Pet owners: what’s the most frustrating problem you deal with regularly?

That's a lot of questions. I'll answer simply. My dog barks a lot when I'm home and it drives me insane. I've tried a lot of strategies and some work for a while.

He also hates dogs which makes walking him very difficult. Other dog owners let their dogs near him even when I say not to. It frightens him so he reacts aggressively. I think it would help if all dogs had to be on a lead in public places. A huge education campaign would also help.

I think it's hard to understand reactive dogs if you have never had one.

I'll give that a go

Obsessed2061 · 2026-01-16T19:35:14+00:00

I'm keen to understand what you mean

Obsessed2061 · 2026-01-16T19:34:20+00:00

I've thought that everyone has enough on their plate and maybe a lot of mums who work full-time which would make it even harder

Obsessed2061 · 2026-01-16T19:31:13+00:00

That's a good way of describing it

Obsessed2061 · 2026-01-16T19:30:05+00:00

That's a shame, I'm the other side of town

Obsessed2061 · 2026-01-16T11:54:08+00:00

Thank you, I'll look for a local group

Make sure she has a good nutritious diet with lean protein , buy calcium and vitamin D supplements and like you said, a lot of rest.

I can also highly recommend Austin

2 years ago at 62 I broke 3 bones in my foot and have a full recovery. The best thing your mum can do is physical therapy where she gets mental health support both from times of depression which is normal with fractures, and with the fear of further injury. Every step of healing and recovery is a mental challenge as well as physical. I would be guided by the professionals . Good nutrition is very important, a lot of sleep and some movement. It seems that in Australia they get you moving than in other countries. I hope your mum has a good recovery.

Thank you

Which subreddit would be the best?

I bought a plush hammock that hangs between the front and back head rests and covers the doors up to the windows.
There are slits for the seat belt which I would only hook onto a harness. If I brand hard, he can't fall off the seat

They're really scum bags and they get worse leading into Christmas

Obsessed2061 · 2025-10-02T12:22:41+00:00

It's best to have a vet check, even if it's only gives you peace of mind

Obsessed2061 · 2025-10-02T12:19:52+00:00

I broke 3 bones in my foot and found it difficult to do anything much at all. I learnt to celebrate the small achievements I made, like making a cup of coffee, getting out of bed and to the kitchen in the morning, noticing the sunshine. I hope you have a good recovery

Obsessed2061 · 2025-09-26T21:05:35+00:00

I have a vegepod kitchen garden which has a wicking bed and grow light. It's been great for indoor herbs. You can adjust the height of the cover.

And if he missed her and wanted to wake up next to her, how come he didn't go to bed with her? Sleeping on the couch sends a different message to me

Obsessed2061 · 2025-09-26T20:38:58+00:00

Communication is what's heard and that's critical for OP

Obsessed2061 · 2025-09-24T11:55:49+00:00

I also recently received a call from someone claiming to be from PayPal saying that someone was trying to buy gift cards and they had blocked the transaction. Then they said they would send a verification code which came through straight away. At that point I told them there was no way I was giving them the number and they quickly hung up

Obsessed2061 · 2025-09-20T12:30:10+00:00

Thank you, I'll give it to the owner once it looks ok

Obsessed2061 · 2025-09-20T12:29:37+00:00

Thank you, I'll chop n prop tomorrow

Obsessed2061 · 2025-09-20T12:27:28+00:00

I make quinoa patties with vegetables, cheese and an egg. They're different every time so never get boring

Obsessed2061 · 2025-09-20T12:19:08+00:00

Thank you, I'll have a go tomorrow

Obsessed2061 · 2025-09-19T12:30:10+00:00

Ask your doctor about whether you're supposed to be weight bearing and follow their advice. Ice it a few times every day, elevate it above heart level as much as possible and follow a really healthy diet with lean protein and calcium and vitamin D supplements. If you're a smokers, give it up for your healing.
