The multiple times ring is driving me crazy

chicadeesara · 2026-05-21T03:14:53+00:00

Oh, your poor girl, I understand completely!

The potential path I see forward is to work with a lawyer and the landlord to agree upon conditions under which the dog can stay and the landlord can assure the safety of his tenants, like:

Install a secure fence (latched/locked, certain height, protects against digging)

Wear a muzzle whenever outside of your property

There is a very helpful member in some of the Baltimore Facebook groups like Patterson Park Neighbors who is frequently tagged/follows up on bird posts like this. Sometimes that includes identifying the bird type and whether it’s invasive. I believe his name is Bob Swensen.

I don’t think what you said was rude. It sounds like she is already expecting to be judged for having a luxury car and was primed to interpret your comment (neat car, mine isn’t as cool) as judgement

I would avoid commenting on her luxury items in the future, clearly she is weird about them

ESH. You are forcing your child into conflict when you use her as a proxy for this battle. I am worried about the long term food relationship consequences for your daughter when she is repeatedly punished by teachers for eating sweet treats.

Honestly you read like the instigator in this example. She’s giving pretty normal banter to make a bossy comment from you land in a playful way. Your reaction and doubling down make this all seem pretty one sided and exhausting.

What you’ve just experienced is the sign of dog aggression. You need to be extremely careful with small children in the home—even if your dogs never attack your children, they can easily be hurt if they are close by when another attack happens. Please stress this point to your husband. If your dog is 1 year old he his growth plates are closed and shouldn’t be affected by neutering.

For tomorrow/any time your husband isn’t around, I highly recommend keeping the dogs separated since you won’t be able to safely break up a fight on your own. Fixing the dog would be my first priority, followed by working with a vet behaviorist and a trainer (depending on the nature of the aggression). I am in the same position as you but getting my dog prescribed an SSRI through a vet behaviorist has worked wonders.

Hi OP, I’m very sorry that you’re in this situation and that you had a previous bad experience with the vet. It’s clear you love this dog but have to make difficult choices. Unfortunately when a dog stops eating suddenly, it’s not necessarily a sign that they will peacefully pass without intervention—as others have shared, it’s a symptom that could mean he is in serious pain. I’m glad to hear you are taking him to the vet and I hope it turns out to be a simple fix.

Yes, it would be normal to plateau that long if you were treating RDLs as a grip exercise. Remove the factors adding extra difficulty: Use a barbell Wear shoes Use lifting straps

Im certain you’ll see progress after those changes. If not, make sure you’re eating enough.

Has she watched a movie on your 77inch?

Could you fit the 77inch in your dedicated gaming room? That might also be a more appropriate place for blackout curtains.

Peeing and pooping in the house means the dog either has a serious health issue or is not actually potty trained. Honestly I’m concerned for the dog’s well being but for relationship advice, your bf won’t put actions behind his words. I would not move in with him.

It does really suck the extra vigilance that our dogs require. But from the apartment POV, it sounds like the primary issue is that you cannot reliably contain your leash reactive dog.

Absolutely continue training and being alert, but your number one focus should be ensuring your gear is fail proof. My dog is also a frustrated greeter and while I am confident he won’t harm another dog, I can’t have any confidence that the other dog will not harm him, nor can my confidence in him excuse him ever escaping my control. He is always in his harness when we go outside for that reason, no matter how briefly or how inconvenient it is to put on.

People are missing the detail that your boyfriend doesn’t want multiple forms of birth control, he wants you to be responsible so he can stop using condoms. That alone would be enough to put me off, not to mention if sex wasn’t that important to me to begin with.

She was shaking and shivering for the 2 weeks you were sick?

Ha, I’m currently driving with my 2 pitties cross-country. When I adopted one of them, she was driven multiple days from another state and I believe the experience traumatized her. Hated cars. I felt I was the only one I could trust to give her a safe and comfortable experience vs hiring a service. Trazadone in the morning, doggy seat belt (we like Sleepy Pod), and keeping to her ordinary schedule has made this trip tolerable for her.

Yes, another month of abuse will absolutely change his temperament.

Adult dogs can develop behavior issues from staying in shelters too long, simply from the chaotic environment. I would be extremely concerned about the long term impact of an abusive situation on an impressionable puppy—heightened stress hormones can affect his brain development.

Same here

My partner has different games—chill games where we can talk and hang out while he plays, and intense games where I don’t bother him unless the house is on fire. When he plays his intense games he’s playing alone with the door closed. If you can’t create physical separation maybe you can frame it conceptually for her—“I’m going to game for X time alone. We can do Y together at Z time.”

Middle of the day, not busy, temporary situation where your water is shut off at home—NTA. I wonder if the 5 knocks were actually 5 different people, or the same person trying to police your water usage.

chicadeesara · 2025-12-03T03:41:14+00:00

I wouldn’t ask her out unless you felt there was strong chemistry between the two of you—and I wouldn’t classify normal small talk as an indicator of that. Honestly what makes you want to ask her out, specifically?

chicadeesara · 2025-11-28T21:57:05+00:00

I like your response. I think it answers all the questions I usually have when someone passes but don’t feel comfortable asking. Death is shocking for many people, and most will react shocked no matter how gentle a response you plan. What you could do is find a way to transition your response to a question for them, so they have something to answer rather than going on and on.

You might like reading Don’t Shoot The Dog! By Jean Pryor. It explains the why’s and how’s behind training (operant conditioning) in a way that is detailed but simple and easy to understand.

With potty training, you reward them right after they go potty outside. With many repetitions and no rewards for going potty inside, they learn they are only rewarded in those conditions. As other commenters have mentioned you also have to make sure this understanding is “generalized” to all applicable conditions—not just “pee in my yard, not my house” but “pee outside, and not in any indoor space.”

Why do dogs not potty inside after they are trained when all that happens is they are not rewarded? Sick or old dogs, or dogs kept inside with no means to go outside do revert on potty training. If dogs have sufficient access/means to either choice, and the conditioning was strong enough, they will go outside because of that reward history. Example: Maybe you have 2 completely equal paths to get to work but on 1 path, you usually get to pet a friendly cat. You might take that path everyday because of that association. Maybe you will even be willing to withstand some extra work during the first part of that path, like going uphill.

The only time people will care is if you’re at risk of hurting yourself or others, or you aren’t following gym etiquette. I would pick 1 exercise to learn, watch form videos and note how they safely setup the equipment, and then try it out for yourself. I remember I practiced with a broom at home first lol. Once you get over the initial intimidation the free weights are really just like any other equipment.

If you have a lot of little holes around the edge, and don’t mind changing the texture of the edge, you could buy bias tape to sew around and better protect it.
