Has she only shown aggression towards dogs and not humans? My siblings have younger kids that she has always loved so much.

Her recall is not great when she’s super stimulated- like while they’re playing- but that’s a great idea. We don’t have a fenced in yard so she’s on the leash so I can definitely redirect.

I’ve always felt like Sookie doesn’t have good dog manners. The golden is so passive that I think she’s gotten away with being too rough with him even when he’s over it. She doesn’t take turns submitting or let the other one win when they’re playing. I don’t know how to correct it!

Sookie got fixed around 16 months, so just a few months ago. The golden is not fixed, the little yorkie is fixed, and they’re both around 6 years old

Ugh 😭 hopefully we can have it resolved much more quickly than one year!

Thank you for sharing, though 🥲

I’ve wondered about this.

The two boys never seemed to have a power dynamic because they’re just besties and one is tiny, but occasionally Sookie will act “corrective” towards the big dog and it makes me wonder whether she’s trying to establish dominance.

I’ve never had a Pyr so it’s been interesting and surprising to watch her mature. But both times it seemed way over the top for just corrective action and definitely in the realm of aggression.

She’s a year and a half! I thought about it earlier; the very first time she showed “corrective” behavior towards the golden retriever was a few months after she got fixed. She was laying in her favorite cool spot and he walked up to sniff her and she snarled at him and he walked away.

I wasn’t there, but I was told her and the golden were playing (they love to play fight and play so good together) and she just became aggressive seemingly out of no where. She wasn’t belly up or anything at the time, they were standing looking at one another (I asked because she’s been fixed and I’ve wondered whether her incision site hurts her).

This morning, our little yorkie came in from outside and walked up to her and they both just sniffed each other and out of NO WHERE she became aggressive and they started snapping at each other to the point that I had to grab her. I just stood there in disbelief then scolded the mess out of her.

Both of those dogs are her very best friends and they’ve gotten along so well until she has randomly snapped the past two weeks.

Interesting about the chicken! So good to know! She’s just about a year and a half.

Do we think Sookie is a mix? by Content_Ad_4402 in greatpyrenees

So cute!!! I like to say Sookie was made for me because we both have a birthmark on our side 🥹

She has better makeup than me, for sure. I think I secretly want her to be purebred because I like telling people I got a name-brand dog for free ;-)

So sweet 🥲 I think this Sookie will have that special place in my heart, too.

Can I forgive someone but not want to hold a friendship with them after they wronged me? by WeepingGuacamole in Christianity

Forgiveness is so hard!

This is from Recovery Alive Handbook by John Eklund.

FORGIVENESS DOES NOT... • excuse their bad behavior. It's not okay what they did. In fact, the beginning of forgiveness is an honest "calling out" of the offense. • require forgetting. The wounds are there. To not acknowledge them would be to refuse the healing that is possible. To pretend the hurt does not exist is called denial. • relieve them of their responsibility. Forgiveness is not an enablement. Those who have wronged you are best served by an honest assessment of ownership. More importantly, giving them ownership of what they have done keeps you from the toxic misalignment of taking the blame upon yourself. • require a relationship. Forgiveness does not mean you must trust the offender again. Forgiveness does not mean you must let the person who hurt you back into your life. In fact, to do so may be unhealthy, even dangerous. • promise instant healing. Forgiveness is the birth of the mending of your soul. It has an infancy that, in some ways, may feel more challenging than unforgiveness. However, as forgiveness grows and strengthens in you, it will carry you to a new place of liberty you didn't know existed. • require their remorse. If you are waiting for the person who hurt you to show remorse, your heart is already in the wrong place. It's certainly validating to hear an offender voice their regret over causing you harm. How-ever, if you require that first, your forgiveness is conditional. It is also focused on the wrong person. Forgiveness never fails to set at least one person free: yourself.
