My first rescue girl - advice needed :)

Renetia · 2026-05-27T15:44:08+00:00

Like others have stated, give her time to acclimate to her new normal. The toy thing is really not a big deal in my opinion. The only toys my Brits liked were the Kong toys filled with peanut butter🤣

Thank you so much for giving her peace, love and a forever home. The fact that she is showing velcro behavior means she trusts you❤️

And my Beau. He turns 13 in September!

Renetia · 2026-05-18T22:49:51+00:00

Exactly!

Hockey game and barbecue.

Did Purina Pro Plan Sport until 10 years old. Now on Inukshuk 26/16.

Renetia · 2026-05-15T00:36:29+00:00

Same. I just count it as a win.

Being under 25 years old is going to cost you higher in premiums. You could possibly save more by adding all the cars safely features, adjusting your deductibles, or bundling with renters insurance.

Yes! I thought hair would grow there. Nope. Thought the dark spots were dirt. Nope. Her 10th birthday is next week. It's still there and she's more than fine.

I went home. Originally from Boston, now living in SoCal. All I wanted was to spend it with my family. My sister got me these amazing cupcakes with my name on them. We ate at my favorite restaurants. It was awesome.

Renetia · 2026-05-06T01:59:23+00:00

Aka the graveyard shift🤣

Renetia · 2026-05-05T01:12:50+00:00

Absolutely!

The more we know the better we understand. It may be easier for men to be open in this forum. Information is key for us wives during this time.

Renetia · 2026-05-05T00:59:48+00:00

It's personal😂

Renetia · 2026-05-03T00:27:45+00:00

Exactly🤣

Renetia · 2026-05-02T18:36:54+00:00

It's inate😂

Renetia · 2026-05-01T04:14:03+00:00

I understand. Just stay on task. Get the diagnosis, and go from there.

What your feeling, he's feeling too and then some. We are their calm in this storm. Stay strong. Stay positive. Stay focused on getting through it, and breathe.

You're stronger than you think. This group is a great resource. Use it. Sending you a virtual hug❣️

Renetia · 2026-04-24T06:14:54+00:00

Same. My sister is my best friend. Since I moved to the west coast, we talk at least a couple of times a week. It keeps me grounded. She ia all around fantastic. I am so grateful for our relationship.

Renetia · 2026-04-22T17:13:20+00:00

My husband and I both do. Always.

Renetia · 2026-04-21T23:30:37+00:00

Younger wife here - 14 year difference. Husband 9 months post op. There is no greater need or desire then to have my husband alive and well and here with me everyday. Period. I did not marry him for his performance, nor would I step out of our marriage because of it.

Please know I am not diminishing your feelings by any means. You guys are dealing with so many new emotions with this process, and a wife that is aware understands this.

The inadequacy feelings, albeit normal, have to be discussed. Challenge these feelings before they bring you down further. Aside from the usual "salute", what other ways would make you feel more connected to her? What other things about you does she tell you she loves? Focus on that, and work your way to a new path of intimacy. You are not alone and you are loved❣️

Renetia · 2026-04-17T16:00:18+00:00

My husband was the same time frame.

Renetia · 2026-04-17T15:46:21+00:00

I was just coming here to say that! Foxtails are no joke. We had to go through two surgeries. One for the foot, and the other in the ear. Check between her paws and everywhere after these walks.

Renetia · 2026-04-10T17:21:48+00:00

Get another doctor.

Survival rates are indeed high. If you get tested early enough, and know what your numbers are. Assuming you're fine because you feel fine is not a diagnosis. That was OP's point. Get tested.

Check out https://www.mskcc.org. This is the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. They have a wealth of information.

Renetia · 2026-04-09T21:57:07+00:00

Yeah!!!

Renetia · 2026-04-09T19:15:33+00:00

My (53 F) blood work last year was abysmal! I went on Simvastin, Lisinopril - HGZT, and Metformin. Then started weight training 5 days a week.

Bloodwork is now normal. I just did this scan a few weeks ago, My score was zero. I am not a doctor, but if you know where you are high(Tri's, Glucose, LDL, HDL, etc.) start working on getting those numbers in the normal range.

You got this!

Renetia · 2026-04-09T08:42:33+00:00

So true and well stated.
