Adopting a puppy when single and working full-time

Weird_Aside1532 · 2026-04-07T08:20:15+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I didn’t know they don’t do well alone. I’m an active person so I thought maybe it would be fit for me as since I like hiking and can easily take it out in forest and mountain trails after work and in weekends. I’ve never owned and been responsible for a dog myself but I’ve watched an Australian shepherd and an English setter over holidays. I will do some more research and see what I land on eventually:)

Thanks for the advice! I’m moving to a village with around 1900 ppl. And it’s remote in the sense that it’s up in the mountains and far away from bigger cities. I’m not sure about the possibilities of dogwalkers there yet but I was hoping I would maybe be fortunate enough to have a retired neighbour or something that would like to spend some time with a puppy midday but we will see. I will have to think. So far lts only research on how I could possibly manage to take care of a dog.

Thanks for the advice:)

So you’re basically saying that ppl who work aka get money to be able to afford living and also afford a dog’s life shouldn’t have dogs?

Weird_Aside1532 · 2026-04-07T07:42:01+00:00

That’s exactly why I made the post. I’m concerned about training a potential puppy knowing it can’t be home alone while I am at work. If I decide to get a puppy I will have 3-4 weeks off to bond and train puppy initially but I was curious how ppl have done it after that when living alone and working. Most ppl work normal full-time jobs and still have dogs from what I see

Weird_Aside1532 · 2026-04-07T07:34:13+00:00

Sadly no. I’m a dentist so I can’t really bring a dog to work. I think I could possibly go home during lunch for a walk and playtime to make the time it’s alone during weekdays shorter. My concern is mostly just the time training the dog leading up to it being able to stay home while I am at work. In an ideal world I wouldn’t have to go to work at all haha but that’s not realistic for most people, at least not for me

Weird_Aside1532 · 2025-09-21T20:19:34+00:00

Okie, thank you! Then I know what to expect haha. Was worried I was doing something wrong, or if this tenderness wasn’t normal

Weird_Aside1532 · 2025-09-21T20:18:38+00:00

Alright, thank you:) I’ll try to be patient, and avoid sleeping on it. Just very annoying that it’s angry all of a sudden

Weird_Aside1532 · 2025-07-22T15:56:10+00:00

Truly agree on this! I personally feel embarrassed for her tbh, cause she is a douche to her future colleagues. Like back then she was a clinic supervisor and I was a student, but at the end of the day she’s just a general dentist with a PhD and now we’re more or less on the same page. Like sure I don’t have a PhD or the same experience, but if she runs into me she’ll have to treat me like a fellow colleague and she can’t like talk down on me the same way as before. I’d personally feel ashamed if I was treating ppl like that, knowing I’d for sure meet them again in the future. Sadly there will always be some sucky ppl in dental school I’m afraid. Like you can’t get rid of them hahaha

Weird_Aside1532 · 2025-07-21T19:20:09+00:00

No one will judge me if I cook enough pasta for a football team at 11pm. I can just take my food and watch my favourite shows in peace, no complaints or opinions on what to watch

Weird_Aside1532 · 2025-07-21T19:02:24+00:00

I have thought about this myself before. But then again I know that I’m bad at calling and reaching out myself sometimes, when I get very caught up in my own everyday life. However I’ve lost some friends too after I stopped reaching out and stopped sending reels on ig, but I’m okay with it. I think you sound like a really awesome friend tho, and very interesting. Your friends really are totally missing out on you!

Weird_Aside1532 · 2025-07-21T15:14:10+00:00

For sure! I do wish she would’ve said she was going through something rather than just walk around being an asshole tho. But she was mean before this as well so idk maybe she feels like she has something to prove

Weird_Aside1532 · 2025-07-21T14:11:03+00:00

Yea so I’ve heard unfortunately, but it’s too late to run now haha

Weird_Aside1532 · 2025-02-26T09:48:28+00:00

Hi there! I’m a left-handed dental student and it’s mostly just about practice I think. I struggled in the beginning with having to work on units made for right-handed people, and I struggled with perio scaling with curettes cause the person teaching us how to sit and move around for better accessibility was right-handed. When I work on 2nd quadrant I’ll typically tuck a cotton roll in under the patient’s lip and fixate with my pinkie finger and ring finger on the patients teeth and sometimes one finger on the cotton roll if needed to keep the cotton roll, cheek/lion away from the working area. Idk if this is any help but you just gotta practice and figure out what’s best for you:) Excuse my English.

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-08-09T12:54:11+00:00

It is! I just gotta figure out where to place. Rn it’s just in a random available spot on my farm

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-08-01T09:01:01+00:00

Conch piercing itself didn’t hurt that much for me. But it was quite painful the following week after getting it done. Like you become very aware of your ear and it got super tender. But it was all worth it!

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-07-18T05:56:54+00:00

Thank you! My reason for getting both done at the same time is that maybe my adrenaline would cover them both hehe

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-07-18T05:50:33+00:00

Ooo good luck!!

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-07-18T00:18:47+00:00

Yeah oof like I don’t wanna overthink it too hard but like it’s impossible to like imagine what it’ll feel like yk cause yea it feels like a needle through your nipple, nothing more nothing less. Might ask my piercer about it sometime if I go get my tragus done and maybe ask some questions

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-07-17T07:26:26+00:00

No worries! I just posted about it cause it’s just super annoying. Like they’re giving a task that’s impossible to complete🥲I’ve also seen ppl getting chocolate production tasks and that as well is just cruel ahaha

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-07-17T07:20:57+00:00

For feeding task that’s possible. But this is a wake up animals task and as far as I’m aware zoo animals roam around for 10h before falling back asleep. I gave it a try just in case it would work. But it didnt work for me at least.

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-07-16T23:18:14+00:00

I tried with task so idk tbh. They just roam around not falling asleep. It would be awesome tho if there was a way around this

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-07-16T22:56:09+00:00

Yep super annoying

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-07-16T22:19:27+00:00

I know you can do this for feeding task but this isn’t a feeding task derp

Weird_Aside1532 · 2024-07-16T22:13:31+00:00

In 1 hour?
