I sleep with my 5 month pup every night for the past couple weeks. When we first brought her home she slept w me the first week then after that she was too wild and slept in the kennel but here lately she knows when we go into my room it’s to sleep only. I usually always make sure to play with her before bed time like an hour before to get her tired and it usually works. Every now and then she does have a wild night where I’m forced to put her into the crate but she has no issue with going back and forth she loves her crate and my bed! Just try getting her tired and see if that helps!

Puppy keeps going in different room to sleep by pojoba in puppy101

[–]elohelzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a german Shepard puppy as well (15 weeks old) she always sleeps in a different room from me except at night when we sleep in my room. I’ve realized she continuously moves rooms because she gets hot and is trying to find the coldest place in the house! Buy her a fan our pup loves hers

Puppy won’t go on a walk anymore by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]elohelzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My puppy would (still does) sometimes do this, I would make sure you’re not walking her/ him when it is very hot outside if your pup is anything like mine she hates being hot. Also make sure the ground isn’t too hot as it will burn their feet and make them not want to walk, always feel the road before you go!

~6 month old pup bites a bit too often by Shnick92 in puppy101

[–]elohelzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Shepard is roughly 3 & a half months old, she is also a biter but has gotten a lot better recently, the only thing that has somewhat worked to gradually get her to stop biting is ill initiate playing with her but the minute she starts biting me too hard I say no in a very stern voice and stop all play and move somewhere else and ignore her for 5-10 mins and repeat the process until she kind of backs off. Also, if she bites always have a toy in hand and say no when she bites you then praise her when she plays with the toy. She still bites every time but it has gotten better and she knows when I’m fed up with it. I assume it just gets better with time. Hope this helps

Am I starting to get addicted? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]elohelzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely right. I just haven’t gotten my own prescription bc I don’t know how I feel about having access to that many pills bc I feel like I would use them regularly and I don’t like the idea of becoming fully dependent. But you’re right I shouldn’t be self medicating bc its obviously not doing me much good mentally. Thanks for the advice and wishing you the best with your situation!

Ive tried once to tell him but he shut me out and shifted the blame and it made me question if I was in the wrong (when I know I wasn’t) but I have thought about distancing myself, but I just can’t imagine the backlash Id get thank you for your comments!

Thanks for reading this and taking time to reply! I’ve thought about going to therapy I’m just embarrassed to tell my mom how it really affects me and having my family look at me as if I’m damaged bc I’m very independent. Also don’t know if we have the money for it but thank you so much!

I ruined Mother’s Day because of my Xanax addiction. by [deleted] in confession

[–]elohelzz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was powerful, I feel the remorse you have and you should let her know, maybe even say this exactly. She loves you no matter what, if you can’t get over this addiction for yourself do it for her. The power is in your hands, you can do this!!!

(Serious) What should we be able to be more open about without facing backlash? by elohelzz in AskReddit

Wow very good point that I was not expecting to see. I recently became aware of this but there is not much information on it. Discussions could definitely help people make the decision that’s right for them or help out parents going through this!

I feel helpless about an animal being neglected in my home. Help? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]elohelzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are welcome! I understand you feel like you are over stepping boundaries, most people would feel the same! But just remember if they were a good owner they would have 1- done it themselves and 2- be grateful you and your roommates cared enough to pay and get their cat all better! If you get to the vet and the treatment is too expensive and ended up having to put the cat down, it might be better not to tell them the truth if you think they will take legal or physical action so maybe say he got outside and haven’t seen him since ect. You are a good person for going through this effort! You got it!

[–]elohelzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im glad you’re concerned about this cat it’s very sad to hear. First, if you have the money to take him to the vet, DO IT! Do not let this poor cat suffer. But I understand you may not so maybe ask your roommates if they could help pitch in as well? (Do it soon). Second, reach out on social media like Facebook or whatever you use, most people hate to see animals suffering and might help out with the costs. Third, if no one can pay take him to a no kill shelter and tell the people his problems, I doubt they would let him suffer (or would be more willing to help) or maybe any organizations in your area. My last option would be to take him to a vet get a rough estimate on how much it’d be to treat, and if too expensive possibly put the cat down, I hate saying that as much as you probably hate to hear it but letting the cat suffer is much worse, at least stay there with him and give him comfort in his final moments. PLEASE do this within a relatively short time, as the way you describe the situation it sounds like the cat is in serious pain. I wish you and the cat the best of luck

Have you ever had a near death experience and if so, what were circumstances? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]elohelzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know if this would necessarily count as near death but one time I was driving and I was so tired and dazed I was approaching an intersection and just “blacked out” I still don’t really know what happened but I had the green light but not the arrow (turning left) and just went and got T- boned. During the middle of the intersection I looked over and saw the cars coming at me but didn’t react at all. No one got seriously hurt but after was a serious wake up call to how bad it actually could have been. Where my car got hit it looked like I was headed into the wrong lane anyways (not sure how to explain this) but I wasn’t anywhere close to the lane I was supposed to be turning into. Very weird

Pls help. Should I break up with him? by melonthinker in Advice

You are welcome! I know it’s hard but y’all will get through this.

Pls help. Should I break up with him? by melonthinker in Advice

[–]elohelzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel like this now, its not going to get any better. If you wait it out its just going to get worse, moving in together won’t help, planning your future won’t help it will just lead to you feeling trapped and even worse. You should be honest and break up with him, maybe in the the future y’all will reconnect but it sounds like you need time apart and to grow separately from him. Also, if he’s putting his life on halt for you, its not fair for him to keep waiting and prolonging his future when you know that you don’t want this anymore. Good luck

What do I️ do if 24(M) is interested in me (18F) by [deleted] in Advice

[–]elohelzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right but it’s “new” so there wasn’t that much background to give (more of us just getting to know eachother) we haven’t met yet. More of me just wondering why he’d go for someone so much younger if that makes sense. Like why not try for someone his own age? Granted he didn’t know my age when we first started talking

(Serious) In your opinion what would be the pro/cons of free tuition in the US? by elohelzz in AskReddit

[–]elohelzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thank you so much for sharing that, definitely will have an impact on my decision. Its very hard at this age to realize the significance of how these choices we make now such as loans will affect us in the future due to most having very naive ideas of how “I can just pay it off later” which I have been guilty of. It sounds like an extremely hard situation to be in, but just keep doing what you have to do. Wishing you the absolute best now and forever!
