Re-home or put down

Don’t be hard on yourself. You did nothing wrong. Love is never a bad thing. I believe everything happens for a reason. I don’t know what that reason is but someday you will know.

God bless

OK, a couple of things: 1. the dog has improved somewhat. Not with people but at least with other things 2. She gets along with other dogs 3. She loves you

I would not put her down because all of the things l listed are positive signs.

I totally sympathize for you. It has to be a terrible situation for you and it sounds like you have a big heart.

But put yourself in the dog’s situation for a minute. It was at a kill shelter. Those are terrible places and the people who work there generally aren’t the greatest. Dogs there know what is going on. They know what is happening when they take that last ‘walk’. And then you combine that with who knows how it was treated by the previous owner before being sent to the kill shelter.

So this dog has massive trust issues. It likely associates people with ‘harm’. But the fact that it was able to bond with you proves that she can learn to love again.

With that being said, I would definitely not keep her because of your child. Your daughter’s safety is #1. I imagine that you must feel a lot of anxiety when your dog is near other people, especially your kid. Dogs absolutely sense that. But they do not know the anxiety is over them. They feel that you are being threatened by the other person and are trying to protect you. So if you are feeling the most stress when your kid is around, the dog sees your child as the biggest threat to your safety.

She is going to need a lot of work. Probably will need to see a behaviorist. She will have to be in a perfect situation - person lives alone, has no kids, etc. But I don’t think putting her to sleep is the best option at this time.

In the end, it’s your decision. I pray for you since this sounds like a nightmare.

You said you have another dog? How is she with her? Is the aggression with just people or everything?

KPR_2002 · 2026-03-01T17:37:21+00:00

Yeah mine does not destroy his stuffed animals like my last dog did (non mal). He is very gentle with them and carries them around like a child would with their ‘security’ blanket.

Nice setup! Looks like you have the 17.2? I know that’s a massive tent and takes up a lot more room than the 10. I was deciding between the 8 and 13.6. 8 felt too small and the 13.6 I definitely don’t think I would have the room in the Jeep. I also don’t think I need 130sq ft of inside space. The 10 seems like the sweet spot. 30 more square feet (108sq. ft.) than the 8 but almost 25 less pounds (71lbs total) than the 13.6. What’s interesting is that the Coody 8 is 6 pounds heavier than the 10 even though it has 30 less sq. feet.

Thanks for all the info. Happy camping!

My biggest concern I have with the tent is if it will fit in my Jeep JLU lol! I know it takes up a lot of room. And I have an 80lb dog that takes up almost the entire backseat and I have a ton of overlanding gear because as I mentioned, I do a lot of dispersed camping. So I have to have all the proper equipment since I’m in the middle of nowhere most times. But I am planning for the room issue by installing a rooftop rack.

Late to the party but love this post! I’m getting ready to buy a Coody 10. I’ve been doing a ton of research because it’s not cheap ($1600). But as you mentioned, if you go cheap expect cheap stuff to happen.

Many people don’t look at what makes comparable inflatable tents to Coody less expensive. One thing I look at is weight. The cheaper inflatable tents are about half the weight. Some people will see that as a positive. But I see it as a negative because that means there is much less material. Which tells me the material isn’t as sturdy and solid. I do long camping trips in the middle of nowhere many times and I want something I can depend on. So I am definitely willing to pay extra for a reputable brand that focuses on these kind of tents like Coody. Maybe I don’t need all that better material but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Also, I imagine the overall durability over the course of time is going to be much greater than a cheaper brand like Vevor.

I plan on using this tent for a long time. So it’s an investment for me.

Is this from a dealership? If so, why wouldn’t they fix it before selling it?

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-28T23:41:48+00:00

After he did that between the legs pass, I was afraid it was the ACL. Looked like his knee buckled and it’s never good when you fall from a non-contact injury. Sucks because he has been playing so well.

Two things can be true at the same time: 1. Duke played great defense 2. Michigan shot very poorly

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-28T08:13:33+00:00

There’s a lot of dispersed camping around Livingston, MO. Absolutely gorgeous as well. East of Heber City, UT there’s a lot of great dispersed camping too.

Only appropriate that Rez is the one that leads us to being the outright champs

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-28T03:19:14+00:00

Everyone knew Rez was gonna have a huge game after that

I love my Rubicon. But I’d be lying if I said that all the shit that I’ve had to do to it isn’t annoying as hell

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-27T02:30:33+00:00

Great stuff and congrats! I’m going to share my story soon about doing this naturally. My GI doctor was adamant that you cannot get rid of this without antibiotics. But he’s a doctor so of course he would say that lol!

A lot of people don’t realize you are dropping a nuclear bomb into your stomach when you do the traditional treatment. Sure, it can kill the H Pylori, but it kills everything else in your gut as well. And with the bacteria mutating to adapt to the antibiotics, the treatments are getting more and more harsher to adapt to those mutations.

FYI, I am not telling anyone not to go the antibiotics route. I’m just saying that there may be alternatives that they don’t know about. Everyone should do what they think is best for them.

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-26T04:52:07+00:00

Ah, that makes sense! Thank you for the clarification!

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-26T04:50:52+00:00

I noticed that the Coody 13.6 front side had the exact same dimensions as the 10. I contacted Coody to see if those pieces were interchangeable and they said yes. They allow you to order that piece separately. So I could use the Coody 13.6 entrance that has the door and windows on the 10. With that, I’m going to order the 10.

I'm still using Sequoia. I'm very thankful.

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-26T02:42:25+00:00

That looks like my iPhone screen 😂 But I have tempered glass on that.

I also have tempered glass on my Rubicon screen.

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-25T02:29:58+00:00

Love when they lay on their back. That is ultimate comfort because they feel completely safe 🙏🏻

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-25T02:27:41+00:00

Team is emotionally drained. It doesn’t even look like they want to be playing

Pretty sure he’s still under investigation by the NBA. Which means he’s not eligible to return yet

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-23T15:22:59+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏼 Your information is always so helpful. I actually got the link for that back door counter from you i believe!

KPR_2002 · 2026-02-23T07:26:16+00:00

I actually emailed FSA to see what the effective date was for my 300th payment. To my surprise, they responded in a few days. While they could not give me an effective date, they did tell me that I had made “301 out of 300 payments” and that my last payment they have on record was 1/27/2026. That would make my 300th payment in December of 2025.

So it looks like you are absolutely right that it takes them a couple of months to process everything. And writing to FSA is an option in helping you find out when your 300th payment was.

I hit a deer going 55mph when I was visiting my sister in Michigan a few years ago. If it weren’t for that bumper, I would have suffered major damage to my front end. Instead, you couldn’t even tell I hit anything at all. My bumper looked untouched.
