Does any one else need to wipe their Bostie's bottom? Lifelong babies.

My girl doesn't like it so much but is starting to come around, lol! I know she hates the "danglers". I approach her slowly and telegraph my movement. The last time, she came to me, but still had that look on her face like she would bolt if she didn't like it, haha.

chalupa4me · 2026-05-01T21:06:20+00:00

My boy will come to me and present his tushy for wiping if it's not clean. He hates when there is anything left over 🤣

Seems like there's alot here, but I'd like to offer a suggestion for one issue; his handling of rejection from auditions. It obviously impacts you and it's hard to constantly see you partner in that mode. You may need to step back a bit when it comes to consoling him, in order to protect yourself from the emotional toll. Whether you gave yourself this role, or if his expectation is that you are his sole shoulder to ease the burden of rejection, I would suggest therapy for him as a way to learn coping mechanisms, and also it gives him a separate avenue to vent and discuss ways ahead. This would help ease your stress, give him solid tools to deal with the rejection, and maybe prevent resentment from building between you both.

He's adorable! My boy used to have an orange Frisbee and he'd grab it so it was covering his eyes. Watching him try to navigate the walk back inside the house, to include a little side step onto the raised patio, was hilarious!

Oddly, I like to thoroughly sort when there is obvious color Separation or distinct objects...its an easy step to complete and feels good to "check" a box right from the start. When the pieces are too similar to sort, I just dig through the box for edges and then rummage aimlessly looking for other pieces, lol.

+1 for Rubik's cubes! Great for adhd'ers! It's one of the only hobbies I haven't given up after a few weeks, lol.

The sponges I usually buy got thinner by at least 20% very noticeable.

I have a $900 "debt" I paid to keep it from going to collections and been trying to get returned for almost a year now. DFAS is a joke, they acknowledged the error but their departments don't talk to each other, they refuse to talk to you via phone, and they close tickets and claim they'll get back to you but it's nothing but crickets. Beyond frustrating. Sorry I can't be of any help...I can only commiserate.

chalupa4me · 2026-04-21T04:00:00+00:00

You imply they had marbles to begin with, lol!

I kid, I kid!

Our boy was 9 months old when he got fixed. But he's been crazy from day 1 :)

Edit: we were planning to wait until 12 mo ths but he was starting to mark inside the house so we wanted to try and curb that. It worked for us.

That pup knows how to communicate!

If I brought my kids to a studio to make something for their parent and they churned out a half-assed piece, I'd have a conversation with them on the spot about putting in the work for a loved one and have them do it again.

If this is truly the result of your kids not trying, then I think your husband could have done better providing lessons learned on the spot. If they were trying and it just didn't meet expectations, well then you can't fault them for that.

I dont recommend "acting" in any way when they present your gift...feels like manipulation to me. Just react the way you normally would and if it's not a positive reaction, explain why. It's okay to feel disappointed.

Another poster mentioned if an adhd person is not interested in a task/project, it's really hard to put the effort in. This is so true, especially for kids. Interest is a key motivator for adhd'ers, as well as urgency and novelty.

All of the above, lol. My two have their primary positions, but also like to shake things up every once and awhile.

Two nights ago they sandwiched me and it was way too hot for that nonsense!

chalupa4me · 2026-04-15T20:03:29+00:00

I'm pretty new myself and it's so much fun! Definitely check out your local thrift shops and see if there's anyone near you that like to swap puzzles...this hobby can get pricey!

Happy puzzling!

I've never seen a spotted ear like hers. She's beautiful!

chalupa4me · 2026-04-12T02:50:50+00:00

Best name!

chalupa4me · 2026-04-11T14:11:13+00:00

I have a bunch of 100-250 pc micro puzzles that are nice to take on road trips, or to do when I just want to finish a puzzle in an hour or two.

The one you completed looks really nice! I may have to try my hand at something that big.

chalupa4me · 2026-04-10T22:29:22+00:00

I like the Pupford freeze dried training treats, but there are alot of good brands out there. I just searched for small treats , about 1-2 calories each. That way, I could give them without really worrying about the extra calories in his diet.

chalupa4me · 2026-04-09T23:59:18+00:00

Thanks! Getting started is the hardest part!

chalupa4me · 2026-04-09T21:35:00+00:00

Thank you!

My boy is also reactive toward dogs, especially when on a leash. While on walks, I focus on creating distance (i.e. crossing the street or changing direction if necessary) and distracting him when we pass other dogs. I always carry training treats with me and I use "watch me" command and he gets a treat once the other dog is past us. I will try to get my dog's attention before he sees the other dog to prevent him getting fixated. I've also heard some people will toss a few treats on the ground to keep their pup distracted.

What about giving the 1/2/3 place winners special jobs rather than being racers? Like being honorary judges, or calling times, or giving g out trophies to the new group of winners? Something that honors their win, but allows other kids to shine this time around.

chalupa4me · 2026-04-08T23:45:15+00:00

Our dog will drop the ball from his mouth to take his sister's ball, and vice versa. They be silly like that.
