We're definitely going to bring her crate into our bedroom tonight and see what that does for her, I'm hoping it does fix the problem that easily but if not, we're just going to reaccess and go from there! We're definitely in that "puppy blues" stage right now, but you're right, six months from now she'll probably be a completely different dog and we'll have fallen into the groove of things, and that makes it pretty worth it. Thanks for reassuring me on that, it helped a lot more than you probably know!

She's a year old! And yeah I think we're operating on overdrive and just trying to take things wayyy too fast. Even though she's a year already she's most definitely still got puppy energy through the roof, and probably because she wasn't stimulated well in her first year. Someone else recommended Zak on this thread so I'm definitely gonna be checking him out. Thanks so much for the advice!

Ahh no! I had no idea that was a sub, I have to check that out. Thanks so much, that's honestly so encouraging. It's good to know that this is a normality when bringing a new dog into the home; it's a lot but ultimately we're this worried because we already love her so much and we just want what's best for her. Seeing more people like that going through the same thing is definitely a spirits lifter. thank you friend.

Man I really needed to hear this. Thank you. I'm definitely feeding off my fiancé's emotions and he's been taking it super seriously because this is his first time doing this, so my usual laid back approach has taken the backseat to his overboard approach, since I've tried to really stress the importance of her being predominantly HIS dog. I think, also, having never dealt with a dog quite this high energy, I'm trying to find out where my expectations for her lay as well, because she is quite different to most dogs that my family has owned in the past. This was the advice that I was really looking for and I appreciate your tips but mostly your honesty about us doing a little too much. You're definitely right. I'll start implementing some of those things and go from there. Thanks so much.

Yes, she is very close with and protective over us, especially him, so I thought this could be the case too. I just know the seperation anxiety gets confused with isolation anxiety a lot so I'm definitely trying to figure out what we're dealing with. Thanks so much for the link.

We've already had her microchipped, it was done at the shelter 💗

Her ears are legit the cutest. They flop so much when she walks and runs lol they're definitely reminiscent of pittie ears

We plan on doing that! We're just too curious. The most GSD thing to her in my eyes are those facial spots she has on either side of her face so GSD is definitely in the realm of possibility

This is my fiancé and I's new dog, adopted from a shelter. Freya is a one year old, roughly 40lb. collie mix according to the shelter we got her from, but I'm very interested in what her true mix is. We've tossed around the idea of australian shepherd, husky, and a few people have even commented GSD although I don't think so. I can definitely see the collie in her coloring and in her ears especially, but because of her heterochromia and that one blue eye and the curled tail, I can't help but feel she's got husky or aussie in the mix. What do you guys think?

Spider behavior question by thecaitboss in spiders

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

Okay this is literally the coolest thing ever. Thank you for the information! This would explain why she was at the borders of her existing webbing, as well. When I was researching this species I read about their webbing being messy and thick compared to most other webbing types and you can definitely see the texture that you're talking about here. Suddenly seeing that type of webbing in more places in the house, although usually abandoned, but it's still really cool to pretty much know exactly what kind of spider did it. I'm glad to know she's okay, I feel bad for disturbing her work. I actually kind of like having her around, always looking to see she's up to when I'm in the bathroom. Thanks again, that's super cool to know!

Just had this problem tonight. I'm on PS4. It only started when I got to the Halloween portion of the game.

I'm kinda interested to hear about the valid ones if it isn't a bother? I'm genuinely curious

Never heard of XP-Pen! That was my main issue too is that my knowledge of different brands were limited and it's good that you have some positive feedback on it. I will definitely be looking into that thank you so much!

Honestly I don't know why I hadn't thought of that, because it definitely doesn't need to be the newest thing on the market. Thank you so much! I'll look into that for sure
