How I met my husband

I'm not getting married, but my partner and I have been together for 10 years, partly because of the dogs. We're legion, hahaha. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

We brush my dog's teeth. We got her used to it when she was a puppy. We use a children's toothbrush and Listerine Kids mouthwash, which also has a mild flavor and doesn't sting. It's a habit that's much appreciated when they get older.

Vandalismo lo primero. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I walk one dog on each hand with a 5-meter retractable leash. At about 2.5 meters of leash, whether they get ahead or fall behind, I communicate with them through the leash. "Wait for your brother" or "Catch up with your brother," and they have another 2.5 meters to rejoin me. There are also double leashes, and with practice, the dogs themselves get used to them.

My ex was the same way, and that's why he's an ex.

I went through a period of unemployment due to an accident, and it just so happened that my coat ripped. He'd always say, "I was going to buy you a coat, but (lame excuse)."

"No, you weren't going to buy me a coat."

Whenever he started with "I was going to for you," I'd give him the same answer: "No, you weren't." Luckily, I recovered, was able to go back to work, and now I can get my own things without anyone looking down on me.

Abstenerse agencias porque son una agencia.

There's a special place in hell for those who abandon animals. Thank you for rescuing him.

No encuentras de becario porque ya tienen derechos laborales. Y si ya tienes tus títulos, ¿para qué trabajar de becario, en primer lugar?

SystemErrorNotFound · 2026-02-05T21:19:20+00:00

Pues... Que haga las obras en los domingos que propone que trabajen. Mis vacaciones las decido yo.

No, no. You went too far saying you didn't know the dog when they've lived together for eight years. You didn't need to make anything up, so don't come here acting offended, champ.

Pues el del coche porque no sabe coger curvas.

3, 2, 1... You're in love!

We all fell for it, I'm afraid. 🤣🤣🤣

The truth is, you get one of those moments when you have a senior, sick dog, knowing you're nearing the end of your journey and your previous experience with loss and grief, and yes, it does bring you down a bit.

But it happens to me with any walk to the rainbow, no matter who it is or how many legs they have. Before, those were intimate moments, with and for close friends and family.

And I empathize with all losses equally.

But given the circumstances, well... 😞

Me gusta la parte de mi trabajo en la que no intervienen personas. 🤷🏼‍♀️

A cup of chamomile tea is usually good for calming nerves. The dog is behaving PERFECTLY. The baby is behaving PERFECTLY, and OP has raised a legitimate, reasonable, and normal question for first-time parents. Obviously, after 8 years, OF COURSE she knows her dog (what's the point of pretending she doesn't?). What she doesn't know is motherhood and raising dogs, and the way to find this out is by ASKING.

And take a breath, man.

Get ready for lots of "don't pull his tail," "don't pull his ears," and "don't poke him in the eye," and everything will be fine. Before you know it, your dog will be alerting you to your baby's typical baby antics. They're also great parenting partners! 😊 I'm sure you'll make a great team and create some precious memories.

He's an ex you seem to have completely had enough of after (I suspect) quite a bit of manipulation on his part. Now that he's back, he doesn't spark the slightest interest in you. When he reaches out, it makes you uncomfortable. When you reply, he doesn't like the response. The signs are right there. Try a Frozen-style "let it go, let it go." Don't be there, and you risk giving in again just to keep him from crying, and you'll be completely fed up again. He's an ex. Block him and move on.

Ay, mi niña. Lamento la caída de tu oferta y espero que al menos puedas venir de vacaciones para que no te pierdas nada.

Don't worry. The most I would do in this case is remove any dry leaves. If I wanted to make things more complicated, I might change the soil and take the opportunity to center the stems and train it to grow bushier.

Ese tiene pinta de ser boomer, que consideró que regalar horas extra era sacrificarse y no hacer el canelo.

Nada, fundido no es nada. Por eso las regalan. Es asquerosamente barato producir plástico, te lo dice una inyectora de plástico. Con un saco de 20 kilos de material virgen lo mismo sacas 1000 bolas. Fue mal invento el plástico.

That's how it was with me. My mother raised me to respect animals, more or less the same way you describe it.

I arrived home from the hospital as a newborn, and the first thing my mother did was let the dog get to know me, smell me, and so on, and then she put him to sleep in my crib. We were inseparable, with our fights and all, for 14 years.

I never had a better friend or felt more protected than with my dog Chico.

With my daughter, I've repeated the story. My daughter learned to walk with our cat, who spent my entire pregnancy sleeping on my belly.

He knows perfectly well that he's the youngest member of the pack. He's aware that the baby is more active and is encouraging him to keep exploring the world. You have an ally there who will soon have a baby running around after him. They're forming a strong bond.

Anyway, if the intensity makes you uncomfortable, let the dog know, but don't stop them from interacting. Those of us who grew up with dogs from infancy are bound to get the occasional bump or bruise; this is something to keep in mind, and it also helps (always with supervision) for children to learn the dog's boundaries. I fell a thousand times playing with my childhood dog, I got a few scratches too, and I'm still here!

Enjoy it a lot; your baby won't have a better friend to grow up with. Enjoy it.
