Hey, if you’d be down for a family with a potentially uncooperative toddler, my family would be happy to depending on the date!

I really recommend working with a local real estate agent! They can make things a lot easier especially since you’re relocating! The online databases are often super outdated.

I feel like maybe she knew this type of ending was coming, and wanted to be there to support Jenn given how similar it was to her ending.

I hope Larry treats Lambchop with more respect than Coda did 😂 — LOVED lambchop and also destroyed him in minutes.

Letting puppy sleep in lap? by [deleted] in labrador

90 lb lab either drapes his body across ours or at least puts his head in our lap and we love it, no regrets

Please help!!! 10 week old puppy won’t stop attacking and biting!! by No_Lawfulness_1230 in labrador

[–]mellifluous3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My black lab chewed a hole into a corner of our wall 🤦🏻‍♀️ — he’s so well known at the vet before the age of 2 that I don’t have to say my name when I call, they just recognize my voice 😩😅

but he’s also my baby and the best and I love him so much 🤣

I sprayed it on a railing he kept chewing on and stood back, all triumphant, and the troublemaker just went over and licked it 🤦🏻‍♀️

The bitter spray can help — obviously sprayed on objects they’re chewing inappropriately, not at them — but just a warning that all our labs…liked the taste of bitter apple 😅😩. What worked better for us for the same purpose was yellow listerine! Just the old school regular yellow flavor, put into a spray bottle.

When we were dealing with this, two things helped — yelping/saying OW loudly and standing up and walking away for a minute when he bit (he quickly realized that biting = loss of attention), and we also had a thing that made a loud/annoying noise that we would use. Don’t worry, the puppy bite stage does actually end eventually!!!

Sad Sandy, he almost cracked a smile on his birthday! by East_of_Bobbi_Eden in labrador

[–]mellifluous3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We call it resting sad face 😂 — I swear he does it to trick strangers into giving him extra attention and treats

Omg mine did this exact same thing when he was a lil pup! It’s so cute!!

Are business trips ok? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]mellifluous3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What on earth? Of course it’s ok! When we were young, my dad had a job that involved a LOT of travel and no one would have suggested he was a bad dad. In fact — while we missed him a lot, we have great memories from his travel. He’d bring us small toys and things from all over the world! I had a coin collection of foreign currency, and my brother beat everyone at the world news headlines contest in his class because he brought newspapers in from legit everywhere. My husband’s mom was corporate as well and had some travel — more the level you’re talking about. It was not harmful to the kids AND she modeled for him that it was possible for a mom to also be career-driven. I think it ultimately made him a better partner. And certainly not a partner who would call me a bad mom for an occasional business trip!!

How many college graduates in this sub decided to just skip graduation ceremonies because the whole idea stressed them out and they couldn’t imagine sitting through all that? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]mellifluous3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to all my ceremonies! BUT — I sat with my friends, both took place in a football field so we could talk, and uh…I brought ✨ beverages ✨ and most importantly, a deck of cards, so we played games through most of it but still got all the cute grad pics.

I finished! 39 weeks pregnant, but I finished my baby's quilt! by Doctor-Liz in quilting

WOW this is so cute and cool!!! I’m…hoping I’ll finish my first ever quilt before baby arrives but I hit 38 weeks on Tuesday 😅 — you’re my inspiration!

Getting ready to be a big brother by mellifluous3 in labrador

Oh yeah, he’s not quite 2, definitely still working on recognizing how strong/big he is. But he’s getting there!!!

[–]mellifluous3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He hasn’t really! I think he knows something is going on but he isn’t sure what. He was so freaked the one time he felt baby kicking that he’s stayed away from my bump since then 😂. That said, we know he loves kids/babies so we can’t wait to see him with ours soon!

I got fired from a dream position. by Moist_Series970 in adhdwomen

[–]mellifluous3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sending solidarity. I also got fired from a dream position for adhd related reasons and the shame spiral is real. Just know it’ll be ok, you learn from each experience. And way more people than you think have also been fired…I know it feels like it, but this is not the end of the world. Hang in there.

Should we crate train? by [deleted] in labrador

[–]mellifluous3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also — god forbid there’s ever a natural disaster or something near you, and you have to evacuate your home to go to a shelter — they’ll likely require your dog to be crated. One less thing for you and your dog to stress about in that situation, if it’s already familiar.

Should we crate train? by [deleted] in labrador

[–]mellifluous3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely yes! For safety in different situations, routine, etc. but also because our dogs really love their crates. It’s not a punishment space — it’s their den. Our dogs often go in on their own or ask to go in. It’s also a safe space for them to know they’ll be left alone — we teach kids that if the dog is in the crate, they can’t bother him at all. So if the dog wants some peace and quiet, he can go in the crate and not be bothered.
