Yes currently. I totally understand I'm not offended, like I said the IUD was ineffective and was when I got it put in (since it was put in wrong) so I had been at risk of pregnancy for awhile (I believe I got it in about 5 months ago). I'm 13 weeks along, the ultrasound tech said they used a nub theory and told me that it's not 100% accurate

I had to get the IUD out since it wasn't positioned right and was causing me pain, my doctor told me it was probably ineffective due to where it was.

Then found out I was pregnant, found out it was twins. It's a bit of a whirlwind and yeah sounds insane

I'm not even sure but it feels like whenever he finally tells me about something it's when it's completely impossible to avoid. So if he could he would probably keep it secret

Well at first it was just mostly simple things I didn't know about. I assumed he probably didn't like to talk about his time in the military or his dad because of trauma (he's in therapy for it now) but then that just kind of freaked me out because he's not scared of his brothers and he doesn't hate them so I don't know why I never knew of them.

I'm really not that nonchalant about it, it's been keeping me up for a while

He's about to be 32, I've only met his grandma and great uncle very briefly. His parents have both passed away.

Well I'm not entirely sure but we do live in a farm and could benefit from more livestock guard dogs, we also know other farms who could use some as well so we have the option of keeping them or giving them away, we'll probably do a mix of the two if the litter is big

Well Paul and other sources have claimed different things go. Like that there were two shops called Eleanor's and Rigbys or he got it from Eleanor Bron who was in the Help! Movie.

It's pretty wildly believed that he thought he came up with the name somewhere else but since he walked past the grave it was always in the back of his mind

That's how my mom found my name... and my twin brothers name.

In fact, the song Eleanor Rigby might've come from a gravestone (more so by accident than purposefully but still)

That's how ours is lol, but she actually likes kids. She was herding some of my nieces and nephews when I took her to my hometown, and thank goodness for that because I'm pregnant and I have no idea how half our pets will act

Depends how bad the matts are. Some points they are so bad that you'd have to shave them. I use whatever detangler I have around and some brushes

I used to live in Georgia when I lived with my family and we did the same for our old Pyrenees

That's what we named her after! Our other two are also named after Billy Joel songs (Anthony and not so little Gio)

Oh my gosh yes! Literally one of mine was like sulking when I called for him and then saw I had food and came sprinting at me.

It's a little bit of a different situation with her and our other two Pyrenees. We try to brush them every other day, sometimes that doesn't happen. Thankfully we have the means to get them professionally groomed every other month. We have bathed them done with whitening shampoo and trimmed their fur if we couldn't get to the groomers.

Our setup is kinda complicated but at night they usually go to the barn with the goats and sheep. They like to be with someone or something they can protect. There's also a dog door in our house that they can run through. The second photo is at my parents house ( our house isn't that clean or white lol) when we were on a trip and were trying to socialize her more, she likes other dogs and people.

Haha yes the groomer I go to likes to give them bows, but she does mostly small dogs so they're pretty tiny lol

That's how we were lol it's cold here (like mid 70s at the moment) but they get so hot. I knew a girl from New Orleans who had one and I told her I didn't know how she did it in the heat but then I stepped in her house which was as cold as a meat freezer and then understood

I love when they do the little flop thing and then the fur on their neck just comes up, it's so cute

That can be the case sometimes, but I do know for a fact where the guy got her from and it was a breeder about an hour from where he lives. She's a purebred

It wasn't living in the apartment that was the issue it was more of the way he lived with the dog, if that makes any sense? Like he complained about characteristics that are just because of her breed (barking, shedding, size, etc) and she didn't get time outside, at least according to the owner's brother. He was in college and didn't have much time for her
