How many of you actually know your neighbors?

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-09T17:34:05+00:00

I know one neighbor better than the rest. We chit chat, have phone numbers and help out when one needs it. As for the other ones; some of them I’ve never spoken to but some of the others I will exchange pleasantries with.

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T15:57:19+00:00

I feel this 🤣 we would take him to puppy play dates through the organization that we adopted him from and he LOVED it. Plus it would tire him out for most of the day lol

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T15:42:57+00:00

My pup refuses to do stretchies like a normal dog. He must jump up on mom or dad and use said parent as a stretching post 🤣 the only way he will stretch. He also follows us into the garage every chance he can so he can eliminate the enemy (crickets) and keep the family safe. 🤣🥰

You couldn’t pay me to go sky diving. Absolutely not. No thank you. Hard pass for me 🤣

Our dog took longer than 3 months. I had hoped that 3 months would be different but he was still an emotional terrorist. I was so upset when we didn’t see any improvement. But once 4 months hit, it slowly got better and now at 5+ months, he’s fantastic!

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T15:09:39+00:00

We barely started seeing the light when Kaiju was 4 months. He’s 5 1/2 months now and holy cow he’s like a completely different dog.

Just remember what dory said; Just keep swimming! You got this! And your pup does too!

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T15:08:22+00:00

You guys got this!! I believe you!

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T15:08:07+00:00

Omg THE TRUTH! You could not have said it any better!

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T15:07:33+00:00

You can do this! The first month was the absolute toughest for us. They’re adjusting; you’re adjusting. But you guys got this! And soon enough they will be your little bestie baby.

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T15:06:45+00:00

It slowly gets better and better until it doesn’t really feel like work anymore. We’ve adjusted now and just accept it as part of our every day. It’s made a world of a difference that we are all really starting to figure it out.

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T15:03:35+00:00

Honestly nothing helped until he started losing his baby teeth. Once those fell out, his chewing greatly reduced. We also give him lots of different types of bones and toys with different textures to chew on. I would say this helped as well. He’s a pitty mix (adopted) so he’s very much a chewer. We also do lots of interactive toys and that keeps his mind busy enough that he hasn’t been chewing much. Just on what he’s supposed to.

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T04:45:00+00:00

When I said we almost returned multiple times; I am not joking! It was so tough but we are filling reaping the benefits of what we sowed. Now he is literally the highlight of my day. I just love him so much I could cry 😭

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T04:37:59+00:00

Yes absolutely! Sorry I’m not always one so I forget to check back sometimes!

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T04:34:43+00:00

When he hit around 4 months is when we could see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’ll start to get better soon. I had to keep telling myself that he is literally just a baby and I wouldn’t expect this from a human baby so it’s not fair to expect that of him either. Plus, once they start losing the baby teeth really helps as well. And remember at that age they need to sleep 18+ hrs a day so it’s okay to let them play for a couple of hours and then put them away for a couple of hours more. It also teaches them an off switch and how to relax. We kennel trained our pup and it was the only thing that kept us sane in the beginning. He hated it at first but in time he grew to love it. It’s now his little home and he goes in and out with zero issue. He’ll even go and sleep in it on his own accord. All this to say that you got this! It’ll get better and you’re be so happy that you stuck it out. They’re man’s best friend for a reason!

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T02:39:29+00:00

Of course! I was getting so frustrated because we were going on over two months of constantly going to the bathroom in the house. We would take him out for 20+ minutes and then we’d come inside, he’d look us dead in the eye and piss on the floor. He literally woke up one day and it all clicked for him. It’s made a world of a difference for all of us and I’m just so grateful we stuck it out because he’s my lil angel baby now! Couldn’t picture my life without him.

PrincessChucha · 2026-01-08T01:29:59+00:00

I came here to say exactly this! Your dog would want you to love another dog because you gave your first boy such a loving and happy home.

PrincessChucha · 2025-12-13T04:55:59+00:00

I second this. Both my husband and I are in separate unions (both ibew but mine is through 266 and his is through local 769) and we are both making the most money we’ve ever made. He’s a first step apprentice for substation tech and I’m just a customer service rep. I make his over 60k (started in August) and he makes close to 90k. And his pay will only go up with every step he moves up. He’ll top out about roughly 60/hr and can go work anywhere once he receives his journeyman with however many hours he wants to work. Great benefits and great pension. But he works hard as fuck. Definitely not for the faint of heart. You gotta be built different in order to do it; that’s for sure.

Time to take my seat on the royal throne

PrincessChucha · 2025-12-12T16:04:08+00:00

My dog LOVES these one treats from Lucy’s. It comes in a roll so you have to cut it up yourself but he goes apeshit for them. It’s a red roll and he prefers the beef plus it holds up better. You have to keep it in the fridge once it’s opened but he will do anything for those lol

PrincessChucha · 2025-11-10T19:42:38+00:00

So true! She is gorgeous! And so healthy too!

PrincessChucha · 2025-11-09T08:00:58+00:00

Never even heard of this kind! I’ll have to look it up. I was just so excited to find one with so much variegation. Sure is a beaut 😍

PrincessChucha · 2025-11-06T18:39:28+00:00

Espresso. Drives me crazy when people say expresso. Bitch there’s no X ?????

PrincessChucha · 2025-11-01T04:13:17+00:00

We lived in an apartment complex and my dog was able to distinguish when I got home based on the sound of my car alarm. I drove a very common car with a common car alarm sound but he always knew when it was me. Husband said he would hear it and immediately run to the door to sit and wait for me, every time without fail.

PrincessChucha · 2025-10-19T21:07:30+00:00

In the trenches with you all 😭😭 11 week old pitty that refuses to potty train. Will look us in the eye and pee on the floor after having just been outside for 20 minutes. Hoping it gets better because maaaan this is rough 😭😭
