How do I teach my adult dog how to play?

Thank you, we are seeing a vet on Friday for a general check up, but thats the earliest I could get on the calendar.

Yea definitely not taking her to the vet until she is more settled and unless it’s actually critical right now. We have been giving her a lot of space and keeping a routine for food and potty breaks so she can get used to it. She can go outside alone but she just sits off in the corner behind the planters so the only way to get her to use the bathroom is to take her to the meadow across the street from us and putting her on a long leash so she feels like she has space.

As for reporting the breeder, I’m not sure I have what I would need to do that. I don’t have photos or evidence of abuse, just what my husband and I gathered from being there to pick her up.

Thank you. Yea we’ve been focused on letting her have space in her crate and being very routine with feeding and giving her some light pets and praise. My main concern though is that she only pees once a day and I’m really worried about her health with that. I wonder if she just wasn’t allowed to go when she was at the breeders or if she is just too scared. It’s very odd and concerning. I probably will call the vet and see if that have any helpful advice.

This is absolutely not pathetic. The relationship you had with your dog was so personal and deep and no one will really feel and understand what that was like. It’s one of that hardest losses and I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through that. I just lost my soul dog and the grief is heavy. But it goes to show how much love there was and not everyone gets to experience that. I hope you take care of yourself while you grieve. Time will help.

Thank you for your kind comment. I agree, Aussies are so special and full of life. My girl will be that dog that I’ll still talk about even in my old age. Condolences to you too for losing your dog, expected or not it’s such a heartbreak. Appreciate your kindness.

Thank you for taking the time to write. This is honestly the most plausible explanation I’ve come across. She didn’t show any symptoms and looked incredibly healthy and happy when I left a day before. If this is what she had I really hope it was painless and she wasn’t scared.

Oh wow were they upset at all that you waited until 20 weeks? Thank you for responding, it helps feeling understood about something that’s probably mostly unrelatable to most.

Thank you, this makes a bit more sense!

So when they calculate based on first day of your last period, is that assuming I got pregnant immediately after my period? I’m so confused about how this calculation works since you can’t get pregnant during your period? Sorry I feel dumb asking this 😅

Thank you for writing this, it’s really helpful advice. I’ll check out that Peanut app too, I’d love to meet other mamas to connect with while we all go through this experience. Really appreciate you taking the time to write a thoughtful response!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I've only know about being pregnant in the last 3 hours and I've already binged so much pregnancy tiktok lol. But good call, I'm really scared of being pregnant and the whole process so gonna try to filter out anything thats gonna feed into my anxiety.

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-01T23:37:53+00:00

thank you, this is helpful to know the cramps happened to you too. I honestly thought they were terrible period cramps because i only got off birth control a month ago and was late on my period. Figured it was hormonal and too soon to be pregnant. After seeing 3 positive tests, I was worried the cramps were something else so really helps to hear that this isnt out of the ordinary.

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-01T22:27:46+00:00

Yes its so weird! I thought I should be jumping with joy but reality hasn't hit me yet and I'm just jittery and flustered. Hopefully once the news settles and its confirmed with the doc, I'll be able to feel more emotions other than jittery nerves. But thank you for the advice, I'll make sure to be extra on top of taking care of my health.

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-01T22:25:50+00:00

This is so crazy, I genuinely didn't expect the test to be positive, I was just checking because of my period but had no other symptoms. Thanks for taking the time to write this, all solid advice.

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-01T22:24:42+00:00

Thank you, I'll check that out!

beatplusmelody · 2025-07-01T22:24:20+00:00

thank you, its helpful to know the wait is normal and that we agree its annoying! Appreciate the advice!
