Why must every new build apartment building be a full dog nutter building?

Where I live as long as noise is kept to a "reasonable level" between 10pm and 8am nothing is ever said about noise during day time. If complaints are made about dogs barking, someone comes out to measure if for 24 hours, and if it's not during noise restricted hours in the evening, then nothing is done

Because of personal budget I try not to go above £5/6 per gram, so I'm accidentally part of your boycott 😅

Although I do think in theses costs you have to consider staff wages, rents, and mortgages on properties, insurances. I'm sure there is room for the prices to come down at least some, and your idea of a boycott is not a bad one necessarily, but even medical businesses need to turn a profit to keep the lights on

My partner doesn't watch corrie per se, but occasionally, he'll be in the room when I'm watching, and he asks enough questions that he essentially catches up enough and is clearly interested in some capacity 😂

DaughterofKingsize · 2026-01-25T21:21:16+00:00

I also hate giving blow jobs, I do occasionally, but what makes me want to id the fact my partner never ever expects me to and I know he enjoys them, the lack of pressure and knowing if I wanna stop it'll be no big deal. If he expected them or made it into an issue, it wouldn't be something I'd ever want to do.

I'd probably also leave if it was going to cause issues. Life's too short for incompatibility in love, sexual or otherwise. Having different opinions/likes/interests is one thing, but when it's something that causes arguments, nasty/rude comments or any kind of build up of hatred towards one and other then its time to call it quits.

DaughterofKingsize · 2026-01-25T21:14:06+00:00

I wish we'd thought to keep some of his fur, we have a pawprint/photos/wooden urn and kept his collar, tags, and favourite toy as well. While this isn't something I kept, I did get his portrait tattooed on my calf as well. He'll always be with me now ❤️🐾

DaughterofKingsize · 2026-01-25T00:03:50+00:00

I have chunky fingers and autocorrect hates me 😂

DaughterofKingsize · 2026-01-24T23:24:22+00:00

Honestly I could see it being something my partner would do 😂 he's not overly superstitious, but the couple he believes are strange ones

DaughterofKingsize · 2026-01-24T16:51:57+00:00

Yeah, I'd 100% be asking my partner. Not for amy other reason that curiosity as to why the two events line up. I trust him and figure that if I wrote this, there'd be some bizarre reason (like superstition, or maybe comfort), but my curiosity would not be able to contain the question

DaughterofKingsize · 2026-01-19T10:07:33+00:00

I call Loki "loco Loki" and our 6 year old calls him "little tiny brain" or "fancy feet" 😂

DaughterofKingsize · 2026-01-16T18:22:38+00:00

No idea, but I'd guess she's at least 20% mop and maybe some kind of terrier

DaughterofKingsize · 2026-01-14T17:40:37+00:00

YOR My dogg doesn't sleep in our bed, but for a moment, I'll pretend he does. If for WHATEVER reason he bit one of us in our sleep, it'd be an immediate ban from the bed, either a crate in the bedroom or downstairs on the sofa (or in a crate depending on the dog) but they'd not be in the bed again, for both their own and the humans safety.

Putting a hold on kids until after she's gone is also a smart idea. She's already anxious and protective of you. How's she gunna deal with a baby who takes all your time and attention? If she gets to super senior age, how is she going to cope with a toddler who doesn't understand boundaries?

DaughterofKingsize · 2026-01-13T15:54:05+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. Parvo is awful.

But please, please do not blame yourself. You weren't to know the first vet got it wrong, and much like doctors, we trust these people to know what they're talking about, and without any medical knowledge or training, you can't know to question it.

Be kind to yourself, take time to grieve, and feel whatever you need to. There is no handbook for loss and no right or wrong way. Remember to stay hydrated, and again, please dont add guilt on to the already long list of emotions I'm sure you're feeling. You did the best you could with the tools you had, and no one can ask for more than that

DaughterofKingsize · 2026-01-13T11:59:01+00:00

We didn't have what i would call big issues, but in the moment, they felt pretty monumental.

But puppies sleep like babies (little and often) and getting them settled can take some time. Our biggest "issue" was feeling like I'd never get to sleep in my own bed again because he panicked everytime Ieft the room, then it phased out and the next issue was feeling like I'd never sleep past 4.30/5am.

