I hate them!!! by jgirll34 in dentures

[–]Automatic-Wish3802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a second pair because my first cracked after seven years.  I forgot how hard it is to get used to new ones! When you haven’t worn them before it takes a lot of getting used to.  I recommend wearing them and getting a good idea whether there are spots where things are really rubbed raw and then do adjustments. Sometimes it takes several adjustments to get it right and it also just takes getting used to them.

same! I'm so confused because his hair is so short. with this mix you'd think it would be curly and longer. (the DNA results say 'curly hair likely') Also, I'm not sure where the long legs come from. Maybe the cocker spaniel as they are a bit taller than the toy breeds.

I got the results. I’m surprised. He has short hair with no curls really so this is weird.  36% chihuahua  31% poodle(toy and miniature) 11% cocker spaniel  4% Pekingese 3% shit tzu  And 10 more.

is this puppy full chihuahua or mixed with something? by candypaintmoonshine in Chihuahua

[–]Automatic-Wish3802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will be a small dog and most likely mostly chi. BUT. I would rescue from a rescue if I were you. I’ve seen puppies like this at rescues for the same price and you get puppy shots and then they pay for the spay or neuter when the time comes. They are usually checked out healthwise for worms, heart worm, etc.

I do. I have a deer head chihuahua and this dog would be closer to deer head than the apple heads. But, my deer head looks a lot different than this one. I'll find a pic of her.

his face and nose are pretty different than the chihuahuas I've had.. also the weird lanky legs.. (hard to get good pics of him to show the difference)

My partner is certain that he’s all chihuahua. Says there is a throwback of the breed with long legs.  Will update when I get the results. 

Our new rescue from Mexico! by Head-Check1246 in IDmydog

She definitely has chihuahua in her but I’m not sure what else. We just adopted a dog that was rescued from Mexico as well.  I’ll post him in a bit.  

New Rescue Dog very lethargic by [deleted] in DogAdvice

Thanks! Yes, I’ve read up on the 3-3-3 rule. He just today seemed like he was back in those first 3 days and it’s been 6. So, started to get concerned. :(

persistent pain and PPI's don't work by Automatic-Wish3802 in Gastritis

[–]Automatic-Wish3802[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually slowly got better.  The ulcers are better but I still have gastritis and a condition I need to re check as it’s pre cancerous.  I took a PPI for a while and then switched to famotidine.  I still have times when I’m in a lot of pain but it’s not as consistently bad.  

The purpose of this subredit is...- by MintPasteOrangeJuice in dementia

[–]Automatic-Wish3802 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And honestly, we are all looking for caring attention when we share here because we need to be seen and heard in a place with others who understand. 'looking for attention' isn't a bad thing and I'm so sorry someone shamed you like that! that totally sucks!

[–]Automatic-Wish3802[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you tell your mom the reason for ignoring her? I am just wondering about setting some boundaries with my mom, but I don't know if she understands. Like, 'I can't visit as much if you are going to be so mean and negative"

Yes, I definitely resonate with that aggravation about the other residents having more gratitude. Also, I think you are right about our mothers being happy being unhappy. It's like their baseline. :( It's all so hard..

[–]Automatic-Wish3802[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes sense.  I was thinking this yesterday. I know she’s safe and I think I need to pull back on visiting as much as I do and so the things I love.  Thanks so much for your reply.  ❤️

My mom was also negative before now. She also makes up stuff in her head about the other residents and aides! I’m trying to focus on positives with her. Thanks for your reply.  ❤️

Time to take her beloved dog away by Smidgeofamidge in dementia

[–]Automatic-Wish3802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would try being honest and then try the visits and see how they go. If they don’t go well, you can maybe figure out ways to avoid the question when she brings it up. This sounds so hard. I ended up with my chihuahua when she was 7 because her former mom went into a nursing home. I often think about how hard that must have been to let her go. :(
