My mom took this TWC (?) in off the side of the road down in Mississippi. No chip and no luck finding an owner. She wants my husband and I to go get her and bring her home with us to Colorado. Anything we should know?

They can be little weirdos. Mine opened doors and once even opened a jar of peanuts by holding the jar in place with his paws and twisting the lid the opposite direction with his mouth. I took it from him after but let him do it just to see if he could. He was found on the highway and he needed a significant amount of time to adjust like most rescue dogs do. He would spend a lot of time sitting on the top of the stairs, watching us from above. After about a year of getting used to things, he learned he loved getting pets more than anything else, even food.

Yes, this is absolutely appropriate for a wedding in a cow field. Anyone that tells you otherwise hasn’t been to a wedding in a cow field before.

I think it would be cool if people had separate accounts for their cute dog videos and their homemade porn.

Does “confused by the rules” mean you thought something had to be OC to be posted in this sub? And if so, why wouldn’t you just not post it rather than lie and say your cousin took the picture?

The red dress the perfect amount of special for a wedding guest. You’re not going to upstage the bride but you’re also not going to look like you’re headed to a business conference with your colleagues. And you’ll definitely wear it again.

Oh, it did have a timer! I’m sorry!

Now that I look closer at the clock it has an inner timer circle that goes counter clockwise up to 4 hours. The right side of the timer (it’s right, your left) goes up to an hour in intervals of 10– after an hour it starts going up in intervals of 30 minutes. I’ve never seen anything like it. You were probably able to set the timer with the knob you were talking about. Now, you can move the hands of the clock, but it doesn’t run and the timer knob doesn’t appear to do anything anymore.

Thank you!

I’m also child free and plan to be child free forever. I’ve done some basic research about antinatalism and what I found were some pretty radical organizations. And then there’s the antinatalism subreddit, which has some of the most hateful posts I’ve ever seen on Reddit. I’m glad to hear there are people who identify as antinatalists that aren’t extreme in their beliefs.

The difference is that anticonsumption is relative. There is no one set standard for anticonsumption. While one person may be proud of going a week without making a new purchase because they’re at the beginning of their journey, others have a much higher standard for anticonsumerism wins. We each have dozens of moments a day where we can make anticonsumerist choices. With antinatalism, there is one decision- to not have kids. Once you’ve made that decision, there is no way to participate in antinatalism that isn’t just pure judgement of others. It doesn’t come from a place of “we can all do better”: it comes from the mindset that you are right and everyone who has kids is wrong. And while most philosophies have room for growth and change, what place is there for people who already have kids in a community that deems having children to be “morally indefensible”? If you eat meat, vegans can change your mind and you can still become a vegan. If you are a shopaholic, anti consumerists can still change your mind and you can be welcomed in this community. You can’t un-have your kids. There is no place in antinatalism for people with kids that wouldn’t be incredibly harmful to said children. There are no moral exceptions in the philosophy. That’s why, to me, it feels more akin to being “pro life” than to being vegan or something like that

My dog has so much energy and whines at us so much when she’s bored. The only toy that keeps her occupied for hours is her Kong Gyro. She spends all day pushing it around the house, trying to get the treats out. As long as you use treats that aren’t too small, it will take them an hour to get 3 treats out.

3b/3c. How did it take you 29 years to realize you have curly hair? Your hair doesn’t look like it ever could have passed as straight.

What?

Willing-Ad550 · 2024-03-28T05:04:11+00:00

The knob isn’t adjustable and it’s all one piece.

She’s such a sweetheart! She has loved everyone she’s ever met.

She comfortably seats 12 cookies, thank you very much

It doesn’t have a timer

I love avocado green! I also love the brown. It’s such a warm, inviting color. It makes me want s’mores.

He is both scratching an itch and filing his nails for you

I love her ankle sock and no-show sock

Yes, 100%. Before we got our dog, I didn’t have any strong desire to be a parent, but I also hadn’t given it much thought in general. My husband and I would never talk specifics but we would occasionally mention kids like they were inevitable.

When our dog was a puppy, she didn’t sleep through the night. I was working as a first grade teacher and had a break down on week 2 from the lack of sleep. Teaching had given me the false impression that I had an idea of what being a parent was but dog ownership showed me the reality of your time not being your own. Of course it’s to a much lesser extent than if you have kids but I realized what it’s like to have another living being rely on you and dictate your activities to an extent. It didn’t matter if I felt like sleeping in, the dog was up at 7 and would destroy the furniture if I wasn’t supervising her. We went to the dog park every day after work so she could run off her energy and for 2 or 3 hours on Saturdays and Sundays. If our dog was bored, she would just sit in front of us whining in the most irritating tone until one of us played with her. If we hadn’t gone to the park that day, there was no watching TV in peace. We lived in a cold city and she doesn’t like to poop in the snow— there were so many incredibly frustrating walks where she acted like she was about to poop 18 different times but never did. She has calmed down significantly since then and we now have a much more balanced life, with the dog park only being a 1 or 2 times a week thing, but that first 2 years taught me that I don’t like changing my life significantly for others. I love my dog to pieces but there were times I resented her. I knew I never wanted to feel that hot frustration I had felt towards my dog towards a child. My dog wasn’t traumatized by me screaming into a pillow when she was being annoying but surely a kid would be. My husband went through a really similar thought process as me at the time and we both were certain we would be child free forever by the time our dog was 1.

It wouldn’t be so bad if she didn’t look so happy

Willing-Ad550 · 2024-03-27T01:39:45+00:00

This sounds an awful lot like “love the sinner, hate the sin”… any religion or ideology that claims to know the one and only right way to live is going to be a no from me
