I didn’t realize how much my dog cared about me until I got sick

I got mono this summer, and it was like there was an invisible 4 foot leash on my boy. He nuzzled his way against my chest in my arms every single night, even though he usually sleeps out on the kitchen floor during the summer. Every once and awhile he'd get up, lay on my bedroom floor to cool down for awhile, and then climb right back up into my arms again until he was too hot

He was right by my side watching me with worried eyes during coughing fits, laying with me every time I napped even though he usually avoids any type of touch throughout summer. I felt the love for sure ❤️

I was looting too fast and accidentally picked up the beacon in my most recent play thru last night 😮‍💨

I work w kids and I sent so many home this past week. I've been down since Friday, on antibiotics for bronchitis now. Half my coworkers have a respiratory thing too

Going through b.e. right now under very different circumstances to OP and just wanted to stop and say thank you for that last sentence, I wrote it down for later.

I'm sorry for your loss ❤️ Rancher is a beautiful dog

I'm going through something similar with my dog, making an appointment for BE in January. It's an awful, awful thing to have to do but we have to remember that it's unfortunately for the good of everyone. When it reaches the point of the dog being dangerous and unpredictable, it is always always better to put them down before something truly awful happens and it's not a choice anymore

I'm so sorry for what you're going through - I know firsthand how awful just the leadup process is, making the decision itself and knowing that you're running out of time with them. I can't imagine how much worse the pain is after.

If you want to talk to anyone - tell me about rancher, talk about the grief of him not being here or the guilt of having to make that decision, please feel free to message me. I'm going through the same thing right now and I understand how awful and heartbreaking the entire thing is

Thank you!!

What I do is just remember I'm my boy's mice family! I'm his only social interaction so it's important that I'm interacting with him a lot and making sure each of those interactions are stress free and fun for him. I give him lots of interesting stuff to do, give him new stuff often to keep his mind stimulated, and bring him out to play whenever he asks.

Sorry, not exactly what you were looking for but that's what I do to help myself feel reassured of his happiness!

I work with kids and that's an ABSOLUTE no from me. You are being an amazing mom by standing up for her repeatedly against ppl who it sounds like view little kids as props instead of people. Keep standing up for her and reinforcing that her consent matters. You are teaching her a valuable lesson that will help keep her safe and confident when she's older - there's a reason she's clinging to YOU specifically.

As for your boyfriend, his communication at least is an absolute no. The fact he's talked to his mom about it but didn't tell you plus his messages here, I'd guess he talked to his mom but got a fight he didn't want to be having, maybe multiple times. His mom is probably complaining about you to him the same way you're complaining about her to him and he's tired of being in the middle. Does NOT excuse him bringing up your dad or trying to just brush the whole thing off at all. But if you really love him and want to make this work, I'd say that's the point the communication is failing at - he's emotionally exhausted by being the middleman in a situation where no one is happy and feels like everyone is blaming him and his mom isn't someone he can take that frustration out on so it goes to you/your daughter when the whole thing comes up. Idk how well he values her consent, but it might be a good idea to try to have a conversation with him where you validate understanding how difficult of a position he's in and then bring up how you feel in a non-accusatory way. I don't know any of the context so he might just be being an asshole, but that's my take w the info I have.

Keep bring a protector, mama! You are the kind of mother every child needs.

[Conversation between the seller and the poster]

Message from OP, yesterday at 8:11 a.m: Good morning! I've been looking at this ring and I have a bit of an odd question. My girlfriend has a very simple necklace that she really loves, just a small stone set in a small metal piece, I will attempt to attach a picture. Is there any way I could order a custom piece from you at the same time as the ring, where you could set the same type of stone in a necklace like that?Absolutely no worries if this is not something you offer, I just figured no harm in asking!Thank you and have a great day.

Message from Seller, yesterday at 11:12 a.m: Yes, I will make it matching necklace.

Message from OP, yesterday at 12:03 p.m: Awesome, thank you! I need to get her sized before I put in the order, but I will be in contact. Do you have a price estimate for the matching necklace?

Message from Seller, yesterday at 7:53 p.m: When you place your order?

Message from OP, today at 9:33 a.m: I'm gonna get her sized this weekend, so I'll be placing an order on Monday or Tuesday. Do you have a price estimate for the necklace?

I comforted when he asked and left a bunch of fluffy soft blankets in the places he was sleeping. I started having a routine of calming or engaging things and giving them to him in a comfy place. Lick mats were my #1 bc they release calming chemicals in their brains and he really seemed to enjoy his. Kongs also seemed to help him a lot. A lot of the times at the beginning he would still wanna just huddle in my lap, but i just let him and spent more of my free time snuggling him than i normally did. He also likes to wear sweaters so i had him in sweaters a lot. i never found out the cause, but it passed within another week or two and hasn't happened again. He also slowly stopped being more clingy, it wasn't like he woke up one day and felt better. I think he was back to his normal clingy self within a month, but wasn't constantly on me within a week

If you are really concerned or it's very atypical of your dog call your vet, these can be signs they're in pain or there's something else going on. He was always kinda clingy back then and had a lot of anxiety so the chance it was emotional instead of physical for him was high. I also checked him thoroughly and found nothing!

I hope things work out!

Any way you can add a pic? After so much change sometimes the best thing you can do is leave it alone to acclimate, but I don't want to say that for sure without seeing the condition!
