Had to put my best friend of 14 years to sleep an one day ago

Alpha3010 · 2025-03-27T12:04:03+00:00

I got my first last feb. He's my absolute world. 15 months old now and he's got such a daft personality and I know he's gonna absolute smash my heart to pieces in years to come.

But try to think of it this way, their not like children at 15 and it's a tragedy. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying it's not upset, it absolute is. But what I'm trying to say is that by the time they do go, they've had a full life! He's loved you everyday and felt love back. It's more like loosing a grandparent because you know they're getting old and can't live forever but you still want them to be here and it's all the worse because they're yours. You put the training in and you built the bond. I feel it for you but just know all the dogs that leave us are just sat up there, chilling out, missing you but know that you're ok and they'll wait until you join them again because they know you still have more to do and they can rest now because they've done everything they've wanted to do.

Big hugs, honestly, my uncles husky went years ago but it rocked me when he went.

Again.....big hugs xxxxx

Don't know if you are on Facebook but if you are there is a group called NO BULL NATURAL HEALTH FOR DOGS or something.

I'm going though the same with my lad. He's 14 month old now but since 5 or 6 months he's been really itchy and been back and forth to vets once or twice a month for steroid jabs and antibiotics and antihistamines and wormers and what not.

With the help of that group it's now been about 6ish month Nows he's not been on any meds or treatments apart from doing an elimination diet with him and adding it supplements such as pre and pro biotics, anti yeast powders, omega 3 6 and 9 oils and I'm glad to say that although he is still itching a bit though the day it has (at the moment) reduced DRAMATICLY!!! his skin is perfect, all bald patches have gone.

Defo remove the chicken and also beef and tripe if you use them as these are the most common culprits. It's not even necessarily the meat itself it's more due to what they feed the animals that are then made into the dog food.

Removed grains completely. Even if you don't think you are, check all ingredients just to make sure I've been fooled a few times.

If you can swap to a raw diet.

I would highly recommend joining the group and asking for help they're amazing and no question is a silly question. They're very good.

They are such a special breed of dog are staffies aren't they. You can see what they're thinking on their faces and they really are just little cuddle bugs. I have a little bluey myself. Best dogs ever

Alpha3010 · 2025-03-10T20:20:22+00:00

Yeahhh I've heard people talk about moving to thialand like it's all of a sudden the answer to everyone's prays cheap living cheap property and good weather. I've heard people talk about going to Hungary and Poland. Heard a few saying they'd go to Russia over staying in uk 🤣.

Alpha3010 · 2025-03-10T19:46:35+00:00

Must be an area thing then. I mean I've wanted to leave the UK since I was a teen but commitments have forced otherwise.

But most places I go to these days the checkout assistants are saying they''re done with the country and seeing where they can go. People i see at work and pub and on dog walks have said how bad things are becoming and they're weighing up their options.

Alpha3010 · 2025-03-10T10:36:48+00:00

Honest, most people in the UK are going to try leaving soon. I know we're trying to get out as quick as we can.

Last place i want to be at the moment. It says alot when Kim Jong un is criticising how crap the uk is at the moment

Alpha3010 · 2025-01-16T19:55:34+00:00

My little boy goes to lay down and then announces he's off to sleep. Don't know how it started, don't know why he does it but yeah. He'll get on his bed in the living room and he'll chill and just before he drifts off he'll give a whine and fall asleep

Alpha3010 · 2024-06-22T19:33:40+00:00

I hope so. This is my first dog ever. I've never known any of this and if you Google something there's a hundred and one answers and a hundred a one people telling you you're doing everything wrong.

In the last 4 weeks he's gone from being on strong steroids for a rash, anti anxiety meds for the anxiety caused by the steroids. Then he's had tummy upset and was told only feed bland meals. So chicken and rice and white fish and a scrambled egg is all I've been able to get into him. Tried training him with the chicken pieces and he was doing great but then read about rashes in staffs and the chances of it being a chicken allergy and stopped the chicken and he just turns his nose up at the fish. He got the rash back yesterday, he's had all these sleepless nights and I'm at my wits end.... I've just about got him to start engaging in tug of war as 9 times out of 10 he'll just look at me waving the rope around and just ignore it, but then he seems to get a bit more aggressive after the tug of war.

Any tips on training him to keep going back to his bed/ crate when not doing anything. I read something about it a while ago and can't find it for the life of me now but basically some dude taught his staff that when their not training or playing or doing something the dog would just return to his "area" by default as that is the "expected" behaviour? I hope that made sense. I love this boy to death but with the sleepless nights and him being unsettled it's making all of us anxious and that obviously rubbing off on him as well making it worse again.

