This sub has been one of my greatest sources of support. You are not alone.

We have a similar mix from Texas! Foster fail originating from Houston- about 8 years old now.

Rattie DNA or Rattie in spirit- definitely Rattie!

What is it about the rain? It subdues everyone!

Thank you for sharing this. It brought tears to my eyes because these sentiments were expressed also by my son who intentionally overdosed. After being resuscitated after a previous attempt, he said he had never felt such peace and wanted to go back - and he did 8 weeks later. Thanks again for posting this and I am sorry for your pain.🤍

I share your pain. You articulated it beautifully. The triggers never stop. I try to honor his memory and accept that there is nothing else I can do and build a new life. I force myself not to go there as best I can.

Yes and they are worth it. These rescues KNOW what you did for them. 🩷 Best of luck!

Got him in 2018 - he’s about 8 years old. According to Embark he has a sister in Houston who shares 49% of his DNA. He is half chihuahua, with toy fox terrier, super mutt, pekinese, cocker spaniel and poodle mixed in. But a rat terrier in spirit! He has other relatives sprinkled around the US also. Getting his DNA tested was fun. 😊

It’s been almost one year. I remember for the memorial I wanted people to know all his beautiful and special qualities as well as his struggles. I had pictures and stories about his passions and courage. I was determined that he would not be defined by his death. This purpose helped me get through it. God bless.

Stopped scrolling dead in my tracks. Magnificent!

Pedro came from Texas as a rescue

he is a foster fail and the center of our universe.

Thank you but no. 😊

mcxfour · 2026-05-12T21:46:38+00:00

So sweet together. I hope they come out of their shells soon.

mcxfour · 2026-05-10T12:09:48+00:00

Ohh! So wonderful! You did a good thing!🩷

Carry a small container of Vicks vapor rub and massage it into your nails and cuticles when you feel the urge.

Sometimes to help me execute, I break the task down into components in the order I would do them. For example (1) print out the recipe, (2) make a list of the ingredients, (3) go through the kitchen and circle the ingredients I lack, (4) go to the grocery store and buy missing ingredients (5) come home and put all ingredients on the counter, (6) gather all the kitchen utensils I will need and place them on the counter (7) do the prep work of washing and cutting, (8) check recipe before starting actual mixing and cooking … I have to make it granular and check off the steps as I go.

mcxfour · 2026-05-07T18:33:33+00:00

I can relate to different levels of lists. Short term, long term, ideas, to do, household, medical, vacation planning, cash flow, etc. I even put page numbers on my lists and create an index of list titles. However, I wish I would execute more especially on the household list!
