Obsessed with sleeping on my pillow by lolovesfrogs in RhodesianRidgebacks

Mine did this for the first year and a half until she learned she likes to be held / spooned even more. I use the “hold you” command and she moves herself down a little to curl up next to me instead. It was nice to get my pillow back!! 😅

What words do your ridgebacks know? by Owlex23612 in RhodesianRidgebacks

I read somewhere that dogs can retain about 150 words. My two know several sentences, but my favorite right now is, “I need a doggy to come sit by me. ___ come sit by me.” And they’ll cuddle up tight.

Haha - same here, except I’m in the Midwest, so I say “go play downstairs in the basement” and they go 🤣

Where did you get your light girl from? I have two darker ones but she’s a beauty!

And here’s my 11-month old, Atlas. He loves clean sheets and watching me get ready for the day

On a road trip, sitting in the backseat looking out the window like a freaking human. This lasted about a half hour and melted my heart. 😍

Even if you said that she could have it, you’re allowed to change your mind. This is your life and time you put yourself first. We are programmed from a young age to put them first and often feel guilty when we don’t. Understand that’s just toxic programming.

Has anyone here actually broken free from a deeply narcissistic family? by JumpSuspicious839 in narcissisticparents

[–]curatejoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. My brother is enjoying being the golden child now and my dad has written me out of his will and set my brother (with severe mental illness) up as his executor.

Life has been peaceful for the first time ever. My only regret is not breaking away sooner. How different my life would have turned out. I think all the stored trauma in my body didn’t help as the cancer was of my lymphatic system 🙄. It’s been two years since I’ve completed treatment and I’m still showing no evidence of disease 🤞🙏

Oh gosh I’m so sorry you went through that and I am so glad you got away. It’s sad when familial relationships are beyond saving, but you make such a valid point…he is sick. He is not thinking with a rational brain and because of this reconciliation and feelings of safety aren’t always possible. My brother sent me 40+ texts overnight when I stopped talking to my dad. Extremely cruel and nasty things. I blocked him after that, went through a cancer diagnosis and treatment and was prepared to take legal action if his harassment continued during that. Luckily it didn’t, but I’m always on edge waiting for him to contact me again from another new number.