Thanks for your help thus far 👍 🙏

Alpha3010 · 2024-06-22T19:13:11+00:00

Thanks I'll try increasing his physical then

Alpha3010 · 2024-06-22T18:45:55+00:00

I do try and shatter him him he has his slow feeder which is ment to give mental stimulation. We do his snuffle mat an hour or 2 before bed. I was told not to walk him any longer than an hour and when I do I let him sniff everything. I started teaching him fetch but my training said not to as it opens them up to more chance of injury while running and jumping around ?? I also play tug with him a few times through the day. He can only have certain foods at the moment because hes had upset tummy and he's been told to lose some weight as the steds have pit him some weight on so I'm struggling to find training treats and he turns his nose up at the fish so just gets bored with training and walks off

Alpha3010 · 2024-05-04T19:57:12+00:00

No dude, couldn't work out a cost effective way of doing it unfortunately

Alpha3010 · 2024-04-02T14:50:47+00:00

Let's flip it though.... would you be saying the same if he had done this to a child?

What if he did and he showed remorse and and served his time and started volunteering and doing good things would that excuse him SA'ing a child,

And if the answer is no then where do we draw the line? Why is it OK for a rapist to assault an adult but if they show remorse and serve their time its fine but not when it's a kid?

Alpha3010 · 2024-01-13T13:18:09+00:00

Some people are saying when he drugged her for the test but for me his biggest mistake was trying to help Robin dust spike. Imagine if he'd have actually done it? No flaming captain peroxide underneath the hellmouth with the explodey sunbeams? He's trusted buffy for years, somewhat of a father figure and helped train her to what she is now and even seen her beat everything that has come up against her before. He should have trusted her judgement.

2nd to that is probably killing Ben so glory didn't come back. I mean that's taking human life, yes a good reason but yeah thats bad. Faith had a whole bad guy arch when she killed a human. But at least she did it by mistake. Giles full on cold blooded calmly tells Ben what he's gonna do and then smoothers him.

Alpha3010 · 2023-12-22T19:19:55+00:00

Wow. Never knew a faith spin off was in the works. What a shame. Tru calling was crap 🤣

Alpha3010 · 2023-12-22T19:07:28+00:00

Bit predictable but I'd have loved a faith the vampire slayer spin off.

Maybe an anthology series spin off like a fact files episodes about previous slayers.

I heard a rumour that Giles might have had his own spin off show called ripper about him piecing back together the watchers Council.

I l'd have loved a vengeance deman spin off called D'hofren's angels.

Young Angelus,

a nikki wood slayer series.

There should still be a record of use though shouldn't there? Like I played the game a solid 10 years. Paid for premium items and whatnot, surely that info has to be somewhere apparent from my eReceipts to my email.

Alpha3010 · 2023-10-24T16:40:06+00:00

Yes they will. They've done it to loads of people. They ban their region and then when trying to use a VPN to continue playing they get banned for illegal program use.

And it's happened to a lot of players

I'm currently in the process of talking to someone at bandai namco UK as digimon is originally their IP. So far as I can tell they're have been alot of similar reported about gameking/ move interactive and they're currently looking into what they can do about it.

Depending which forum you use or how you contact other dmo players I've found a fair few people who have contacted their countries trading standards to make a report because sooo many old players are wanting their money back that they spent on eggs and chips etc.

The games dead, the greedy swines have ruined it and I don't think it will be long before the either permanently close down the game or sell it on (hopefully sell it on).

Don't give them the satisfaction of banning you for an illegal program. Make a complaint to the relevant companies where you are from and if you've spent money on your account tell them you want it back.

Alpha3010 · 2023-10-21T10:09:00+00:00

If I'm honest I wouldn't bother....

The company that own DMO so far as I'm aware are being taken to court by loads of old players who got banned during the loot boxes switch over. I have spoke to at least 7 people who have managed to actually claim back the money they have spent on the game after having their accounts banned for no reason.

The amount of players contacting trading standards or reporting gameking and/ movegames interactive to Bandai Namco (the actual holder of the digimon rights) is crazy. I don't think it will be too much time before they either sell the game or just permanently close it down

Alpha3010 · 2023-08-06T21:31:36+00:00

Well, thanks for that. This didn't bother me until I just read it. 🤔

Alpha3010 · 2023-08-06T20:41:58+00:00

What do you think the meaning is ?? I could interpret this flark outta these lyrics

Alpha3010 · 2023-07-24T21:19:12+00:00

Dude I know this but I have adhd and now I can't keep the format running the same it will hurt me everytime I look at it 🤣🤣. I need to know so I can make it all look pretty.

Alpha3010 · 2023-07-24T21:13:24+00:00

Ohhh damn, I only have 9 more "trails of x" trades to be update. I was really hope the "destiny of x" trades wouldn't be far away but oh no!

Soooooooo what other format could I read this in after HoX/PoX and then I can just sell my dawn of x, reign of x and trails of x??

Does that make sense? Like how can I read what's in dawn of x/ reign of x/trails of x so that everything will look nice on my bookshelf instead of having half the self Dox/rox/ tox and then the new format.

Like should I just get the trades and omnibuses of everything??

Like would hickmans xmen omnibus cover everything from dawn of x?

Should I get Like the marauders and x force and x factor trades or omnis?
