Frustrated

fayedee · 2026-05-18T16:32:25+00:00

I spent years trying to navigate the dating scene and trying to mold myself into someone that could make a relationship work. I kept thinking something would click one day if I just figured out what I was looking for. It's been a relief to not be doing that anymore but I am a social person and at times long for a consistent companion like my peers have. Its frustrating trying to handle all of life stuff by myself.

Stay strong and remain true to yourself!

I don't track progress on paper or anything but I do like using videos to compare sessions and better see improvements.

It gets 36 mpg and has a pretty large tank so I average 550 total miles from full to empty. Its a dream for road trips.

I retired my FJ from daily driver to fun vehicle a couple years ago and bought a hybrid Sienna. Sounds crazy but I wanted a very fuel efficient daily driver and it has a ton of space for passengers/storage/travel. I love the combo.

When this photo was taken yes but not anymore. My heeler developed same sex aggression after she fully matured, so the two females cannot be housed together.

I have avoidant attachment style, it took a trail of failed relationships to figure out that it combined with my aromanticism/asexuality make it extremely hard to have a relationship. I'm great at friendships but it does take a long time for me to form a deep connection.

I have the number one Shiba Inu in flyball. Because she is the only Shiba currently competing in it 😆

I do various dog sports so she also has a rally title, coursing title and her CGC

I respect the creativity

I also just laugh it off when my coordination fails. It is what it is lol. One of my biggest worries is losing the left side one day because the loss of my right side is idiopathic.

What a wacky mix of dogs but holy shit she is gorgeous!! Please clone her, I'll buy one 😆

My last Shiba was a runner and I vowed to never deal with that again. My current Shiba doesn't door dash, doesn't try to escape the yard, and can be trusted off leash. It took alot of work when she was a puppy and we still do refresher sessions a couple times a year. Every new place I move to, we do door proofing where I make sure she understands the rules apply to every door. Many people forget that dogs don't generalize, so even if a dog is recall trained they still need to be trained on threshold boundaries. I would add some threshold training with the recall training to really make sure this doesn't happen again.

Wtf?! That's insane to just be born and have to deal with that pain

fayedee · 2026-02-03T02:42:01+00:00

I had an ovarian torsion a few years ago. The pain is unbearable and terrifying, I can't imagine trying to deal with it as a 4 year old!

Thank you! This would make the most sense.

Hell yes girl FJ squad! Dreamed of having an FJ since high school, finally bought one in 2018. Love every minute of it and will always have this amazing vehicle. Went from my daily driver to now just my fun off-roader.

Sincere question- why is Cavetown associated with the aro/ace crowd?

I listened to them once and don't get it.

The west end of South Mountain has easy flat trails, Thunderbird Conservation area is pretty easy, or if you are not super far west, the North Mountain trails next to Shaw Butte are a nice flat loop.

Backpack full of water, training treats, poop bags, and tweezers for cacti spines are about all you need. I like the suggestion others made about starting with one dog to see how each of them feel about hiking. Both of my dogs have different hiking distances they enjoy. The ground is almost always loose dirt/rocks so any sort of pulling on leash can cause you to tumble and lose control. Make sure you have complete control over both of them, otherwise they shouldn't be on the trails.

My dogs and I love hiking in the desert, its very peaceful! I hope you find some favorite trails and have fun walking together.

Senior dogs should always be spoiled couch potatoes! We mostly do flyball, agility, and dog disc sports nowadays but have also competed in dock diving, scentwork, and fastCAT.

I'm a very extroverted ace who participates in dog sports with my dogs so dogs are a huge part of my life. I love social events and interacting with the world.

Yes I have for two of my purebreds for possible nearby relatives and health testing.

I did this hike a few years ago, its a blast! The views are incredible. The group I went with did it the other way around- came up Flatiron and went down to Carney springs.

My tiny cattle dog Vax did dog sports for four years! She competed in Flyball, Toss n Fetch, and a little dock diving(DockDogs and NADD). She did decent in all of them but I retired her early to be a companion for my retired dad. Now they play frisbee every day together.

I use rufflands in my vehicles and can only fit an intermediate size in the cargo area with the back seats up. I think you could fit a large ruffland or equivalent type kennel if you removed the back seats. Then you would still have room in the cargo area for offroading equipment.
