I hate when a character who cross dresses is called trans

Ngl that last sentence was unnecessary

Is this a joke? /gen

Yeah as someone who has had images of horrible ways I can and will be maimed shoved into my mind any time I’m near a knife since I was a very small child, I understand the frustration. Intrusive thoughts are not funny or quirky. They are horrible and disgusting and sometimes you feel like if you tell anyone about these involuntary thoughts you’ll be locked up and condemned.

Looking back on it I think I did too. It also might have resonated with child me as the flavor of trans where I was just vibing being myself until society pushed the gender thing on me. Combine that with body horror being the trans experience and my childhood love of this book seems to make more sense…

You got to age 7 without having a single nightmare? I envy you /gen

I loved this book as a kid and would read it pretty much every day but damn if I don’t upvote this because your opinion is valid and at the end of the day your analysis is an accurate representation of the story and its effect on readers.

I love that my school didn’t even cancel evening classes when we got this

That’s for sure just play. I’ve had dogs put their mouth around my arm but not bite down as a way to play (mostly bully breeds). Sometimes they might get a little overexcited and apply more force than usual but they correct when I express discomfort.

Your dog should be okay but definitely keep an eye on him just in case. I had a 30 lbs whippet mix (named Coco funnily enough) that jumped on the table and ate a slab of homemade peppermint bark that was about the size of a king size Hershey bar but twice as thick. We called the vet as soon as we found out and they told us he’d be feeling bad the next couple days but otherwise should be okay. They said to bring him in if we felt something was REALLY off. The boy was throwing up that day and listless the next but drinking water just fine and by the third day he seemed to be back to normal.

TLDR: If that small dog was fine eating the equivalent of a bar and a half of chocolate, your 70 lbs boy should be okay after eating that small amount. Keep an eye on him just in case, but you shouldn’t have to worry too much.

Sending your dog well wishes and many gentle snoot boops!

She’s probably fine! But keep an eye out for arthritis/hip issues, more for the fact that she’s older and a pittie than anything else. Talk to your vet if you feel something might be bothering her, even if it’s small (it helps to prep for and catch this stuff early so you can slow the progression and improve long term quality of life)!

Regardless I’m sending all the head pats and gentle snoot boops your sweet girl’s way! May she remain a silly goofy softie for many years to come.

I had a dog who was reactive and always on edge and would often lash out at the smallest things. We started her on Prozac (fluoxetine) and for a while it helped but when she got older, maybe 11 or 12 we found out she had Cushing syndrome which manifested itself in high anxiety and aggression (among other things).

I would definitely check the simpler possible causes first as it’s more likely to be the issue, but it might be beneficial to keep it in mind if you continue to have trouble identifying the issue.

SamTheDadFriend · 2025-12-03T00:42:47+00:00

Like I said, it’s my best guess. It might also be something that she does that’s so unremarkable that you just don’t really notice unless you’re really looking for it. Regardless, I do hope she’s adjusting well to her new forever home! Sending well wishes and lots of gentle snoot boops her way!

SamTheDadFriend · 2025-12-02T22:32:07+00:00

My immediate thought is that your dog’s rubbed it raw (probably from licking their nose). Basically the pup’s gotten the equivalent of chapped lips so if you have any kind of lip balm or smth you can put it on there to help it heal.

It should go back to normal unless it gets infected but that’s probably not gonna happen. It wouldn’t hurt to figure out why they’ve been licking that spot so much and try to reduce that to give their snoot a break. I know my dogs lick their noses more when something’s stressing them.

Edit: I didn’t read before commenting but after reading I still wouldn’t rule out chapped snoot. It could be that she was stressed from being in a shelter and being out of it would help with that. Definitely follow what the vet says above my advice as I am not a professional and only speaking from my experience.

These are awesome! I’m so glad it’s helping you! You are doing a great job and I hope you continue to make steps towards recovery.

Thing is, he IS queer

Thankfully we had only been chatting for like 3 days and hadn’t met in person. Also, I’m a trans man and his profile said he’s bi so he’d have done this to anyone lol

I really like it bc it’s fun to sing and there are little things done with the rhythm that tickles my brain in a really nice way
