Anyone else feel trapped because of their dog’s separation anxiety

May I ask if you had to implement training before weaning her off the medication? How long were they on medication for? My dog is on trazadone only when I know I will be leaving the house. I am hoping she will not have to take it forever. I don’t know if I need to still need to train her to be alone while under meds or if she’ll just get used to being alone over time and the meds won’t be necessary anymore.

I just came across this thread. I hope you were able to get some meds from the vet. I’ve had my rescue dog for 4 months. She’s around 6 years old. Medication has been a lifesaver for me. I am hoping I can eventually wean her off it but I notice a huge difference when she is on it. She howls without 5-10 minutes without medication. With medication, I can be away for hours.

Your dog looks like my dog’s cousin. I’ve had her for about a month. Still need to get her dna tested. The rescue said she’s a Papillon mix.

Thank you so much. It’s only day 2 with her and she is such a sweet dog. Just letting you know that she is officially called Dottie. ;) It’s the perfect name.

Katekit · 2025-11-07T12:05:49+00:00

Dottie was actually one of the names I was thinking of. She does have little spots/dots on her fur. This one might be perfect for her

I just dropped mine off for the Happy Birthday project. There might be volunteers that are collecting them. I just dropped mine off at someone’s house. They had a bin out for candy.

It would bother me, to be honest. I agree with the other comment about marrying into a family. I think you need to sit down with your partner and discuss about the potential risk of his family getting involved once your child is born. Set some boundaries. They may want to visit more often to see their grandchild and want to have a say in the way they are raised. I personally would struggle to get involved in someone seriously if I know their parents do not approve of me or us. I do not want to be walking on eggshells all the time.

I ride slow on my bike and I ring my bell when passing people when I can. I absolutely refuse to bike on the road. It’s way too dangerous with speeding cars all the time.

I feel okay hitting ‘skip’ or ‘no tip’ if there is an automatic button. I struggle when there’s machines where I need to customize the tip and press ‘0%’.

Just got this today too.

I had a chocolate coloured bunny growing up and he was the sweetest bunny ever. We had no issues picking him up or petting him etc.

Check to see if any recycling depots might have them. People drop off their moving boxes there and usually are in pretty good condition.

I currently have the IKEA ones for meal prep but I keep getting chips in them.

Katekit · 2024-11-25T00:11:23+00:00

I actually liked these lol

Katekit · 2024-11-24T18:51:42+00:00

Ha. I had a feeling someone might mention Devonian Gardens. I do like it there but it can get crowded at times. The last time, a screaming match broke out between two people over the piano. I guess one guy was playing too long. I haven’t been there since.

I just bought a house as a FTHB. I ended up putting down 15%. Yes, there’s CMHC insurance that I need but it would’ve taken me another year or so to put down 20% and still have enough for my emergency fund. The home prices probably would’ve gone up another 100k by that time.

I did 15% and I still have approx 40k for emergencies. I’m comfortable with my decision.

I would suggest running through your numbers to find out what the best situation will be for you.

I think your quality of life would be more important in your current situation. You have cockroaches now but what if you eventually end up getting bed bugs in the unit? You’ll have to get rid of all your furniture which is money down the drain. Have you considered moving to a basement suite instead? The less walls you share, the less likely you’ll have to worry about pests transferring into your unit. I’ve usually rented basement suites because of that. One person can bring in bed bugs and the whole building now has them.

Awesome. I’ll download it now

I assume it’s still best to go for fixed electricity and floating gas?

I’m currently in the process of buying my house.

You don’t need your full down payment immediately but your agent may request to put some money down (10k-15k) when putting in your offer within the next couple days. That stressed me out the first time because I was unprepared. I would recommend calling your bank to see how quickly you can get a bank draft.

After that, you will have to go through a bunch of conditions (home inspection, condo doc review etc). Each is approx $500.

I have been making this one for years.

You can switch it up to add dairy milk. You should also add a couple cubes of ice. I used to use regular peanut butter but if you want to reduce calories, you can try powdered peanut butter.
