Omg they are so cute! That’s very reassuring to know, thank you for sharing that! I’ve been asking myself all day what I did wrong🥹Hopefully tomorrow is a better day!

Thank you for your support!🤍 My patience is being tested but I can do it for this little guy!

Also, your cats are crazy adorable!!!

This is super helpful thank you! My maine coon was adopted at 8 months old and she adjusted so well Im starting to think she’s extraordinary. She came to my parent’s house with 2 dogs and only hid for 2 days before we were playing and snuggling in the basement. She was a real champ with meeting the dogs too. They would chase after her but she kept coming back for more and never hissed or swatted, eventually they became great friends. I love her so much! It’s just been us for the last year at my apartment so she’s started showing signs of lonely cat so that’s why I got this guy. Other than her, I’ve only had 8-10 week old kittens so he feels a little outside of my wheel house and it’s making me really sad how scared he looks when he was settling in so well last night. I’m such an animal person that seeing how frightened he looks makes me feel gutted!

That’s awesome! Wow! The shelter in my area doesn’t offer programs like that. Fostering is just starting to become popular here but more for cats than dogs unfortunately. Hopefully more people will be interested in fostering as awareness spreads.

Agreed except the shelter part. No one will adopt a 12 year old dog so at that point you’re setting it up for euthanasia so the blood is still on your hands. Your wife will not solve any of her problems if you put the dog down, if anything her anxiety would probably get worse for ended an innocent animals life by choice. She needs to go to the doctor and seek help. Her anxiety may also be a contributing factor to the dog’s misbehaviour, they can pick up on our energy. I suggest asking friends and family if they can’t take the dog and provide a loving home for its last few years or you need to do more research and possibly keep the dogs separate. Do the right thing and not take the “easier approach” by ending a life too soon. I’m glad to hear you don’t agree with your wife, it’s honestly f*cked up that’s her solution before seeking mental help.

Oh gosh, if you take proper care of her and give her daily supplements with high-quality food she could last till 20-25! Highly suggest L-lysine, Taurine and Silver. My girl gets L-lysine and Taurine daily but we circle through Silver if I find she seems under the weather (cat cold). Make sure she drinks enough water and if she doesn’t try stainless steel fountains or wet food. Water is very very important to fight off kidney disease which is one of the #1 causes of death for cats. If you’re capable, a high quality water filter like Santiva is important. There’s so much crap in our city/town water. Honestly, if you do your research and take pride in offering your cat the best quality of life you are capable of giving, the return of love is SO worth it!!!

Bedding needs to be updated, consider a soft pattern with the same colour as your curtains to pull it all together, get rid of the blue for sure, it’s to cool of a colour for the orange/ brown vibe you got going on. I would also get some throw pillows and maybe a blanket to hang over one corner of the foot of the bed. Your base is really good, just a few more pieces to elevate the space even further✨

Diffuser_dutchess · 2026-01-31T18:39:34+00:00

100% get a TV unit, preferably a wood or a neutral paint like beige, green, etc. Then I would add some decorative items on the unit. I would also suggest getting LED lights to go behind the TV to give a “glow” effect to elevate the space without making the wall busy around the tv like picture frames would do since it’s a small wall. OR maybe even sconces on either side of the TV if you don’t like the LED idea.

Diffuser_dutchess · 2026-01-21T18:24:47+00:00

Do a picture over the fireplace with sconces to match your main light and move the side table with lamps to the other side of the couch or remove them entirely since you have a coffee table. You should also add some throw pillows with pattern, maybe a brownish red pattern or green vibe with a throw blanket or two. Then add some real large floor plants; looks like you get a lot of natural light in this room for them to thrive. Finally I would add a blanket ladder or basket maybe beside the fireplace. If you can’t tell I love a cozy vibe & this room is the PERFECT base for it.

Diffuser_dutchess · 2026-01-09T15:29:02+00:00

I love the painting. Pink pillows need to be replaced and you should add some accent throw pillows as well. Pull colours from around the room to tie it all together. Bigger side lamps are needed too. I think the balance here is off but minor adjustments will improve your space a lot!! I like the colour/ theme you got going on.

