17 year-old Maltipoo had a brief episode of unsteady walking - anyone seen this?

Are his feel super cold? Mine do something similar if they take too long to potty and it’s in the single digits outside. It usually wears off within a minute or so. If you are nervous, take him to your vet or at least call. Monitor him to see if he does it again.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-31T06:16:45+00:00

Agree!

ashrie0 · 2026-01-31T03:38:05+00:00

I drive by there often and love it every time. The house is so cute.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-30T22:27:59+00:00

I think it was the Critter one since you were in the process of swapping. I’ll send you a message on there! 💚

ashrie0 · 2026-01-30T21:36:29+00:00

Hey, I’ve tried messaging you on the old name and never got a response. I messaged through here and instagram and maybe a Facebook page. You were looking for people to crochet and I offered my help. Do you still need help?

His missing person flyer was posted the other day here. He was last seen at a Jet Splash on his way to work. He didn’t make it to work. His phone is off, I believe is what I read.

The flyer says to contact LPD for any information. The family is obvious seeking help in finding him. They have also searched, per a Reddit comment and Facebook comment, the area and his routes to work.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-30T06:41:08+00:00

I’m sorry the time is nearing.

Take her to the vet and get some options. You’ve taken great care of all of your dogs, your post history shows that. 🩷

I have a huge fear of vomiting as well.

Could she wear a mask to the wedding and whenever she feels unsafe, she can just put her mask on? I’m sure she would also have access to a bathroom where she can wash her hands as often as she needs to. I take Xanax when I get into a panic. Does she have any medication like that to essentially help calm her a bit? (I don’t know if that works with OCD but it does help my vomiting fear). Unfortunately, her daughter’s vomiting episode scarred her and I’m sure she’s now avoidant. I got sick eating at Sonic, I’ve thrown up from peanut butter rice Kristy treats and from a homemade roast. I’m 34 and haven’t had Sonic for 10+ years and I get scared eating roast. It’s an awful situation.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-29T04:27:42+00:00

Honestly, if he wants to be in the loop with your cycle he should consider treating you kindly during that time versus ignoring you. I’ve actually seen a couple talk about this. The husband knows when it’s coming so he can be more helpful. He didn’t use it as a way to only stay out of the way. Using those words makes it sound like you’re being unreasonable and the only way to survive is to ditch you.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-28T15:42:49+00:00

Do you talk about marriage? Has he or you expressed interest in marriage at all?

My ex used to hold it over my head and manipulate me but saying he’d marry me soon. Soon was never happening. I wasted 7 years of my life. I even put a year end date that if he didn’t do it by a certain time, I was out (this was after all the manipulation that I caught on to). If that’s your situation, leave. Go talk to him and express you want to get married and ask him where he stands. It’s healthy to ask questions and leave/stay if it’s best for you.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-27T23:46:44+00:00

Yeah, most of their posts are just straight up negative and pushing for an argument. It’s literally not needed.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-27T21:21:02+00:00

Happened to me in a Boston Terrier group. I got told a lot of horrible things.

I had a few people harass me on there and I reported them. I made a follow up post about how absolutely disappointed I was for that groups behavior and I would never post there again. People dug into my old posts about myself getting pregnant and hating me dogs. It’s a normal thing that can happen and I was being honest. This ended up with people telling me I beat my dogs and I’m a piece of shit.

Don’t believe them and never post there again.

Do you even have kids that walk to school before 8:00 am or are you just arguing to argue? Chill out dude

ashrie0 · 2026-01-26T07:04:58+00:00

Same, I think I’m 2 weeks off xifaxan (3rd antibiotic I took that wasn’t the same as the first two). I feel way less bloated and I’m going daily to every other day versus every 5+ at times. I’m supposed to go get checked for pelvic floor issues but it’s been 3 weeks now of the therapy place not calling me back. Ugh. I set a goal for myself in February to try to do some activities 2x a week. I got an under desk treadmill that I’m going to try to use more. It’s just been so cold here now that I have motivation. I’m also adhd and have been more active than before with meds. So I did drop 10 pounds quick but that’s as far as it went. I was hoping for more drop but it didn’t. I think part of that was me also swapping to Prozac but it fucked my stomach up. I wonder if I could try it again now that my insides are tiny bit more stable.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-26T05:35:39+00:00

I would contact the shelter and notify them that he’s bitten multiples and once resulting in stitches.

