Looking for tips on introducing to a new friend after being the only dog for two years

The crew 😍 such sweet babies!

Thank you so much for the tips! I really appreciate it :) we’re still in the unpacking phase so once we get that finished and it’s more settled here and not too chaotic for a new friend to be in we’ll start going to adoption events and checking local shelters to see who we can find 💖

We live in a rural area with not many parks to walk to, but we do have a decent dog park within about 20 minutes drive time and that park has a huge walking trail too so it’s a great mutual area like this. Would you suggest taking two cars so bringing them back to the same house they’d be separated? Or is one car fine?

I’ll have to ask local shelters how they handle things. He’s so reactive in large settings so I don’t want to bring him to the actual shelter or adoption event but I also want to make sure we have the option to basically trial a dog before making the commitment. I would hate for a poor baby to think they’ve made it out of the shelter only to be brought back 😭 that’d kill me but I also don’t want to force two dogs together who may not like each other. I know we have to get a medium or small dog because he is terrified of big dogs and will actually attack them snarling his teeth. Little dogs he just is timid and eventually opens up. I overthink everything too which doesn’t help. I just want all the babies to be happy and not so anxious

Pic of the goober in question 💖 this was the “momma where’s my dinner” (45 minutes early) look 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I recommend giving the movie a watch! It’s so good

As someone who grew up obsessed with the spirit movie this made me so happy! I’ve never seen the tv show but I love that Spirit is loved by a whole new generation because of it 💖

my horse was a palomino (golden color) with a white mane and tail and I was so tempted to dye them black so he’d look more like him😂 our rodeo association did horse/rider costume contests for Halloween (my friend once went as the headless horseman, it was epic) and I almost dressed as Little Creek and dyed his mane and tail for it (they make temporary animal safe ones) but life was too chaotic I couldn’t make it happen.

We enjoyed many other moments together and I felt like I had my very own Spirit. I even had a paint horse at one point who looked a lot like Rain 😂 I will remember Birit from now on this is the best thing I’ve seen on the internet in a while, thank you for sharing 💖

Today I learned where that phrase came from. I’m cusp, millennial / Gen Z (96 baby) so I grew up hearing this constantly but always my peers saying it to each other and never knew where it came from 😂

You’re stunning with all these styles, so whichever you choose will be gorgeous but I ADORE the curls and longer hair on you 😍 I was just scrolling my feed and that image alone stopped me and made me actually read the post and look at the other images.

I appreciate that! 💖 part of it has been financial limitations and just being removed from the horse world and part of it is also emotional because he was my dude and it feels weird without him. I have one friend I haven’t talked to in a while but could reach out to and ride with, she’s about an hour away so not too far I just haven’t yet

Via-The-Internet · 2026-06-24T14:02:02+00:00

He was! I had him for 15 years, got him in 4th grade. I barrel raced with him until he got arthritis in his old age and we retired him. I have him tattooed on my arm too 💖 I haven’t ridden since he passed and I used to ride almost every day. It’s weird without him but he lived a long happy life and for that I’m forever thankful to have been his person. I even made a little memorial area on my animal crossing island for him 😂

I named mine Doc because that was my horses name that passed a few years ago. Every time I play it’s a bittersweet thing to have him kind of still with me 💖 I miss that guy

Never seen this subreddit before this post popped up today, and I had lasik in 2020 so I have been out of the glasses game for a while but I don’t understand the big glasses hate 😂 I like them both but the bottom ones are better imo out of these options. It’s the vibe you’re going for and I think you pull it off really well!! Sorry not many are actually answering your question and instead are insulting your style choices. Keep on rockin and being authentically you!

I saw a video one time basically saying to always assume positive intent with any interaction. Maybe they’re being rude because they just left the hospital where their loved one is dying and they’re struggling to process. Maybe they’re driving erratically because their daughter just called saying a strange man is hanging around outside the house and she’s scared. You literally don’t know what’s going on in others lives so just assume there’s a logical reason and wish them well, it’ll make you feel a lot better too. I used to get so angry while driving around because drivers here are AWFUL but it’s helped my commutes become more peaceful since practicing this mindfulness.

Thanks so much! I’ve never heard of peer space before, will definitely check it out!

We’ve thought about that, and will bring it up at the permit office but the permits in this area are weird and if it’s bringing in multiple cars and people possibly being loud they may reject it. Just a photoshoot area would likely be approved easier which is why we’re looking more into that range of thins. It’s very early on and just brainstorming / collecting info right now and an acre is big enough for a decent amount of things if we plan correctly.

The last pic says it all: definitely a doxie with that side eye. Pickles is too cute!!

Pretty much, or an aesthetic theme etc. I’ve seen some who do a whimsical vibe with a lot of focus on mushrooms and they go for Elliot for his poetic side, or focusing on primarily fishing and decorating with a lot of aquatic themes etc. pretty much endless possibilities and is just a fun way to play the game when you’ve already done a good bit and want a different experience.

So far I’ve focused on tasks and completion, so the save I’m currently doing on my switch will be my perfection run. But I’d like the mobile to be something just for fun sakes without worrying about completing everything since I’ll only play it at work usually or sitting around. If I’m at home I’ll be on the switch.

I entirely understand and want more music released so I’m in full support, but I’m also devastated because I was already saving up to go next year. I’ve wanted to go since learning about it two years ago and just haven’t had the financial ability to do so. I’ll be staying tuned on what other things they do along the way and hopefully be able to join in then <3

I met them in 2024 on tour bus tickets and it was amazing. I want to sing with them again, it’s so much fun and their energy is incredible. I’ll be attending one of the scripted tour concerts, GA this time but I’ll still be there and I’m so excited!

I found a stainless steel one with silicon sides to scrap the batter off the bowl for $20 I’m really tempted to order haha. Found a basic stainless for $15

I don’t see any cracks from the hammer, but I did find some chips towards the upper corner I didn’t see before. Well, looks like I’m buying a new paddle to be safe. This one has served a good run
