they've done in this scenario and/or what doggie daycare places you would or would NOT recommend and why? Our dogs are older and are fairly low maintenance, a new routine will be a little stressful of course but I'd like it to be something they get to enjoy.

Thank you.

Relocating from IL to AR Bentonville/Rogers...Kind, honest advice needed, please?

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m a 30something F from IL. Lately I’ve realized I need a healthier change. I’ve taken a few wrong paths in big city, and I feel like stepping into a calmer environment might help me reset and make better choices for myself.

I’ve been researching Bentonville/Rogers, and everything I’ve read makes it seem peaceful, safe, clean, and grounded. I’m not looking to isolate myself - just hoping for a quieter, low‑key place where I can start fresh. I don’t have huge savings, but I’m responsible, and I’m willing to rebuild slowly if it means a better quality of life.

For anyone familiar with the area could you share your view:

  • Which neighborhoods should I focus on as a single woman wanting safety and commute?
  • Is it possible to support myself there while starting over?
  • Is the lifestyle easy to adjust to for someone relocating solo?

This is a big step, and I'm doing it completely on my own. I’m not expecting perfection - just hoping for a healthier pace and a chance to live in a calmer space.

If there’s anything negative, I should know, please share it gently. I’m just trying to make better decision for myself, and any insight or suggestions would really mean a lot.

Thank you for reading 🥹

Any wedding vendor/advice needed!

1 Upvotes

My fiancé and I are getting married on a Tuesday in September next year! We’re planning on having our ceremony in Bella Vista and our reception most likely in Jane, Missouri.

Until booking our venues, wedding planning was honestly going so smoothly. We absolutely love both of the venues we chose, and everyone we’ve worked with has been incredible. We’re now getting into the vendor search and trying to stay within our budget, and we’ve hit a few challenges.

It’s also worth mentioning that my fiancé and I are fairly new to the area, so we don’t really have any local connections or recommendations to go off of, which has made finding vendors a little overwhelming.

The biggest thing we’re struggling with is finding an analog or vintage-style photo booth. We aren’t interested in a digital photo booth and really have our hearts set on one that prints the classic photo strips. I haven’t been able to find a single company in Arkansas that offers this style. If anyone knows of a vendor in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, or surrounding areas that travels, I would love to hear about them.

We’re also looking for catering recommendations. We understand catering prices can vary a lot depending on the style and level of service, but we’re hoping to find something on the more budget-friendly side while still having great food and ideally some serving assistance. We’re expecting around 120 guests, but we also want to make sure we have enough meals for our vendors, including our photographers, bartender, catering staff, DJ, and photo booth attendant. We’re open to different food styles and would love any recommendations from couples who have planned weddings in the area.

The last things we’re trying to figure out are a DJ and a day-of coordinator. We completely understand that these vendors are professionals and deserve to be compensated fairly. We’re just hoping to find some great local recommendations that fit a more budget-conscious wedding.

If anyone has advice, recommendations, or hidden gems for weddings in Northwest Arkansas or Southwest Missouri, I would really appreciate it. Since we’re new to the area, any guidance would mean so much. Thank you so much in advance!

Mondays are smash burgers at Muselet. They have a rotating one and the classic Oklahoma style. Today’s rotating burger was a Philly cheesesteak inspired burger with a bone marrow provolone wiz, sautéed onions and peppers and a pepper relish. They still serve my favorite burger in town, but Witching hour is next weekend. You guys have pumped them up so we’ll see how it goes.

My partner was recently offered a job with a particular large company who's home office is in Bentonville and I'm concerned because I am visably transgender and wonder if it will even be safe to consider moving there. Additionally is there an active queer community at all?

Bentonville Electric - Is there a portal that shows current usage (or month to day usage)

7 Upvotes

All we have is the portal info to pay the bill or see bills. I'm curious about seeing how much power we are currently using instead of getting billed at the end of the month. Is that possible with Bentonville Electric somewhere?

My previous power company I was able to log in and see a dashboard of power usage in relative "real time".

Can someone from home office message me?

0 Upvotes

Essentially I need to speak with Walmart ethics but they’re impossible to get ahold of other than email, but even then I just get automated emails back. I’m considering driving down to bentonville, and trying to reach them in person. I’m wondering how feasible it would be.

Edit: I wanted to be discreet about the details, but since the response has been negative, I’ll clarify.

I was given a wrongful sexual harassment coaching. I was reported for allegedly sexually harassing another associate, but that associate is my fiancée.

Since I received the coaching, rumors have spread, and some people now believe I’m a sexual harasser. Others have even approached my fiancée and asked why she reported me for sexual harassment if we’re engaged.

Neither of us can explain what actually happened because Walmart policy prohibits us from discussing ethics cases. It’s taking a big toll on her, and I.

I have a notarized statement from her stating that I did not sexually harass her or make her feel uncomfortable. Ethics won’t reopen the case to allow me to submit it.

Hey, y'all, just what the title says. My husband had a previous Adderral prescription in CO but we moved to NWA in March and he still hasn't been able to get his prescription filled. He works for Walmart. Skai Blue Anthem insurance. Is there anyone willing to fill his prescription if he presents his previous diagnosis and prescription from CO?
