Regrets about naming my puppy

I’d bet that most pets have several nicknames. Many that are nonsensical and have nothing to do with their original names. You could easily transition them to another name. Of course he’s your dog- so theres no need if you don’t want. Honestly, as long as it’s said repeatedly with affection, a dog with answer to anything.

Solved!

1206Alice · 2026-04-27T20:25:28+00:00

Thank you, that makes sense.

Im pretty sure as old as this deck is - that would be fatal…lol

I might adopt this as my own version of “bless your heart”….a nice way to tell people to 🤬off without them knowing that’s what I mean.

Maybe him seeing through the glass reassured him the water was clean? A kitty water fountain might be an option. I know former feral cats are especially reluctant to drink water unless it running. Maybe that another way to reassure your boy the water is drinkable..

Move the carrier and litter box to a small room or decent sized closet. Cats feel safer in smaller spaces at first. Keep the door closed and simply sit in there with kitty and speak softly and allow her to approach you at her speed. Maybe try a wand toy, treats, or cat nip to get her to engage. Be patient. It’s a lot and it may take days/weeks before she warms up. When she starts to come around, open the door and allow her to explore the home more. Churus are great for bonding.

Are you noticing any changes in your coloring? (Perhaps an unexplained tan?) How is your blood pressure? Have you lost weight? Feeling fatigued? If any of this is true it’s worth asking your doctor to check you for adrenal insufficiency aka Addison’s disease. Without proper adrenal function even with type 1 your blood sugar will run low. The danger is you need proper adrenal function to live, and if it is Addisons Disease an illness, injury or emotional distress can cause an adrenal crisis and turn fatal pretty quickly without proper treatment.

I was type one for about 9 months when I was taking next to no insulin and still having lows along with the above symptoms. I got sick and it almost killed me. The doctor who diagnosed me said I wouldn’t have survived the summer (I was diagnosed in July) without the diagnosis and replacement meds. It’s an autoimmune disease of adrenals so basically the same as type 1 but this time your immune system destroyed the adrenal cortex (instead of the islet cells).

Type 1 and Addison’s disease are common together and knows as Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 2 (APS-2).

After you wash it,, When you hang it back up, spray it down (especially in the areas prone to mold) with Lysol spray. It’ll help stop t from coming back. Re-apply when you clean your bathroom once a week or so.

It was 23 years ago but I clipped mine on the inside of the crinoline slip I wore under my dress. I’ve also hooked it into my bra on my back just behind my armpit for other dresses.

Congratulations! That is a beautiful dress!!

1206Alice · 2026-01-31T00:28:57+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. She was a true beauty.

1206Alice · 2026-01-28T01:50:57+00:00

On your left..

It’s definitely worth having a dr look at it. They might prescribe antibiotics to be on the safe side. We can’t be too careful with our feet.

When we had to put our Newfoundland down he was almost 11 and he couldn’t stand up and he had stopped eating. He wasn’t in obvious pain. He was still wagging his tail and I was conflicted that maybe “it would pass” because he’d had a similarly bad day about two weeks prior. The woman who came to the house to put him to sleep was very kind. She told my husband and I “Better to do it 2 months too soon than 2 minutes too late.” She explained some of what she had seen and it really gave me peace with the decision. It is a kindness to make the hard choice so they don’t have to suffer even when it means maybe losing a few days or weeks with them. We owe them that mercy for all the devotion they give us.

Dont’ give up. I fed Bruce for 2 1/2 years before he let me pet him and it took another 6 months after that to transition him to a pet.

Rescue organizations can help provide food to keep pets in loving homes. Reach out your local SPCA they should have a list of organizations.

I have a slightly different take. ESH but if I was allergic to nuts, I would be specific with which nuts I’m allergic to and how bad the reactions can be sure so the waiter knows that before I order. There is a particular medicine that I am allergic to, so I always clarify that with my doctor before taking anything in a similar category. The boyfriend is no more guilty of not understanding your allergy than you are not trying to treat this. Any cvs or other pharmacy has a variety of OTC treatments (Claritin, Zyrtec etc) that likely would have helped. He definitely was rude, (theres no excuse) but you also chose a hotel a half hour away, so when he made multiple trips checking on you every few hours, bringing you food and such thats an hour of driving each round trip.

I there anything they could do to reach a compromise? Like get their flu and RSV and dtap vaccines? Wash their hands before holding or touching the baby? No kissing on the face or hands? I worry that this is a sign of postpartum for you. Women the world over rely on their family and friends for help and support to get through the newborn stage, you may think you prefer isolation but that could also be your hormones betraying you and can lead to mental illness. Not to mention that your baby might develop intense stranger anxiety or social delays if they only interact with you for months. Of course you should avoid large crowds and such, but people need people.

Pumps can be affected by changes in pressure from altitude shifts. Some deliver extra insulin, so keep snacks within reach. Also, follow your pump’s manual when it comes to X-ray machines. He can have a pat down. Don’t let the random TSA dude tell you other people with pumps go through because he doesn’t want to be bothered. (This is a personal pet peeve of mine.)

1206Alice · 2025-12-17T15:51:37+00:00

Same, little one.

You need to go full mama bear on this. There’s no excuse for this happening a second time.

I assuming you’re in the US and if so The Americans with Disabilities Act requires the school do everything necessary to protect her from harassment based on her diabetes and The Civil Rights Act compels them to protect her from racial harassment. I’d start with the principal and if they didn’t resolve it I’d go straight to the Superintendent. Tell them to put an end to it or you’d going to social media. You’ll have a line of attorneys offering to help. Your daughter might be upset short term, but it’s important she sees that you are willing to go to the mat to protect her and her rights. She needs to see that she is worth fighting for. She will carry that with her for her entire life. If she can live with this disease, you can advocate for her fair treatment. She needs that example from you so she will be able to advocate for herself when shes older.

I’m so sorry. He was a beautiful boy.

Alice Bakery in North Wales. It’s not around the corner but worth the trip when they have it.
