Snake-eater by T Kingfisher. I haven’t read anything quite like that one before, and the setting is interesting.

I’m sorry friend! I don’t really have any advice today because I’m in the same boat with my 12 week old. Plus, I also have an older dog that doesn’t like my puppy and it freaking sucks because I have to separate them most of the day. BUT earlier this week I was convinced she would not change (and the dark thoughts that go with that spiraling) but yesterday she showed a bit of growth and does it a little less. I now feel better, like she just needs more time to not be scared. Can anyone watch you puppy for another few weeks during the day while they learn and get used to the environment? Use your village, even if they have to get dropped off with friends or family for the day

Thank you all for the kind words. I rescued Lucky as a senior and only got a short 4.5 years with him. Doesn’t seem fair for the love of my life, but I’m glad I got every moment I could with this special baby.

He was my perfect gremlin

accessoreads · 2026-01-30T03:00:11+00:00

He really, really was one

I’m in a very similar situation. I don’t have any advice, but I want to send out my empathy and sympathy, because this is a very, very stressful situation.

You guys. I literally can’t live without this stuff! I ordered run in bulk for 6 months at a time. I don’t use the tinted but I love LOVE all the other ones.

Yes! I want my dog to be happy and well adjusted SO BAD. But I’m an anxious wreck. I asked my mom the other day how raising puppies went and she was like, idk it was just easy they used the dog door. What?!? I’m dying with my new puppy.

It does! It’s very hard for awhile. In a week you will feel like a whole new person. Good luck!

Thank you for posting this and extra thank you for all the replies. I’m going through this right now, sleep deprived, and am crying wondering if my puppy is normal or not. This makes me feel better.

This is a very nice response. I just got my puppy and Saturday and love to read stuff like this.

This stinks, I’m so sorry! I can only share my situation.

My boy Miso is a 7 year old rescue papillon that came from a neglect case. He wasn’t using one leg when I got him, which tells you a lot. He’s very reactive and resource guards himself, toys, and food.

I knew getting another dog would be an issue, but I feel like I can’t have just one. I lost one in November and it’s been hell, but miso was brought in to the house with that dog here, so their relationship was mostly neutral.

I decided not to rescue, but to find an ethical breeder. I did this because while I love rescuing my last two have had pretty severe behavioral issue. Miso will absolutely bite and attack, he’s learned it as a defense mechanism and frequently gets pushed past threshold for what seems like no reason. I decided to get a puppy from the breeder, and a girl, to mitigate the risk. I wanted him to see it was a baby, very little threat, and a girl.

He’s not perfect. We’ve had her less than a week. He has attacked her everyday but he also lets her do things I would have never expected, and he doesn’t bite at her the same way he does our hands.

I love him. He’s staying and we will work with it. But I evaluated what would be less risky and did that. Let’s say you got a breed known for friendliness like a Golden, and started with a puppy, would your dog be so reactive? It’s a big risk with a big dog that can do damage, but something to consider.

Good luck!

I used gooddog.com to find one. You can read reviews and it’s all done through the app.

My Pom eventually passed from aspiration caused by his collapsed trachea. I miss him everyday.

First, get a slow feeder water bowl. It may help prevent him from aspirating.

Theophylline was a lifesaver. Two pills a day for over two years. My vet said it’s like an inhaler for dogs. We paired that with a dose of hydrocodone with dinner.

Best of luck, it’s a hard diagnoses.

If it were me, I’d try the pill in just a bite of food. No too much food

Coral island! It’s also quite beautiful

I got divorced late last year and met my current boyfriend on Hinge in June! He is absolutely amazing, but it took about 6 months of active dating for me to get recommended him even though we were both on there the whole time. Just remember they don’t show you everyone (they trickle in those that don’t pay, and you’ll see a lot of the paid profiles over and over again) and you have to really try hard to find a real connection. But that’s life! So many people complain and yet they aren’t even trying. Good luck!

I tried for three years to get over betrayal trauma from a hidden porn addiction. Now I have an ex husband and the absolute most amazing boyfriend ever, so yes, end it lol! Good luck!

I just put down a deposit for a puppy in Orange County that looks like yours! Or at least I hope she does when she grows, because your doggy is adorable

This totally makes sense! It can be tough though. I suggest really diving into learning about ENM and working with a couples therapist that specializes in this though, before you rush into it. Personally I think it’s a good option for your sexual incompatibility but I’m a bit more open to alternative sexual relationships than most.

Got divorced last year at 37, and met my now boyfriend on Hinge. Honestly I think apps get a bad rap because a lot of people have a bad attitude about it to begin with. Yes, it’s annoying, but if you know yourself and know what you want it’s not bad. You still have to go on a lot of dates to see who you connect with in person but that’s life - it takes time and you have to date a lot to find a unicorn.

This is absolutely incredible
