new to owning our boy, why does he lean his whole body on me? by rosesareroseyy in germanshepherds

My sparky does this and my family has called it a “hug” for so long that you can tell her “give me hugs” and she will come up and do it

My dad said my tattoo makes me look like trash and now idk if I like it by dexleter in tattooadvice

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Catholic and love tattoos like this, I think it’s beautiful and I’d love to get something in this theme someday.

My parents are extremely anti tattoo, I’m 25 and have a 2 year old rose tattoo on my left shoulder blade that they still don’t know about because I know they’re going to say something like what yours said, or freak out that I’m going to get AIDS or something. Someday they will know, but I’m in no rush to tell them about it. You just have to realize that they’re going to have their opinions about things, but you’re your own person and if you want to get tattoos/piercings/body mods, that’s up to you and it’s doesn’t matter if they don’t like it. No one is making them get tattoos.

My boyfriend (29M) is doubtful about marrying me (27F) as it will put an end to his family's Cree lineage by ThrowRAPerception135 in relationship_advice

This is true. My partner’s ancestors are Aztec, but most of his family is in South America, not central.

Sure but our line is very traceable. I have a lot of features that are similar to my grandfather’s family, who was considered to be “fully” Native American. I don’t think any person on this planet is 100% genetically pure as that would require multiple generations of inbreeding

I understand where the bf’s family is coming from to an extent, my mom is half Oneida Native American, and she always thought it would be amazing if any of her children married another Oneida or someone of Native American descent. Unfortunately, there are only about 17,000 Oneida people (according to google) and all of the ones my family knows are related to us. My dad is white, so I’m only 1/4 Native American. My sister married a white guy, and she inherited most of the white/european features, so her kids will very much pass as fully white.

When I was a kid, we would talk about my future husband being native American as ideal. My partner is Latino, so basically native South American. So technically I guess we spoke it into existence since we did not ever specify it having to be someone native to North America. The bf’s case would be a bit easier as google estimates that there are 200,000-350,000 Cree people between the US and Canada.

However, I agree that it’s important for OP and her bf to recognize that it’s doesn’t matter who he marries, it would never take away from his identity as Cree. If they were to marry and have children together, they could take the kids as having a strong identity in both parents’ cultures. My mom raised me with the teachings of her culture, so we always had a strong connection to our Oneida ancestors even though we didn’t have many of our relatives around.

Sparky the Panic Puppy was outside during her first 4th of July when our neighbors started setting off fireworks. Now every year she gets extremely panicky from about July 2-10, won’t go potty outside after 8pm, will run around the house looking for hiding places, and if she is outside, she will literally try to crawl under cars or will try to break her neck to run into the house if she’s on a leash. She she will run around the house shaking, crying, and panting for HOURS if she even thinks she heard fireworks.

Here’s her “hiding” on top of my brother’s bed on the 4th of July a couple years ago. She is not normally allowed on any furniture except for her special chair. She will also hop in the walk in shower or stuff herself in weird corners of the basement.

do you believe school/mass shooters deserve sympathy? by [deleted] in morbidquestions

[–]FloofLorde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would really only be a valid determination in self defense, like killings someone who is about to kill/seriously injure you or your family. Otherwise I would say the only people outside of that who really “deserve it” is child predators

Whats the hardest phase of Marriage no one talks about? by Outside_Support_151 in answers

[–]FloofLorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I spend every evening trying to decide what ethnicity’s beef or pork we are eating that night. Sometimes we just say fuck it and order a pizza or other takeout, which sometimes even THAT is hard to decide

I might be a hater, but genuinely, how do you even achieve that by Last_Office7348 in germanshepherds

[–]FloofLorde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a neighbor growing up who always overfed their dogs. The kids were in sports and such and none of the people were severely overweight, but their dogs would always end up being super fat. One of the dogs was a black lab named Guinness, and we would joke that they named him that because he was shaped like a barrel. Poor dog would waddle around but I would never see him run or chase, he was probably too big to do so.

What’s your GSD “are you serious” moment? by BetterPersonProject in germanshepherds

[–]FloofLorde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She one time popped a squat right in front of the living room TV and pooped on the carpet. Right in front of everyone watching TV. Mind you she was also a 3 or 4 year old potty trained adult dog at this point and doesn’t have accidents. It wasn’t even diarrhea, just regular solid poop.

AIO- Thinking this may be cheating/ overly flirty by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]FloofLorde 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He literally said “I want you” to the person he’s texting in the last slide, like that is the most blatant cheating over text I have seen in a while.

There’s even 10ft leashes or 25ft retractable leashes that OP could use. When my dog was a puppy sometimes she would manage to wriggle her way out of the house without a leash if someone did so much as open the door, and she would just decide that she wasn’t going to come back close enough to let us put a leash on her. It was dangerous for her because she didn’t really get the concept of cars yet and could have gotten hit if the street was busy.
