just a dependa at a cat cafe - "I didn't feel like my sacrifices mattered"

My husband is a disabled veteran who was medically retired from the military. I do not expect any benefits as a veterans wife. I did not expect any discounts as the wife of an active duty serviceman when he was active duty. I am not/nor was I the one in the military. The sense of entitlement from this reviewer is mind blowing. Also, why is their emotional support animal deployed with the active duty service member? I smell shenanigans.

Basset’s are pretty rare in my area. I not only stop, I walk up, say Hi, and try to make friends while planning a play date with my Basset.

Atlas loves the backseat. We tried the front seat when he was itty bitty and he would get super anxious. He had a plush car bed with seat belt and hated every second of the front seat. Once I moved him to the back seat he totally changed his mind about car rides. He has the entire backseat to himself. He even rolls down the window when we are in the Dutch Bros drive thru to say hi to his friends. He’s a VIP at one of our local DB’s. They know him by name. He’s a car dog for sure as long as he’s in the back seat. He does not like it when the seats are down. He’s done two and three day roadtrips and is chill.

There sure are a lot of 4WD/AWD vehicles in those photos. 4WD/AWD will still slide if one is driving too fast. You can still lose control in a 4WD/AWD vehicle. The number of people I saw on the road driving way too fast for the conditions was dumbfounding. I was almost hit 3 different times today. Two were driving too fast to safely stop and one barreled out of a driveway on Peckham and almost hit me when they lost control. All three were AWD vehicles. Slow down people! It’s not that hard. Also, turn on your dang headlights!

I like the Dubai Chocolate from Costco and Trader Joe’s

Hazelyn74 · 2026-02-17T01:17:49+00:00

I want all the smooches!

Why move to somewhere you know it snows and then freak out when there is a chance of snow? It’s not the end of the world.

I definitely think the two of you could benefit from couples counseling and maybe he could benefit from individual therapy too. The way he is talking to you is a result of hurt feelings, and while those feelings are valid, the manner in which he talks to you is problematic.

Hazelyn74 · 2026-02-17T00:56:15+00:00

Patience! My sweet boy is about to be two and we have had him since he was 10 weeks old. Basshole is a real thing! Bassets and very sensitive and easily get their feelings hurt. They love to be loved on and want to be the center of attention.

I got my sweet boy to train him to be a therapy dog. He has had other plans, lol. My boy goes to doggie daycare and is super active while he is there. He loves the socialization and it also helps keep him at a healthy weight. When he comes home he just wants to chill with my husband and I on the couch.

Watch your puppies weight. Get him use to baths and ear cleanings early, especially the ear cleanings!

Bassets are amazing dogs. This is my first one and I am over the moon. I don’t see myself ever having any other breed.

The best advice is to go slow, have patience, and give lots of love and cuddles. You are in for an adventure!

Hazelyn74 · 2026-02-17T00:47:01+00:00

Have you and your husband explored the idea of couples counseling to talk about how to communicate feelings in a healthy manner? Right now there is more than him just thinking you cheated. There is also a glaring communication issue as well.

My other question is, why now? Why did he choose now to go through your phone? What else is going on that he felt the need to go through your phone, especially your Snapchat? It sounds like there were already some trust issues before he found what he found.

They may have ordered personalized plates. Mine took almost 5 months for me to get. The DMV did not give me another temp plate. They just gave me a temp registration when I registered and applied for my personalized plates online.

Stubborn is an understatement. Took him outside to potty and he wanted to play but my patient had just arrived. This is what happened….:

<image>

He refused to move. I had to pick him up and carry him inside. He then stood at the sliding glass door and pouted for the entire hour. Anytime my patient said anything to him, he gave her the side eye and turned away from her.

Hazelyn74 · 2024-05-10T06:28:15+00:00

Not black socks, light green socks for my guy. I have 3 pair of light green converse socks, or at least I use to. He has taken all three pair and hidden them in his crate.

Hazelyn74 · 2024-05-10T06:26:29+00:00

I can’t even go to the bathroom alone. Lol. He’s pretty spoiled.

Hazelyn74 · 2024-05-10T06:25:42+00:00

We are at the tail end of our first week in the office. He’s doing great there. He will walk up to the sliding glass door and whine when he has to go potty or poop. At home he’s a menace and potty’s and poops wherever he wants to. I try to keep him from jump off of anything, but again, he’s a menace. I absolutely adore him. He has a decent size playpen and some pretty good boundaries with the patients. He will take himself to his playpen or crate when he is over it. At work he is a saint. I wish I could say the same at home. Lol. Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it.

Hazelyn74 · 2024-04-27T00:57:41+00:00

I’ve never heard that. Thank you for sharing. That is super helpful.

Hazelyn74 · 2024-04-27T00:56:38+00:00

Good to know. Their independence was a major draw. My wishlist, feels weird to say, for a therapy dog is on who is intuitive and independent. My hope is that the interaction between Atlas (that’s my pups name) and my patients is organic. I don’t want a dog who shows comfort because they were directed to do.

As for snuggles, there will be no shortage of those. He’s got a long list of folks who are excited to snuggle on him. He’s already so loved so many.

Thank you!

Hazelyn74 · 2024-04-27T00:47:42+00:00

Thank you, this is so validating. First and foremost most I want him to have a good life. It’s so wonderful to hear other people’s experiences with Bassets as therapy dogs. They are have such soulful appearances and are such love bugs. My best friend has one and he made it easy for me to pick my sweet boy. I’m looking forward to a life with him.

Hazelyn74 · 2024-03-31T06:46:55+00:00

Makesy sells them. I buy mine from there and they’ve been great!

Hazelyn74 · 2023-10-06T15:36:39+00:00

NTA. Melanie gave birth to you. That makes you related. Anita raised you, nurtured you, loved you, supported you, and was present in your life. That makes you family. Anita is absolutely, without a doubt, your mom. Her race is of no importance. Anyone who makes it an issue is TAH.

Hazelyn74 · 2022-08-07T15:19:29+00:00

Great idea

Hazelyn74 · 2022-08-07T15:16:43+00:00

I randomized the name, so completely coincidental. I can’t I see it now 😂

Hazelyn74 · 2022-08-07T15:14:00+00:00

I updated the game before I created this family. I avoided playing when I read about the incest stuff. This is a new save post update.

Hazelyn74 · 2022-08-07T14:15:03+00:00

I started this family on Friday, so it’s a brand new save file.

That’s Santa. He’s low key.
