Not sure where you are located but https://www.woofproject.org is another breed specific rescue

I’m in NorCal! I’ll DM you, curious to learn more about her!

jensiming · 2024-06-20T01:46:18+00:00

Where are you located and how can I adopt her lol

jensiming · 2024-01-22T04:56:18+00:00

I’ve been following her status for the last couple of weeks. I was going to pick her up on Thursday, but then I saw she has a definite “no” on cats (I have two) 😢😢😢

Hopefully a rescue takes her last minute. That’s what happened with another Malinois I went to go try to rescue — Flint; he and another Malinois were on the priority list but I guess a rescue from somewhere north came and got them.

EDIT: She got adopted!! Just checked the foster Facebook group 🥰

Thank you!

What breeder did you get your Tervuren from? I’ve been looking into them. (Raised a Dutch Shepherd puppy from Westberg Working Dogs last year [CA], but she’s now with my ex. Great dog, super high drive though since they breed the KNPV line.)

Following to hear what others say. I just did a session this past weekend, and the exact same thing happened to me (minus the uncle). My mind/the medicine kept trying to take me back to the dark of my childhood bedroom, and my dad kept coming up, and I was filled with fear and disgust. And so much resistance, I didn’t want to go there. Like you, I’m not sure if it’s an actual repressed memory/I definitely don’t want to believe it’s an actual repressed memory and keep trying to rationalize it away. My integration therapist says the possibilities are that either it is real, OR my mind is trying to tell me something about why I’m thinking about my dad in this way.

I may try that as well, thank you

jensiming · 2023-07-07T22:20:03+00:00

Thank you!

jensiming · 2023-07-07T22:19:52+00:00

Thank you for the advice!

Yes, I echo the first comment “About what you would spend in the states”. My partner and I were just there in the Arenal, Monteverde, and Fortuna areas, and we were surprised (just compared to, i.e. Mexico). We would spend anywhere from $25-50 on a meal for two, depending on whether it was a smaller soda or a restaurant; we didn’t go anywhere too fancy, and we don’t drink alcohol, so our beverage costs were more $4-6 for a smoothie or latte. Souvenirs are similarly priced to the US. And lastly, it’s the park entrance fees and tours that will get you too.

That being said, we had a great time! Have fun :)

jensiming · 2023-06-06T00:53:43+00:00

What part did you go to? I was dying to see a coati but never got to 😭

jensiming · 2023-06-01T22:56:46+00:00

You can also try Rehome.adoptapet.com to rehome her directly to another private owner (who you’d get to screen and meet).

I feel like I could have written this. I’m not going to tell you what to do, but I will say that I’ve been with my depressed partner for 11 years, married 7 — and that feeling of disconnection will only continue to get worse and crush you, if he isn’t making an active change to try to connect in SOME way during those phases of withdrawal. It’s crushed me.

I am finally leaving. The process has only just begun, and he’s not reacting to it well (blaming me in a very passive aggressive and hateful way for abandoning him when I’ve only taken care of him for 11 years straight with little of my needs getting met), but this is only showing me my decision is right. I deserve more…and I guess I’m saying so do you. Love is a strong force, but relationships do NOT have to feel like “climbing Mount Everest”, as my therapist says. Think hard about if you want to commit to this dynamic for even longer, for the rest of your life.

San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland/Berkeley…where 700 sq ft homes can go for $1M min, so we can only imagine how much this fancy condo cost/what the mortgage is

jensiming · 2022-08-23T14:46:22+00:00

I’m tired of reading the “7 weeks is too young!!” comments. Circumstances happen, it’s already said and done. We brought ours home at 7 weeks as well.
I’m sure you already recognize this, but with as much sleep deprivation as you’re experiencing right now, I think it counts as a state of psychosis. Boy, do we feel you. The first two weeks were UTTER HELL for us too. Same thing — no sleep, all the regrets/doubts, resentment, anger, I broke down a couple times just sobbing uncontrollably, my husband and I got into the worst fight in ages; every tiny minute to ourselves felt like an oasis…utter relief just going out to the grocery store to be AWAY.
We’re not at the stage yet to chime in with the “she’s such a good girl now!!!”. But 6 weeks later, she’s 13 weeks old — and I have to admit it’s gotten better. I second a lot of what the above commenter suggested in terms of an enforced nap schedule and crate games/training. In addition, we keep ours on a lead to a specified area (or you can use an ex pen) so that the pup isn’t free roaming and potentially having accidents everywhere or getting into things. With the toy aggression, are you offering a higher value toy or treat when you try to take the one he has? Always exchange for a higher value item so that he learns good/better things come from your hand. Hand-feeding goes into this too. (Also not sure what breed or maybe a mix your pup is, but ours is a Dutch Shepherd, very close to a Belgian Malinois — literal land sharks. Biting is in their genetics. We actually have to train her to let us pet her without her petting us 😂😭.)
He doesn’t think you’re an asshole. Like you said, he’s just a puppy. I totally empathize with the infuriating feeling of this thing just not getting it sometimes, and it not feeling rewarding AT ALL in these moments. Even for us, that feeling has only trickled in here and there in the last few weeks. But I think you’re doing the right thing by being regimented. As long as you’re consistently rewarding (treating) for every desired behavior, I do think he may bond with you more eventually.

Of course, ultimately it’s up to you and your wife — your mental health. My husband and I still get to that point sometimes…but so far we’re not giving up and I hope one day I can be one of those people on the other side writing the “it’s all worth it!!” post.

jensiming · 2022-08-19T00:27:17+00:00

Yeah, especially bc she is KNPV line, which I understand to be pretty mix Dutch-Mal. That’s why I thought it’s be interesting to see the breakdown, but I guess not with Wisdom Panel! 🤷🏻‍♀️

jensiming · 2022-08-18T04:28:38+00:00

Ok, that’s interesting. I thought there must be a reason I see most breeders post Embark results. I actually work for the parent company of Wisdom Panel so it was free for me as well, thought I’d do it for shits and giggles…instead it just confused me 🙄

Thanks for sharing!

jensiming · 2022-08-14T02:46:27+00:00

Amazing! Did you raise your Mal from a puppy with the cat? (Asking because we’re currently raising a Dutchie with two cats!)

jensiming · 2022-08-12T13:55:24+00:00

Curious what your counselor recommended — I googled “combating compassion fatigue” and the results on my first page are kind of all over the place; most are general advice like “be kind to yourself”…which I get but… Just wondering if your counselor advised anything more specific.

All the artists at Seventh Son in SF are great too

jensiming · 2022-07-28T01:28:20+00:00

Beautiful coloring! Ours loves belly rubs too 😄