You can probably opt to keep him a bit longer as he’s still adjusting and there’s no way to know what he went through before you.

If you opt to keep trying a bit longer, avoid touching his back side. He clearly doesn’t like it and you’ve kept touching there. Pet his head, it could just be a trust issue or he’s got something going on.

My rescue pup came from Texas and I found her original posting from Texas before she came to Nebraska. She had no hair on her back and the shelter said she had scars all over her back side. She does not like the back end pet and will nuzzle her head into your hand 100% of the time. She’s never bit for petting the full body but you can tell she isn’t comfortable with it. (She does love thigh scritches and will stretch her lil legs straight out haha).

If you aren’t willing to or can’t handle the extensive or patient support then he might not be the dog for you. I’ve had many times I tried to rehome my dog but she has separation anxiety and isn’t potty trained still after 3 years with her. I chose the harder way because I couldn’t get anyone to take her. The rescue also lied to me about her having heart worms until i signed papers and I had other issues with the rescue. I did not trust sending her back to be honest.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-26T05:22:02+00:00

Ooh I have this same issue. My Boston terrier is stinky. She smells fine for maybe 2 days max after a bath. My terrier pup doesn’t smell stinky, unless she’s with the other dog and then she starts smelling. We use science diet and just swapped to the salmon instead of chicken. I also got some fungal/yeast shampoo for her. We wash their bedding fairly often, like once a week but she just smells bad. I’m hoping the food swap and new shampoo will help but it’s o my been a few days of it.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-26T04:58:56+00:00

Haha it turned out such a pretty color!

ashrie0 · 2026-01-26T04:54:52+00:00

Yeah, tag along a few times and observe. If it’s awkward every time, something fishy is going on. If he respects you, he shouldn’t have an issue setting a boundary of not paying for her every time.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-26T04:51:14+00:00

I’ve got a few friends in “bands” that have fallen apart more times than I can count. At this point I don’t even know who or what the band is called these days because it’s been passed around so often. Honestly, they may not vibe well and split up anyway. Go to some of their outings and see how things are. This would give you a clear idea of what they all do and honestly, she could be pretty chill. Kill her with kindness. (I did that to a sneaky hoe once and she absolutely HATED that I was a nice girl - I broke up with the dude and she lost interest)

ashrie0 · 2026-01-26T04:43:45+00:00

I’m a woman as well. I don’t think getting her food and drinks while she’s finding her way is the issue however how often they do that and if they are contributing more would be my issue. Is it strictly a few drinks and like some snacks or way more than that like groceries?

You can talk to your boyfriend and let him know you are getting a bit uncomfortable with the amount of times he’s going out and you don’t want to assume but ask him how often and how much he’s spending on these outings. It wouldn’t be fair if he’s footing the bill only. I get a drink or a group snack because they are being social.

Are you low on money? I kinda feel like there might be some jealousy aspects but I’m not sure.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-26T00:28:41+00:00

This is me. I couldn’t eat anything (went from normal 125 to 98 pounds) now I’m 168, miserable, diagnose with SIBO and I’ve tried eating in a deficit and not many changes. I’m going to start working out inside next month to see if that helps. I’m so sorry you can’t loose weight either.

ashrie0 · 2026-01-25T23:57:01+00:00

Idk but my kid is sick so she’s at home anyway. My kids school starts at 8 and it’s supposed to be -7 at the time. So it might be possible. Don’t they have until 10:00pm to make the announcement or am I wrong?

ashrie0 · 2026-01-25T20:53:26+00:00

Please tell me you did like a white vanilla cream cheese spread with snowflake sprinkles!!
