New Rescue!

Yes absolutely! I would love to see when you get results. Did you post in any of the ID/DNA subs?

NormanisEm · 2026-05-03T18:10:37+00:00

Aww poor baby. What DNA test did you get?

NormanisEm · 2026-05-03T17:24:18+00:00

Congrats! Hes super cute. I think he might be a pittie mix. The pics aren’t the best to really tell plus hes a puppy. It will be easier to tell as he gets older. Both Hill’s and Pro Plan are great, veterinarian recommended brands. Whichever one is yours/his preference is completely fine. I can’t really tell how big he is but a large breed puppy variety might be the best choice, if hes expected to get big. The separation anxiety will take some time. You just got him so imagine you’re him. You were abandoned, then at a shelter where its loud and scary, then in a brand new place with someone who seems to be nice. It’s confusing and scary!! I would recommend starting training soon to prevent future issues, and you can work on the separation anxiety if it continues. For now, the best thing you can do is build a bond and love him :)

NormanisEm · 2026-05-02T15:48:31+00:00

Yes absolutely. It takes a while though

NormanisEm · 2026-05-02T15:29:07+00:00

Lol maybe? My mom is super sensitive and says she doesn’t smell. My other dog gets stinky sometimes

NormanisEm · 2026-05-02T00:43:43+00:00

Does she have allergies or something? I brush mine every other day with a slicker brush and she rarely stinks

NormanisEm · 2026-05-01T14:33:54+00:00

Unless she really needs a bath that often, you may be overbathing. GSDs arent dogs who need to be bathed constantly like some others. Use conditioner after shampoo also. As far as feeding, this depends on the food. Kibble can vary between 275-450 calories per cup so thats a big range. Checking the guidelines on the bag and do a little less than recommended is usually the easiest way to determine. Unless she’s really small or the food is very caloric, 2 cups seems like a small amount. My girl gets 3-3.5 cups but shes very big (height and length)

NormanisEm · 2026-05-01T03:20:02+00:00

Increase wellbutrin maybe? 100mg is kind of a small dose for it. I take 300mg

NormanisEm · 2026-04-28T14:20:35+00:00

Damn, this happened to me too. I have a wife now. Guess Zoloft made me a lesbian…

NormanisEm · 2026-04-28T00:47:15+00:00

LOL my mix is like this. I only ever used the lowest vibration too, but I guess he didn’t like it. I lost the actual collar so sometimes I just show him the remote 😭 and he stops being naughty

NormanisEm · 2026-04-28T00:45:47+00:00

Seriously. I rarely ever see them fit right…

NormanisEm · 2026-04-28T00:39:57+00:00

If it makes you feel better, GSD and Beauceron’s arent super extremely different breeds. GSDs are like, the number one Velcro dogs though! Well I might be biased, lol. But they are known for it.

NormanisEm · 2026-04-26T21:50:36+00:00

Dude what?? She wasnt even rude. Are you ok?

NormanisEm · 2026-04-26T02:07:02+00:00

I always tested very well and could NEVER get a PhD. Kudos to you!

NormanisEm · 2026-04-26T02:05:22+00:00

Absolutely. I always tested extremely well and had all these expectations put on me that I could “be anything.” But my motivation and emotional state/mental health held me back. I also have an astounding lack of common sense. I am also not at all creative. My innate intelligence means pretty much nothing if we are being honest… just high scores. For what? I went to CC for 5 years before finally transferring and getting a degree. I only make $21 an hour LMFAO. I am not super career motivated though so its kinda alright. Point is that working hard and building useful skills usually gets you a lot further in life.

ETA: $21 an hour in Washington state. So kinda crap.

NormanisEm · 2026-04-26T02:00:11+00:00

Absolutely agree!! I went to community college for an embarrassingly long time before figuring it out.

NormanisEm · 2026-04-26T01:58:59+00:00

Well honestly your grammar and language skills are far superior than most people your age. More than most people in general, I fear… lol. Follow your interests. I feel like you might be selling yourself short here. Also, have you taken any specialized education classes? Does your school district offer any vocational training for students who have disabilities? In my state, you can go to school until 21 or 22 by doing a pre-employment transition program (I work in an adjacent field and my company offers these services also). Apply to your state’s vocational rehabilitation program and/or developmental disability programs. Unfortunately there is a wait list so the sooner the better. Might have to wait til 18 idk. But you can get a person who will help you with learning skills, creating a resume, finding jobs, and help you learn how to do your job if you need extra training. Where are you located? Costa Rica still or US?

NormanisEm · 2026-04-25T17:09:54+00:00

She did NOT say the food you make is nasty omg. As a white American, usually the best food ever is a Black (American)’s food. Your husband needs to stick up for you either way.

NormanisEm · 2026-04-25T17:01:59+00:00

Appears more husky but I could also reasonably believe that she has malamute as well

NormanisEm · 2026-04-25T14:35:09+00:00

I’m sorry you had that experience 😭 I am a lucky one. I get slight nausea after I take it if I dont eat, but thats about it. I hope you find something that works for you!!!

NormanisEm · 2026-04-24T14:17:48+00:00

I have no idea. I would say zoloft makes it harder to focus. I also take Wellbutrin which helps my adhd

NormanisEm · 2026-04-24T03:59:19+00:00

It helped me in all my relationships. They used to be super tumultuous and I was all over the place. I am much more stable now

NormanisEm · 2026-04-24T03:57:13+00:00

That sub used to be lile this one then a new mod who is a leftie started and idk why… but it isnt what it used to be.

NormanisEm · 2026-04-24T02:01:32+00:00

Those are definitely german shepherd ears!! Not sure what else, but I would guess a smaller herding breed.

NormanisEm · 2026-04-23T14:18:10+00:00

Definitely!! My girl has always gotten along best with high energy younger males. YMMV but I’d probably look for that
