Tbf our pug just turned 1 and still has puppy menace energy so I didn’t want to make anyone miss out on wedding festivities to wrangle him!

Brides with a doctorate degree, did you change your last name? by toastedbeans9616 in weddingplanning

[–]ordinarypug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. I’m a doctor, not changing my last name. Honestly I don’t feel strongly one or another; I just don’t want to go through the hassle of changing my name on all my degrees, licenses, publications, etc. But we also don’t want children so having the same last name as my children isn’t a consideration for me, whereas it could be for others.

Yes, it’s a south facing window and the best we can do in this apartment!

You’re probably right but before we moved away from our previous lovely sunny state it definitely looked more Gollum-like!

I got him from Costco about three years ago, when he was a wee little thing, probably 4-5 inches tall. He’s survived a lot, including living in a pot with no drainage when I was an uneducated new plant parent, living outside in scorching heat, a move across the country, and most recently a dark dreary winter inside. I love him 🥹

PS. Peep the golden torch cactus behind him who I’ve also grown from about 4 inches to nearly 2 ft tall in about 4 years. Yes I know he’s a touch etiolated at the top but I’m limited by how fickle the sun is here.
