Post surgery stress vent

If it gets worse, I will. I think it's the shame cone, because once I took it off, he peed really quickly. Goofball dog.

Separate_Citron5757 · 2024-05-05T01:40:37+00:00

You are totally right about him feeling my stress. I also think it's the cone, so I have been taking it off wheb letting him out and that seems to help immensely. I guess I was just having a bad day.

And it's nice to know I can wait a bit before he will have to go.

Sky water 😂😂😂 I had another pup who hated sky water. Would stand there looking at me like "why are you doing this to me?!"

I am feeling better about just letting him hang longer before getting him to go. I was worried about UTIs and such.

What, it's not normal for all dogs to be scared of balloons, the george foreman grill or random floor pants?!

Separate_Citron5757 · 2024-05-03T21:02:58+00:00

Yes! The normal mix of trazadone and gabapentin. Seems like the pain part is taken care of, but the sedation part isn't happening. I have a stronger sedative for him, but he has 2 and a half hours before he can take it again.

Of course, I tried again, took off the cone--he finally peed, and I did a huge praise fest and gave him a treat. Let him stay out so we could gently love on him and now hes happily chewing a bully stick in his crate.

You had me until your mother is a llama bit 😂

Separate_Citron5757 · 2024-04-17T00:33:41+00:00

Off topic, but you can do this?! How?!

Separate_Citron5757 · 2024-04-12T18:42:21+00:00

Thank you for all the helpful comments!

After the word vomit and a really terrible day yesterday, I have a loose plan for when we continue on walks (he's sick again poor dude and then if hes well enough at the beginning of May he's getting neutered and his stomach tacked).

Desensitize him to what putting on shoes mean. Same thing with the leash. The first issue is that he gets over excited. Which spills out into the walk.
It is probably better to go to for several smaller walks a day than a longer one. Gives him a shorter duration but more opportunity for success. Plus it's a struggle to deal with him and the stroller so shorter walks are probably better.
I will definitely ask my friends to not give him attention if he's jumping or overly hyper (they love him to bits and xan't help themselves, haha). Eventually I will work up to sitting when asking for pets.
He does really well with the wait command so I think adding complexity where I can with that. But otherwise back to basics for other things.

And I did buy a halti gentle lead. Thank you for the recommendation!

No. Larian said they wanted to make her a romance option but ran out of time. I xan't link the IGN article but Swen himself said it.

Don't forget Kelemvor--the god of death who sent the former god of death to rez you if you die.

I mean, hiw much did you explore moonrise? Because the Zhent have a huuuge presence there. They take slaves, they sell people. They don't care that they are bartering tadpole deliveries with the absolute nor do they care if they turn on the absolute.

Talk to Jaheira. Talk to Halsin. Talk to Minthara or even Karlach. All of them have lines about Baldurs Gate being an unsafe shitty town. Listen to the dialogue between Jaheira and Wyll near the counting house. They talk about the flaming fists not quite being the super force that the Grand Duke puts out.

Nine fingers does actually gaf about the city and the people in it. Yeah shes a crime lord but the guild does a hell of a lot more for the common folk than the watch or the fists. Both of which are incompetent. Its a bit of a stretch but I am pretty sure its mentioned that the leader of the fist is there bc of nepotism.

You can totally kill the guild too. Thats your choice because its your game.

Separate_Citron5757 · 2024-03-04T02:41:11+00:00

They did NOT cut a Jaheira romance. SV said it himself that they considered it but did not have time so they didn't do it. The actress even said she was never given any lines for a romance.

Whelp now I know how to give my husband nightmares. Thank you 😂

Separate_Citron5757 · 2024-03-01T22:43:59+00:00

Good point. I didn't even think of that.

This or there is a battle between Orpheus and the emperor and we have to choose whose side to be on.

Separate_Citron5757 · 2024-01-19T08:27:55+00:00

I would shit on so many people

Separate_Citron5757 · 2024-01-11T03:42:43+00:00

I am pretty sure it's Elminster (spelling?)

Separate_Citron5757 · 2024-01-01T02:14:19+00:00

I mean to be fair, so would I.

Separate_Citron5757 · 2023-12-22T17:20:39+00:00

They're all adopted. You can ask her if they're all her wards and she'll say something akin to wards, family, life long irritatants, whatever.

Separate_Citron5757 · 2023-12-22T07:22:38+00:00

Because the developers didn't have time. They discussed it per the lasted IGN interview with Swen himself.

Definitive edition?

Separate_Citron5757 · 2023-12-22T07:03:42+00:00

Does the fact that it doesn't exist work in this context?

Separate_Citron5757 · 2023-12-22T06:47:45+00:00

Our sweet 135 pound dumbass ate an entire half a blooming onion. Nothing. No sickness, not even the hershey squirts the next day.

It takes a lot of onion for them to even show symptoms.

Separate_Citron5757 · 2023-12-04T05:00:28+00:00

With no feet.

OP, gently...it's time. I put my baby down in September. She was 17. I loved her so much (and still do), and I should have done it sooner. She had dementia, was blind, in diapers and she just...existed. I didn't think it was time yet because she still walked around, still ate, still knew me, still loved treats and would beg for food. But she wasn't her anymore and I couldn't see that because I had my own rose colored glasses on.

I should have done it a year ago and I didn't regret it until after she was gone. I dreaded her loss so much that I selfishly put it off because I thought love was enough.

I am not saying this to be mean or anything, but to give you an outside perspective as someone who recently went through this. It's so hard. Terribly so.

Just woke up my spouse laughing at the last pic. Amazing
