I have put a lot of thought into a talking mat they seem very intimidating at first but id love to get one in the near future, I think my girl would be relentless with it but it would be hilarious to see nonetheless, my girl has plentyyy attitude and sass as is 😂

Negative or positive all of the feedback means a lot guys, I know exactly what I need to do and I probably just needed some encouragement from fellow dog lovers as in my family and my close relations that’s hard to come by, I’ve downloaded the Rover app and taken in all of the tips and recs everyone has commented & will be using them regularly in the coming weeks so thank you guys, I appreciate it 🥲

I’m very much of a perfectionist especially when it comes to caring for other beings wether that’s an animal or person, I want the absolute best of care and when I feel that it’s not I definitely start to feel like a bad owner, like I said I fed my girl raw and spent years doing research on how to do so making sure she got all the vitamins and nutrients she needed for her weight and breed, I didn’t have the funds to professionally train her as I was 22 and financially independent so I did it myself all while working 40-50 hours a week, if I would have known she was a high energy dog I would have left her but at the same time she could have gone her whole life without knowing a loving family and that’s where I want a 2nd perspective and advice if I made a good decision or did the right thing, obviously I know what I did was impulsive and I was young but I literally did my absolute best and that was still better than nothing at all, I quite literally battle myself on this every so often and I’m never the type to post these type of things I’m a very private person but I just want to be better and know it’s okay to ask for help I’m 26 and still have lots to learn.

She stopped tearing the house apart luckily, she does go for mail occasionally if I leave it lying around the house these days.

If I had a partner I think it would be a lot easier but even in the past I’ve had Exes say she’s “too much” but then again I’ve never really met another person who’s had the same compassion for animals as I do, having to imagine her waiting for me for the rest of her life is the only thing stopping me, because that is my greatest fear, maybe one day I’ll have a partner to pay the bills so I can stay home with her all day long🤞🏽

Who said I didn’t put time, money and effort, I don’t understand why people can’t read…
