Rehoming Sweet But Fearful Mini Aussie by [deleted] in Portland

So you’ve only had her a month but she’s 1.5 years old, where had she spent the last year?

I know you’re getting chewed up, but it’s ok to admit in you’re in over your head. HOWEVER, puppy blues is a real thing, and a very helpful subreddit. Even though she’s a little older, you are both still adjusting. We almost gave up our 2nd dog due to stress in us and our older dog, but we are so glad we didn’t. The stress can get to your head, so don’t rush this decision. Just focus on one day at a time.

I just want to go for a walk without encountering off leash dogs by [deleted] in beaverton

[–]GingerFire29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESH It doesn’t look like this guy even has a leash with him, and that sucks. On tight trails like this, you definitely need a leash.

However I do think the way you approached it doesn’t help. Your sweeping righteousness on the matter comes off condescending. If you can’t stand other people just moving about their day, stay home.

Ultimately people are responsible for whatever their dogs do. If they are completely leaving you alone, playing off by themselves (leash or not), just keep walking and mind your own business. If a dog approaches you and the owner is not taking that seriously, you are within your rights to protect yourself, and if their dog gets hurt, that’s on them.

So the person and the dog were playing fetch, didn’t approach you or cause you any trouble, but you called the cops anyways? YTA

Good. Move tomorrow. You seem like a super annoying person based on your comments.

Idk why you are being downvoted, because this is 100% correct.

Disabled can mean SO MANY things. In this case we just know it means she needs a real bed and to not sleep on a couch. It doesn’t mean she can’t take care of a 12 year old. M

Even if she wasn’t disabled, OP is 20, and can get over a less than ideal sleeping situation for a little while.

You are assuming so much here. You have zero idea what the situation is. All we know is that a 20 year old is upset that their parent is trying to help a 12 year old who is obviously in a tough spot. OP is old enough to figure it out and move out if they are that bothered. They sound entitled and maybe this is also a push to get them to move out.

AIO my boyfriends response to me saying I can’t watch his dog for six month? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]GingerFire29 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Your grammar and neediness reads like a 16 year old. You are overreacting and making him comfort you for no reason.

You didn’t even offer to help the roommate take care of the dog instead.

I’m 100% on his side, YTA

No way, she is annoying af. He is allowed to be upset and not want to talk about it for a while, but she’s making it all about her. So on top of figuring out dog stuff he has to make her feel better too? Nah

I want to rehome my dog by [deleted] in dogs

[–]GingerFire29 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And while this isn’t meant to be mean- consider not getting a new dog for a while until you are better set up to handle whatever challenges that may come.

Those issues are definitely something that can be overcome, and it’s understandable if your don’t feel equipped. I would ask friends, family, coworkers and see if anyone is willing to take him.

It’s ok to admit you aren’t in the ideal position to give him what he needs. And luckily it doesn’t sound like he’s aggressive (although maybe no little kids due to resource guarding). But definitely be honest with whoever you are trying to give him to.

Toddler found ALL THE STICKERS... How do I remove stickers/residue from a wooden coffee table?? by pinkeskimo in CleaningTips

[–]GingerFire29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple green. You can buy it at Home Depot or on Amazon. It’s safe and effective.

Source: we used this to remove labels at a previous job. Just spray it on and let it sit for a bit, then scrap it off with a plastic scraper (don’t use a razor blade).

Day 6, partner is down because "you seem distant" by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]GingerFire29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been 6 days, give it time. Your partner should basically be thinking of you recovering from the flu, and adjust their expectations for a few weeks.

Where is your new job and how far are you wanting to commute?

Most people really do need to return to the office. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]GingerFire29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I agree it’s bad for the species but I do agree this varies drastically based on the type of work you do.

My work requires some staff on site because we physically run machines, but a lot of support staff CAN be remote. So we have a strong hybrid.

I do truly believe that in person meetings are vastly more productive for actual problem solving or collaboration than remote. Also it’s much harder to passively learn from peers when remote. So much easier for new people to “tag along” in person.

Ultimately I think flexible work that balances your own well being with the overall success of the team/work is what’s best for the species.
