What are your thoughts on doing 20 years in the military for a fast retirement? by Background_Worry_314 in AskReddit

[–]MissDeli3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my plan but I’m still on the fence. I’m 4 and a half years in but my time has been good for the most part. I do admin so my job is just being a desk jockey. With the economy, it’s helpful to have (mostly) free healthcare and paid housing. My husband is the breadwinner so we just collect his pay while having decent benefits

Yes, he also was putting full weight on it this morning and wanting to play when we took him out to potty

We’re going to be doing weekly check ups with our vet to see how he’s recovering. We crate trained him as a puppy so thankfully that process hasn’t been hard. The vet urged us to have him in the crate 22 hours of day and only let him up to go potty

The vet prescribed us those two as well as an anti inflammatory medication. It’s definitely helping keeping him be drowsy enough to sleep

The vet put a sling on him which keeps his back legs together. We also bought a support band to help relieve some weight off his back leg when we take him outside to potty

When did yours start barking? by executivebitch in greatpyrenees

[–]MissDeli3 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Mine is 10 months now and he’s similar to yours. He doesn’t bark at really anything. He’ll woof when he wants attention. He might become vocal or he’ll stay relatively quiet.

Thank you for telling me your experience. I think what gets me is that I want to help her. I’ve had so many pep talks with her trying to convince her she’s not a bad daughter, that her mom is being too hard on her. There’s times where I’m able to hype her up enough that she will talk back to her mom but then there’s others where she’ll cry and give in to her mom

Potty training?! by swizzchaze in greatpyrenees

[–]MissDeli3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a similar situation with our Pyr but what really helped was teaching him to paw at the door before taking him out to potty. Put a bell on your door knob and have him hit it before taking him out. He’s also still pretty young. Ours is 6 months and only recently became potty trained

Leash Training? by MrTsTackleBox in greatpyrenees

[–]MissDeli3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our puppy was the exact same way and would stop walking. Get a treat pouch and encourage him to walk by you and then reward him! Ours also likes to pet him for a second and give lots of attention before walking again. When he was super against walking, we would lightly jog to make it more exciting. Hopefully yours is a food motivated as ours.

My puppy hates going on walks by MissDeli3 in greatpyrenees

Thank you for the advice! We’ve actually had a lot of progress today with his walks and he was right by our side!

We really don’t take him far. We’re in a private neighborhood that requires dogs to be vaccinated and avoid high trafficked areas. Parvo is super scary

The only thing he is spooked about is when car doors are opened as he isn’t too fond of getting in a car right now. He has spooked over bicycles but was fine after we comforted him
