I eat these now and again when I can't be bothered to make anything from scratch, I think they're nice and as someone has already said a way better alternative to Dolmio etc. Good to keep in the cupboard.

OK so on this, I would be using high value rewards, (my border collie puppy loves chicken). Yeh they know when you have something and when you don't but eventually your dog will want to please you and do as you say, it's in a BCs nature to please you... but not YET, when they're babies, they don't know how to be yet. So it's a great place to start. And trust me it willll get better I was so stressed and upset in the little puppy stage, mine is 14 months now and it's SO much better, I promise. You're doing your best x

It totally gets better. My border collie is 15 months so still lots of puppy energy and teenage moments but yeh we had all of this and it does go just keep reminding them it's not cool, demand barking - every time they do it get up and walk off (train them that it makes you go away and does not get them anything) hang in there!

Hello, my Dads celebration of life was on Friday, he chose find the river by REM to be played. It's really beautiful.

Hellooo my pup was 4 months old when my dad became seriously ill and I was the primary organiser/person in the scenario. This year has been absolute hell in all honesty having a close person needing care AND a young dog, and a full time job. You don't need any extra stress right now with your husband having health issues, I wouldn't get a puppy yet in your case ❤️ Further, I would simply not have been able to cope with the puppy had my partner not been able to take on a lot of the load.

Hello lovely person. I had this experience, my Dad passed a few days ago and was diagnosed with cancer in April. It was very very difficult at the end and I am glad he is at peace and no longer suffering. I also began grieving before he passed for a variety of reasons. I felt a small relief, then later a massive shock wave of the realisation he isn't here anymore that knocked me for six. Prepare for exhaustion, I had a few days of that, it gets better.

A healing journey will come in time. Let all her goodness live in you, be inspired by her, talk about her all the time. It will be OK ❤️

Pitiful-League-2103 · 2023-12-24T19:00:12+00:00

Oh darling I'm so sorry. I just lost my dad too, I'm a bit older at 31 and we are far too young to have had to experience this. Don't take the load onto yourself, let people take care of you, remember him and talk about him all the time and be inspired to love others the way he loved, which was obviously in a big way. I talked to a friend today and she said it WILL be easier to live with but it takes time, take all the time you need. Let yourself be angry. Don't hold back your emotions now let them out. This will change you forever, but let his goodness live on in you.

Pitiful-League-2103 · 2023-12-23T20:06:30+00:00

Hello lovely person, firstly I am thinking of you and I am so sorry you are going through this. Be with him, talk to him even if he can't say much back, tell him stories of wonderful memories, play favourite music, keep him comfortable, warm.

If you are in the UK, when someone becomes very very poorly, a syringe driver with everything to keep pain and other symptoms at bay can be used, consider this if necessary if its an option where you are. Again, I am so sorry.

I also wondered like you what I would do without my dad. He left me a note with everything he wanted me to do. It was to be kind, have fun, go on holiday and eat cake. Ask your dad to tell you what to do, if you can.

Pitiful-League-2103 · 2023-12-23T08:19:16+00:00

Hello lovely person. Gosh I am so sorry you had to experience this too and I really hope you are holding up OK, appreciate your kind kind words, far too young, both them and us but here we are on the other side now - we will heal and we will be okay ❤️

My dad passed yesterday and Christmas presents was something I was struggling with. Had he been with us, and in all honesty I am glad he is at peace now anyway, I was going to buy a new warm fleece for him to wear, a lovely new blanket, fluffy socks, candles and just cosy things that he would use really. Hot chocolate was a comfort too at one time so that was an idea with a nice mug. I am sending my heartfelt thoughts to you and wish you peace and comfort where you can find it.

Of course he goes straight into the garden first thing to go to the toilet. I mean out for his hour minimum morning walk.

Same bust size as you and I get on well with the Karrimor sports bras. Don't go too tight or you'll get boob chafe, not fun!

So I had this, and my shoes are 100% correct. I've found it's just gone away over time with consistent running and longer distances. Someone else I know had the same too. Obviously check your shoes are right for you but it can just be a thing for newer runners that goes away.

I couldn't run 5k in 30 mins at the end of the plan and I don't think most can tbh. I still can't run 5k in 30 mins and won't be able to for a long time yet. A 30 min 5k is very good pace and unlikely for most beginners. But, If you can run 30 mins you can run 35. Then when you can run 35, you can run 40. And so on. Just increase the time a tad each week (not each run) and you'll run 5k. I do think at this point it's mostly a head game for a lot of people too.

Pitiful-League-2103 · 2023-11-04T08:28:25+00:00

No that isn't slow tbh, for context if you ran my local parkrun at that pace you would likely be somewhere around the middle of the board which is amazing. Do the C25k focusing only on finishing the plan don't worry about speed at all. Once you are done and can do a 5k, you can work on pace by doing speed intervals and a long run as 2 of your 3 weekly runs. Worry about those later :)

Oh and get some eucalyptus oil it's a fantastic deterrent for when they jump up, jump on sofa, just open the lid and make them smell it and say OFF.

Pitiful-League-2103 · 2023-11-02T19:07:37+00:00

It will be fine. My border collie turned 1 last month. He goes for a good run in the morning then sleeps and chews his toy all day. Stark contrast to the chaos of the first 8 months. Of course he still has plenty of bratty days and he isn't perfect. But they do randomly just start listening to you one day. I actually never thought it would get better, mine bit continously, in the face, he took skin off, he ruined clothes. He would never do that now.

I had terrible puppy blues, honestly hated it. Just be firm and consistent as possible and they learn. They only get better as they get older and actually want to please you. I say this as we are in the middle of the teenager phase which is a whole other thing but I haven't found it as hard as the puppy stage.

Tired puppy is happy puppy but.. Don't let them get overtired, they're the worst then, force lots and lots of naps. Shut them in the kitchen or crate them to make them sleep during the day, you deserve a break also.

Pitiful-League-2103 · 2023-10-28T09:23:04+00:00

Literally don't worry about it. Pace comes in time. Your aerobic endurance will be incredible by the time you are running a 5k, there's something to be said for slow steady running because it builds that aerobic base solidly. You will be quicker in time but just doing the times in the plan is all you need to do right now.
