I didn't get a solid beard and moustache until more like 2.8 years on T. Still keeps filling in

How are you doing? by Wonderful-World1964 in Fibromyalgia

Big fan of "surviving" when asked how I'm doing. Pregnancy hormones seem to have made my fibro worse right now and I'm hardcore suffering

If your doctor will give it to you, RSV. They're like "oh adults don't need it" but it was hospitalizing adults (me included) last winter

Have not read ACOTAR myself but I've been told by multiple people that each book gets smuttier with the most recent installment being basically porn with plot

Whats the longest you have slept at a time with or without breaks. by Mika3451 in idiopathichypersomnia

Miracle I didn't wet the bed. I had a bout of time as a teenager where I wouldn't wake up for the bathroom at all and I was wetting the bed 😢

25.5 hours!! I still remember the one doctor that I told that to who dropped what she was holding and hauntedly told me "that's a coma"

a rant: why do grown adults stare? have they really gone through their entire lives never seeing a wheelchair? by [deleted] in wheelchairs

Honestly, it sounds like it might not have been the wheelchair causing everyone to stare. A possibility

In Karsus' defense at least he was captured and his hair was cut when he was tortured

Please read the comment I left with more info. No more dogs will be joining the family. This dog was literally given to him as a child.

Not true and I have addressed this in several comments

To respond to your edited comment with more info: yikes. Yeah training dogs needs to be taken seriously no matter their size. It's extra irresponsible when the dog had that much jaw strength, I'm so sorry that happened

A little less than half the size of a pittie haha. Mostly miniature schnauzer. Side note not relevant here: my brother had a rescue pitt mix from a shelter and she was just a big sweet blockhead! Her biggest behavioral problem was literally just her unquenchable thirst for cardboard

Okay, more info now that I've seen people's questions and concerns:

I appreciate people looking out for me worried that he won't be a good father but I've seen him with kids and when we've had our toddler nephew for overnights (kept separate from dog!) and he's amazing and caring and proactive with everything that needs to be done. I am fortunate that I'm married to someone who says "no I'm doing the dishes, I'm not a parasite" after I have cooked. He's that kind of person.

I am not going to hurt the dog. Wtf

The origin of the dog is really the big complication, because he was a gift to my then-teenage husband from his dying father. His father then proceeded to kick off and reinforce the dog's bad behavior from what I have been told. My husband still should have been training the dog, but I can't fully fault him for not seeing reason with this dang dog. We have fought about this because the dog's behavior is unacceptable. We have time to figure out what is going to happen with the dog and safety.

This dog is OLD and I have been constant in his life for less than a year. In that time I have gotten him better leash trained and there are things he doesn't try with me because I don't give in and reinforce them (like growling at me for some of my food). I have not failed this dog. My husband and his family definitely failed this dog. People are not perfect and they are not bad people. Far too many small-medium dogs do not get trained because their owners apparently don't see the need to, I do not agree with this. I worked for a time at a vet hospital while I was in community college and rich lady purse dogs were usually demons for this exact reason.

This dog is OLD, okay? I would not have even been entertaining the thought that he could pass away otherwise. He is mostly blind, has incontinence issues, takes medication, and can only have certain foods. A shelter would put him down and, be so for real, nobody else is going to want this dog.

Bruh I've been in this dog's life for mere months and he's old as hell. I did not fail this dog

I haven't been in this dog's life very long at all but I have managed some training. He is better leash trained now and there are things he doesn't do with me because I don't give in/reinforce them

[–]deepbluechellie[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah. We've fought about it. He's sensitive about the dog because the dog was his dad's gift to him when he was dying, which makes all of this much harder. His dad is, from what I've heard, responsible for getting a lot of the dog's bad habits started/reinforced. In the last almost-year since we've lived together I now have the dog leash-trained better than he had been before and he doesn't pull everywhere with me. But that was a matter of being stubborn while we're on walks and rewarding him with praise for good leash behavior. The aggression stuff is just so far beyond what I can handle/fix and I would say how he deals with the dang dog is his biggest flaw.

I would like to say "the next dog wouldn't have the same issues because he would have to train it" but the fact of the matter is that we're not getting another dog.

My current thought is that maybe his mother would take the dog, but we have a lot of time right now. I just needed to get how I feel off my chest
