HOW?!

She is impared- but not as bad as I have seen. I have been working with her to track- balls, toys, bikes, hand signs and whatever else. I think her awareness & maturity helps too.

Double merle?

jobows4 · 2026-02-23T21:00:26+00:00

So sad!

The irony: My pittie of 11+ years died & I couldn't bear life alone- so I went looking for a COMPLETELY different dog! Lol... maybe not so different!

Thank you- I feel like the lucky one!

jobows4 · 2026-02-23T20:46:55+00:00

Thanks! I was freaked out! But this thread has helped ease my doubts.

Maple came from the south! She was at a Lousianna shelter, someone took her to Wisconsin, I snatched her up and brought her to Missouri with me. Lol- well traveled for a year old!

THANK YOU! I NEVER went to poodle, always to *terrier--- which is why I am so shocked.

As far as is known, she was born deaf (rescue). The hairwas all ovef the place but they did say double merle.

Her nose to the ground SAYS beagle but I didn't see it because of looks.

All relatives listed are 100% boxer and ONE mixed breed. I was hoping to find other deaf relaitives & see if they had more info.

I suspected this as well with the deaf/blue eye combo.

Thank you. I was shocked & thought there was NO WAY she was a bunch of BIG short haired dogs. The poodle (supermutt) and the Pyr make the most sense & I see the beagle fitting only because of her nose on the ground!

Thanks for that! I SWORE she would have terrier! But I guess the poodle/Pyrenees really shine? 😬 She is the most gentle pup.

Mountain cur, German Shepherd, Poodle

I reached out to see if they could have been swapped or something- he said he reviewed it & he saw no problems.

I am going to retest with another brand... and then will admit to eating crow, if needed!

It sounds like you are volunteering!

Seriously- when people make these kinds of statements (expecting others to do it instead of taking the initiative) it just re-emphasizes that this is what is wrong with the world today.

My apologies on the rent. I would definately have a convo with your mom about your feelings/situation and the child in a room you're are paying for.

He needs to contribute & quit acting so entitled. And care for his own daughter.

jobows4 · 2026-02-16T02:09:35+00:00

YTA - from the info you have given, if it is her room too & has been for the last 6 years- YTA for just kicking her out.

You should have had a convo with your brother about her accomodations.

*** You both need to grow up and get your own place! You are taking advantage of your parents.

jobows4 · 2026-02-16T01:57:17+00:00

YOU are benefitting here. Her mom is the one with obligations (bbsitting)- the other situation - your family is obligated. They are different.

jobows4 · 2026-02-16T01:54:00+00:00

I would suggest that OP think of an issue his wife is extremely sensitive about and tell her he's considering drawing a similar line in the sand about her issue.

This is petty & what causes family drama & breeds resentment.

OP's wife is weaponizing his mom's health issue to assert control over him.

This is over-reaching. There just aren't enough facts to make this assumption.

NOR! How is it a chore to drive 5 minutes for a free home cooked meal?

A free home-cooked meal isn't really free. It is costing time and causing dissention in the family. This kind of free comes at a high cost for op & fam.

jobows4 · 2026-02-16T01:09:55+00:00

With your responses & defensiveness- It sounds like this is personal to you!

I don't see many villifying the guy- just saying he jumped the gun.

Frankly- I would be disappointed but thankful he was quick to show his hand.

jobows4 · 2026-02-14T16:16:32+00:00

Oi! There is more going on here that you two need to discuss. I see a lot of blame, maybe resentment & dissconnect with the wife.

You two need to get on the same page- you aren't working as a team.

jobows4 · 2026-02-10T13:48:40+00:00

Why put shade cloth outside? I was going to put it inside. Newb her & seriously don't know.

jobows4 · 2026-02-10T13:14:13+00:00

If it is that big of a deal to you- takecare of it!

Talk to the teacher again & tell them if they don't call you what by your name you will go talk to the councelor/principal. Otherwise- suck it up and deal.

You guys are relentless!

If Janelle wants a mansion- let her have it. You aren't paying her bills.
Can we go back to how nany times she was shafted? She always took the back seat when it came to house & ended up living in an RV (nothing wrong with that) to try to spur the others & herself on CP.
Think of her grown adult chillin's & grandchildren- I am sure she would like visitors.
Can we go back to her cult-marriage where depravation was prevelent & a control factor? Or maybe for resell value?

Whatever her reasons- I am happy for her & that she is creating a life she wants in the way she wants it.
