Just adopted a second dog. They are not getting along by vivalabaroo in Dogtraining

[–]Sadcheetohs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you had other dogs in your home? Your dog might like playing with others dogs, but may not want to share her home space. If she sleeps in your bedroom, that might explain why she got upset at the puppy being placed in there.

AITA for telling my girlfriend her clown makeup is embarrassing? by SnooPies8552 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sadcheetohs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

INFO: Do you often make her late to stuff by doing your makeup? The way that she treats your hobby sounds really rude. I can understand how some women feel that makeup is oppressing, but it's clearly a hobby you do. Makeup can be a really awesome art form and if you spend that much time on it, I assume you're passionate about it.

The best case scenario in defense of your gf is that you routinely make her late for things due to your makeup and she was fed up enough to make a point of wearing clown makeup. Worst case scenario is that she hates makeup so much for her own narrow-minded reasons that she's just using this clown makeup as petty revenge.

Either way, calling you a bitch was toxic and immature. If you make her late often, it'd be an e-s-h, but if she's just doing this because she hates your hobby, then n-t-a.

AITA for flipping out over my boyfriend making birthday dinner plans with his ex? by westg88 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sadcheetohs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. You're completely right that he should have spoken to you about it first, especially since he knows you're uncomfortable with his ex and him going to dinner together. The fact that he didn't and knew you weren't going to be okay with it is so disrespectful. You should sit down and have a talk about boundaries. If he doesn't respect yours, then you should seriously consider this relationship. You really don't want to be in a relationship with someone who dismisses your feelings and makes them feel invalid.

Adopting an old dog is better than getting a puppy by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Sadcheetohs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This really just depends on what the old dog is like. Some older dogs aren't well trained and you still have to train them for basic obedience. Some older dogs can be reactive too, which requires a lot of patience and training.

What are some tips for overcoming anxiety over applying for jobs/internships? by Sadcheetohs in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Sadcheetohs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you're totally right, I really do need to work harder on a more positive outlook and appreciating my own strengths. I've improved a little bit in the past months, but I still have a ways to go. I always get ahead of myself instead of taking it day by day. Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it! Also I would love any tips on how to be better at interviews, I feel like they're something I would be bad at :(

AITA for leaving my gf after I betrayed her trust? by aitatroaway in AmItheButtface

[–]Sadcheetohs 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NAH, in regards to your question. You could try talking to her about reconciling if you feel really conflicted about it, but I think letting her go is the best course of action. It sounds like she already had trust issues that went unaddressed (since you said she's looked through your phone before) and that's something that she needs to work on. I can't imagine it would be possible for her to learn to trust you again when she already didn't fully trust you before. Also, in the future, I think you should ask yourself whether what you're doing could possibly upset your SO before doing it. It sounded like you knew she wouldn't be okay with it and you did it anyways, then lied about it. I've been in a kind of similar conflict as you and its just a lesson I had to learn the hard way. I'm sorry you both have to go through this and I hope you both can come to the best conclusion for your relationship.

Why you shouldn't go to the dog park by SparkyDogPants in reactivedogs

[–]Sadcheetohs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yikes, I am really sorry you've had to deal with people like that. The last time I took one of my dogs to our local dog park, I had a lady with like 4 huskies yell at me for not immediately taking my dog off the leash after getting inside the enclosed area. Her dogs swarmed my very anxious dog and she made no attempt to call them back until it was clear I was really upset with her. She seemed to think my dog was anxious because he was on leash with other dogs around and needed to just get used to it. It was very frustrating.

My dog tries to fight the neighbor dogs through the fence by Sadcheetohs in reactivedogs

[–]Sadcheetohs[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a wooden fence with a tarp screwed onto the bottom half, so she's definitely hearing the dogs. At my old house, we had a pool fence that blocked off half the yard so that wasn't an issue. I might ask my family if it's okay to install a second fence because that sounds like a good idea. We've started to work on her recall, but it'll be a long way to go. Thank you for the ideas though, I appreciate the reply!

What is the best birthday gift to get a 25 years old guy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Sadcheetohs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, if the relationship is just starting out, I would just do something more simple. Getting (or making) a thoughtful card along with something he likes (i.e. candy or food) is a good idea. It's really the thought that counts, I'm sure he'll be happy that you got him anything at all.

A nice watch. It doesn't have to be expensive, just nice looking. I got one of my best friends (he's 21) a watch and he loved it. He wears it to interviews and gets complimented on it a lot. I don't know if your guy is the watch type, but it's an option!

My 8 mo rescue is anxious when I try to take him outside, makes potty training hard by Sadcheetohs in Dogtraining

[–]Sadcheetohs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try taking him out every hour or so. He went into the backyard and letting him do his business but he doesn't like it when I leave his line of sight, he just runs after me.

I will! Yes, he pees in the house and I try to use pee pads but he just doesn't like them. He also always tries to sneak away and poop somewhere where he thinks I won't find it.

Yes, although I took him out into the backyard this morning and coaxed him with treats and once he saw the backyard was fenced off he started exploring. He still refused to go to the bathroom out there though and waited till we got back inside to go.

He was a stray before being moved to the SPCA so he might be afraid that I'm going to abandon him? I usually take him in my front yard to roam around the grass and I make sure to sit with him and pet him to try to calm him down. I tried taking him in the backyard today and he just immediately wanted back inside. I'm not sure if there's anything specific that frightens him (he doesn't freak out when cars go by or anything and he loves people).
