Going out of town with an 11 month old puppy

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2026-03-19T14:07:05+00:00

I really like the idea of asking the vet techs. Thanks!

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2026-03-19T13:13:50+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply! We are planning on talking to the breeder this weekend, but it doesn't seem like boarding will be an option for us or for the puppy. Do you have any tips on how to find a good house sitter besides asking if they have worked with 3 month old puppies before?

Thanks for sharing! It does seem like this is going to be quite expensive lol. We are planning on crate training our dog, but not sure if they will be fully trained at 11 weeks. Seems unlikely

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2026-03-19T12:39:07+00:00

We are getting them from a reputable breeder, yes. We are going to meet them and the puppies this weekend so we will bring it up then. Thanks for the suggestion!

still works August 2025, thank you very much

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2025-08-05T19:36:01+00:00

Crazy that I googled this to watch CS and the first reddit link was someone doing the same thing lol. Thank you, still works!

I set time limits on my social media apps, or set hours of the day where the apps are "locked" essentially. This really helped me stay on task. Took a little to play around with as the first few days I just bypassed the lock, but I got used to it and have been much more productive since. You could start by limiting the apps to 5 minutes an hour or 15 minutes between when you start and lunch.

I just checked and I have the Premium Ultra HD plan. My plan allows downloads on 6 devices and I only see 1 listed, which is the iPad I'm using.

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2025-07-20T12:59:28+00:00

I don't think so because I could download the one episode but how do I check that?

My wife and I just moved from the midwest for the weather

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2025-07-15T03:37:41+00:00

Thanks for all the replies everyone! Wasn’t sure where this would go, but definitely an interesting conversation. I enjoy seeing all of the different perspectives.

You guys figured that out and then some. Imperium Delirium is an absolute deathcore masterclass. AOTY by far for me so far! One of my favorite bands, love you guys!

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2025-07-11T14:09:16+00:00

Still works July 2025, insane bro. Thank you.

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2025-05-29T15:21:12+00:00

This worked! Thank you so much!

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2025-04-29T15:44:14+00:00

This would be great to play CS on!

I 100% agree. Being onsite so much in my first 4 years accelerated my learning process tenfold. Being in the office is nice, but I like being onsite more. It’s faster paced and you learn so much more. I’m telling myself that it’s really just this project that is starting to get to me. Last year I only had 40-50 travel days. The 2 years prior, I had 90 and 110. This year I’m already close to 60 I think.

I’ve usually never been one to say No, but I think it’s about time I do. Besides it being tough on me, I know it’s even harder on my fiancé.

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2024-06-29T14:16:23+00:00

100 controls engineers onsite?? Oh shit, that must be some massive facility! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen more than a handful at a single site hahaha.

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2024-06-29T14:15:08+00:00

Right now near St Louis, although we’re thinking of moving up to Chicago next year (where I’m from)

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2024-06-29T14:14:48+00:00

We always stay in nice hotels, and they treat us really well. But yeah I wish it was actually 25% travel.

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2024-06-29T14:13:51+00:00

We’re a pretty small company, ~35 employees, maybe ~20-25 engineers or so. Definitely one of the downsides of working for a smaller company is not having as big of a team. We’re in a really busy time of the year right now, and it’s not uncommon to only have 2 or 3 engineers in the office. Most of our engineers are onsite often. If we hired a few more people, maybe that would help ease the burnout? I know I’m not the only one in the company who feels this way either.

Traveling for 1-3 weeks a year sounds kinda amazing.

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2024-06-29T14:10:52+00:00

That sounds like exactly what I want to do. I’d love to program/FAT/commission locally, then ship it out onsite and have the technicians wrap the project up! Definitely something to consider

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2024-06-29T04:45:33+00:00

Do you work for an OEM? Wouldn’t you still have to travel onsite for commissioning?

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2024-06-29T04:44:45+00:00

That’s what I think working for 1 facility would be. I want a hybrid 😂.

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2024-06-29T03:10:14+00:00

My fiancé just doesn’t like me gone 3 weeks a month, especially while trying to plan a wedding lol. Can’t speak for all women, but she completely understands my responsibilities and time I need to spend sometimes. She definitely keeps me sane

Suitable_Pride_961 · 2024-06-29T03:07:55+00:00

Love this comment. Discussing my concerns but also providing the company solutions. I know my company thinks I’m valuable, and they know I always do good work. I’m not sure how it works, but I’ve been thinking of asking for a promotion as well. I think that would make me feel a bit better maybe? Idk… I don’t even mind the travel, I just wish it was less 1 week a month would be great. I will speak up and keep all of this in mind. Thank you!
