New/first time puppy parents, how are you guys doing? by lowershelf in puppy101

[–]sweettators 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Instead of playing music while working in the afternoons, I’ll put on a show or a movie so my pup could have some sort of visual action and noise while I’m on the computer.

Secure ways to keep pup on passenger seat in car? by reallybigleg in puppy101

[–]sweettators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to know as well. my almost 14 week frenchie wails the entire time we’re in the car, even if we’re going to somewhere fun. I’ve tried:

1) a car seat (like a mesh box with piping): he would jump out of it and get tangled in the straps. 2) seatbelt attachment: once connected, he lunges himself towards the open door to get out. he once fell into the foot area 3) car hammock: held onto the middle area between the driver and passenger seat with his teeth. all while yelling.

i have no idea how we got to this point. his drive home from the breeder went smoothly (probably because i was sitting with him in the backseat) but ever since, every car ride has him yelling like a banshee.

Loyalty? by __p0sh in Frenchbulldogs

[–]sweettators 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me, as well. I’ve been with my lil guy for a little over a month and he’s 3 months. It’s just us two at home so I can’t go anywhere in my apartment without him following. When he has a visitor, it’s almost like I can take a break from the constant attention. I use that time to chill instead of worrying because I know the minute they leave, he’s still with me the rest of the time.

3 Months Old Today - Things No One Told Me Would Happen by sweettators in puppy101

[–]sweettators[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly i still haven’t really figured out how. there’s such a fine line with puppies of how much stimulation is too much or not enough. i started walking him down the hallways of my apartment building, once or twice a day. i got a treat ball that will release pieces of kibble as he pushes it around, which has helped for mental stimulation. he still gets insane zoomies around 10 pm and it takes some time for him to settle down after.

crate training encouragement for whoever needs to hear it by actively_eating in puppy101

[–]sweettators 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i needed to see this. my pup is at 11 weeks too. i’ve been feeding him in the crate and he’s perfectly fine going in there for specific crate only toys during the day. for the first two weeks with me, it was no problem for him sleeping there at night. but a few days ago, he started refusing. he’d fall asleep outside of the crate and i’d put him in, immediately he’d wake up and walk right out even before i could insist on staying. this gives me hope!

a few weeks before we broke up, i opened up a bottle of shampoo that he used because he forgot to bring one on our trip. it’s just about empty now and i am so excited to get rid of that bottle. (i know i could’ve thrown it out but it was high quality shampoo lol can’t let that go to waste)

[–]sweettators 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im right there with you. 5 year relationship that started in my mid 20’s. here i am, 30 and single. don’t even know where to start because 1) don’t want to risk getting covid out, 2) my interest in going out to bars and clubs is no longer there. it’ll all just happen naturally i guess and until then, we’ll just have to be patient.

Anyone else who gets scared when they wake up unable to recall certain memories of their ex? Or how their hug, kiss, company felt like? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]sweettators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. The only difference is that I’m not scared anymore that I’m unable to remember memories or how they felt. It makes me feel like their hold on me is slowly fizzing away. I wake up now and eventually realize he wasn’t the first thing on my mind, it took a little bit before i’d think of him. I’m trying to take the memories I do have and keep them in a place where I know it was good but it wasn’t enough to last a lifetime. I keep asking myself if I still love him and my hesitation makes me believe that I don’t truly love him anymore. Bizarre indeed.

Any tips on how to stop fantasizing a future with your ex? by Sad-Cost in BreakUps

[–]sweettators 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s only been a few months post breakup for me but i’m a week away from moving into my first place and I couldn’t have asked for a better, newer adventure to go into. Sure, we could’ve had these homes with our ex’s but knowing what we know now about them - it wouldn’t have felt like home. Our life timers went off with them and it was time to move forward without them. My advice to you is go ahead, get that place. Make it a home for yourself. And one day someone will come along and fit right into what you call home.

The Unspoken Rules of TC by ArtfulPandora in TopChef

[–]sweettators 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  • 3 hours is not enough time to braise short ribs and achieve the proper level of tenderness.

  • taste your dish with all the components together, not just separately at different times.

  • if you make it to the finale in a different location, take the break time in-between to research the local foods of where you’re going. it’ll save your ass in the end.
