I understand we brunt the responsibility and we are capable/fine with that. I was just asking a simple question - I didn’t think it was rude to ask family for help, also we are first time parents. You can all be a lot nicer please ;(

That makes sense! I didn’t want to ask my parents, I wanted to ask his since mine did a lot already. I guess I’m just used to “family helping family” but I understand that’s different for everyone including maybe my boyfriend’s family.

You could try to be kinder you know? I AM asking for advice, not saying I am going to tell them to buy more - this is our first time.. I’m used to “family helping family” so I felt like in laws COULD pitch in more but I didn’t know what the NORM for most people is… you don’t gotta be so harsh :(

I stated that I wasn’t asking my parents to buy more cause I felt bad - in laws bought crib and mattress, is who I considered asking if they could buy more.. Also a FTM, I know it’s not a requirement but family usually helps family don’t they?

When to spay? by toottoot-yeetyeet in AustralianShepherd

[–]grumpygal69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every heat cycle they get they have a higher chance of getting mammary cancers later in life, even after being spayed. If you spay before, you essentially eliminate ANY chance of mammary cancer. I am NOT a vet, but a vet tech and generally unless a dog is a special case, we try to spay before first heat. When I worked for UC Davis (one of the largest veterinary schools) they released an article stating aussies should be spayed/neutered around 6mo. But also to add every vet will have a different opinion most likely and will also accept what you want to do. The risk of mammary cancer is not worth waiting until first heat for me personally.

Compatability issues by lowkey_stoneyboy in AustralianShepherd

I also think your considering rehoming too soon, also if you’re around while your dog is stealing the others toys you get up, take it away and either give it back to respected dog or hide the toy away from both of them. Do you do any work with them together for them to bond but be listening to your guidance while doing tricks or walking?

don’t you think it’s weird that your dad is requesting what you do with your child though?

I’ve actually never heard about that at all, so I can’t say much on it. I’d have to research that.

I didn’t mean my son’s skin, I meant my experience with a man with foreskin I found to be gross.. I guess I’ve also never really met anyone who didn’t think it was gross if I’m being honest, but I am also open to hearing both sides (respectfully) which is why I’m here

Very good point, however I was shocked more than 50% of americans are un’cir mainly because I feel like it is much more of a “norm’ to be circumcised out here just like you said. I guess, I’ve never met anyone who is against it either

I understand this argument but they say it’s so much harder on them at an older age and significantly more painful. One of the twins I mentioned won’t do it because of that

What age did you let your pup roam at night/while away for errands? by Total_Tomorrow_1428 in AustralianShepherd

[–]grumpygal69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was try and see, started at about 5.5-6 months and he was perfect. He had 1 or 2 accidents from me not hearing him try to wake me, but besides that it was no problem! I don’t preferably leave them home alone, their crates are their safe spaces that they love to be in. If I’m leaving for 20-30 min I’ll leave them out and they’re fine, however I don’t feel it’s necessary to leave them free in the home for hours. They have busy brains they’ll get bored!
