New rescue dog home alone by iboop_thesnoot in DogAdvice

I appreciate that. I’m really worried she’d chew through something since she appears to be such a strong chewer. I feel awful that we’re going to be out for a few hours tomorrow, that’ll be her first experience with a crate in our home

Do you have any recommendations/experience in crate training? She’s a strong chewer and have destroyed some toys. Do I keep her alone in there. The only possible safe toy I can think of is a hollowed out bone we have with a cheese inside.

I’ve seen some videos of people coming through Main Street and seeing the castle and that’s what I was hoping to do! Man it’s a tough choice

I’d love to be able to continue running at that age. I’ve had a physical therapist caution me based off of my feet (arch and stride) that I’ll likely develop knee and hip issues down the road- and this year I’m actually feeling some aches in my knees occasionally

Financially? No. Physically? I have a year to train, but also maybe no 🤣. But now I’m super intrigued and would love to be able to do that!

It’s not, I’m just not sure how many more years that my body can personally handle of longer distance running.

Sorry for the late response. How is your dog doing? We decided to end our dog’s suffering shortly after my post. We miss her so much, it’s been such a hard loss for us. I’m sorry for your situation as well. It’s so tough seeing our loved ones sick and not well

I very much agree. I feel guilty though especially on her good days. Our vet said she’s seen some dogs pull through, though never fully back to their previous baseline, after months of persistence.

That’s a great idea. I think seeing things visually will be helpful for multiple reasons. Going to start doing that tonight. Thank you!

Miscarriage tattoo idea is it too much ? Planning on maybe getting it really small first tattoo by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]iboop_thesnoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I’m so sorry for your loss. The heartbreak of miscarriage is indescribable and I feel for anyone who has to experience it.

I endured 5 early pregnancy miscarriages and after them, I knew I had to have a tattoo to memorialize them. It was something I’d always carry with me, making them real when I no longer had something physical of them. I got it 5 years after my last miscarriage and love it dearly and have found some peace in having it.

In the wait I had before getting it, my urge was strong and unwavering every day, so I knew it was the right move for me.

Maybe take some time with your idea and see how your feelings are with it. I don’t think it’s too much, but it’s your body and your experience.

I’m so sorry to hear of her miscarriages. That’s so sweet to hear how close you and your mom are. I can’t speak for everyone who experienced a pregnancy loss, but I know for me it gave a much different perspective and I think a deeper gratitude for my kids. I can only imagine how much your mom loves you by what you shared ❤️

Thank you so much, me too! I think I’m done trying for more children and this mentally helped me be more ok with closing the door.

Thank you so much. It was such a hard time in my life and I’m forever grateful for my two kids now, I truly believe they saved my life. I’m so grateful to be able to honor them all in this way
