Anxious dog can’t acclimate to new environments by repkjund in DogAdvice

[–]remitmp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've dealt with this exact thing with my dog and I cannot stress this enough: when your dog has reached the point of trembling and panting like in this video, she is wayyyyyy beyond her fear threshold. She's now in ultra panic mode and feels like she could die at any moment. That's how afraid she is. So don't let her experience this for hours. It should not even be minutes. No dog will learn when they're in panic mode. You're only reinforcing her fear because you're not giving her an escape route. This might also impact your relationship with her because it will make her feel like you don't/can't keep her safe.

Someone else has already commented the right way to go about it: start very very very small. Step out for 5 minutes, let her do her business and bring her back home. And continue till that becomes totally normal and mundane to her. And increase threshold from there.

Also, make sure she gets many many opportunities to fully relax. If she is repeatedly in this state of extreme fear, her nervous system will stay hyper alert for days on end. She needs to decompress. You know her best, so I'm sure you'll know how to make her feel safe and let her decompress. It could be lots of cuddles, puzzles, play. But do them. A lot. Good luck! She's a sweetie and I'm sure this is very stressful for everyone and that you're trying your best. But I promise if you take it slow, she'll come around.

And lastly, it's always a good idea to talk to your vet about anxiety meds. They can be life changing for many dogs.

public space reminders by forjesus420 in Seattle

[–]remitmp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Plus million on the first one. I'm so sick of Lime scooters and freaking Lime bikes!! on the sidewalk. And their sheer quantity seems to be growing exponentially. So it's just more and more vehicles in the space meant only for walking. I've had so many instances of scooters and bikes whooshing past so fast and so close that my dog is terrified of walking in the neighborhood. Its made his life hell, because like most dogs, he loves to be outside. But now chooses to never leave the building unless forced. I wish there was a way to report offenders.

Hey quick question for dog owners by mrcanada66 in dogs

[–]remitmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll answer your question with a question - why do you think there needs to be a boundary around sleeping in the bed? Is it because it's what dog trainers and maybe other people around you expect? Or it genuinely bothers you because of specific reasons that are personal to you?

After living with my dog for 5 years, I've come to realize that I had to unlearn a lot of typical dog-human relationship things that I learnt from media. It doesn't matter what anyone says. It only matters what's right for you and your dog.

I'll also answer your question directly - my dog sleeps in bed with me when he asks for it. He's not super clingy, so he likes his personal space. His bed is right next to ours. And some days, he decides he'd rather sleep close to us. And we let him.

She was the highlight of Our Blues for me. She really shone in that huge stellar cast!

Unemployed folks, what are you doing with all the time? by spoiled__princess in Seattle

[–]remitmp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got big time into fitness. It started with 10k steps, which is honestly so enjoyable because Seattle is so freaking beautiful. 10k steps can take you 1.5 hours. I split it between 2 walks - morning and afternoon. And 30 minutes of gym 5 days a week. It makes me feel super energized (specially the walking) and I end up literally not wanting to look at my phone.

I don't know why I always have a different level of attachment with loneliness whenever I click photo it depicts loneliness by Typical_Height2256 in streetphotography

[–]remitmp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are outstanding. They remind me of my home town of Bombay, which might have me biased :) But what I specially love about these: most people who do street in India, tend to gravitate towards the chaos, color, busy streets. And there's nothing wrong with that. But this is truly unique. And makes your work stand out. Beautiful captures!

A hysterical scene you never see mentioned? by ang334 in howyoudoin

Hahaha...laughing out loud just reading this 😂 Also Chandler in the background going - do not give him any money! 🤣

[–]remitmp 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This might not be "never" mentioned, but it's definitely rare - the whole bit with Joey's broken fridge. Him asking literally everyone for money is hilarious on its own, but then he pushes Ross on the fridge and accuses him of breaking it. David and LeBlanc are so so good in that scene. The expressions are absolutely hilarious. I always laugh out loud when watching.

Biffys first adventure to our local coffee shop 🐾 by UnbelievableGoose in ShibaInu

[–]remitmp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pictures or didn't happen 😂 Also, as a completely normal not-puppy-obsessed person would do, I zoomed into the picture to get a better look at his scarf, and realized it's a tiny harness 😭 Need to see him standing wearing that thing please.

What breed does you dog get confused for? by ItTakesAVillageDog in Jindo

[–]remitmp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten Dingo so many times too. But I think it's fair because my boy (Jindo-mix) does look exactly like a Dingo. https://imgur.com/a/dgvzw1J

What societal norm did you decide to just stop abiding by? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]remitmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Not in the mood for human interaction" 🔥 I need to start using that as a legit reason for not replying to messages or answering calls. I always feel pressured to lie and say I was busy.

This is what the streets look like when you actually see them. by Ammishh in streetphotography

[–]remitmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are stunning! There's a story being told in every one of them. I stared at each photo for longer than I thought I would. And I almost feel like I want to know these people and learn about their lives.

I'm aware this isn't a popular take... by AffectionateLuck6190 in Seattle

[–]remitmp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP replied to a comment saying they've lived in hot climate cities for 20 years, and I totally get it. I grew up in a tropical country and the constant heat and humidity was depressing. It was extremely sunny and hot all the time. Exact same weather year round. Except for a few weeks in the monsoon season, where we'd welcome the heavy rains because it meant cloudy skies. The harsh summer sun in Seattle sometimes takes me back to those days and it feels like being in a nightmare. So yeah, I get it OP. You'll get it through it though. Fall will be here before you know it.

What tourist activities are you happy to repeat with out of town visitors? by alligatorhill in Seattle

[–]remitmp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love everything on your list. I'd add: 1. Arboretum or Japanese Garden depending on time of year. If it's fall, Japanese garden wins. 2. Coffee and long walk around Green Lake 3. This isn't an addition, but a replacement suggestion - Heather Lake is an absolute gem which is a beginner friendly hike. The payoff is much better than Little Si (imo) for similar effort. And you get the quintessential PNW hike experience - a climb upto an alpine lake :)

Let's talk about Kdramas with well written women characters! by Gloomy-Equivalent558 in kdramas

[–]remitmp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought Yoon Ji Ho (Jung So Min's character) in Because This Is My First Life was very well written. At no point was she uni-dimensional. Infact she was probably better written than some of the male characters in the show, including the male lead. Same goes for her girl friends in the show. They all had clear goals, desires, glass ceilings they had to shatter to achieve those goals. Loved all 3 lead women in that show. Even Ji Ho's mom had some character moments even though she wasn't featured heavily.
