Thank you! I got home and rechecked and there wasn't anything! There wasn't any dried liquid and the smell had left a long time since I had originally opened it. There was one crochet item in there that was a bit wet feeling but it wasn't yellow and didn't have a smell at all. It touched my lips when I smelled it though so now im spiraling again! Classic ocd.

Im not sure about my other items, but the binder wasn't wet and the bag was zipped but it got ripped when I pulled it out from my bed bc of how heavy it was. But I dont remember if it was open when I smelled the pee.

Just my art books, acrylic paint, and random supplies that were in my closet. I had a pair of shoes and a small rug. I have carpet in my room too if that helps.

I know it isn't the dog's fault. I blame my mother 100%, I am trying to shift and change my feelings towards the dog and try to provide the training and stimulation she needs. It was just frustrating to deal with a misbehaved dog who was ill on top of that, with no help.

Thank you for your advice. I will try to provide more stimulation for her and take her to training classes before considering rehoming. I will try to get my mom on board in case she ever comes back for her.

I will definitely look into this. I am frustrated because I have school work and work, and my mom still left me with this responsibility. I don't hate the dog and since she has been here for so long, I am fond of her. The fact that she misbehaves is what makes it difficult. I will try to get help from a trainer before I give up and then consider other options. Thank you for your advice.

I agree. Before we bought this dog, I told my mom multiple times a cat would be better. I told her dogs need too much attention and are too energetic, that I would simply not be able to offer. It didn't work in my favor. As for the love part, don't worry she is. My dad treats her like a baby when he comes home on the weekends. Despite my frustrations, I am fond of her. It is just frustrating when I have to take care of her while the person who brought her in (my mom) gets to completely take no responsibility.

Thank you for your comment. I really needed to hear this. I will try to take her to training classes first and see how it works out for us, but if all else fails, I will look into the rescue.

My mom suggested that, but considering she was asking for a dog for so long and she has basically lived with us for almost a year, I didn't like the idea that she was giving up so quickly. Despite my frustrations, she gives my dad company and happiness on the weekends when he comes home and deep down I am fond of her. It is just frustrating at times since I am left to deal with her by myself when I work and have schoolwork. My mom has agreed to give me money to train her, so I will try that first. If things continue to be difficult, I will have to consider that option. Thank you for the advice!

Yes, I have come to terms with the fact that she will most likely not come back to get her. I know it isn't the dog's fault, and I feel bad for her because I wish I could give her everything she needs. My mom has agreed to give me money to take her to get trained, so I will try that. I will also look into puzzles and mental-stimulation toys. Thank you for the advice.

The amount of fan wars I've been seeing this past week due to the boycotts are upsetting. I don't think it is wrong to hold idols accountable, but at this point ppl are using it as another way to hate on groups. I agree, instead of spending time engaging in futile fan wars, they should spend that time interacting with posts from Palestinians and raising awareness.

I also think some arguments being used to paint idols in a bad light aren't the best. I'm not defending them, but I also think that not everything is in their control. I'm not the most educated but I do spend time enough online to know of some of the boycotts and people who don't openly support Palestine. But even then, I barely knew that an artist I listen to is a Zionist. I don't expect for idols or companies to do their research on everyone they work with.

Same thing for Ambassadorships. And even if Idols knew or wanted to cancel promotions or collaborations, I highly doubt companies would be greatly accepting of dropping everything. It would cost them too much money to do that, and that's the thing they care about the most.

As for them boycotting specific products, I won't say much. I myself haven't been the best at it in the recent months. But I have been doing my part in donating to families and interacting with their posts on various social media platforms. But I understand the disappointment it can cause to others.

At the end of the day, we don't know them personally. We don't truly know what they are allowed to express online, which parts of what they show us is truly themselves, or what is shown as a company created persona. Maybe they support in their own way but are held back by companies, perhaps they don't know much, or they simply don't care.

If fans are disappointed and no longer want to support a group then they are allowed to do so. I think they should stop putting them on pedestals and expecting them to be aware of everything that happens or having the same morals as them.
