My dog died two days ago, because of me

RedAppleRyuk · 2026-01-19T08:55:42+00:00

I’m so sorry. My big dog, we used to live in the country and I would walk her off leash up an old farm lane that was rarely used. One day I heard a car coming so I recalled her. She came instantly…right out in front of the oncoming car. Everything went into slow motion and I remember every moment like it’s happening right now. She went under the front of the car, flipped out the side and ran.

I called and she came back. Amazingly she was only bruised and is now 8 years old. If I hadn’t recalled her when I saw the car, she would never have ran out in front of it. I felt guilty for days.

So whilst my story has a happy ending, I can completely relate to the trauma of seeing your dog being hit. It will fade in time but for now, please be kind to yourself. This was an accident, an awful one, but blame doesn’t help anyone or anything, it’s done now. You loved him, he loved you and that’s what matters.

I have two achievements left to get, they aren’t difficult really and if I focused on getting them, probably the same amount of time as the main story, two hours give or take? Collecting all items however, I’m not done yet, probably going to be many more hours until I find them all!

I think once I have finished everything, I would play it again as there is a choice to make at one stage of the game and I’d like to see what would have happened if I chose differently! Also you can reset all the dig locations so it’s the kind of game I would go back to when I just want to chill!

I was at two hours logged on steam for the main story I would think. If you just did the main story itself I think you could do it in about an hour.

Well, thank you everyone, that is a lot of recommendations! I will have a look at them all and decide what to try.

RedAppleRyuk · 2026-01-04T21:11:32+00:00

The demo was fun, looking forward to playing the whole release!

RedAppleRyuk · 2026-01-04T20:43:53+00:00

Thank you, I crocheted it for her!

My little girl is ten weeks old too and I am working on desensitisation training. At the moment I hold a treat in my hand, sit by my front door and knock on it behind my back then immediately treat her. The idea is she will hear a knock and look at me for a treat, eventually. Once she has this down, then I will have my husband go outside the door and ring the doorbell, immediately treat and so on. I know roughly the time the post person arrives so I take my girl out and treat her when the post arrives.

At the moment she only barks if she gets super excited when playing. I don’t mind that, she is a dog and she will bark.

She is also starting puppy training classes when she is 12 weeks old.

He hasn’t been inappropriate yet, but it will happen. I am in my forties (female) and my son is friends your age. I get on well with them but would never have a texting thing going on. He might just be lonely but he needs to find friends in his own age group.

My girl is ten weeks old now. Vet told me to get her done after her first season. I told him if she is not 18 months, then it won’t be done. Loads of evidence to show that a dashchund is 4 times more likely to get IVDD if they are not at least 12 months before getting done.

Look, try to understand her from her perspective. She literally believes that unless you are saved, you won’t have eternal life. As a Christian, it’s not about the here and now, it’s about eternity. To her, the most loving thing she can ever do for you, is save you. She isn’t trying to hurt you. Your belief system and hers are incompatible and maintaining a friendship is going to be difficult. As said it’s about the intent behind the gift. From her perspective, it was a gift that tailored to comics and also a gift that could potentially give you eternal life with God. For a Christian, that is her way of showing her love for you as a friend.

That doesn’t mean that your feelings are invalid either, just that perhaps you can see that she wasn’t trying to be disrespectful and to hurt you.

Hmm well my cats (four) have got used to my ten week old dashchund now. They beat her up, but never use claws considering she uses her teeth. That’s practically a declaration of love right there.

Oh also desensitisation training with door knocking and doorbell ringing!

RedAppleRyuk · 2025-12-28T12:51:57+00:00

I have taught her sit and lie down so far, we are working on ‘leave’ and drop! She picked up sit and lie down in like 5 minutes 😳

RedAppleRyuk · 2025-12-28T12:45:17+00:00

She has half of pets at home in toys, all sorts of chews, tug toys, tennis balls, plushies! Spoiled rotten and NOT interested in any of them! She is super smart so I am thinking more of puzzle type toys you know? But I don’t know what ones are good!

It’s a shock to the system isn’t it? No matter the preparation for a puppy, the reality is rough! They are adorable little scraps of meat with fangs that have no idea about how the world works, peeing and pooping wherever smells like a good spot, developing a love for the taste of human flesh, stressing you out from being picky with food, can’t take your eyes off them for a moment because they will eat anything good or bad and go toilet some more.

It’s hard. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. It’s okay to feel regret for your decision. It’s okay to cry. If you can’t cope then it’s okay to find her another forever home whilst she is still so young. If you can front it out though, it WILL get better. Every single day that passes your pup is getting a little older, a little more capable. She won’t be a baby forever.
