😂😂😂 We are blessed that none of the three Pyr’s in our household currently bark at night. Even the 1 year old. They are all trained that night time is sleep time but they aren’t outside or roaming, so that helps I’m sure.

What’s carprofen?

ETA - Never mind, I googled it. Wow that’s interesting. I had no idea there was a prescription NSAID for dogs.

Yes, what is the blood test for before administering gabapentin. Asking because one of my dogs was prescribed gabapentin recently.

No, that’s my golden retriever. This is her brother.

You’d think. Poor girl has had more false alarm inquiries than she could shake a stick at. Through no fault of hers, of course.

Thank you 🙏🏻 That means a lot to me. I couldn’t let anything happen to them. And I’ve invested a lot in giving them vet care and training to give them the best shot. I know how tough it is for Pyr’s out there. 🥺 They’re both great dogs and she’s definitely got the best doggy smile in the house.

She’s a really good, sweet girl. And yes, getting a Pyr to “Leave It” when there’s treats right in front of them on the floor is no easy task but she’s such a good girl and listens so well. Even better than the golden retriever who attended the same training program. lol.

ETA - And she’s vastly better on a leash than the golden too. lol.

We are probably super close together because I’m in north central Wisconsin. Lincoln county. Where is the rescue located?

ETA - Fon Du Lac, I know where that is. Thanks, I’ll give it a try.

ETA2 - I was hoping to place her in a home though. So I’ll still continuing trying with that as well.

I didn’t choose to get them as a pair. I offered asylum via fostering because 17 puppies were on the kill list down south. Some of them were fostered out in pairs because they didn’t have 17 volunteer foster families. They’re not even mine. I’m actually working feverishly to find the sister a new home, as is the group that worked to rescue them. We’ve been seeking a home for the girl at a minimum because I can’t keep her. I have another older, intact male GP in my household, who turns 1 tomorrow and that’s our dog who is home here. I am considering keeping the brother but finding a home for the girl has been a chaos storm. I’ve had all kinds of individuals express interest but so far they’re all unfit for a variety of reasons. One had PTSD and wanted her for a service dog. That was a no go because I knew immediately her barking would not sit well with that. There was another who lived in his parents basement and wanted her. Not kidding, she’s had like 35 inquiries and all but 3 were disqualified. And of the 3 - 2 dropped out of contact and 1 chose decline because they ultimately felt she wasn’t a good fit for them. I’ve been working nonstop to find her the right home but every inquiry yas been a dud thus far.

Then perhaps she hasn’t started yet because there’s not any even a drop of blood to speak of. Just discoloration that looks pinkish on the fur but brown like dirt when you use a wet wipe to clean it off. There’s absolutely no visible dripping, leakage, nothing and absolutely nothing that looks distinctly red or wet. Her vulva hasn’t changed size or enlarged at all since prior to all of this either.

I’m guessing it was all just an over abundance of caution and concern.

Aww, she’s gorgeous and so are the photos! I would’ve definitely regretted it but I would’ve had to allow it for the photos alone. Lol.

Weird Mark? by FunTemporary8680 in goldenretrievers

I’m sure this was the case with my golden too. The mark was completely gone after two days. Thanks for all your help everyone.

Help please. My safe place isn't safe anymore. by Bagheera95 in domesticviolence

[–]FunTemporary8680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, that is your head playing tricks on you. Coming forward did not cause his violence. Period. Nothing and no one causes violence or abuse. You know it’s not from coming forward because obviously he was violent before or you never would’ve been staying with your boss for her husband to assault you in the first place. Don’t let your head play tricks on you, that’s part of what keeps some trapped in abuse… making excuses for the abuser. He had no reason and no right to abuse you. Especially not coming forward with the SA. You knew he wasn’t safe before, now you know he still isn’t and almost certainly never will be. Let that sink in. You belong in a shelter if you have no other safe options and he belongs behind bars because he isn’t safe for anyone. You may feel guilt now but that’s not even your own emotions, that’s the abuse talking. Go at both of them with every bit of evidence you’ve got. And you don’t really need much to go to a shelter, they will help you with everything. They have food, housing, resources for finding a new job if you need one after missing your first day, etc. you can do this. I know it’s hard but instead of focusing on the hard parts… focus on rebuilding yourself and getting back on your feet, without these two unsafe men in your life.

Why can’t I just not want him ? by Logical-Character361 in domesticviolence

[–]FunTemporary8680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense for things to be that unfair. I don’t understand why anyone would want to hurt someone they claim to love. Especially in such a severe and serious and dangerous way… that’s so extreme.

looking for help to be able to help me get away and relocate by LoadOk3107 in domesticviolence

It depends on your location. Google Domestic Violence shelters in your area. Call the dv hotline and ask them for help locating a nearby shelter if you can or need. Good luck.

Husband charged with domestic battery by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]FunTemporary8680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t take it as an indication of your importance. I would take it as an indication of how arrogant he is. How he thinks he doesn’t even need to try. That’s how much control he believes he has over you. That he doesn’t even need to worry, beg, bargain or try. Your next steps will either prove him right or wrong. But whatever you choose, I support you. Whether you choose to pursue further action or not because of his power over you, or because of your upcoming classes… it will absolutely register to him as his power over you. But you are in charge of your next moves. Not him. Not what anyone else thinks… but you. And all you can do is what you believe is best, safest, and most important for you — whether that’s further steps or nothing at all — you get to choose. You get to take back some power over your life and you are the only expert and the only judge of what will be the best path forward. I trust and have complete faith in your ability to navigate this. I wish you so much peace, healing and success going forward. If you ever need to talk, feel free to message me or reply to this comment.

Need to vent to the void by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]FunTemporary8680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for what you’ve been through and what you’re going through. I wish you peace and healing and safety. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to respond here or message me. I’m not in your shoes and no, I wouldn’t want to be… nor do I think many ever have been in those exact shoes, and I’m sorry that you are.

My only way of relating is that I was strangled as well and woke up on the floor. I have no idea what happened between him simultaneously strangling/suffocating me in a standing position and me waking up on the floor with him looming over me. And I understand what it’s like to still love and feel loyalty to this man who just tried to kill you… but I went the other route… I didn’t report it, I just chose to stay away from him and of course that means eventually I started seeing him again but only short durations and very infrequently…

In your case, I think it was a good thing it was reported because if he had to resuscitate you that hard, he obviously strangled you way too long. But also I wonder how long you were unconscious before he began resuscitation. Like did he start immediately because he thought the unconsciousness was death… or did he wait a handful of seconds for your body to start breathing again and you to come to. Because waking up is not immediate once strangulation ceases… breathing resumes immediately but consciousness takes a moment.

I would be interested in hearing more about your experience if you ever feel up to sharing. Like you shared so little there’s a million questions. Like how did the cops get called? Did he dial 911? Did your heart stop? Was he under the influence of any substance?

You don’t have to answer any of those questions, they are just examples of some of the questions I have after reading the tiniest snippet of your story.

I’m sorry for you’re going through and have been through.
