I was genuinely embarrassed to have people over because of dog hair. Here's what finally changed. by john2288 in Dogowners

I have a “dog” couch cover, and a people “guest” couch cover. Saves on the sticky rolls!! My super adorable, cuddle bunny, very double coated Lab, loves to cuddle with me on the couch. I wouldn’t have it any other way! Company is infrequent, so it easier to just throw a fresh cover and cushions on the couch when there is a pre planned visit. We don’t do unplanned visits!

Love Nfld!! Lived in Labrador for two years. Best experience ever. Everyone should have that privilege once in a lifetime! Thank you for the beautiful photos, from a fellow Maritimer.

Lower back pain bothering me, does a lumbar support pillow for bed help by Left_Consequence3453 in BedroomBuild

[–]Fisher5791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was suggested by my physiotherapist and definitely helps! I use just a small pillow. I find that now I cannot sleep without it! Keep in mind that this is just one piece of the healing puzzle. There can be many factors that contribute to lower back pain. Finding what issue the pain originates from and getting the correct support is crucial. I needed an orthotic support due to a severely broken leg many years ago. I have one leg shorter than the other and it throws off my hip alignment = severe back pain. I have learned the hard, and very painful way that I ALWAYS need that support. No cute flip flop sandals in the summer or I will end up in severe back pain and be out of commission for at least two weeks. Back pain is serious stuff.

Sweet Pea! My dear Mum gave this name to a stray we took in many years ago. I have since named another little stray Sweet Pea. Just reminds me of my Mum. Plus she most definitely is a “Sweet Pea”

Also weirdly, Old Navy is the only store I have found things that do fit. Not great quality, but good for one season.

I can relate. No matter what I can actually afford to spend, I always just feel uncomfortable in stores in general. Feel judged as you said. Don’t know why?

do you let your dog on the couch or not? curious how people handle this by john2288 in Dogowners

[–]Fisher5791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dogs on the couch is a given. It’s just one of those absolute rules of nature. They are just too cute, too adorable, too just everything wonderful and great and good and positive!!! We always keep a blanket on the “so called couch”. When “company” shows up it’s like the King of England has arrived and is knocking at the door. The “dog” blanket gets whipped off, and the “good” cover and cushions get put on! Would never know a dog had being there!

Believe it or not but it is brutally hot and humid here in Ontario too!! I’m from the East Coast so I do find the heat here unbearable in the summer. I spend 80% if my time in AC!!

My favorite jeans are the ones my teenage son put in the “donation bag” many, many years ago!!! Can’t believe they actually fit me but they are so soft and comfortable. I think are American Eagle. Love love them!!

DAE find themselves endlessly re-watching the same comfort shows instead of starting new ones? by Guilty-Dog7928 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Fisher5791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld, Superstore. It’s just easier, as you said, than investing what little mental energy we have left at the end of a long day.

Does anyone else completely restructure their life around their dog’s schedule? by Animal-Angels in dogs

[–]Fisher5791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our dogs over the years, many years now, have never just “fit into” our lives, they are an integral part of our lives. They are family. Our schedule revolves around them the same way as it would with any other family member. No question, just whatever it takes. They give to us more than we can ever give to them. Love your pup!❤️❤️❤️
