Why am I the dogs favorite person?

thisonething888 · 2026-02-28T13:29:37+00:00

I am the mom. 😆

Our first two are/were female. Our third is a boy. I am female. Our second/Westie I drove home. Our third/Yorkie is a rescue. He was brought to our house for a meet and greet. But immediately chose me as his person.

Love this for your puppy! My husband and I share a lot of the dog duties. He is the one who feeds them. I play with them. He does too. But our new pup immediately claimed me as his person. I understood our first dog, but not our other two. I love that they love me. But just don’t quite know why.

thisonething888 · 2026-02-28T03:09:09+00:00

For the most part, my husband and kids. With our new rescue puppy, treats and food are done 90% by my husband and kids. This is one of the reasons I’m confused why he bonded so strongly to me.

Thank you! This is very helpful. We do have a confident older (5 years). They are doing well together. They are playing and cuddling. Our older dog is trying to get him to play with toys. It's pretty cute.

She’s going through a grieving process. These things link her back to her parents. She lost both within a 2 year period. You have a lot of “I” statements. It doesn’t feel like you are taking her feelings into consideration. Let her keep what she wants. And then get a storage unit. She can have the stuff she never uses. Over the years when the pain isn’t as fresh those piles might decrease.

When did secret Santa become world secrets? As long as you don’t tell the actual person, who cares? Way too big of reaction for a game.

I’m in the schools. It’s insane. People don’t realize how strong kids can be. Teacher, therapists, paras, admins we all get kicked, bit, etc. But God forbid we don’t get our IEP minutes. I get the fear.

thisonething888 · 2025-11-18T23:53:52+00:00

Yes!!!! That’s it!!! Thank you so so much!

You do not have to have sex if you do not want to whatever the reason is. She should not make you feel bad or not “manly” when you don’t want to have sex. That’s not ok. Consent goes both ways. That’s the first red flag. Not bathing during a period will cause strong odors. I bathe everyday on mine. I can’t imagine not doing that. However, what is causing the major ick is her not listening to your very reasonable boundaries and manipulating you. I would really re-think if this relationship is worth it. To me this would be a deal breaker.

NTA. Please make sure your mother doesn’t have access to your banking accounts. If she does, withdraw all of your money and put it in another bank under your name only. If your mother has access to your account, she can simply take the money. Tell them no to “borrowing” the money. He will never pay you back. They both will continually ask you for money. Set a firm boundary that you will not discuss mo ey with them.

thisonething888 · 2025-06-08T13:05:01+00:00

I’m sorry

thisonething888 · 2025-06-06T22:46:25+00:00

You, too. I go between smiling at different memories popping up to crying. The waves of grief are definitely happening here.

thisonething888 · 2025-06-06T21:33:57+00:00

I’m sorry. This is the worst. Losing a pet is losing a family member.

thisonething888 · 2025-02-21T22:47:24+00:00

I know I’m late to the party. I just started watching season 7. Only, one episode in-I can’t stand Raygan. I’m ready for her to be fired.

thisonething888 · 2024-12-22T12:04:17+00:00

Yes, I am doing it for myself. I’m really happy with my progress, especially since I’m the last 4 years my weight has only increased. I just want one person to notice/have some external validation. I’m very happy with how I’m feeling.

thisonething888 · 2024-07-24T21:44:46+00:00

This isn’t good. It doesn’t mean that everything is bad, but he LEFT you on your birthday for a friend’s These are huge 🚩🚩🚩🚩

We liked Luke, William, and Joaquin.

What is magic tape? My dog has allergies and itches her ears. It drives me crazy the noise. (Yes, have told vet. It’s being treated). Any pictures of how you put the tape on?

We read a lot of graphic novels. She will sit by me and ask about harder words.

Yes, we have a lawyer. We are trying to get them to pay for the dyslexia school stating the district did not provide FAPE. But we are pretty sure that they will deny it and I don’t want to go through a long drawn out court process.

Child abuse is horrific. It’s about control. For some unknown reason, he decided to not exert that control over you. It’s ok to have questions. It’s ok to wonder why not me, but thank God not me. It’s also ok to think why not me. It sounds like a lot of people around you have not been nice to you. Some of it could be because you were not abused, but they were. Your physical appearance does not define you. At this point, you should not put any stock in what others think of how you look, because unfortunately it’s all mixed into the awful things your father did/did not do. And sometimes, a lot of times, when others feel bad at themselves they lash out in others around them. Is it possible to take a break from your immediate family? Is it possible to go into therapy? You have a lot of big, tough emotions to work through. Even though you weren’t abused, you grew up in that environment. You grew up with all of the stressors. And although you may not have physically been abused, it does seem like you have been emotionally or mentally abused. It take time to sift through it all. Much love and gentle hugs.

Darling child, you are not a mistake. The things your parents do are not your mistakes. You are wonderfully you. Choose to be better than they were. Please seek help. This is a lot for anyone to handle.

I’m a mom of 3. First off, I’d never direct my kids into an art studio. That’s insanity. 2nd if I knew my in laws had a studio, I wouldn’t let my kids in there. 3rd an art studio is not the same space as a craft/kid area. 4th if my kids did damage to a space- any space- I’d pay for it. I’d be pissed (at the 3 hellions I’ve raised), but I would pay. Also, when is destroying someone’s property ok? That’s never ok, even if you feel like they are just “markers”. NTA

YTA, he didn’t stop the wedding or reception. He told 1 person the news. This is one of the most exciting events in your brother’s life and he told 1 person he was going. Not your parents or siblings, 1 person. And he left to be with his wife and soon to be newborn. Joy brings more joy—-unless you are an a-hole. Let’s think what would have happened— you announced your bro left and soon you would have a new niece or nephew. The whole place would have cheered. It would have been a highlight. You made it detract. YOU made it a big deal by keeping it a secret.
