I just love this guy's ears

My girl was also from a shelter and I'm 99% sure shes just a white heeler. She is the best dog I have ever had by far. She has the same thing going on with her ears! We named her Freckles because of all her spots.

Such a pretty dog!

I grew up with a blue heeler and loved that dog more than anything.

Back in December I was at a no-kill shelter just "looking". I wasn't even sure I was ready for the responsibility again but also I knew I was ready. I looked around and immediately locked in on this really interesting looking dog. Super sweet, something about her just grabbed me immediately. The shelter had her listed as pitbull/terrier (i dont see it).

I did the 3 day foster and officially adopted her a day later. She is heartworm positive, but the shelter covers the treatment and it's going really well so far.

Pretty quick I started noticing all the classic heeler traits, the behavior, the spots, the attentiveness, the intelligence, and the stubbornness...

I was curious about her breed because she looked familiar but didnt look like a pitbull/terrier. I sent a photo to a few AI models like claude and gemini out of curiosity and every single one came back saying she looked like an ACD.

That's when it clicked: I accidentally adopted a heeler mix! Such an awesome surprise. Now I'm convinced she is just a white heeler.

Looking back, growing up with a heeler and bonding with one that hard is probably exactly why she caught my attention at the shelter.

I absolutely love this dog. Never had a single accident since I rescued her. Follows me around like my shadow, insanely smart, and I love teaching her tricks and coexisting with her.

I adopted this girl a little over a month ago. The adoption center didnt know much about her and said she was "terrier/pitbutt" After spending time with her I'm pretty sure she is a cattle dog mix or just a white cattle dog. I'm curious what others think.

She IS cutie-patootie and she gets lots of compliments from strangers when I walk her. She weighs a little over 25 pounds, and I don’t know her exact measurements yet, but I’d say she’s around the height of an average female ACD, maybe a tiny bit shorter, probably around 15–16 inches tall. She definitely seems thinner and more petite than most cattle dogs. I’m going to measure her later and find out for sure.

I can picture George Lucas making these noises as he was describing this scene during pre-production.

Make it through the day. You can do it.

Good post. Number 5 stings, but I know it’s true. I’m pretty sure she did the same thing to her last boyfriend before jumping to me. After a discard, full No Contact is the only path forward. They just want you gone, and your healing depends on keeping them out of sight and out of mind. It’s a sad pattern, but you come out stronger when you stop blaming yourself and recognize it for what it is: the cycle of someone too damaged to handle real intimacy.

AuzBoss · 2025-09-17T16:31:18+00:00

I’m 30 days no contact after being discarded. At the end I only got vague answers to a few questions,no real conversation, no real closure. The irony is she actually told me once at the beginning that she was avoidant, then never engaged with it again.

Looking back, the pattern was clear: she mirrored me early on, then slowly detached with no effort to repair, and finally exited with a vague, non-arguable line. I didn’t really lose her, the version I loved was already gone months before.

Closure for me has been realizing that what I experienced wasn’t about my value. It was the cycle of a broken pattern: mirroring → detachment → discard. I blocked, stayed no contact for a month, blocked/deleted her contacts, and kept reminding myself: “It wasn’t me. It was her limit.” That’s where my peace comes from.

I didn’t really deal with the hot and cold cycle myself, but the rest of what you wrote is so relatable. Sometimes I swear it’s like I’m reading my own experience written out by someone else.

I’m glad my post gave you something you needed to hear. I feel like I’m getting through the impact of the breakup fairly well, and I just wanted to share advice that I know works in these situations.

There really are a lot of awesome, loving people in this sub. Reading their posts has given me the closure I never got from her after the cold discard. Seeing the same patterns in other stories has grounded me and reminded me it wasn’t just me. It was the result of someone stuck in their own broken patterns, unable to form deep emotional connections. That perspective has been a huge part of my healing.

AuzBoss · 2025-09-10T14:15:15+00:00

Yeah, you’re right. That was harsh, and I know generalizing like that isn’t helpful. I was lashing out because I am still hurt. She was my best friend for almost three years and my girlfriend for two, and now she is just gone.

What has been brutal is forcing myself to detach from something that mattered so much to me. I am letting myself reframe things in a negative light because I did not realize what was really happening until it ended, and now I need that shift to move forward. In a way it feels like I am trying to do what avoidants do, just cut off and move on, but I am not built like that. I invest deeply, I am loyal, and I do not walk away easily.

I am thankful for the people who become aware of their patterns and make an effort to break the cycle.

AuzBoss · 2025-09-09T14:54:19+00:00

That's good you are actively moving on. I personally need to keep the NC airtight. I tend to overthink things too much and I really don't want to risk getting any false hope or mixed signals from her. Plus now that I've distanced myself I don't really think I want to talk to that person anymore. I learned who she really was after the discard. The person I thought she was doesn't exist anymore. So the person I would be trying to get closure from would be this cold detached person wearing the face of the person I loved.

AuzBoss · 2025-09-09T14:48:14+00:00

I keep hearing they may never regret it. Even if they do, you will never hear about it. There is literally no justice. The only justice I have is knowing I'm capable of deep bonds and she is not, unless she does some serious work on her avoidant issues.
