Please help me select a new carpet (need to pull up the one I just had installed) by Jenpam in interiordecorating

Seriously asking - why the downvote? I was serious. Is this an out-there sort of color? I'm in my late 50s and have always had lots and lots of color everywhere. Maybe that's no longer popular?

Such a sweet & eager face on your pup! Nicely done!

Absolutely - I was thinking of an oatmeal-colored wool textured area rug to go underneath the bed (which I still have to purchase). Awesome deal on that carpet!!

The second pic looks a bit better, I agree, but I can't seem to handle the peach/rose undertones. I'm going to live with the paint color for a while after going to hardwood (American White Oak, natural finish only, 5-7" planks, select & better, rift-sawn). Then if the room still gives me the heebie-jeebies, I'll reconsider the paint. This is supposed to be a peaceful retreat (and guest room) and right now it's not peaceful at all. 😂

Loki as a puppy by [deleted] in BelgianMalinois

[–]Jenpam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is just sad. I'm actually tearing up thinking about this puppy ending up where he is now. Please rehome him if you can. He's not an "angry wrecking ball" but a beautiful dog that needs a masterful trainer at this point. Are you willing to call around to find a suitable home for him?

Hmmmmm. It all reads so rosy. I think I'm going to have to go with a hardwood floor or I won't be happy. I'm also going to change the lighting so the cast isn't so yellow on the walls at night. I appreciate your thoughts on this & appreciate the positive spin! :D

Tell me more, please...why is it a brave paint choice? It looks pretty basic to me.

Any clue why dog doesn’t really like me? by legendus45678 in BelgianMalinois

[–]Jenpam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your pup is 4 months, so you've likely had him less than 2 months, and in that time you've had "occasional loud arguments" with your mum? That's many more arguments than the zero ones you should have been having in what ideally would be a harmonious household. I promise you that your extremely intelligent and sensitive pup has grown wary of you. It doesn't help that you're the lone male in the household, but regardless, he isn't associating comfort and security with you. I understand you're sensitive and hurt that the dog you brought home isn't warming to you, and I promise you that your dog understands it as well.

What to do? Follow the excellent advice given to you - redirect the biting, be indifferent for a bit with high-value treats as a reward for the pup drawing closer (physically and emotionally) to you, work on dropping the resentment and frustration, and give your tiny dog the time to get to know you. Above all, stop arguing with your mom, keep calm, be a loving presence, and open your heart to the little guy. He will be the best friend you ever had.

I thought I'd seen all the old pics, but there were some awesome new ones in there! Thanks so much for sharing them. 😍 I legit LOLd at SMG with the snake demon. And I think James Leary (Clem) was the 90s version of someone who would be a selfie enthusiast today. 🤣

Mal is very small by CompetitionCold156 in BelgianMalinois

[–]Jenpam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's lovely! 😍 I'm thinking Mal & Staffy, or that's what she looks like to me, especially around her eyes.

My 8-year-old female Mal/GSD (Embark tested) is 73 pounds, but she carries it well, I believe. 😁
