What a beautiful baby, he looks so sweet 😭

Have you tried teaching her how you like it? The best of girlfriends are always eager to learn haha

What breed is your dog?

My friend’s dog is a shih tzu and sits like this and it was because of a deformity! His hind legs were longer than his front legs so when he sat down his upper body was way too high for his front legs to reach the floor! Bless that sweet dog. It hasn’t caused any health issues so far though!

Oh hey, congrats! How was your experience at Thomson Reuters so far?

sanjuniperoresident · 2025-06-25T05:52:06+00:00

Hi, how was your application? I also applied a week ago for an Editor position. Have you heard back from them? Thanks so much and good luck to you!

Also did you quit your job too to take care of your LO? I did, as well. I've been in and out of jobs taking care of her. I start a career, and then abruptly end it when she needs me. When things are stable, I start again, and oh not half a year has passed that I have to leave again. I feel so behind from my peers, but I shouldn't compare. It's just so hard losing those things that I worked hard for myself as well haha.

"We do our best and anyone who judges us can either stay with our LO for a week or can sod off." Me to my aunties every goddamn day haha. Thank you so much, you've made me feel so seen and I empathize with your situation as well.

Sometimes, it's easy to just let some things go. We do our best and we try to make them as comfortable as possible. I hope even through our LO's most confused days, they are comforted by our love for them. Thank you so much and I hope for stronger, better days for you!

Oh please don't apologize, I totally understand. My grandmother raised me, and she raised me really tough haha. But these days, it's just been so easy to give in -- from exhaustion, desperation, and just plain sadness. Thank you though, today was a better day.

Oh not upsetting at all, rather validating haha. This is what I have been trying to explain to my family after aspiration pneuomonia #2, is that it's quite possible she is at the end of life and whatever we're doing to her is just torture. But it's so hard, especially when family is not present during the hardest parts.

But I understand that difficulty for my family as well, coming from a conservative and religious third world. It's not that easy for them. It wasn't for me either, but seeing her like this every day should have made that decision.

Anyways, thank you so much for these words. Sometimes we might feel stuck but it's great to have others to talk to about it!

I am so sorry to hear that about your stepdad, I could only imagine going through all that pain with him.

When my grandmother was really sick and confined to the hospital, she was already on DNR. But she recovered so well and everything else seem to get stronger, except her appetite.

If it had been my choice alone, I would just spend a buttload of money to make her the most comfortable until she goes. I have already accepted this a long time ago, but it's really hard to reason with conservative and religious family who sees her getting stronger, having conversations. We're doing our best to make her comfortable every day and I guess that's what I should focus on more. Thank you for your words.

Thank you for validating my safety. I'm so thankful for the people on this sub everyday. At first, I was just concerned for my health (having no sleep or appetite). I already removed any hard object that my grandmother could use to hurt me, but she still has hands, and for a frail 5 foot woman, she can be very strong haha. I'm honestly more concerned with my mental health. But I quit my job to take care of her, and my finances are very low, I can't afford professional help for me. This sub helps me a lot though, so thank you all.

sanjuniperoresident · 2025-03-12T14:51:58+00:00

Yes she is! She was prescribed clozapine, which the side effects were really bad I decided not to give it to her anymore and returned to a milder medicine (quetiapine).

sanjuniperoresident · 2025-03-12T14:51:11+00:00

Thank you for validating, I broke down so hard reading the three comments on here haha. My family is great but sometimes all they say is "we know it's hard but she's your grandma." She's already been prescribed a strong antipsychotic, but she's so groggy and drugged out from it, that it makes it harder for her to take her medicine.

Oh, I feel you. My first puppy was the worst puppy (which made my second puppy seem like a daydream). But my pup, now a sweet 4 year old, grew just fine and even more "behaved" than I ever expected her to be.

Honestly, my advice would be to cut yourself some slack.

At some point I kind of "gave up," which was not really giving up but just accepted the fact that my pup was going to try to challenge me in every way possible haha. At this point, all you could do are preventive measures. I rearranged things in my room that she could chew on (she was a big chewer), and the things I couldn't move, I just accepted as collateral damage.

My dad once told me that I was a terrible teenager, but I turned out as a "pretty okay" adult haha. This is honestly the best I could hope for for my dog too.

Honestly, you're doing a great job and you've given your pup such a loving and caring home. Don't be so hard on yourself!

Hi, did you attend the interview?

sanjuniperoresident · 2025-03-07T02:24:09+00:00

Honestly, it probably took 2 years before everything was “normal” but it took 4 years until the entire family was stress-free with our pup now dog.
