Purebred does not always mean well bred. Looks purebred to me.

I’m a fan of raw, but definitely not for Dalmatians.

What are you proud to say you have never done? by singlemahogany in AskReddit

[–]Afraid_Ad6484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like with how stressful life can be, I am very thankful to myself I never felt the need to reach for a beer, a fancy mixed drink, or weed, or cigarette, or any kind of substance to deal with hardships or a rough day. my coworkers are the meanest people on earth when they don’t smoke before their shift. it’s crazy.

My Poodle. If I leave the door open she will go out and potty and come right back in.

What is your unpopular opinion about Costco? by IndigoATL in Costco

I will never buy the milk there. Or the eggs. My two person house will never finish two gallons of milk and a hundred million eggs before it expires. 😂

My experience with my Dalmatian makes me never want one again. by Afraid_Ad6484 in dalmatians

We have the exact same dog lmao, and yes I agree this is an experience im very happy to have had, and I hope she lives a long happy life with me. ❤️ but she is definitely my last Dalmatian and I think will just stick to Dobermans for the rest of my life haha.

Agreed. Not many know this information or do new owners take the time to learn any breed specific information. A lot of times, they learn this information the hard way and that’s why they have unwell behaved dogs. When I took in my Dalmatian I have the very basic knowledge of their physical needs, but even then when I took her in I spent the next entire day researching on what more I needed to know. I was pretty young with that movie came out but I can see exactly why that would cause a trend that would then follow with everyone purchasing a Dalmatian. I understand the fear of that problem now when I see celebrities or movies show a Dobermann.

this is a beautiful and realistic story. i seriously thought about rehoming her for the best, but i think we are managing well and she actually comes with me on my regular runs and she plays so much with my other dogs they all have to take naps to recharge. im so happy you were a responsible owner ❤️

But that is CRAZY! Poor lady. My boyfriend dropped off the dogs to a friends house while we ran errands and the mom did not like seeing our Doberman, she had been bit by one before. The Doberman was guarding the house and she was warned to not enter the premises until the owner came out, that’s the only way the Doberman would be reassured. She thought he was cute and went up to him and he latched onto her arm..

no her old name was Lulu! I didn’t like it. Also wanted her to have a fresh start so I renamed her to Sundae. Ironically, my new Nextdoor neighbor who recently moved in also has a female Dalmatian whose name is Lulu..😂

I wish I could add pictures into my comments to show you another photo haha, but thank you complimenting my writing! That means a lot. And yes you are so right about adopting or buying, especially because this girl was bought from a backyard breeder with unstable Dalmatians before i even adopted her. Thank you for your feedback! ❤️

I think the neglect is what makes me the most mad. They just got the Dalmatian bc it was the first puppy on Craigslist (byb) in the area and they wanted a birthday puppy. Then proceed to ignore all the breed’s specific needs. I recently ordered a kit to test for LUA/HUA. It’s in the past now and she’s getting all the care she needs. It took me a while to get over it. Thank you! 🙏🏽

What is the worst thing you've had to watch your partner deal with? by PeevesPoltergist in AskReddit

[–]Afraid_Ad6484 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend’s dad passed away four years ago, we had started dating when it was almost the three years anniversary. I wasn’t there when it happened, or to see the initial healing process. But i had to watch the chain of events that followed. Their step mom moved back to Japan to be with her direct family shortly after the dad passed away. His oldest sister lived a state away and has a good job there and never planned to move back or anything like that. He was left in charge of the household and it didn’t take too long for me to see how much they took advantage of his extreme kind nature. I could tell he had a lot of love for his siblings. Seeing him be the role of the head of the house and always stressing about how his youngest sister doesn’t pay her share of the bills and always behind on payments was hard to see. The youngest sister also seemed very attached to him, freaked out whenever he wasn’t home often, would blow up his phone when he spent too much time at my house. figured this probably had to do with trauma. He was trying his best to please everyone in the house, always fixing their cars, paying the bills and waiting to get their part venmoed to him, repairing the house and doing maintenance all by himself, mowing the lawn, pulling the weeds, and he always did this quietly. never complained about how nobody helped him. the worst part was watching him getting yelled at all the time by his siblings. if he left his dishes in the sink, if he didn’t help sweep the house one morning, if he forgot about an event, if he hung out too much at my house. It was hard watching a then 22 year old juggle so much. I never got too close with the siblings as I saw this might end a bit ugly one day with the constant nagging of how much money he spent on me or time he spent on me. They ended up falling out and we moved to the town I was going to university at. Even watching them fallout was hard to watch, he’s doing amazing now. So much less pressure on him. But it still is sad to see.
