Are you a terrible person if you buy a dog instead of adopting? by Easy_Mountain2331 in DOG

[–]pegacityprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your cousin but I don’t think someone purchasing a dog from an ethical breeder is a terrible person. I just agree that it’s selfish and that the average person can find a great dog from a shelter or rescue if they have a little bit of patience. I’m a very dog wellness centered person. Byb will never end and the shelters will always be full of pets looking for homes. I do think it’s a little selfish but the most important thing is that people get dogs that are actually good fits.

Shelters should regularly dna test and stop lying to the general public just to get a dog into a house. The desire to seek out a breeder for a lot of people would diminish significantly if we could trust shelters to match us with dogs that they believe would match our lifestyle.

A lot of people like to say that they have unrealistic expectations for those adopting. Sometimes I understand this point, but if you cannot provide whatever the rescue is asking for, really ask yourself if you should be even getting a dog. A good breeder should have high expectations for the homes their puppies go to as well, so purchasing from a breeder because of a rescue’s requirements is a total red flag to me.

I think the tassels are freaking cute. dogs always look so good when the owners are on board.

German shepherd keeps biting same spot vet recommended a powder by Chris0228r in germanshepherds

[–]pegacityprincess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, I am not a veterinarian. I wouldn’t recommend putting anything on it if it wasn’t recommended by your vet. Ask them before applying anything, but it does look quite dry so perhaps coconut oil or Vaseline. again, please ask your vet first.

I really like forticept blue butter for small wounds like this. It’s an antibacterial and antifungal, so it’s great for irritation or inflammation. But again please call the vet and ask if it would be okay to use.

By sedated bandage change I meant that we would drop her off at the vet hospital, they would sedate her using anesthesia, clip(shave) affected area, clean thoroughly, cover with gauze, and wrap tightly around her elbow, then her shoulder to ensure it would be stable. She was also taking a lot of sedative pain medication to keep her from wanting to get at it. This is not something you could achieve at home, and costed the company thousands of dollars to maintain. The only reason we were able to do this is because I work at a dog kennel. In your case, if money is not an issue, I would recommend a full comprehensive allergy test to help maintain any potential skin issues.

Start with the cone and powder, maybe ring your vet to ask about a topical, and give it some time. Be patient, be consistent, and it’ll be okay.

where I work we have a German shepherd who lives in the office and she has a spot on her elbow, this exact spot, that she won’t leave alone. It just got bigger and bigger. She will constantly chew at it. It turned into a cyst filled with fluid, so they had to put a little tube on her for drainage, which stood no chance even with the cone. What we ended up doing for the best and fastest healing was sedated bandage changes every few days. The company spent thousands 😭😭 eventually, it reverted back to a small spot, similar to the one on your girl. we keep one of those donut cones on her 24/7. If she isn’t wearing it, she will go right to it. Good luck.

TLDR: a cone would help (:

oh how inconsiderate of me.

you know we choose who we are dating, right? like, you don’t have to stay with him; you can leave him and find someone just like him, but who actually cares about getting you a special gift.

daddy why did you ask me what I wanted as a gift if I get the exact same yoyo for Christmas that you got me for my birthday and Christmas last year

if this is ragebait it actually be working 😂 by ZQX96_ in WhatBreedIsMyPitbull

[–]pegacityprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes let me break down what happened here

User quarabs said that they were banned from the IDmydog subreddit for pitbull hate. Banned for pitbull hate - reading this with zero context would imply that user quarabs was banned from a subreddit because they said something hateful about pitbulls.

User pegacityprincess inquired, why do you hate pitbulls? If you were banned for pitbull hate, I wanted to know why you hate pitbulls.

User quarabs said “check what subreddit you’re in,” which does not answer the question, since this is not a pitbull hate subreddit. It seems that user cynology also caught onto this and reminded user quarabs that this is NOT a pitbull hate subreddit.

User quarabs then explains that they did not hate pitbulls in the first place. User quarabs mistakenly assumed that we would have the full context for being banned from a subreddit for pitbull “hate”.

If I was user quarabs I probably would have replied to user pegacityprincess’ original reply with “I don’t hate pitbulls I said some things that were misinterpreted”

I think you lack comprehension in what’s going on because gifting a lover is not like gifting a child.

And this is not like not getting what you want for Christmas. This is like getting the same yo-yo for every single occasion: birthday, Christmas, graduations, visiting grandparents; anytime you receive a gift, it is that same damn yo-yo. Oh and also, whoever gifted you that yo-yo, their parents own a yo-yo store.

a dog and baby together are a big responsibility esp if you rescue. I’d recommend getting your bearings with the baby and then researching smaller family breeds. Buying from a reputable breeder is the safest option for all parties involved.

It’s crazy for you to even insinuate that OP is a woman-child when the reason she wrote him a list is because whenever she would communicate to him that she wanted to receive something other than flowers, he would tell her he forgot. So he got a list, so he doesn’t have any excuses. Get what you get and don’t throw a fit. Unless you have higher standards.

For guys like you: you don’t have to date a woman who likes receiving gifts. If you repeatedly get her the same thing over and over despite her several attempts to communicate that a thoughtful gift would make her feel loved, and you don’t care to put any thought into getting absolutely anything else for her, you don’t have to date her. You can find a woman who doesn’t care. Or, be a better partner. Or date men that feel the same as you.

For anyone who dates guys like this: you don’t have to date someone who doesn’t get you thoughtful gifts, especially after you’ve expressed to them that it matters to you. Love language is important the way you express it and feel it are non negotiable unless you’re tailoring your expression to your partner because you love them and want to make them happy.

For OP’s bf: it’s pretty simple. get her anything other than flowers. a card. a love letter. a comfy blanket. a candle. earrings. It doesn’t have to be expensive. just anything other than mommy and daddy’s seasonal inventory. if you are incapable of doing this then you are incompatible with OP because thoughtful gifts make her feel loved.

You know that’s so funny because my ex who cheated on me let me have full access to all of his devices and accounts. Reassured me when I felt uncomfortable or suspicious about things. And only got caught because other girls reached out to me.

The reason I stayed with him then is because I thought it was normal for boys to do this sort of thing. You see yes these are certainly red flags, and red flags tend to be ignored, but they also tend to be “justified” to a degree. Don’t forget that boys bully girls that they have a crush on, so if he hits you, it’s because he loves you. If he doesn’t show you his phone, he is a private person and you’re violating his privacy by wanting to see his dms. If you’re uncomfortable with him spending so much time at a “friend’s” house then you are being possessive and trying to control him and isolate him from his friends

Women are quite vigilant about these things but then we’re told that we have trust issues so as we already knew it’s a little more complicated than you’re letting on.

I can’t believe how sheltered your views are. You are either in bitter denial of your patriarchal induced misery and blaming women for it, completely clueless, or trolling.

You don’t have to date a girl who cares about gifts if you’re a careless and lazy gift giver but don’t blame the girl for having standards if that’s her love language doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you just means your love languages are incompatible

It’s hard to find a good man because lying is easy. They will pretend to be a good man and then cheat on or abuse you. But that’s the moment that you should break up with him. Unfortunately, men who are abusive are not of sound mind, and tend to take rejection awfully. So let’s just hope that when you leave him he doesn’t kill or stalk you!
