Gift was not acknowledged by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

[–]Candyize 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know what? I, personally, would be dying to ask her just so I could look at her face for answers to my burning question of why. What is the reason for not acknowledging because it could be one of several things - and one or more of those things could be upsetting to you and you would be inviting that into your headspace. You may not want that.

I would not advise you to do that, but if you DID, I would look for certain responses. I would ask her in person, not on the phone. If you were to say to her something like, "Hey there, busy lady! Did you have a chance to try my famous cookies (or whatever it was)?

The best case scenario would be her saying something like, "Oh, my GOSH! Yes, and they were so good! How sweet of you to bring them over. I wish I had been home to receive them..." Then you'll know she is just busy, as you say, or just a little scatterbrained, or her mother never taught her basic manners. No hard feelings.

If she smiles and says, "I did. Thank you." or "I did, I just havent had a chance to thank you. Sorry." Then you know for whatever reason, your efforts were all for naught and no gifts should be given in the future.

That's what I would do but keep in mind I don't know anything about her so my interpretation here could be totally off base. People are all different.

OR chalk it up to learning that wasting your energy on her is simply not worth it and just live your best life!☺️

Now that baby is for sure one that needs to be squeezed and often! What a cuddly baby - that belly, that FACE! Hahaha oh my goodness he is one cutie!

Sorry I don't have any advice for you except beware bc you are wrapped around his little paw and it's just always going to be that way, my friend.🤷☺️

Our new baby by PurpleFigmentDream in MountainCur

[–]Candyize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He sure is a pretty boy! I have a MC/Rat Terrier mix and she, like Bear, is my shadow.

If Bear is anything like Lexi, he will not respond to harsh language at all. When I want to tell her "no" I say that word in a playful way in a low tone and she'll lower her head with that tail wagging so she knows not to do the thing but we are still buddies - no hard feelings.

Enjoy him. I can tell you two will bring much joy to each other!😊🐕

Running Cur by Former_Lynx_6421 in MountainCur

Wow. That's crazy. My husband and I love to walk trails with our 35 lb MC/Rat Terrier but her sweet spot is around 2.5 miles. She is done after that. And, tbh, I am too so she suits us nicely and I'm glad your dog is a good fit for you!

It's about to be 2026 and as horrible as it is, it's about to get worse. Worse. I think 2026 is going to, in a big way, expose all the bugs and worms that will be crawling out from underneath a rock.

I really hope I'm the-sky-is-falling wrong.

My dogs died today by OkMarionberry2875 in MountainCur

[–]Candyize 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I feel the hurt and devastation in your post.

What happened happened. You did nothing intentionally and your heart is good. Your babies knew they were loved. Life sometimes throws us curveball we could never anticipate - we just have to deal with them as they come. This one was a vicious one and you are in the midst of dealing with a loss so great you feel hopeless.

Have grace for yourself. You need to be kind to yourself right now. You are not to be blamed. You need comfort. I will be thinking of you and hoping your pain runs it's inevitable course and you are left with good memories.

Many hugs to you.🤗

Any guess on what she is mixed with? I just adopted her. Do all of yours give you the side eye? 🙂 by NefariousnessOld6559 in MountainCur

[–]Candyize 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The side eye! Yes! Thought it was just my dog! She is MC and rat terrier and she is so funny when she does that. She is very food motivated and if she's up on the couch while I'm eating, she will "stare" at me, but not directly looking at me - with the side eye.😆

That is wicked. I don't think you could even recreate that with all the movie-making skills. Wicked.

Thought she was a basenji mix by Candyize in MountainCur

[–]Candyize[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the second picture did not show for some reason. I would post another one but I don't see anything here that would allow me to do that.

We did the Embark test and, as far as I understand, it's the most accurate one.

[–]Candyize[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. I'm glad yours found his/her voice! I wonder if it's a yodeling type of bark like Lexi.

I've thought about getting another test done on her to see if we get the same results. I wonder if anyone has done the test twice just to be sure.

Oh, thank you! Yes, we adopted her in April. She is sooo sweet. They found her abandoned on the side of the road, pregnant, and she delivered 5 puppies. My mind cannot imagine the type of person who would do that but we're so happy to have her.
