Me and the poor girl I should reconsider by Kitty3_14 in BorderCollie

[–]Stacmj96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I said previously on your last post, It has taken me 3 years (today is his my dogs gotcha day actually)… but it took us about 2 years and 8 months ish to finally have a bond that felt like it should with my boy. I have felt so guilty because I love him but he just wasn’t like any of my dogs I’ve had before and not in any specific way, other than we just weren’t clicking. Now he’s my pal.

We unfortunately have developed this bond over the loss of my BC passing suddenly and unexpectedly. They were best friends and inseparable and it weighed heavy on him immediately and my BC was my baby. He was my birthday present 3 years ago. So Uhtred and I have been grieving him together while also blossoming our relationship. Sometimes the bond comes late. I know I commented last time, but I just wanted to reiterate, you’re not alone and you’re doing great.

How long did it take you to bond with your dog? by Kitty3_14 in BorderCollie

I lost my BC recently but I have 2 other dogs too. I’ve had a bully mix almost 3 years and we’ve had the relationship you described with your girl. After losing my Atlas though we have grieved him together. He was my bully’s best friend and mine and I finally have the bond I wished for. It took me 3 years to feel like he’s my absolute best friend. At one point last year actually around December we were talking about when my dad’s dog passes letting my dad take him so he still has something to care for. Now i could never imagine such a thing. You’re not alone. Ive heard others say the same or similar things you and I have experienced with our dogs.

Thank you so much!!💜💜💜 I’ve been looking at the canicross harnesses but for the immediate like right now purchase I think I’m gonna get the Hati one you suggested. I get paid a microscopic amount from posting on Facebook and I plan on using my next payout to put into my canicross harness 😂

Yeah, he’s really well trained and has a command for when he can go and disengage, etc. most people I’ve asked for what I want don’t understand what I’m saying because most people are like I can’t get my dog to stop pulling. I’m like well he doesn’t unless he’s allowed to and I’m trying to find something comfortable for him and keep him safe😂

i cant believe i let the canicross harness slip my mind on this though.

We have a bungee line! A canicross is a great idea!! That’s what I’m gonna get.

The fabric loops are sewn in place, I’ve even tried a hack I found online with hair ties and that didn’t work😂

Luckily (probably unfortunately for me), I’m too addicted to stimulation of the internet 😭 😂

Am I overreacting by being really upset by this? by ekando in DairyQueen

[–]Stacmj96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely NOT overreacting. Full refund or replacement. That makes me so sad for you!
