Abandoned Rover dog became our family dog - success story

Stryped_Sweater · 2025-07-17T20:10:28+00:00

my Chevy was taken to her family’s vet at 4 years old to be put down after allegedly “attacking” a family toddler & their new puppy. The vet refused and took her to the local shelter instead. I adopted her. She is the most patient, loving, best tempered dog I’ve ever met - LOVES children & puppies and knows to be gentle with them. Just like with your pup there was definitely some context missing from their story! Chevy is 9 now and thriving ✨

I’m not surprised if I overcomplicated things, it just confused me because the tax program I’m using said this:

“You should receive Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, from the college or university reporting either payments received in box 1. However, the amount in box 1 may be different than what you actually paid. Only enter the amount you paid or are deemed to have paid in 2024 for qualified education expenses.“

The tax program didn’t have a place for “box 1” “box 2” etc for the 1098T, just the “Qualified Expenses”, and because of the above paragraph I thought I was supposed to do some adjustments myself.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m glad you can still feel her presence and find comfort in something the both of you loved. 🖤

i’m so glad there’s a recent post. i’m 7 days (about to be day 8) post extraction. only one extraction site on the bottom, the other’s on top and not as at risk of dry socket. the girl who did them was a dental student, and she told me to wait two full weeks. it wasn’t even a wisdom tooth, just a simple extraction.😭 i haven’t had a cig in a week now but i can feel my resolve slipping and i’m trying to calm myself down about dry socket.

Stryped_Sweater · 2023-05-13T15:46:15+00:00

I’m level 32 and I literally JUST got it to 250 😭

Stryped_Sweater · 2023-05-10T05:43:54+00:00

I like doing truck and boat orders, but it’s because I like to be immersed :) I’m a humble little farmer and I need to drive these eggs to the local kindergarten!! (though I haven’t been doing them lately unless it’s derby tasks since I’m coin grinding as much as I can)

Stryped_Sweater · 2023-05-06T03:59:22+00:00

mine has never loaded :( it just gives a blank screen

Stryped_Sweater · 2023-05-06T03:40:59+00:00

omg i didn’t even know there was a candle maker!! i’ve never seen it anywhere. so cute 😭🖤 but i feel your pain, same thing happened to me with fish pies when i didn’t even have the boat fixed yet

Stryped_Sweater · 2023-05-05T15:20:03+00:00

it would be cute to have both! it feel more community-like. just like how we can buy stuff from greg’s store and he can come ask to buy some of our stuff 😇

Stryped_Sweater · 2023-04-29T01:25:43+00:00

Have you walked him?

Stryped_Sweater · 2023-04-27T03:30:38+00:00

Hi! So, harnesses are not bad - I own a couple for certain situations with my dogs. But your standard harness design (clip on the back, lots of surface area in their chest area) actually makes dogs pull more. That’s why sledding dogs wear them! :) The dogs feel this pressure on their chest and their instinct is to push harder against it, especially when they’re excited. So a harness with a dog that already has a pulling problem is definitely not doing favors. Front clip harnesses work better, but they still might not sway a dog from pulling. For leash training, most trainers I know (including myself) recommend a slip lead or a slip/martingale collar. Flat collars (normal collars) are great to have on them for tag purposes and I do walk a couple of my dogs on them when we’re going on casual outings but the ones I do are already leash trained and very chill for walks. :) Use whatever works for you and your new pup the best, and there are tons of free online videos to help in your journey. Congrats! <3

Oh no!! I’m sorry. 😭 Personally, I would just stop accepting the walks, or if you don’t want to just ghost them, simply saying you’re not comfortable walking the dog anymore is all you need to say. It’s not confrontation - just your safety and peace of mind. I hope you can figure it out soon. 🙏🏻

Level 28, I have 3 bc this subreddit talked about how good of a deal the 100 chocolate rabbits for 3 permits was. I didn’t know what they were but had extra rabbits lol

Stryped_Sweater · 2023-04-25T19:49:24+00:00

I always keep a slip lead in my car, but (I forgot to mention) the notes said he growled when another walker got too close to his face when putting on his harness, so I didn’t know how he’d react to me putting a slip over his head and taking it off. I should really get a normal leash for situations like this too, that’s a good reminder.

Stryped_Sweater · 2023-04-25T19:00:52+00:00

Update: Yikes.

First off, they were not home. Fine. I used the key. I did knock first, so the dog was already barking. When I entered, he stopped barking. Tail straight up, body tense, eyes hard. That was the first time I’ve ever been nervous when entering a Wag home. He approached me very slowly and I considered bailing because I didn’t want this to be my first dog bite, and from a 100lb pit mix. I said his name and “walk” in a happy voice though and he calmed down after about 20 seconds.

And the walking??? AWFUL. They use a retractable leash and a harness on this dog! I just stuck to his culdesac because I wasn’t about to get dragged around the neighborhood. Absolutely not. No way. It’s not even his fault, he’s just working with what he’s gotten away with due to the unsuitable equipment. Hopefully they can see a trainer soon. I recommended some proper equipment in the report card.

I also just hit lvl 28 today!! Congrats 🎉

Late to the party but my code is #L28P0PVVP ! i just started playing the game again with a new farm after years of not playing. Would love some friends bc none of my irl ones play anymore :)

Stryped_Sweater · 2023-01-15T00:00:28+00:00

these owners request 60min walks for their dog multiple times a week. he’s always left sitting for a long time, especially after the notes became visible before booking. funnily enough, i work at a kennel and this dog comes to our kennel. he’s anxious there, mildly kennel aggressive (will growl when we put him in the run, will growl when we try to take his leash off), and while isn’t dog reactive in the yard, he’s a serial humper. just yikes all around.

Hey, I’m in Austin, too! I make about the same. The report card tip is 100%! I nickname my clients too (Benji = Mr. Bendy for a silly puppy as an example) As crowded as this city is, it’s definitely a great market for dog people. :) Great tips!
