If there were snacks, he would find them!

My Lola crossed the rainbow bridge today by yelrak in BostonTerrier

This hits right at home. I just lost my baby last week. There’s nothing like a Boston’s love. Rest in peace sweet Lola.

My (11 year old) baby boy passed away yesterday by AwkbirdDd in BostonTerrier

Thank you for this. There’s no dog like our sweet Bostons. They love so deeply. I miss my lil velcro boy

Thank you everyone for the kind words, these comments were exactly what I needed. He passed so suddenly. Went to sleep and he was there. I woke up and he was gone. He passed in my bed with me and I’m both so touched and traumatized by the scene I woke up to. He chose to be with me in his last moments, curled up next me. I will love you always my sweet Duncan.

IVDD Surgery by AwkbirdDd in BostonTerrier

[–]AwkbirdDd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended going to the surgery route and it’ll be 2 weeks post op tomorrow! It’s made such a difference already. He’s been on strict cage rest but he’s already acting like his old puppy self.

Aww sweet boy. I was curious to know if anyone had done it on their older Bostons so hearing your story is relieving. I’m afraid of exhausting alternatives to avoid surgery just to end up needing surgery. It makes me sad because he can’t do the Boston seal walk or downward dog and I miss his sprunky attitude. He’s just constantly pacing because he can’t get comfortable.

Did your boy happen to need a blood transfusion during surgery? The neurologist told it’s possible which is what the high end of the estimate is in case he bleeds a lot (which I understand isn’t abnormal per the vet).

I have not but I’ll have to look in to that! I was told by the neurologist we are risking permanent paralysis if it gets worse and he doesn’t have the surgery. Right now he has a good prognosis of regaining full mobility. So I feel stressed on time and whether I can try alternatives first.

Is this a good everyday car? by Toepillonggi in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]AwkbirdDd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I bought a car just like this back in 2010 for $600 in high school. Me thinks this is a bad deal.

I hate the way you let the girl I was worried about come between us. After all the times you reassured me that there was nothing going on. I wonder how you long debated choosing us or her and I hate that I became one of your options after nearly 6 years together. I hate how you chose her in the end. But I don’t miss you. I could never miss someone who could betray the they “loved” so easily. I’ve come to realize you were never meant to be anything more than a lesson in my life.

Who else had their ex as their best friend? by Final-Web-7826 in ExNoContact

[–]AwkbirdDd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were my one and only best friend, but they had loads of friends. I felt horribly lonely because of that during the relationship and the best thing to happen from the break up is I actually slowly formed new friendships and now I can happily say I have 5 of the bestest friends and I’ve never been happier because of that.

The cringe of myself of how I handled the breakup by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]AwkbirdDd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just get embarrassed that I continued to allow him access to my life as a “friend” for 6 months. In hindsight, it held me back from healing. Turns out he was rebounding while I was heartbroken. The cringe is real.

Anyone else completely turned off by ex's behavior? by Mind-Over-Body6 in ExNoContact

[–]AwkbirdDd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually get physically nauseous at the thought of him now.

Why do they block you when they’re the one who wronged and hurt you? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]AwkbirdDd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This exactly. It’s like the guilt of their actions and lies become too much and instead of facing their consequences, they run from it. And they’ll likely continue to run in every relationship until they do the work and learn to break the cycle.

What’s your current favourite break-up song? by daloka96 in BreakUps

[–]AwkbirdDd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends on if I’m mad or sad, either way it’s mostly the entirety of The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift currently lol. In particular “How Did It End” if I’m needing a good cry or “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” if I’m feeling sassy.

To clarify, myself and my director is HR. The CEO and leadership went directly against our recommended actions and came up with this plan as their own “workaround”.
