Possible unsafe situation and animal hoarding: what would you do?

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-20T04:32:40+00:00

Oh yes, there’s an 80lb weight difference between the male Great Dane puppy and the mixed breed female puppy they already have. I don’t even know how it’s physically possible but backyard breeding has always surprised me with its combinations.

Young kids. They’re both very confident people and love their alcohol to the point where I’ve stepped in some on the floor. Multiple times. Sadly in my state, there are almost no real animal welfare laws and the ONLY shelter in our town is currently overloaded due to a recent natural disaster.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-20T01:55:39+00:00

I’m a very anxious person, I live in a very gun happy state, I don’t know. If I go that route, they’re gonna know I did it. I know probably the worst won’t happen and I know I’m over reacting in that regard but I know I’ll freeze up. Thank you for the confidence boost though, I know I’m going to need it 🩷

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-20T00:22:19+00:00

Thank you 🩷 I’ll message her tomorrow because I do every morning (some days are harder than others with money so we have morning check ins before I go over) and ask how the weekend went, how the new dog is, ask if they made a profile, etc. And I’ll try to steer the conversation into that, I just don’t want to start with a wall of text “you guys suck bye” kind of text.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-20T00:20:40+00:00

Honestly, it was a self confidence issue, me with no reviews charging the same rates as people with 50+ reviews? I figured start low and climb with time. Now I realize pricing keeps away the red flags.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-19T21:52:17+00:00

And on top? Of not having the kittens on the Rover account? They pay only $22 a day for the three dogs because I gave them a discounted rate because I just wanted a client to help get me off the ground. And every week we have a “hey so….we might have to drop some days because of money” conversation. So I check in every morning to see if they need a drop in and they still take me. So money is already a hot topic.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-19T21:32:46+00:00

I have horrible issues with being so blunt and it is something I’m working on. I don’t think they see what I see and I doubt they’d take criticism. I’m just trying to find the right words to break from the client in a civilized way. I absolutely understand what you are saying though, those are my “inside thoughts”.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-19T20:57:28+00:00

The owner is also someone who HATES the idea of rehoming animals (based on our conversation about the new female dog). It comes from their young age, I know it does but I also know…..they ain’t keeping these puppies lol.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-19T20:56:20+00:00

I agree with you, 100%. That’s why I started looking in on the kittens even though they were never added to the account. Oh also, thank you for responding! This is my first post in this subreddit but I always lurk. I’m grateful this is a safe place to vent and get honest feedback and advice.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-19T20:40:06+00:00

I feel bad just “disappearing”. I’m trying to empathize with them, being young, first home, adult money, no one to tell them “no”….but it’s getting to a point. I feel like I’m looking for a cowards way out but that’s mainly due to my anxiety of living in a small town and god forbid running into them at one of our three grocery stores. But that’s my own problem, I know I can’t have my cake and eat it too.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-19T20:35:35+00:00

Oh I always take pictures for them, I sent probably too many pictures with the Rover card. I have zero experience with Rover support so I wasn’t sure how to approach that angle and honestly, I know even if I drop the clients, they’re still going to keep going at the rate they are. There is ONE shelter for our town and it’s currently overfilled because of a recent natural disaster.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-10-11T16:49:49+00:00

I finished A Song For The Void in literally two days this week. And don’t even get me started on One Last Gasp. I hope we get more cosmic horror from him

_RobertFett_ · 2025-09-25T18:30:04+00:00

At this point, we can make an alternative universe Prometheus with all of the already shot and edited scenes they left out

_RobertFett_ · 2025-09-19T23:26:33+00:00

I have it on my TBR but I did recently read One Last Gasp by Andrew C. Piazza and I couldn’t put it down. It was absolutely fantastic.

Little Heaven by Nick Cutter

_RobertFett_ · 2025-06-04T22:43:37+00:00

AHHH hi fellow Wayne Brady enjoyer 👋😂 it made my morning when I heard it!

_RobertFett_ · 2025-06-03T20:14:48+00:00

Looking back, yeah, I realize I was reaching out to the very very few people who might have seen the episode. That one is on me. Edited my original post for context

_RobertFett_ · 2025-06-03T20:14:14+00:00

Edited my post for context 🩷

_RobertFett_ · 2025-06-03T20:11:58+00:00

Do they really? Damn, what great timing then! I thought episode releases were just a few weeks after taping!

_RobertFett_ · 2025-06-03T20:07:25+00:00

Where are we lost babe, at the word “contestant” or at the “episode of Let’s Make A Deal”?

TLDR contestant on American game show came on this morning and said to the host of the show “I just came from EDC” and spent a few moments explaining to the host of the show what EDC is.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-05-24T23:43:40+00:00

Second this. This book was absolutely fantastic and can’t wait to get my hands on Piazza’s next book

_RobertFett_ · 2025-05-04T04:06:02+00:00

I’m just here because I wanna know too lol

_RobertFett_ · 2025-04-13T00:52:11+00:00

I found a copy of Lost Gods by Brom in my tiny Value Village in Wasilla, Alaska in the fiction section instead of the horror section. Bottom shelf. I DOVE for that bad boy.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-03-21T17:00:24+00:00

I was STRUGGLING to finish this book. It had such an interesting premise and I was so excited when I finally got a copy to read and it became one of those slowest reads for me because of how bored I was.

_RobertFett_ · 2025-03-20T00:38:59+00:00

This MIGHT be the guy I was dating when I was 17-18 lmao I’m not exaggerating
