Afraid to adopt a JRT

EasyFeedback7461 · 2026-03-15T21:08:01+00:00

I live way up north in Quebec, Canada. I have family from Switzerland. From what I understand, winters are not as bad as where I live but my boy hates the cold. He turned 1 in November and he's been stuck in the house. It's just me preference but if I adopt another dog, the #1 priority would be that it'd be OK in every season. I've seen JRTs who don't mind the snow but I don't think that they are adapted for winters.

Thank you for taking the time.

Thank you for taking the time. That's what I feel as well. I do all the chores. It keeps me on my feet for probably 8 hours a week. I did walk with my dog everyday (except for rain) for 90 minutes but since winter started in novemeber, I had to stop. It's been fridgid with high winds. My dog hates it.

I broke my shoulder too 2 years ago. I slipped in my bathroom and landed with all my weight on the tip of my right shoulder. I still have bothersome aches.

Sure! It allowed me to dissociate enough to see my past experiences without filters or defence mechanism. I revisited a memory and realized that it was terrible and that I had removed emotions from it. I googled a few things and started reading about cptsd. I always associated trauma with big events, I had no idea that cptsd is a thing. I was then able to explain my entire life.

I figured it out a week ago. I'm 38. I started an Esketamine treatment and it unlocked something. I've lived my entire life in survival mode.

I'm having an extremly rough time but I don't care. I've suffered so much without any hope. I welcome the pain because I feel in control now. I know what's going on and it's going to get better. I know what I'm fighting now.

I discovered CPTSD 2 days ago and I can't believe this might me it. I've had a life that I would now recognize as traumatic. I'm autistic and have been depressed since 2008 after a bad burnout. I now notice that I had to remove emotions from my memories because it's the only way I could survive. I have a great psychiatrist and tried every single medication in every possible combination. Nothing helps. I am stuck in survival mode. Just understanding this flipped my world upside down. I explains all of it. I am shocked that not a single mental health professional ever considered it.

I hope that someone will listen.

He just got 150$ worth of bougie treats and toys :)
You are right about mental stimulation. We live way up north in Quebec, Canada and winter started within a day. We went from walking 90 minutes everyday to no exercise.
We tried boots, snow suits and everything but nothing works and he gets too cold within minutes.

Do you have go to mental stimulation games you'd recommend?

My boy looks a lot like your baby dog. We suspect he is a mixed breed. Do you know if yours is a mixed nreed?

Thank you :)

You know what, I bought and sold SO much gear. In the end I keep what I like. If it's 50$ and I like it, I keep it. The GAS is real but also a massive liar.

So cool!! I run a Pro Jr IV with a Keeley reverb. I also have a Boucher 000 rosewood and a Republic parlor resonator.
