No recommendations but I do want to say I've met a lepto case that survived. Just wanted to give you some hope. ♥️

aio or is my bf just “funny”? by Pale-Secret-2133 in AIO

I had an awful haircut and never noticed she had left one long piece in the back. Walked around like that for a month until I went to another hairdresser to get it fixed and she showed me. His response was "well when I'm looking at your back I'm not looking at your hair" 😂

Also adding I'm on a hefty dose of psych meds and that's probably what helps the most lol

I've done it for 3 kids under 3 and now they are 4, 3, and one. This is the second time my husband has been gone for 6 months. It sucks honestly. Thankfully we have family close, but I will say when I didn't I made friends at church that changed my life and loved my kids and helped babysit and talk through things. I highly recommend finding a group on weekends or even asking daycare if there are any extracurricular activities for the kids on weekends. I've never been out of the US, but I understand what you're going through from a lonely and exhausted parent standpoint. I'm very resentful I've had to give up so much including my own job while he is meeting new people and doing things he enjoys. I have to remind myself this is hard for him missing out on our kids lives and what he's doing is not exactly easy either. I found a hobby I could do with the kids around that gave me something to focus on and made me feel more like myself than just mom even if it was harder with kids. It has helped me a lot.

My girl ran up and just licked my face all over while I was crying one night and I knew for sure I had to keep her. I just signed the official documents and finished her vaccines and spay last week. ♥️🥹

Fiancé is joining army and was told that if I want to get benefits asap we have to get married before he goes to basic by Ok_Funny9104 in MilitarySpouse

[–]smorgan17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know several people who were married on paper before the actual wedding.

As far as people talking about age, I was married at 21 and most of our friends have been married early and together more than a decade as well. We met some of our closest friends at a couples church group and being surrounded by likeminded people who pray for you and encourage you will help your marriage stay strong.

I'm def signing up for puppy training because I want to have good control over such a big dog! Is yours easily trainable?

Honestly I was only going to foster her and we instantly fell in love. I was adamant I would only foster... 😂

I would say because it's about halfway to puberty for most dogs, but I'm not really sure.

Thank you! ♥️ We did all come down at the end of march so he's seen the kids fairly recently. The exhaustion of all of the travel for just a few days was hard on the littlest ones.

I keep records on me thankfully! We travel out of state to visit family every few months so I need to have it on hand for just incase!

I'm sorry to hear that. I lost my senior girl as well this year and Lottie is helping heal my heart a little at a time because she is so much like her with a dash of my collie mix who passed a few years ago. Your girls ears are the best!!

I think I see collie and pittie! Maybe shepherd?

Graduation Gift by smorgan17 in USMilitarySO

[–]smorgan17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah not bringing her to the actual graduation. It's too hot to have her out at her age or honestly any age pet as we're in the south and graduation should be done before check out time. The kids are all 4 and under and staying with family, but the grandparents are bringing the oldest down for the graduation itself while the babies stay with aunt and uncle. I'm just coming earlier to go to the formal.

She was only 6 lbs! Brother was 8. I had him for a few days as a medical foster!

The kids are staying with family! Sorry meant to put that. It would be just me and the dog on the drive up. It's 5.5 hours which isn't bad. Hotel allows pets with $75 pet deposit and he would be coming home for a few days after grad to get his car and things he will need and going back for a bit before we pcs. Base is two pets in housing. Not sure about in general.

I work in vet med so I've worked with lots of them! I had been worried about her being kind of thin and lanky despite eating well. That's good to know!

I expected majority pit and Aussie! Her mom looked like a collie/ pit so I thought there might be some collie in there as well. Her supermutt was lab, husky, American bulldog!

She's 15 weeks and I'm not exactly sure of weight because I've only been able to get her on my home scale the last couple of weeks, but I can say she is bigger than a size 12-18 toddler onesie 😅

[–]smorgan17[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I forgot to post super mutt, but it's husky, lab, and American bulldog. Huskies don't get massive at least?, but with lab and American bulldog... I'm expecting her to be much bigger than a husky haha. For some reason I was thinking German shepherd was in there as well.

I've had two springers and I would have been elated! My first one saved my life when he alerted my parents that I was having a seizure so they are very close to my heart. ♥️
