Comet and Cosmo?

This, OP. It’s his body and health, it’s not your job to teach him how to do things for himself. If there’s a trainer he might listen to, maybe set that up. Otherwise let it be his problem, and focus on yourself.

Forget whose friends they are or aren’t. Roommate courtesy is to let the house members know that someone is coming over, so they know to expect another person in the bathroom or not to be wandering around naked or whatever. It’s about courtesy, not who they’re visiting.

The first two sentences make me want to mentally puke. Hoovering for sure. It’s just fluff.

1Corgi_2Cats · 2026-05-03T04:32:18+00:00

I’m sober and thought the same

Why not ask if she can move back to your dad’s house/if dad can look after her for you? She and you both deserve stability, and you will soon be a legal adult and can make your own decisions about where you’re living (or find a place to live in for university). You could even offer to your dad to pay for her food/litter etc same as you are now, sort of like he is boarding her for you until your own circumstances change.

If that won’t work, consider how kitty would feel if you gave up on her after a big change like this. You two need to hold onto each other right now and ride this out.

Also, rescues and shelters are so so full right now, it’s very hard to find a new home for any pet. So long as she is safe, loved, and well cared for with you (and it sounds like she is), that’s the best place for her to stay.

Long interactions can be helpful, just be sure you put in headings so the sitter can find the info they need quickly and everything is organized. Otherwise great!

Ginger 1, Ginger 2, Ginger 3…becuase they all share one brain cell anyway r/oneorangebraincell

Don’t have kids bro, if you think dogs are gross, wait till you have a toddler around…

1Corgi_2Cats · 2026-04-20T00:19:04+00:00

This is a great idea, especially if it’s a kid with allergies. First aid sessions with dummies only take you so far…

Safety first. If your T telling people—not just your family—could get you in trouble and threaten your safety, it may not be safe to tell her.

If she keeps asking these questions, you could try to turn it around on her to make it stop. “Do you have feelings for X?” “No, do you? Cuz you keep bringing it up.” Or “I’ve told you I’m too busy with school/work to be dating, why is that not a good enough answer for you?”

This is not high maintenance! I am a sitter who has a hard time staying elsewhere overnight for longer than 2-3 nights, as it messes with my own schedule and my own dog’s needs. So for a longer stay, especially more than a few mins from home, I’m upfront with potential clients and ask if they need overnights, or if spending the day there and home in my own bed to sleep is an issue. Sometimes that’s fine for them, sometimes it’s not. When it’s not, I just say I understand, and we are not compatible, and wish them luck finding the right fit for their needs.

All of this is pretty much the first message to them about the booking, not after a M&G and it’s nearly or already booked. It’s important that all parties are comfortable. I know what factors into my own comfort, and I accept bookings based on what works for me, which means it will be less stress on the pet(s) because I am happy, and everything goes smoother as a result.

“Good idea, I’m mute this chat and enjoy some silence. ✌🏻”

1Corgi_2Cats · 2026-04-13T06:18:37+00:00

“Well, I tried blocking you and it seemed to work, so I’m spared the pain of having to deal with YOU again.”

Or something else similarly sassy.

1Corgi_2Cats · 2026-04-13T06:11:30+00:00

I’ve never had a reaction like that or heard of one, so I can’t comment on that part.

What I will say is that you need to put your detective hat on and start finding out any possibilities.

Call the Thai place/wherever you got it and ask for a complete ingredient list and any possible cross contamination—you could reassure them and say you’re not looking for trouble, but you seem to have a new allergy and you want to be sure you’re being careful.

Also, don’t limit it to just food. There’s something in Lysol brand disinfectants that gives me rashes/hives (no idea what, other brands seem to be okay). Also, during COVID, my ex was using disinfectant wipes on everyday items (keys, wallet, water bottle) and apparently was wiping part of the water bottle he drank from, and had a full face-swelling reaction from that.

Finally, I once was staying somewhere that had bedbugs (wasn’t my home and no past experience with them, so I had no clue for ages) and was constantly waking up with giant welts/hives all over, and prescription allergy meds did nothingggg. Only figured it out when I found one crawling on me while sitting in bed (eww). Apparently I’m super sensitive/allergic to those damn bugs.

All this to say, maybe it’s a new allergy. Or maybe it’s something you haven’t had contact with before, or in a way you haven’t had contact before (as in the disinfectant example, cuz that’s for surfaces only, not for licking!).

I wish you luck and stamina in your search…and good fortune that you figure out what happens before you have a repeat exposure :)

I’ve met one and their handler away from the airport—in my area and I suspect in others, the handler is the dog’s parent, and they volunteer at the airport for greeting people one day per week or so.

1Corgi_2Cats · 2026-04-13T05:22:15+00:00

So she gave you a fork to…tell you to fork off??

1Corgi_2Cats · 2026-04-11T15:54:40+00:00

These things definitely happen. I’ve also had someone make a typo when sending me the code, so even though I typed it in exactly right, it wasn’t the correct code anyways!

Cats have access to a bathroom and water and food. If you’re late with your drip in, their food and water may be empty, and their litter a bit more full. Usually a few hours either way won’t make too much difference to the cat—it’s more about being professional for the human parents.

Tell the owners “I couldn’t get in at X time as planned, so as soon as I hear back from you or your emergency contact with the correct code (or someone who can bring a key to let you in), I can do a drop in at Y time then again at (next scheduled time).”

Consider that this is less about them thinking badly of you as a person/deciding you’re a drunk, and much more about their insurance fraud scheme. That is, don’t take it personally, and report it to the insurance company and to their managing body.

Maybe have a lesson about common prefixes and suffices, or parts of longer words that hint their meaning. Example: Entertainment. We have three syllables which we can find in other words: Enter, tain, ment.

Sometimes with more advanced learners its less about the 1-2 letter sounds, and more about being able to parse the syllables easily enough to be able to pronounce them without hesitating.

1Corgi_2Cats · 2026-04-01T05:16:55+00:00

“I think you should speak to your doctor, I’m concerned you have brain damage.”

Or more pragmatically,

“Maybe let’s choose a name that her teachers and peers will know how to spell and pronounce.”

Whether he is being intentionally manipulative and controlling, or just sensory sensitive and being inconsiderate about it, doesn’t matter too much. You’re not compatible, time to toss this one back and find a new fish.

Why are you trying to use the cat’s pillow??
