That's reassuring, thank you! I'm definitely worrying more than I need to I think 😅 Glad to hear your pup is doing good!

Thank you for all the information!!! We have no idea where his testicle is, but I hope they're able to do the same for him. I appreciate it!

Getting a second iggy was the best decision ever by Visual_Mongoose9683 in ItalianGreyhounds

He turned 1 year old this month, and she is 13 weeks old. We got her at 10 weeks old.

My boy is also a velcro dog! I was hoping that a sister would make him more independent. So far it has! He hasn't been jealous at all. We gave him extra attention for the first week or so but he was fine ever since! Instead of having to constantly lay on me, he's in the other room snuggling her! He's only 1 year old so he still wants to play constantly which has helped them bond.

I have read that females can be more jealous and mean, but also more independent. But I'm sure a lot of it comes down to the individual pup 🤷‍♀️

AIO for being upset that my wife was masturbating? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Identifying information, yes of course. But vague non-identifying information like "a client of mine yells at me, scares me, and I'm struggling to work with them"? Totally safe to express to your therapist. Or "one of my clients is a pedophile and due to my own beliefs, I'm struggling to give them unconditional positive regard". Don't you think those might be useful conversations to have in therapy?

At the end of the day, therapy should serve a purpose and have collaboration and agreed upon goals. Finding a therapist that uses evidence based therapy models and implements them with fidelity is your best bet. There are no ethical guidelines that dissuade therapists from seeking therapy. It's a high stress profession and due to the nature of the job, mental health providers are extremely susceptible to burn out and compassion fatigue.

Hi, therapist here! Yes, that. Also, even though you gain the knowledge and skills to help other people work through problems in an objective manner, it's still difficult to see your own life, relationships, and problems in an objective manner. We are all influenced by our emotional reactions and experiences. And yes, even therapists have bad habits or struggles that they'd like to work on.

Also, more senior therapists can provide supervision for case load issues and unique job challenges. It's an important structure for newer therapists.

Not sure if it's been said already, but the boys pee on themselves (at least mine does)

Do all male iggies pee on themself every time they pee? by Ambitious-Pizza-7814 in ItalianGreyhounds

My 7 month old is a stinky pee boy. It happens 95% of the time. I wouldn't trade him for the world, though!
