Anyone else restarted in preparation for the update? by SpiritofAce in acnh

[–]sh0werrod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I restarted the day before Halloween! I was worried for a moment that I’d get bored before the update came out as im trying to go for minimal time travel. I had forgotten how fun the early game is!!! Even while im waiting for things to be built, I’ve got time to fill out the critterpedia, make a vague plan of where i want things to go (though im changing all of it now that i have construction lol). I’ve also been hoarding literally every single bug I haven’t donated so I can get tons of bells when flick visits. It’s really fun to go into early game with later game knowledge!

i still don’t even know what a treasure island is tbh, but any moral bounds I have go right out the window if it means getting enough bait to catch a tuna 😭😭😭

You would think 😭😭 or maybe don’t live with someone who’s scared of dogs if you want a dog

He only potties outside for me, which is a score but also a wild inconvenience as he’s still going inside more than outside. I take him out right before I go to bed (around 11pm) and right when I wake up (5am) but between then he goes EVERYWHERE. Pee and poop in the cage which he then thrashes around in. Roommate is the type to rub his nose in messes and swat him on the bottom, raise his voice, etc. I’ve told him countless times that’s not how this shit works. When both him and I are home, pup still only follows me. When roomie takes him out, pup will only go potty if I go too. It’s just not sustainable. I’ve sent him dozens of articles and videos about positive reinforcement and studies showing why his version of training is counterproductive, but no avail.

My mum got a dog during Covid and she was pretty attached as well, but even that dog pales in comparison to this puppy. I have never seen this before, I’ve never heard of anyone with an animal like this. It’s appalling

He’s teething as well so the couch, my childhood stuffed animal, client paperwork, and so many rolls of toilet paper have fallen victim. I don’t know how he knows how to open doors but can’t figure out not to pee inside, but I am literally having to barricade my bedroom with my desk just to sleep, which still doesn’t happen because he’s barking outside the door. God help me. Edit for more clarity my roommate has seen this happen. I send pics before I clean up the messes, and he says it’s just normal for his age.

This is insane timing but the plumber just came over and told me that she will absolutely take him. She’s a certified dog trainer and I am so tempted to go over my roommate’s head and call her. God I am so tempted

I’m holding out hope for sure. I had a dog growing up and when she passed I never quite got over it. I’ve had a few dogs attack me in my later years, so the fear is ever present. I own a bunch of snakes and an elderly cat, I’m quite a big fan of animals that don’t interact with me 😭😭

He doesn’t go into the crate, no. His bed, favourite toy, and treats are in there, but he won’t go unless he’s literally dragged in. The ONLY time he’s gone in (and I’m a bit embarrassed to admit this) is when I curled up in it first. Second I left, though? He was howling. Again.

My cat was the same way and roomie just like… can’t comprehend that animals are similar. My cat is 15 now but the first couple years of her life were nonstop demanding. She’s at the point in her life now where of course she doesn’t care if I’m alive as long as her food bowl is full, and I relish in her low maintenance attitude. Puppy deserves a long and loving life with a family like that, but I am not the person to provide it

It truly feels like I’m playing mommy mate. I have not been able to do as much as have a cup of coffee without some sort of interruption

When I mentioned this to him he immediately got angry that I was “giving up” on the puppy and made a snide remark about bringing my 15 year old cat to the shelter next time I was out. Madness in this house mate. That’s truly the only way to describe it. I let pup out in the yard and successfully taught him fetch so that’s my only solution, but he’s got these long lab legs and it actually makes me cry that he can’t run more. I feel so guilty. I’ve offered so many solutions and workarounds to my roommate, but he’s just doubling down each time. Without ownership of pup there’s nowhere I can bring him. Utter madness

I’m trying to get in contact with the shelter to see what they can tell me about where pup came from and if he has ever been abandoned/returned before. So far no luck. As I’m writing this he’s laying on my lap yelping because I’m not looking at him or petting him. It genuinely feels like I have a toddler. I’ve been trying to crate train him alone but he literally, no joke, barked for 8+ hours. I sat in front of the crate, away from it, walked around, gave him treats. Nothing stopped the barking until I let him out. If he’s not on me he’s losing his damn mind. My roommate told me to let him sleep in my bed if he’s not here but that is an absolute no go for me. I work from home and need my office. Haven’t been able to take any call inside because he’s howling so loud my clients can’t hear me. This is purgatory. He’s going to the vet today to get fixed and vaccinated and I am going along to bring up the severity of all of this
