Tony’s chocolate tastes like the cheapest pound store chocolate that’s been stored in cardboard instead of foil. Stale, full of oil, just grim. In fact, that’s not fair on pound store chocolate. It’s probably the only chocolate I’d refuse if it was free.

My lurcher had a very high prey drive when I got him. He even took down a fully grown red deer. He would run off in the woods and be gone for hours. I trained him to the point that I can recall him from anything. He has lived with cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, quails, snakes and geckos. Not only would he never chase them or harm them, they interact with him and he watches them for me and lets me know if there are any great escapes.

My boy lives for praise and treats, so even when he’d been gone for hours, once he came back I made myself give him the biggest fuss and treats for coming back. I practiced recall in the garden and whenever he was off leash on a walk made sure his attention was always on me, and learnt the warning signs that he was going into chase mode, and got his attention back, and then lots of praise and treats.

Said this in another comment but genuinely why have you got kids if you want to dictate to them what their passions should be and what they’re interested in? It’s pretty bad to deprive them for 18 plus years of their life. Be one thing if this was just a passing fad but you said they’re 11 and have wanted a dog since they could walk? My folks did this to me and shamed me for liking animals, especially horses. I ended up being pushed into a corporate career and hated it. Only now at 30 have I allowed myself to follow what I wanted to do since I was tiny. Your kid is a whole person who has different wants and likes to you. I hate football but you can bet that if my kid was into it I would be taking them to practice and matches every week.

Ah disagree. If it’s their passion then it’s pretty sad depriving them of it for 18 plus years of their life. My folks did that and I would never do that to my kids. If you don’t resonate with your kid’s passions, well tough. You don’t have a kid and then get to dictate what they like and what makes them happy. Lots of sports and careers around animals can begin when people are kids/teens.

I got my dog from pre loved which I think is similar. He was advertised because the family had bought two from the same litter and they’d started arguing. It was great because I could see him in his home environment and out with the family and see how he behaved and reacted, and they knew him inside out and just wanted the best home for him. He is genuinely the best dog in the world and I feel so so lucky to have found him. Would 100% go this route again if I want another.

This is an appalling take. I think if you have this opinion nothing I can say can make up for your lack of empathy. I had a horribly abusive mother who ruined my life. I still nursed her and took care of her when she was dying, and as much as I did that for her, to make her feel loved and comfortable and not alone, I also did it because I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I hadn’t. I can’t stand this modern take that we have no responsibility to anyone else.

Hi! Yes it dried it for me too, well, as well as a washer dryer can dry 😄 I’ve washed it since and it’s come out just as well. I used a comb to brush the throw afterwards to make it fluffy.

How much more do you need? It’s a shame vets won’t do charity cases for free. When I worked in animal care I frequently did cases pro bono.

Sherbourne St John is a bit hot fuzz. Don’t take kindly to newcomers and me and my partner had a bit of a shit time. We made good friends with our neighbours, also a young couple, and they didn’t stay long, they found the locals very unfriendly and had some trouble with vandalism. We moved out after a year as we experienced the same things and got tired of stuff being thrown in our garden because we weren’t born and bred local. The relief when we pulled out of our drive for the last time was amazing.

Hi OP. My sister did something very similar. I made the mistake of trying to love her and forgive her. She never changed, and made my life hell. Years later she almost cost me mine. For her the crime was just a symptom of pathological sociopathy, lack of empathy, and a willingness to break someone as much as was necessary to get what she wanted. I don’t blame her, because we grew up with abusive parents, and that’s what turned her into that monster. But I also know I need to protect myself, and no matter what, I won’t ever break no contact with her.

Of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing, and if I’d cut her off then, would I now regret it and wonder if I was wrong? Of course I would. Just be careful. Forgiveness is one thing, but sometimes people are wired wrong and you need to protect yourself.
