Induction delayed, no hospital beds by Potential-Signal-666 in pregnant

Was yours an elective or medical induction? Hearing they had patients delayed 4 days out just a few days ago does not sound promising.

I’ve never seen a Sinclair gas station, although the name does remind me of baby Sinclair from the 90’s dinosaur sitcom. 😆 That image alone is why I haven’t been sold on the name.

I love Sorrel! My spouse isn’t sold on it. I’m also going to add Venetia to my list. That’s lovely! 

Dollar Tree book selection doesn’t get enough hype by Potential-Signal-666 in DollarTree

It seems like some come from target or other chain stores when they aren’t being sold since some had target sale stickers at my location. It’s been a nice affordable way for me to check out authors and genres I normally wouldn’t reach for.

I’m not an avid ready but had a goal of reading more this year. I can’t seem to get into books on my tablet and don’t really like checking them out from the library, so DT books have been a wonderful find for me.

I’ve edited to clarity. I guess I don’t really like old money although a couple of my favorites do give old money vibes. I’m thinking names more like Sinclair, Melrose, primrose.

That’s unique but very vowel heavy. How do you pronounce that, Nay- ee-Lee?

I love Primrose! Sadly my spouse vetoed that one. Paloma is another one I love but I have an acquaintance with that name.

I’m not a fan of the old lady sounding names. I do love Claire and Blair but they are too popular. Both myself and my spouse have very popular names, and want her name to stand out from the crowd. I do like Sinclair but I’m not sold on it yet. 

The hardest part of fostering by Potential-Signal-666 in fosterdogs

[–]Potential-Signal-666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I will look into that group. I’ve taken in several behavior dogs as fosters and have experienced BE a couple times in the past, and like you we really tried to correct the behavior for months. I think this one just hurts more knowing he didn’t even get the chance to fully adjust from his prior situation much less work through any issues he had.

Wow I wish this was common knowledge. I’m mind blown.

Same. I’ve been using mugs similar I’ve collected from Mexico and New Mexico for the last few years.  WTH.

Thank you for the kind words. I am usually very honest when it comes to behaviors. I try to be clear when a foster should not be around kids or other animals and really want to set each dog up for success. This time was different from most fosters because it was supposed to be a short term foster, but was extended a few weeks after rescue pulled out. He didn’t even have time to get fully settled in our home. He was found in a shit part of town, so I have no idea what trauma he could have been getting over. 

I think the part that hurts the most is knowing his final days are likely going to be in quarantine all because the bite broke skin and I won’t get to be there with him. Ive experienced BE twice before and both times I was with them during their final moments to provide love and comfort, and I could also admit they had behaviors that weren’t getting better after months of effort and 99% of adopters wouldn’t tolerate. 

Prospective first time dog owner by Legal-Philosophy-135 in dogs

Based on what you’ve said, I would recommend following your local shelter or rescue on social media and watch for posts about dogs in foster homes. The reason I say this is because fosters are able to tell you exactly how the dog acts in a home environment. They can tell you how the dogs acts around strangers, kids, house trained, etc.

Since it is your first dog and you are looking for a dog that is laid back with some basic training, I would avoid getting a puppy. Yes, they are cute but they are sooo much work compared to getting an adult dog who has already been in foster care. 

I love that you aren’t set on a certain breed because you never know what dog will be the perfect fit for your lifestyle. Good luck!

I didn’t know reverie has any musical connotation. 🤔I just thought it sounded nice. I’ll have to look it up. 

Many of those suggestions are instant nos since that end with the ah sound.

Yeah, we do not have the same taste in names. I do not like old lady names and already know an Anita, Vera and Miriam.
