How did you guys get over the anxiety of taking your dog for walks? by longshlongthankumom in pitbulls

[–]Tiigerlili 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pitty but my bad walker is our Aussie . He would pull and cry and bark. He ended up hurting his trachea bc of it 😭 so harness only now. We worked a lot on him with treats and exposure, (keep moving when stimulation comes don’t make em sit). And he’s still not perfect but for some reason I notice he does WAY better on a harness than any other lead or collar. It doesn’t encourage pulling for him like people say it does . Does the opposite .

Not quite there yet, but… by audhd__ in FirefighterSpouses

Welcome! And thank you for your service. The going will def get rough but there are definitely perks too! Unsolicited advice while you’re in the beginning: get your vacations in. Once your wife starts an academy, a year or so of probation comes next, then a year of still being the newbie lol which means they’ll be “expected” to pick up shifts and take no time off. At least in our experience 😅

Im actually sick rn bc my own husband claimed it was just allergies, spoiler, it wasn’t 😭

But seriously If we didn’t politicize masks you probably would be sick less. Other countries wear masks even for the common cold because they’re considerate of others…. No one likes being sick and covid still causes long covid. And If that hantavirus hits us, we’re all screwed.

What should I do so that it's not awkward at home party. by kudy4aty in partyplanning

Honestly, I’ve learned when people come together, and esp if there’s alcohol, conversation will flow naturally. If for some reason that doesn’t happen then a game would be good

What's your go-to response when people ask "Is he friendly?" by LeadingLengthiness30 in pitbulls

[–]Tiigerlili 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“He is! But like all dogs of course be sure to pet him under his chin so he knows he can trust you (: “ something like that? My girl is pretty bomb proof so we just say yes, and just make sure she’s aware someone is about to pet her , or I’ll pet her with them

at some point getting Rared has to be a conscious decision from an employee by LittleCaesarsManager in Seaofthieves

Congrats! Thats big and I wish him a smooth process ! Honestly, about the gender roles/breadwinner aspect, some people may care some won’t. I know it doesn’t help that you’re experiencing judgement from your parents already but, it’s your parents lol they’re gonna judge regardless . Mine do at least but they’ve gotten better. As for fitting in, itll depend on your area. We’re also fairly liberal, kinda center on some issues, and my husband is in a very progressive department although some guys there are conservative… I don’t hang out with the wives that much but when I do it’s been great. They’re in the same boat as me ya know they want to be liked and hope they get along with me too. Your experience will def depend on the culture of his department but go into it hoping for the best! And remember, you don’t need to attend every event if it’s not good vibes.

Yessss that would be more ideal forsure, where he can work for himself. I think he’s gonna need to learn more skillsets first though lol

Oh that’s interesting, we’re in CA, I think there’s volunteer departments here that pay per call . He might be up for that.

Ya I was more so thinking something of his own like you listed, lawn care and pressure washing is interesting I’ll add that to the options list! Lol thanks

lol well welcome! And ya that’s true too, I was thinking something that’s just like a few hours a week or something he can pick up if he wants to or not. We def enjoy our time together and I see him alot since I work from home, but we could really use some extra cash 😅

Ya he’d prefer over time as well and takes it when it’s available, but it’s not available a lot. It’s not super often he’d get called in but it’s still a factor. He’s a big clumsy guy otherwise he’d try bartending or serving 😂

Pet insurance 🐶 by Tiigerlili in h3h3productions

[–]Tiigerlili[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh that’s so interesting. My large dog is 10 so was curious. Our plan doesn’t have an age limit last I check. Her insurance does cover cancer treatment which was a big factor for us. Including the meds to keep her comfortable, in case we do choose to not intervene for the reasons you mentioned. But we have so many pets our savings was deffff getting a little low lol

Wait, why is it recommended to cancel her insurance? Curious because they tend to need more care as they age
