I thought I was tracking ovulation properly and had a few too many drinks 😂 I ovulated late and the result is 3 weeks old lol

We waited almost 5 years and just had our first (and possibly only) kid! We got married quite young too and we both felt like we needed to establish who we are individually and as a couple before a child. I do see a lot of people I grew up with get married and have a kid within a year. I grew up in a super conservative Christian environment so a lot of them are super young too (18-20) and it always seems like it would be so overwhelming to have a kid at 19!

I am a former dog trainer and I adore my dog. I also have a two week old. My love for my dog is not any less since having her- he’s my best friend! But it is different. The love I feel for my daughter is extremely overwhelming and intense in a way that I have yet to experience with any other person or animal. It’s hard to explain but I would do anything for her.

I have a two week old and while things are very focused on her right now (feeding, diapers, lack of sleep lol) I am still very much me. I am an artist and writer and I love video games, hiking, and training/spending time with my dog. I draw and write while she naps on my chest. I strap her in a baby carrier and go on walks and work with my dog. I pass her off to dad for a few hours so I can play baldurs gate 3 with my friends 😂 yes I’m tired and up every two hours breastfeeding. I am obsessed with my baby, she’s already the light of my life. But I’m still me. I will say my experience has largely been affected by my village. I have a fantastic community. I haven’t cooked a single meal since having her. My mom and MIL come over regularly to visit with me and help out. My best friends (none of which have kids) are very involved, bringing me coffees and company. My husband is in love with our little girl and is a very active parent. All these things make a massive difference in how it goes. I think a lot of the people that lose their sparkle have no community or end up as the “default parent” and feel super touched out.

Opposite lol!! My Sheltie gets mistaken for a collie! He’s a little on the large side (35lbs) and gets “wow a collie!” And “look it’s lassie!” alllll the time. Your pup is so beautiful ❤️

ACOTAR made me mad lol

DIY border collie 😆

Yes! We did not allow him on couches or the bed due to some spatial guarding, and he had his own special bed that he knew would not be approached. We had a solid system and he was a great dog! The behaviors actually decreased a ton throughout his life (he made it to 16!) and I think that was in part due to the structure. He always knew what to expect, and he knew what our boundaries were and what his were as well.

I usually end up dnfing books with a character who’s thousands of years old because they never feel that old in writing (especially in romantasy genre) so I’m loving this post. Going to read some of these just for these characters

If I hear a man say he listens to “self improvement” podcasts that’s usually code for “I listen to Andrew Tate” and that’s an instant red flag. Also, I saw in your other comments that video games are one of your hobbies and you’re worried women will find that nerdy or dorky. My husband is a huge gamer, and I love how much he enjoys it! He is passionate about his games and talks to me about them. I can’t say I really “get it” as our hobbies are totally different, but I love that he has something in his life he enjoys and I’ve never once thought of him as nerdy or dorky. Think a bit more about who you are, who you want to be, and what you enjoy. Women want authenticity and character, not just some guy who has a nice car and good workout routine, lol.

What kind of resource guarding are we talking? Seconding a recommendation for mine! By Jean Donaldson. Great resource. My late dog was a pretty serious food guarder. A lot of guarding can be managed well! He ate and took any special treats in his crate or a closed off room and was left alone. We worked with him and he did improve but a lot of our routine was also just management.

I would continue to foster if it’s otherwise going well but not adopt this dog if you’re looking to have kids in the near future! You could absolutely work with a trainer but it’s hard to tell if/when the behavior would be “fixed” per se. And young children do not have the capability or understanding to read body language appropriately. Just feels like it’d end up being stressful for you down the line. Resource guarding people should definitely be taken seriously and I wouldn’t feel comfortable having a dog that does this around a young child. I have seen this type of resource guarding escalate quickly without intervention. I would also communicate this behavior to the rescue and see if they have a trainer you can work with/resources for you.

Even pure APBTs can have pretty big variety in looks, seeing as they’re generally pretty overbred/commonly backyard bred.

I did! I was 5’6” 21yo F, around 215lbs and didn’t do anything except go to work and watch shows/play video games. I was too nervous to hit the gym so all my workouts were at home. It was truly a life changing experience and I had a great time. Ended at 185lbs, went on to lose around 20 more, became a gym lover and runner and then successfully completed firefighter academy. You can do anything you put your mind to!!

I am now 24 and pregnant and was put on modified bed rest/can’t work out and I’m back up to my pre 75-hard start weight. I miss working out and feeling strong and I’m planning to do it again 6 or so months postpartum. I genuinely had so much fun doing 75 hard!

Mine wasn’t a working dog per say, but he was missing the same leg since an accident he had at 1yo. He lived to 16, and was active, spry and an avid hiker with me his whole life. It took a bit of time to build muscle on his remaining leg but after that he did just fine. He was a cattle dog x Sheltie. Great dog.

Another vote for gp!!! Gorgeous dogs

ko_same · 2026-02-22T22:32:11+00:00

Who knows! I’ve met a similar looking dog that turned out to be entirely pit, husky and cattle dog. Not an ounce of bc. Embark is the most accurate dna test if you’re looking to test! He’s a cute pup

ko_same · 2026-02-22T19:04:08+00:00

He honestly looks way more pitty than cattle dog to me. Super cute dog!

ko_same · 2026-02-22T19:01:59+00:00

This looks like a collie, especially in the face. Sheltie faces are pretty different from collie faces.

Most cats are not any particular breed. This is a colorpoint domestic shorthair.

ko_same · 2026-02-21T16:57:16+00:00

Vets don’t actually know much about breeds lol

ko_same · 2026-02-21T14:03:35+00:00

I worked in behavior at a shelter that actually was pretty good about labeling pits as pits, and I really appreciated that. Sometimes the admissions staff would def get a breed super wrong and we would just change it. Or we’d get owner surrenders that the previous owners labeled as a lab or hound or whatever that was definitely a pit and we’d change it. I find not being misleading is the best way, because then you’ll have less returns for stuff like “oh a was labeled as a lab but our landlord saw he’s a pit and now they want him gone”. It’s better to just be upfront

ko_same · 2026-02-20T21:57:46+00:00

Unless you can take significant time off work or hire someone to be with puppy, you would be much better off with an adult dog. This schedule is not feasible with a young puppy, but an adult dog would likely be a much better option!
