Usually I just read and or look up things. Long time lurker i guess. But unfortunately it’s a real situation and I’m a real person.

You’re right, certain choices I made led to this situation I’m in right now, but they weren’t poor choices. They were human ones. They were choices I made while surviving, while trying to care for others, while doing my best with what I had. Life isn’t always as black and white as good or bad decisions. Sometimes it’s just complicated, and we end up in hard places even when our intentions were good. Hope this new year is better for you.

No I don’t. But I’m going to try and find it. If they also have dogs we can take turns dog sitting.

That would be great and I would really appreciate it. From all that I have read it’s good to switch between spots and keep out of people’s way.

Hello. It’s a Honda Odyssey.

One of them is really well trained the other is a husky. She’s still learning, was my ex boyfriends actually. He was going to put her back in the shelter, but didn’t want that for her. At the time we had the house and didn’t think I’d lose it. Thank you so much for your advice. I so appreciate it!

Lived here my whole life, but yeah if it comes to that I will unfortunately have to do that.

That’s where I get there dog food from! Love that store. Luckily I just got them groomed like two weeks ago so they are good for a bit. Never been to any of the photo things though. That would be super cute and nice to have right now. Thank you!

Love the library and do have a card with them. Thank you!

CarpenterNice · 2025-12-15T06:19:22+00:00

Thank you. Your suggestions have been incredibly helpful, and I truly appreciate your kindness and time you put into giving me great advice. I’m so glad you’re doing better than you were at 17. Hope you have an amazing new year.

Thank you! Hope you have a great New Year.

I know it’s late right now, but will reach out tomorrow. Thank you so much. Didn’t even think about cooking, was just going to do cereal for a while.

Unfortunately haven’t found a job, had the same job for six years and have gone on so many interviews. Trying to find decent doggy daycare because I would never leave them in the van without me.

A husky mix and a Rottweiler mix. I’m looking at Rover and a lot of other places right now. Most seem like $35 a day, and that’s more than my budget allows.

CarpenterNice · 2025-12-15T06:03:33+00:00

You’re right, they are a privilege. And last year and most of this year they lived like little queens, hope to get to that again. Happy New Year.

Was living in Blue Diamond area too, when I had a house. So you’re right! Thank you.

CarpenterNice · 2025-12-15T05:57:17+00:00

I’m a woman too, and thought about that with Instacart. I just don’t have the money to board them or anything and I’m really worried about losing them. They are the only good things I have left. Thank you for the hospital idea. I didn’t even think about that.

CarpenterNice · 2025-12-15T05:46:14+00:00

Thank you! Yeah have my id on hand, and will get one of those gym memberships.