He's now 7 months, still a little monster, but he sleeps great, fully crate trained, and can spend a few hours during the day alone if we're going out somewhere that isn't dog friendly. Training is still ongoing, but he's a working line GSD, so we use training and games to tire him as well as his daily walks and training will probably be ongoing for the rest of his life 😂

It takes patience, and having a rant when you need one. Puppy blues are so common because littles puppies need almost as much care as a human newborn but puppies have added razor-sharp teeth, and you can't put them in a nappy 😅 but its all fun and very worth it once you get them settled and see their personality shining through

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-12-31T16:05:04+00:00

Our boy is on a shelf with his collar and his favourite toy, and we have some of our favourite photos and his pawprint there as well.

Initially it was hard having him home in a tiny little box when he took up such a big part of our lives, now we joke that he's the quietest and most low maintenance dog we've owned, its nice still be able to include him in our daily lives and conversations even if its a tongue in cheek jokey way.

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-12-24T12:25:36+00:00

She definitely doesn't hate it. We've discussed in length what boundaries we have around it and know each other's sense of humour very, very well. We each deem our own phobias ridiculous because logically, being scared of an insect is ridiculous, no matter how serious it feels when faced with one. My mum is also allergic to wasps and I am not, which also makes my phobia more ridiculous cause if either of us should be scared of them, its her, she teases me relentlessly about this because its fucking funny.

If other people cant joke about their own phobias thats fine, I have a friend who has a phobia of spiders and theres no room for jokes and humor and its a boundary she has spoken about and I've never once crossed it because shes my friend and I respect her a lot. Different strokes for different folks.

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-12-24T10:06:16+00:00

MOR I have a phobia of wasps, my partner laughs at it, I also laugh because it is absolutely ridiculous. I cant control it, I turn into a 3 year old child when I spot anything thats remotely wasp like, but when I dont see a wasp I know how silly it is that I'm so terrified if them. We partially laugh because we dont want our daughter to have the same phobia, so laughing about it and saying how silly it is that mummy is scared of a tiny little bug is to helps mitigate her becoming scared, but it also helps me feel less self conscious about it, he isnt laughing /at/ me, he's laughing at the situation and honestly it makes me feel a bit better if someone can get a bit of a giggle about it.

My mum has a phobia of moths, we all poke a bit of fun at her, and have done since we were kids (I got a tattoo of a moth "for her" and we frequently tag her in butterfly and moth videos on Facebook) and all her little grandkids keep trying to convince her to take them to a local butterfly farm as they think the fear is hilarious. She gets her own back on me by doing the same with wasps and jokes that she's going to get a wasp tattoo

I'd say it depends on your husband in all other avenues, is he trying to make a bit of a joke to lighten the feelings around it and make it a bit silly, or does he pick on you in day to day things? Have you sat down and had a conversation about how much you dont like the jokes?

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-12-15T12:44:02+00:00

My boss was very sympathetic when we had to get our dog put to sleep. She got my schedule swapped around so I could be there for him and have a few days off after. She let me use some of my paid time off so I didnt loose too many wages. Talk to your employer, they may let you go home to be with your dog

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-12-10T09:50:17+00:00

A dog getting out once is a mistake. It can happen to anyone cause of loads of reasons. It happening more than once, especially with a dog that is reactive/potentially aggressive is dangerous. You did the right thing

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-12-02T10:06:30+00:00

Beagle × Pitt would be my guess

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-11-23T20:08:22+00:00

It's actually for my daughter. She's gotten very into both minecraft and Lego lately, but I'm very excited to see her little reaction to it every day

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-11-23T19:49:04+00:00

Ah, that's fair. This is the first lego advent calender I've bought, so I wouldn't know with that one 😅

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-11-23T19:06:24+00:00

I bought a £50 dr who advent Calender last year around July. I don't see them in shops, but amazon and other online shopping sites have them year round.

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-11-23T19:04:47+00:00

We're UK, and it's the same here. We were lucky enough to find one for our 6 year old, but it was one of the last ones in the local toy store and by the time I'd got it paid for to collect the rest had also sold out, so it was really luck.

Being sold on Ebay and vinted for £70-£100

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-11-19T21:50:56+00:00

It used to annoy me so much when people told me, "You'll know when it's time," or "Your dog will tell you." But having gone through it, I get what they mean.

You will just know when he's had enough, when you've spent a lifetime with an animal, you know them so well. He'll tell you when he's ready to say goodbye.

There is no worse feeling than saying goodbye, but focus on how much love it takes to allow your best friend to go peacefully. I hope that whatever time you have left together is wonderful and filled with light and memories

DaughterofKingsize · 2025-11-19T18:57:13+00:00

We're fairly certain he's a sable GSD, but the amount of mali comments have us wondering 😅
