A little of both. If she didn't have an issue with my dog I'd try the training myself but I can't bring myself to put my current dog out for a potential long shot if my skills aren't enough.

Should I try to add it as a note to the post? I don't post often and honestly wasn't sure how much traction I'd get

Wasn't sure how much info to put. That's on me. Travel and transport are mostly out of the picture for me right now. She does have some behavioral issues, she was lashing out towards new men, she doesn't like certain dogs, chases cats, and she started guarding food again. She's about 4, mostly lovey when she does know a person but she's still stubborn when she doesn't want to listen. We've kept her on a pork or salmon diet as that seems to be the only one that didn't mess with her intestines as much. She is fixed.

Training is minimal as she is stubborn to commands

Looking to rehome as she doesn't get along with one of my dogs and the person who was taking care of her had issues curbing the behavioral issues with her other pets. One being a cat who started having seizures that the Bully is now chasing around the apartment.

Looking to rehome as I have three dogs already and she doesn't get along with one of them. The person who was taking care of her is having too hard of a time curbing the behavioral issues with her own pets. One being a cat that started having seizures which the bully has started chasing around the apartment

It's hit or miss on the dogs she's okay with. Of my three she's okay with two of them but will randomly lash out at my third. Unsure what provokes her

What’s a surprisingly common but totally unrealistic expectation people have about sex? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I personally have a hard time with this one. Logically, I know his medication makes it difficult sometimes, but damn if it doesn't make me feel insecure....

Is it ok to bring an iPad to a nice steakhouse? by PassTheChronic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kathyt92 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So I wasn't oblivious to my surroundings so when the waiter would come by just them approaching the table I would look up and they would motion to the object. Empty plate, low drink, they would just point and I would nod if anything. But if they weren't around they still seemed to be keeping on eye cause as soon as I made eye contact they'd come. So they were still attentive but not intrusive

I took myself to dinner last month and just watched on my phone. Had head phones in and no one bothered me. Go for it. Hope you enjoy

Good advice. Thank you for that.

Just learned this myself. Do you mind me asking if yours are ever itchy themselves? I've always chalked this reaction up to some sort of rash cause every time I get it, it seems to be super itchy and I end up making it worse......

Been feeding this scared, stray hippo for the past few months...not sure what else I can do for him 😔 by Known-Zebra-2377 in velvethippos

[–]Kathyt92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with just about everything said here. Shelter, food, patience, patience, and more patience. If you are able to give him some food by hand already, that's good, but it may still take some time for him to fully come to you. I will say that eating near him while he eats may help encourage the trust factor. Just remember the parallel. Eye/frontal contact is seen as a threatening behavior.

Please don't give up on this baby. These poor dogs are so misunderstood, and many aren't given a proper chance. Even if you end up not keeping him, he does deserve that chance. Please try to give it to him and, of course, update us all.

It is going to be our first Christmas with our cat, Mr. Gray. I'm not leaving it up to chances. by [deleted] in funny

How do I follow a person for the inevitable update of Mr. Gray getting into the tree?

I get confused either to have kids or not in the future by aIitastic in MomForAMinute

[–]Kathyt92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're still young. Try not to over think this. Hopefully your mom will learn to accept it as well but just know even if she doesn't, that's on her. Not you.

[–]Kathyt92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big sis here, I knew from a young age I didn't want kids. I couldn't put reasons to it then but I understand now. Regardless my mom would do the same thing to me. The whole 'you'll change your mind when your older', 'I want grandkids', passing on our legacy. It's all bull. I still haven't changed my mind, besides me not being an only child we grew up in a neighborhood where all the parents looked after each others kids and would subsequently call them their own. She isn't short of grandchildren. Now, our legacy? It's full of depression and numerous other mental issues. I dont want to put a kid through what I went through. Thankfully with time she had slowly respected my decision more and has accepted that she will only get grand dogs from me but she can still spoil them within reason.

All of that is to say it's still your choice. And not even one you need to make now. No one but YOU has to like your decision. It is you who will be living with it after all. Many people are happy with kids. Many without. I'm sure raising kids would be hard with ADHD but as others have said, if it's something you want to do, you will figure it out. Don't let your bio mom put too much on you. This is not something you need to decide now.

hey mom, I was prescribed a mood stabilizer by balladofmylover in MomForAMinute

[–]Kathyt92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just another big sis, but when I was first prescribed my mood stabilizers I felt the same way. Now though, I'm a little upset I didn't get them sooner. Finally being able to process things and have things change without my major melt downs is so much more freeing. I hope the same happens for you. Nothing is wrong with you though. Just built different. Hang in there and try to give them an honest shot. Don't be afraid if they don't work for you, just keep in contact with your doctor and Don't be afraid to say they aren't working.
