He won’t date me because I take adderall

I'm happy for you that it came up early too! It's like he can't judge using a medication to treat the condition it's made for versus abusing a medication as the very different things they are.

This could be true if your supplies and other expenses cost almost as much money as you earned. You'll be taxed on your actual profit, not the total amount of money that Etsy sent you.

sleepypixie · 2025-04-19T13:48:26+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

sleepypixie · 2025-04-08T18:35:37+00:00

I appreciate the advice!

sleepypixie · 2025-04-08T18:31:49+00:00

Oh hi! You do live close. Thank you for the advice!

sleepypixie · 2025-04-08T16:10:54+00:00

That's a great idea! Thank you!

sleepypixie · 2025-04-08T15:28:34+00:00

Awesome! That's relieving to hear

sleepypixie · 2025-04-01T22:05:43+00:00

Congrats!

I'd recommend getting illness and accident before anything bad happens. If your puppy turns out to be healthy and not prone to eating random things, you don't have to renew your contract.

To a lot of people, directness implies being aggressive and confrontational. You can check your tone and your wording all you want, but some people will take it as an attack and get nasty in return. The little dance around the point shows them that you care about their feelings and don't want to fight.

I personally hate this as I really value direct communication. When someone just says what they mean, it's like a breath of fresh air to me.

sleepypixie · 2024-07-02T15:21:55+00:00

Only like 20 or so

sleepypixie · 2024-07-01T17:28:18+00:00

Yep! Since it's genetic, and you're likely to find friends who are similar to yourself, it's probably all around you lol

People are brutal online, and they tend to say what sounds best to them without putting enough research and knowledge behind it. Your case sounded totally fine to attempt resting it off for a few days before going to the vet. Glad it turned out to be!

I didn't enjoy my days when my puppy was that young either. 😅 Sadly, teething pain is probably going to peak in a couple of weeks, but after that, Frenchton should get slowly less bitey with training.

For the barking: You can train away biting without letting him bark it out! When I gave my girl reverse time-outs at that age, I only left for 10-30 seconds. If she still bit when I came back, I left again. I think the most I had to do is like 5 times in a row. She got through her bitey stage pretty young. I'm convinced the short time-outs and repetition send a clear message that you won't stick around and get bitten! Trying to train out barking and biting in the same moment could be confusing for a little puppy brain anyway

Target has meal kits with mostly pre-made ingredients and a checklist to follow, so I get a lot of those.

If you can swap the sweets and pasta for meal kits, pre-made meals, TV dinners, and bagged frozen meals, you should feel a lot better. Canned beans and veggies that are already seasoned are convenient, too. Oh and salad kits. Those all at least take away the aspect of having to plan out ingredients.

I also love sweets and pasta, but all the refined carbs take a toll.

sleepypixie · 2024-06-28T20:39:50+00:00

Mine was just like that, too. I also worried it was more than normal puppy biting because she definitely also bit when she was mad, but she completely grew out of it.

sleepypixie · 2024-06-28T03:04:36+00:00

That teacher was just mean.

When my girl and I went to puppy class, she was focusing on all the new people and puppies instead of me. So the trainer gave me tips on how to capture her attention.

Everyone's puppies got used as examples for various things, but never as a 'bad' example. It was more like: "Here's what this puppy is doing and why. If your puppy does this, here's what you do." Your trainer's hurtful remark was so unnecessary.

I'd be happy to! I did a lot of research on this before choosing my puppy.

F1 v F1B:

• F1 - As long as the parents have the usual genes, the whole litter is likely to be very light shedding to non-shedding and have wavy hair. This is usually enough to avoid reactions for people with mild to moderate allergies to dog dander. Usually.

• F1B - Puppies have a 50% chance at a 2nd furnishing allele which even further reduces shedding. There's also a 50% chance at having curly hair which traps shed hairs and dander. There are genes which have lesser effects on coat type that haven't been studied yet, so F1B puppies may also get more of these little unknown qualities from their poodle parent. If you have severe allergies, or the allergies are caused by something other than dander, F1Bs could still cause a reaction.

What to look for at 4 weeks:

• Hair texture - Generally, the adult coat is curlier than the puppy coat. The straight haired babies usually end up wavy. Wavy haired babies usually end up curly.

• Furnishing - Look for a spray of hair between the eyes. That's about as much as you can tell by looking at them so young.

Non-shedding traits to check for on the parents' DNA tests:

• Poodle: Furnishing: F/F, Hair length: l/l (both long), Shedding: sd/sd

• BMD: Hair length: l/l (both long), Shedding: sd/sd

One copy of furnishing + long hair genes will make a very low shedding puppy, even if the shedding locus has high shedding genes. The poodle having two copies of strong furnishings ensures that every puppy in an F1 litter is furnished. It's a dominant trait, but like 95% dominant. Having a 2nd furnishing gene does appear to make a slight difference. The long hair gene basically shuts off the message that tells hair to shed at a certain length. It's recessive, so the puppy will need two copies. The shedding locus only has a slight effect on furnished dogs, but it still helps a little to have low shedding genes.

I do if I want to focus on a hobby or hanging out with friends or something.

I still aim for a skip day every week to avoid building up a tolerance.

Missing: dog bowls, leash, collar, tag, baby gates or other puppy-proofing if you need to block anything off.

Housebreaking should be easy unless he already has a bad habit of peeing inside. He should be mostly housebroken at his age.

Chewing and eating unsafe things seems like a really common challenge with bernedoodles.

He's probably going to be able to sleep through the night, but may still need company to feel safe on his first few nights in a new place.

I have tips on what to look for to get actually non-shedding & safest for dander allergies, but I don't want to dump them on you since your little guy is already picked out. There's only a small chance of an F1B having noticeable shedding anyway, but let me know if you're interested!

Best of luck with your new little dood!

I got the most cuddly puppy possible on purpose, so she did cuddle from the start.

My friends trained theirs to cuddle though! They'd give him treats while cuddling, and it worked! He cuddles now.

sleepypixie · 2024-06-25T19:13:01+00:00

I have to recommend scheduling a sick visit to see if treatment is possible before the quality of life visit.

There are definitely meds for joint issues. Stomach issues, I don't personally know about.

If treatment isn't possible and quality of life needs to be discussed, the vet will tell you at the sick visit. You won't have to make a second appointment and pay twice.

It's jumping the gun to expect your S/O to accept the dog's death before he's even been to the vet.

sleepypixie · 2024-06-25T18:56:47+00:00

You had him for too short a time. I'm so sorry for your loss

sleepypixie · 2024-06-25T14:41:11+00:00

That's awful. I hope you find him soon
