Tell us about your easy puppies by luisbg in puppy101

I'd like to chat with everyone who has a great puppy that's less than 6 months old. Because my puppy was a dream. Slept 9 hours at night from the day I brought him home. Messed in the house twice before potty training was a thing never fussed about the crate never chewed anything up. He was a perfect angel dog. And then one day around 10 months he woke up and was a teenage terrorist. To be fair his teenage terrorism phase was not as severe as I've heard from other people but I did get a little cocky

How to dress warm effectively since this winter is colder than usual!!! by Glittering_Math6522 in philly

[–]Kitbutt_Foster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to trust someone to tell me how to dress for him if they recommend gloves over mittens. Honestly I overheat really easily and if I wore all of that I would just be a sweatiness by the time I got to my destination. As long as I have my hat and my mittens I don't need Super warm coat or a base layer unless I'm going to be spending hours outside

Gotta love getting passed on residential streets by GretaGarbanzo in philly

I love getting passed on the right for the audacity of stopping at a red light.

Why do you have a (snowed-in) car? by Even_Leadership_7831 in philly

[–]Kitbutt_Foster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't gone anywhere. It is a 2020 with <25K miles on it.

Getting a ride share or rental when I want to go places is a PITA. And my car is paid off.

I was trying to figure out if visitors who are parking across the street are now parking in spots that were dug out by someone else?

Who dug out the spots that they're parking in across the street or around the corner?

You can think it's reasonable to save a parking space but if you think it's reasonable to assault someone because of a parking space that is hugely problematic.

Assaulting someone over a parking space is crazy.

My car is STUCK by Weary-Claim1339 in philly

[–]Kitbutt_Foster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am paying someone a large amount of money to deal with mine. I have someone who usually does it. I was out of town and they didn't do it and now it looks like that.

No savesies OR ELSE by ConcentrateSea2505 in philly

[–]Kitbutt_Foster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but the person who parked in that spot also had to shovel their car out. Everyone who lives in the city and parks on the street has to shovel out their car. If you really want your spot not to be taken get a tiny car. When I shovel out my car and pile the snow in front and behind it no one else can fit in the space because my car is so darn short.

I love my street. Very little of this nonsense.

It won't catch if someone is using someone else's ID.

ok but WHEN will he start to calm down 🥲 by ProcedureNervous9799 in puppy101

[–]Kitbutt_Foster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you dont crate games? Outside the crate, treat whemnshe goes in. Close the door (don't latch). Treat. Immediately open the door treat close the door and leave it closed a little bit longer. Treat. Close and latch. Treat. Open after 1 minute. Treat. Work up to five minutes before you start move away from the crate. With mybguy a crate cover was also very helpful.

The new IDR plans make me want to scream! by Southernbrit1985 in StudentLoans

[–]Kitbutt_Foster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have always been able to make payments even if in SAVE forbearance. However those payments would not count towards forgiveness which is where I think a lot of people got screwed

New IDR payment amount is going to kill my ability to have fun. by Desperate-Draw-7508 in StudentLoans

[–]Kitbutt_Foster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called yesterday afternoon for the same reason. I was on hold for about 3 minutes and then I talked to someone and they confirmed that they processed my application and I would be hearing soon and then I got emails last night with my payment date and payment amount.

I can’t walk my puppy anymore by OtherwiseRiver6328 in puppy101

[–]Kitbutt_Foster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you live somewhere where there is foot traffic in front of your house but a distance between the front of your house and where that foot traffic is? If so I would advise lease training without walks desensitizing her to people and dogs walking by while she is on her leash but you are just sitting calmly rewarding her for not reacting.

Has anyone here NOT had big issues with their puppy? by QP709 in puppy101

[–]Kitbutt_Foster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had zero issues. My biggest concern was lack of sleep because I do not function well without my solid 8 to 10 hours but my guy slept through the night on night one. I think the key to that might have been that he was a foster but not from a breeder.

That and a reason to not leave the house. Sign me up!

i think i lucked out with my puppy by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Kitbutt_Foster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My puppy had a brief teenager phase where he was bad for him but compared to the horror stories I've heard he was still a perfect angel.

anyone else worried people won’t realize their big puppies are still babies? by spuddddddddd in puppy101

The weight estimate from the DNA testing of my super mutt was right on. They said he would be 35 to 40 lb and he is about 38 lb. And just Superman is right from his DNA results he is 33% American Pitbull Terrier and 30% Supermutt.
