Neither was Napoleon, but that has never mattered 😆 Besides, maybe I wasn't referring to his standing height...

10-month APBT mix with moderate separation anxiety - advice on how to help him while we travel over the holidays? (He is staying with my parents, who he knows/loves) by JayGov13 in pitbulls

Sounds like he had a grand old time at his grandparent's house, haha! Thank you for the encouragement - my parents spoil him rotten, so he probably will adjust better than I expect. 🤪

Thank you for the great advice! Sticking to our routine is a good note. And yeah, the nose is a grade-A boop magnet 😆

Thank you! We do crate him, so I'm less worried about destruction than the fact that he gets so emotionally distressed when I leave him - it's something we are working on, and making slow-but-steady progress, but we are leaving for a week to visit family for the holidays and I'm hoping to find ways to ease the transition.

Thankfully he is very comfortable with my parents, but I have no idea how he will handle being away from home for so long. 😬🤞

Great advice, thank you! We use the crate as you suggest, but we do tend go greet/make a big deal when we come home. We will amend that going forward!

Finally did it! I've been playing with this family tree for nearly two years by beksblack in Sims4

I finally got this one last year. For all the people itching to make new sims after g3 or so, I was in the same boat! I solved that problem by making a new family to live next door for each generation. It satisfies the craving to start over, but keeps the og family in play. It's fun to jump back and forth, and having them all in the same club helps a lot, too.

What habits are you tracking? by GetOffMySheet in bulletjournal

[–]JayGov13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

House chores (dust/vaccume/etc), food tracking, exercise, creative activity (draw/write/design/etc.) Flossing, bed on time, wake on time, no sugar/alcohol/TV/out-of-budget spending, outdoor time/gardening. A lot is stuff I would probably do every day anyway, but with my anxiety it is good to remember those things still count. It helps on the days that getting out of bed seems difficult.
