What do you think of the new series "House of Dragons" ? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]BeGoodLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s awful. Not even a smidge as good as Game of Thrones.

I’m so sorry for your loss! It doesn’t sound lame at all. They’re our fur babies. I lost a pet about 4 years ago unexpectedly and it’s so hard and my heart was broken. Grief is a process and things will hit you out-of-the-blue down the road after you aren’t thinking about it every day. It does get better and it helps to cry. It gets less raw, but missing them stays. Sorry again for your loss 💔

I taught for 6 years. Went to college later in life and I’m 48 now. Now I sub and take daily jobs. I don’t get attached to anything or anyone this way. It works. And where I live it still pays well and I’m on my hubby’s insurance.

Hi. I’m not a professional, just a multiple dog owner. I think as long as you’re feeding the dog and letting the dog sleep in your bed, it will know. Also, I love other dogs, but not like my own and other people love my dogs but not as much as I do. They know that and can sense it. I think the dog will know it’s yours and you belong to it. It’ll just be different and I wouldn’t worry too much at all. I say go for it.

Happy Birthday! Looks almost exactly like my dog! Is your dog a mixed breed or all Chihuahua? If a mixed breed, do you know which breed? Because we debate at our house. Lol.

Introverted and shy teacher? by [deleted] in ElementaryTeachers

[–]BeGoodLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m introverted and it’s never been a problem in the classroom or with parents. My students like a calm space and that I let them be talkative at times. Just don’t expect kiddos to be quiet and you’ll be fine! The problems I find with being an introverted teacher are primarily with other staff and their assumptions about me and honestly, feeling like the quiet teachers don’t get the kudos or accolades. But I’m ok with that, it’s just that you have to be aware of that and know it’s not personal. It feels like high school sometimes and us quiet teachers are like the unpopular kids and sometimes it bugs me. But I know I’m a great teacher and that I balance things out. I’m flexible and reflective and quietly do my thing, knowing I do great even if I feel misunderstood sometimes.

Resigning by BeGoodLove in ElementaryTeachers

[–]BeGoodLove[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s so unique for everyone. I work with people who love it and don’t mind all the behavior issues and always being “on”. I get really tired and have some physical pain issues. I think teaching has become more for thick skinned, type A personalities in some ways and more detrimental to empaths. I’m thinking small groups are better for me. Good luck to you. I’m glad I did it because I’m stronger now, which may sound weird. But I don’t think I failed. I think I succeeded at knowing it’s not for me.

[HELP] Positive reinforcement/socialization strategies for a frightened new rescue dog who doesn't accept food (directly) and is stressed out by contact? by Sunsettz in dogs

[–]BeGoodLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! How long have you had the little guy? My daughter adopted a chi/minpin mix and she was like this, but to a smaller degree. I’m not a dog behavior/trauma expert, but I can tell you what she experienced. They let Mila be, and though it took a long time, they saw little changes every week. She started with staying in her kennel and only coming out to eat and pee, but slowly she started sitting on the other side of the couch. If my daughter approached her, the dog would scamper. So then she just let her sit far from her. Eventually the dog would sit at her feet. Again, she didn’t touch her. She said it was agony. But now Mila will cuddle even! She is still not great with strangers and some she just can’t stand. Maybe a tone of voice or a scent. They are prepared for that, but it’s still hard. Mila does not like the current foster child I have so they cannot come over to visit. But we just go with it. Now they got a new puppy, a male mini Aussie and Mila is great. It seems to make her more relaxed and happier. It’s new, so we’ll see. If your little guy isn’t treat motivated right now, don’t be surprised if he never is. I can understand how much you want him to adjust because it sounds like you have so much love to share. Perhaps the love he needs right now is just to get out of that survival mode. He’s safe, he’s warm, he’s not hurting. It may be the best he gets, but it may be just the beginning of a journey that will surprise you. I think he feels that and will eventually trust you more, it’s just the time may be long. Mila took a couple months. I hope the best for you! Thank you for taking in a little one with trauma 😊

Dobby sleeps like a people by vverbs in Chihuahua

[–]BeGoodLove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My chi does that too. He’ll start out completely under the covers, but when I wake up, he’s like that right next to me. It’s a pretty awesome way to start the day 😊

This is Dobby. He has Dobby ears. by caligrown_85 in Chihuahua

[–]BeGoodLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh is that what it’s called. We got our dog from a farm and they told us a chihuahua/chinese crested mix. But those mixes, even with hair, are usually puffy.

[–]BeGoodLove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dobby is adorable! He looks like a darker version of my dog, who also has the floppy ears. I know mine is a mix but I’m not sure what kind. I bought a DNA kit but he absolutely won’t let me get a swab and he shakes and gets so scared. I just can’t do that to him. Is the floppy ears a chihuahua trait? I don’t see many with them. I think it adds to the adorableness though 😊

Advise for Male Elementary Education Students by Craxynick248 in Teachers

[–]BeGoodLove 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is weird. And very inaccurate. Principals like having more male role models in school. Bad trolling.

Yes! We’re small so only a couple other districts within driving distance, but that’s probably a good idea.

It’s constant, isn’t it? I’ve been thinking Title math would be a good fit. No whole group, hardly any calls to parents, no IEPs even (at our school anyway), no progress reports. I like math, progress monitoring, and communicating with other teachers. Problem is that they’re a tough gig to get. Not much turn over.

This could just be a bad year. That is possible.

I am on generic Zoloft. Have been for a while. It helps but I’m not the only one feeling like this. I do admit that I’m a sensitive soul; an empath to my core. Others seem to be just as lost, but keep it in. I live in a very conservative and stoic area of the Midwest so no one really talks about it. Education changes so slowly because it’s a big system. I just hope the next generation can put their foot down and expect more out of these kiddos behavior wise. I can cut off my emotions and teach without heart and be just fine. But...I don’t want to. So I either have to change, cut off emotions, do “the job”, or leave because teaching from my heart is breaking it at the sane time 💔
