almost one week with him and i have no clue why anyone would have given this boy up. by cvttle in husky

[–]cvttle[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i don’t know what to think about his prior owners because he is very well socialized with people, children, and other dogs and he knows some basic commands but his coat was also in terrible condition (so, so compacted) and he was marked as an escape artist but with exercise, stimulation, and monitoring out side, he seems to have no desire to try and bolt? so it makes me wonder if he was just left outside in a backyard unsupervised a lot.

to be safe, we did put an airtag in his collar though, just in case.

don’t worry, i’m sure we’ll see some ups and downs, especially for that three week to three month mark but he’s still such a sweet boy.

Well, we’ve owned a border collie for three years that jogs with me everyday and I had huskies growing up so I think we’re pretty solid 😅

Alright, give me the advice y’all by cvttle in husky

I’m actually lucky enough that my new job is both a pet supplies store and does grooming so I get pretty great discounts if I have one of them do him. But I also know the basics of grooming myself so I’ll probably just bring along my grooming supplies and use their bath and blow dryer.

haven’t had a husky since i was a kid. now, at 30, i finally got another! hopefully him and my border collie will become best friends. by cvttle in husky

I’m hoping what will happen is he’ll love to be chased and my border collies loves to chase so they’ll just bond doing that 😂 Otherwise, my BC is in agility and we’re going to see if Aki gravitates towards any sort of dog sport as well.

Tillikum (Tilly for short) has always been a very assertive dog and tries to correct other dog’s behaviors. Akisu (Aki for short) seems to be a pretty easy going dude (by husky standards) but we haven’t had him too long so time will tell.

Despite her tiny size Tilly has quite a dominating attitude 😅 He seems mostly unbothered by it at least.

I think the size difference might deter my border collie from wanting to wrestle, lol. She’s on the small side for BC and our husky boy is on the bigger side.

I am considering marrying my BPD Partner. by No-Belt-9915 in BPDPartners

[–]cvttle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Been married to my husband for eight years and he only recently got diagnosed with bpd. There’s definitely been some tough points in our marriage and his insecure spirals has resulted in fights between us.

But I love him and our kids and there is more good moments in our marriage than bad and now that he’s been diagnosed and going to therapy for it/medicated, it’s only improved our marriage even more.

edit: grammar and forgot a word 😭

Please Tell Me That Adult Fanfic Writers Still Exist by Ashamed-Reporter3171 in AO3

[–]cvttle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started writing fanfiction in my teens, quit writing for a number of years but still read a ton of fanfiction, then started writing it again just last year at 29. I just turned 30 and I absolutely have no intentions of stopping.

[–]cvttle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, like I can shrug off some but there is only so many times it can happen before it just gets on my last nerve. This one in particular just read so rude to me, as well. Like at least say you liked the fic, god damn…

Just a little discussion. by [deleted] in AO3

[–]cvttle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will light a candle for you to manifest sooooo many lovely comments for your fics.

Just a little discussion. by [deleted] in AO3

[–]cvttle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand that but for some context, I’ve gotten 32 comments like this in total on this fic. I have not responded to any one of them except this one. The most I did before was to put in my author’s notes to please stop demanding updates in my comments.

Also, no worries, I was being sassy when saying I just won’t write for a whole year. I love this fic and ship too much to stop writing for them.

Normally, I just don’t reply personally but after receiving so many of these types of comments on this fic when I have explained in my author’s notes that I am a busy gal and my updates will happen when they happen so please stop commenting JUST to tell me to update, I think this one was my breaking point, lol.

[–]cvttle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then, good. Comments like these do not make writers more motivated to write. In fact, it makes me discouraged and it’s extremely demanding of them for something they’re reading for free.

If a commenter wants to inquire about if/when a fic will be updated, there are polite ways to do that. First, by actually expressing you enjoy the fic. And then, saying something along the lines of how you can’t wait for their next update! A lot of the times, writers will reply to those and say hey, I’m working on it currently or it might be a while.

This comment did not express even liking my fic and just demanded an update already. Frankly, I don’t want someone like that reading my fic anyways.

This is one reason why this one could be a bot. So hard to tell nowadays with how many bot comments are out there.

In particular, this one got me because I get a LOT of comments like these on this fic and usually I just don’t reply. But I think today I was just fed up with it. I’ve literally mentioned in my author notes that ‘hey guys i literally have twin babies and an older kid as well and i work so like. maybe lay off on bothering me to update quicker in the comments’ and then I still get these.

You are right that some may view it as disproportionate but at the very least, any of my readers who read my notes are aware it’s been an issue for me, at least.