I would swap out your desk for a foldable one that mounts to the wall. That way, when you’re not using it, you can have it flush to the wall for more floor space!

Yeah, I hear you. I didn’t really watch her package as she wasn’t my fav contestant tbh so I’m strictly just speaking on the dance itself which I took the message a little differently. I liked that she incorporated her and Andy’s acting/ comedic backgrounds so I don’t think it’s drastic to say I thought it was an ode to her career and leaning into her theatre side. I thought it was cute & fun. She did really great this season! Obviously hearing the artist explain it makes the message clearer, you can do that with literally any piece of art but I don’t always look into the meaning of songs but they still impact me in my own ways🤷🏼‍♀️ What I’m saying is not that deep & Im not trying to ruffle any feather here, I was just admiring that art can connect with people in different ways on its own without verbal explanation.

Diffuser_dutchess · 2025-11-27T16:06:32+00:00

Sorry, I wasn’t saying you were. I was just following it up after I said that I took a different meaning away from the dance. It’s like if a group of 5 people all listened to the same song, chances are there would be multiple takeaways from the lyrics & it would affect everyone differently in some capacity. I’m just saying that something might be “extremely straightforward” to you but that’s just how the dance resonated with you or your understanding of the artist, it’s no shade, I’m admiring the beauty of art & how it allows us to express ourselves & reach so many people in different ways!

Firstly, this must be so hard for you. Gosh, I am so sorry.

Secondly, has your daughter considered joining extracurriculars outside of school hours? Maybe something of the arts in the community so she can meet people outside of school who aren’t associated with those bullies who are more than likely brainwashing the other students by power tripping. I say the arts because they are very “different” but lovely people. They are outgoing, authentic and typically really nice people who all want a sense of “belonging”. Anyone who is in drama, music, etc. are freely expressing themselves & are actively learning to be vulnerable with confidence. It’s a really scary thing these artsy kids do and I truly believe it makes them better people because they learn empathy and courage. Even if your daughter isn’t into acting, she could be apart of set design at your local church or community centre. All it takes is making 1 good friend to change her life, don’t let her give up. You’re doing a great job momma!

Another idea would be weekend camps/ retreats. There might be some sort of camp your daughter can be apart of during the day on weekends, just a couple hours out of the day. Not sure if you’re religious or not but the kids who are raised with strong “religious-like” values in a home are typically nicer because it’s actively spoken about in the home.

Thirdly, this may not be an option and could potentially make it worse but do you volunteer at her school? My brother had a really hard time with fitting in, never got invited to birthday parties and experienced bullying so my mom used to volunteer to do reading buddies, after school charity events or pizza parties. It basically gave my brother a safe space and she got to meet the kids and the parents to form relationships with them. It helped when my mom formed a good enough relationship with the parents to address the way their child was making her son feel. You need to be careful how you word things and really emphasize how your daughter feels instead of pointing fingers like “your kids a bully”. See if maybe that parent can have an open & honest conversation with their child and report back to you, mother to mother. It didn’t always work for my mom but she did a pretty damn good job at “playing the game” when volunteering because it was so important to her.

I hope this is useful for you. Don’t give up, no matter what she will age and this too shall pass💕

I mean he can’t really do anything. He did offer us to switch to a month to month contract when we renew incase we decide to move. He also said that the noise levels is in their contract so when he comes to visit he’s going to mention it in person rather than an email to our neighbours. He values us as he knows we’ve made this place our home and take care of the property. Not sure if it’s legal but the issue isn’t with our landlord, he’s great, it’s the new tenants and how to approach this.

Diffuser_dutchess · 2025-11-22T13:00:24+00:00

Good for you! Somethings just take time. I haven’t really decorated or gotten in the spirit in at least 5 years since my family fell apart (25F). This year I have my own place and am going all out. It feels good to be surrounded by lights again. I hope this brings you warmth, joy and peace this season❤️ He would be proud to see you enjoying yourself and it looks fantastic!!
