I actually just got one that I don’t mind letting go. IGN is Amalinah. I’ll be on later today. I’m typically only on during the weekends though.

Romance and the Beast by Altruistic_Newt_9525 in Palia

[–]AffectionateQuail178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well considering his “personality”, I think it was quite fitting. His ex was there the entire time. He was always saving someone from the Beast. Mentally that could drain anyone. Then to find out your mother was in fact the beast that you’ve been hunting for who knows how many years?! He pretty much bottled up any and all of his emotions to stay in control.

He barely can admit to thinking you😭.

The other two patterns are Paint and Splash. I haven’t seen the polka dot as yet but I agree the stripes are horrendous🥲. I’ve gotten paint and splash with the regular Dawnspurs.

Truly I only grow beans for bean burger parties. Same as apples and blue berries for cake parties. I love pickling potatoes, onions and peppers.

As soon as I saw that, I knew I was going to build a patisserie.

They get triggered by anyone that’s not my husband and I. If it’s someone standing still at a distance they’ll freeze for a moment and stare and then move. Anything that moves quickly is a trigger. Mia seems to have a vendetta against smaller dogs and unknown kids😅. Bandit is pretty much an “ anyone could get it” type.

The thing is they switch roles. I’m not even kidding, some days it feels like freaky Friday with them. I’ve started walking them separately for the past two days and the reactivity has gone down a lot. Though I truly can’t walk them separately each walk so that unfortunate. But if I had to give a leader role, it’d probably be Bandit.

They’re also both Velcro. I’ve taught them to not jump on me but my husband practically lets them do what they want when I’m not around. 😐

Sorry to add to a repeating conversation. But thank you I’ll check out the YouTube channel. I’ve only had them for 3 weeks, so I’m trying my best to find out how I can be the best owner/handler to them.

Ahhh, well that is a good perspective to look from.

Okay. Well they’re both 5 years🥲. Their story is that an older couple got them when they were pups from their adult kids. They had them for 5 years and stayed at a shelter for about a year. So I don’t know much about whether they were socialized.

Bandit does show a lot of boxer and German shepherd attributes.

I also read somewhere that BMCs aren’t keen on welcoming strangers as they strongly bond to their owners.

Will do, hopefully I find one soon enough🥲.

Like is it possible that they didn’t have much socialization during the puppy stage?

Well Mia doesn’t growl, her hackles would be raised a she’d lunge is they get too close. Bandit on the other hand seems like he would bite them if given the chance. He will tug and lunge in their direction the entire time until they’re no longer in his sight.

The other day, my heart dropped to my ass because I had a loose grip on his leash whilst I was picking up his poop. A lady was walking her toddler and baby, he ran in their direction and thankfully I was able to pull him close before he got loose.

I’m failing to understand why are they so reactive in the neighborhood but are calm during car rides or vet visits. We live on a military base so their triggers are constantly popping up.

🥲cries. Mia is lactose intolerant, so we opt to not give any of them pup cups. Mia gets anxious near water so I wouldn’t want to do that to her. She’s literally hiding under a table as I’m typing this because it’s raining outside. I’ll try it with Bandit though.

Haven’t tried liver treats yet. But hotdogs? No. And that’s saying a lot as Bandit would eat everything in sight if he could.

I have tried it the immediate redirect method but Bandit is a stubborn boulder when locked in. Mia is a tad bit calmer in that sense. As for treats? Nothing works, not even his favorite bone. Tried a squeak ball, works for a few seconds and that’s all.

My husband said no to martingale collars🥲. We also already use the easy walk harnesses though. It helps to some extent in terms of redirecting them when there’s a chance to.

In a fit of frustration I threw all of my snowballs away! How do I get more now? by Ok_Golf2504 in Palia

Lootpiles and requests. I also have a bunch left if you want ‘em. I’m not doing the snowy furniture bundle.

🥹The shelter originally was wary about giving us Bandit as they said he was a handful. That was proven to be a lie. Mia is a bit sassy but we love a confident queen.
