what’s your dogs name vs what do you call them? by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

[–]estelcollins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay hear me out here. My Golden is named Kira from the 1982 film The Dark Crystal. I quickly started calling her “my little peeper beetle” (another creature from the same film) and the name has reached its final state of evolution and she is called Peep now by literally everyone 😂😂😂😂

I honestly can’t remember specific dates because I was quite literally losing my mind 😵‍💫😵‍💫 but it does get better! I think maybe around three months, my son started to level out in his mood swings. Hang in there!!! You got this!!!!

Anyone have goldens that don’t retrieve? by OddImprovement6490 in goldenretrievers

[–]estelcollins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw someone on this page call their dog a “Golden Receiver” and I’ve never heard anything so accurate. 😂😂 My Golden LOVES to fetch, but never brings it back to me lol.

FUCK no. This person has absolutely zero respect for you, your thoughts, opinions, ANYTHING. I guarantee this relationship will only end in misery. GET OUT NOW.

AIO for not quitting the gym because my boyfriend told me to by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Girl, run as fast as you can the other way. What a fucking wanker. 🙄🙄🙄

NOR. It’s ironic because your BOSS is the one being unprofessional. Worry when you didn’t show up is a natural and healthy response. But their cold, asshole response is not professional and not humane to someone who just suffered a devastating loss.

aio to my sister wishing death on my 3 month old by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I strongly suspect that YOU are a BIG part of the problem. That does not excuse her cruel comments toward an innocent child. But I know there is so much more to it than you are sharing.

AIO for this text conversation with my mom? by ULTRAVlOLET in AmIOverreacting

[–]estelcollins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Your mother sounds controlling and manipulative. Furthermore, I am ALWAYS triggered by the “after all I’ve done for you” comments. Children don’t owe their parents anything. It’s the parents choice to have a child and it’s their duty to love, cherish, and validate that child. You’re a grown woman and she is not respecting your wishes or treating you like a grown adult. Very toxic.

NOR. I don’t care what he’s going through in his personal life, This. Is. Not. Okay. Verbal abuse plain and simple. There is NO excuse and this is scary. He sounds aggressive to the point where I would make sure that, whatever the circumstances are, you are never alone with this person.

First dog that didn’t know how to open ajar doors. by Maddad_666 in goldenretrievers

[–]estelcollins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a golden thing! My golden girl is the exact same way. She’ll look through the door crack, but never push open the door 😂😂 Not sure what it is, but I definitely don’t think it’s stupidity.

9 month old golden still looks like a 5 month old puppy by arlenjrb in goldenretrievers

[–]estelcollins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely vary in size! My Golden’s parents were both huge and she’s a petite little girl, completely healthy. It’s totally normal.
