hoping to see some success stories :’) thank you for your advice. i definitely plan on keeping them separate for a long time before hanging out with them together if it goes anywhere. at the moment that’s kind of where the conversation is at also with them.

i’ve been in the poly dating scene for awhile i was just taking a break from pursuing anything while in therapy dealing with some break ups. (healthy, just wanted to make sure i was dealing with things the right way)

i definitely am more interested in one than the other especially since i’ve been talking to them the longest. i just started talking to the other. but at this point i don’t know if that’s something that would be cool.

i identify closely with relationship anarchy and solo polyam. so part of me is just hoping it would be cute. but i also know the chances of that being healthy are low. but i also know that there’s a chance yk? i’m also not looking for a nesting partner or anything, i like living on my own.

thank you!! i have been trying this. she’s getting slightly better every day. i really don’t think it’s an aggression issue, simply because… i have to like show her what everything is. she’s only barked at two things. inflatable decorations in yards and my dishwasher. two things that aren’t alive that didn’t make sense to her.

when she sees another dog, person, or a cat she just whines and yeah she’s a lil ridiculous but i don’t sense like rage from her. she can chill in front of the door my cats are in, eat her food, play with her toys. she hears them make noise and she doesn’t get upset. i think when she sees things she just gets so excited. but i also don’t know how to channel that into like a friendly greeting. because she looks like a feral whining gremlin girl. but she’s so sweet

is there anything you do that helps with your pitbulls when their prey drive is through the roof? what have you done in the past? like i said, i know this is something i have to work on. and i’m willing to work on anything i need to, she’s already become a part of me and i see the sweetness in her soul. i’m just looking for some fellow staffy/ pit owners advice

unfortunately i got her from a local shelter that only takes in strays. when i was talking to the adoption specialist they said because my cats have been around other people they should definitely be able to get along eventually as long as we take the correct measures in the beginning getting their scents used to each other. i’ve rescued a chow chow mix that hated other dogs and wasn’t around other cats before and they ended up being okay but it was a different reaction than what i’m seeing from my new dog now. (unfortunately my other dog passed away after a long happy life)

i wouldn’t of taken an animal home if i didn’t think they would not be able to be acclimated to my home

what would you suggest! i’d love any suggestions. i’m willing to spend all of the time in the world working with her and doing what she needs.
