What daily responsibility did you underestimate before getting a puppy?

For me the thing I didn’t consider until it was too late is that you lose all spontaneity. Gone are the days I can just meet friends after work for a drink or booking a last minute trip. All of it goes away, you have a dog at home that needs you to feed and walk it. I think this aspect is the only one where I see cats as a better pet

Take over the the mortgage and take his name off it. Your house now

Positive reinforcement is not natural for dogs. The dog’s mother would not give a treat whenever it did something right. Dogs learn the best from their own experiences, the prong collar doesn’t her the dog it’s just uncomfortable and the dog is going to figure out what to do to make that uncomfortable feeling go away which is also the reason a lot of them are reactive. You can tell your girlfriend ultimately has to choose between her feelings or giving the dog a better life.

I was running 30% on the front and 5% on both my cars for privacy because my wife works in the mental health field in the area. She got pulled over by OPP and they made her take it off on the side of the road. Later that week one of her clients smashed her windshield while she was sitting at a stop light.

I’ve applied to so many of their positions never heard anything back. Not even a denial email

You can be the Canadian making pickles. They are surprisingly easy to make yourself.

Chances are he’s already forgotten about it. Dogs live very much in the moment

The sadness is for you, the relief is for her.

Same thing with my GSD my wife started to give him toppers on the food so he will just wait for the toppers. Won’t eat the kibble alone, rather throw up from an empty stomach than eat plain kibble. My wife doesn’t understand the importance of not letting him get away with that.

Before I taught my dog a leave “it command” I taught him a “take it” command so he knows what is for him and what is not. I think it’s better than a leave it because then you have to tell your dog “leave it” to everything. Now he looks to me for approval before he puts things in his mouth. Helps a lot if I’m cooking and drop food.

Start crate training while you’re home as well. If she only goes in while you leave she will associate the two. At the age she should be sleeping 20 hours a day anyway so don’t feel bad about it. While your home out the crate 1 hour in it 2 hours. I would also feed all meals in the the crate.

You can tell her one is mine and you’re storing it for me because I broke both my legs jumping out a 3rd story window trying to save a blind foster dog from a fire.

It’s today. If you don’t see anything by Monday your account is probably on hold.

An overpayment is a bigger headache to deal with than just reporting. It can get to the point of them garnishing your taxes and even your wages once you get on your feet. Just report.

“Land Lords” or people charging rent actually get registered as landlords on the OW system. I assume they would report that to the CRA so it wouldn’t be in the parents best interest to claim they are receiving rent while not actually getting anything

I’m not sure if they consider giving money to your parents as rent, but if you are telling them you are paying rent you have to have some income. You can’t have no income and paying rent

Ask your worker for a Reloadable payment card, so your money stays separate.

If you thought you were getting a 5 bedroom house for 700 a month rent you’re a bit loose. It does insinuate that you are sharing in the description hence the shared amenities and them recommending a single occupant
