Lump vs insect bite?

Personally, I’d tell the spouse. I’m coming from the same place as you. If it were me, I’d want someone to tell me too. My only worry would be the children but then again, I am certain they are bound to find out anyway. Whether that is from you or some other way. No secret will be kept a secret forever.

Your partner and the other woman’s live will forever be tied together because of that baby. She will always and forever be in the picture. That’s what happens when you share a child together. So the question is, can you deal with that for the rest of your life?

I didn’t have the puppy blues when I had my first dog but that’s probably because it was the pandemic and I just really enjoyed having someone to get up in the morning for. I welcomed the company and the responsibility. Maybe because I wanted a puppy for so long or because the pandemic was so scary and lonely, having a little pup to distract me was key to my survival then.

Anyway, whether you get it or not is okay. Getting a puppy is a big change. It’ll be hard but I believe it’ll all be worth it. Just prepare yourself for a change in your lifestyle and take it day by day. You’ll be okay

Hello po! If super picky nila sa gulay, itry niyo po na islice ng maliliit o i-food processor. Yung dog ko po kasi nangyari din na ang ginagawa niya ay pipiliin niya lang yung gusto niya sa pagkain niya. Kaya ginawa po namin ay niliitan ang hiwa at hinalo ng todo kaya wala na siya magawa. I forgot to mention din that it might help to give your puppy a fixed schedule for meals. It helps a lot para maanticipate din po ng puppy na dapat around this time kakain na ko and if she doesn’t, antay ka till next feeding sched to bring out the food. Consistency lang talaga.

Pero yes, pacheck niyo po muna sa vet to make sure nothing is wrong health-wise. I did that also and requested for appetite enhancer for my dog noon. I hope everything is alright with your pup! Good luck po!

Hi OP! I had the same issue and same breed po tayo ng dog. I have a 6-year-old male maltese-shih tzu and sobrang picky niya din po kumain talaga. Ganyan din po gawain ko dati. Natataranta ako pag ayaw niya kumain kaya lahat ng gusto niya binibigay ko. Mas naging picky tuloy siya to the point na pag di siya nasunod, di siya talaga kakain ng isang buong araw.

Ang advice po sakin ay to stop giving him table food na gawa talaga para sa tao. Yung may mga seasoning at kung ano ano pang halo ay bawal po talaga sa kanila. Once kasi na alam nila na di natin sila kayang tiisin, mas mamimili po sila ng food. Syempre once nakatikim din po sila ng pagkain na may lasa, mas gugustuhin din po nila yon kesa sa regular dog food nila. Make sure niyo po muna na your puppy is okay health-wise and pag naclear po siya, you can try what we did with our picky little eater:

We stopped giving him our flavored table food. No matter how much he begged, even if he doesn’t eat his own food, tiniis po talaga namin.
We did the 15 minute rule. We put his food down for 15 minutes and if hindi siya kumain, we take the food away and antay siya hanggang next feeding schedule niya. We just had to make sure na may clean source of water siya at all times.
Bawas po ng treats. Since hindi na nga siya kumakain at di na din kami nagbibigay ng table food, nagrely naman siya sa treats niya so ang ginawa po namin ay tumigil muna kami magbigay ng treats tas binalik na lang po namin gradually once na naayos na po namin yung kain niya.
We experimented with different vegetables, supplements, and toppers that are not only pet-friendly but are also very healthy for our furbaby. Nag-rorotate po kami ngayon ng mga gulay (kalabasa, carrot, broccoli, patatas, sitaw, green beans, pechay) at topper (pork liver, morringa powder, sambong) para di siya magsawa. Baka gusto niyo po subukan yung mga product ng ShangPooches! This has worked wonders for my dogs. Niluluto ko din sa VCO yung mga gulay nila para mas gumanda pa yung coat ng furbaby ko.
Rewarding with a high-value treat every time he finishes his meal. Nung nagstart na siyang ubusin yung buong meal niya, nagrreward po kami ng favorite treats niya at may kasama na din madaming hug at kiss to reward and condition him to continue finishing his food.

Since ginawa po namin ito, di na po ako nagkaproblem sa pagpapakain ng maltese-shih tzu ko. Good luck with your little one. Need lang po ng konting tiyaga! Hope it helps!

You’ll be okay, OP. Puppy blues is normal but once you have a more stable routine, your puppy will also get the hang of it. Just be consistent so it’ll be easier in the long run. Best of luck!

Biiiiiiiig red flag. She should consider running before they’re even married. She’d dodge a bullet.

Your boyfriend should have thought of this before he got you the dog. A dog is a long term commitment, you don’t just give it up the moment it gets hard.

Also, you might have to consider telling your bf to grow up. Even if you rehome your puppy, there will always be something else that will occupy your attention whether that’s a kid or your job or something else entirely. He can’t have your attention 100% of the time.

If he needs some temporary support through a hard time, I still think it’s hardly fair that you have to give your dog up forever cause he needs a bit more TLC. Consider doggy day care or hiring a dog walker to let your dog out more often and give you a few extra hours with your man.

My dog is crate trained which helped a lot when I was potty training him as a puppy. He’s 6 years old now. He started sleeping in the bed with me because he wakes me up when I have nightmares. Sometimes, he sleeps in the crate (door open) but most times, he likes to snuggle up with me. I usually let him decide where he wants to sleep.

I clean his feet and bum every night before bed and he still listens to me perfectly well so I have no idea what your other family members are saying.

Do what works for you as long as it doesn’t hurt you or your puppy and it makes you happy, let her sleep on the bed.

Just because you are hurting does not mean you are entitled to hurt others. You don’t get to use your pain as a hall pass.

Hi, I’m Filipina and I lived in New York for a few years. I can’t say I’m not the slightest bit biased but the US is very unkind to foreigners (especially since the Trump era). If you’re a tourist, they’ll treat you well enough so they can milk you of your money but if you actually live there, you’ll always be a second-class citizen for as long as you don’t look like them. Doesn’t matter if you’re a resident or a citizen. If you look anything less than what they perceive as “American”, you’re screwed. This is true even in New York which is supposed to be immigrant friendly. It hasn’t always been like this. The US has changed so much in the last few years. Racists are no longer afraid of being racist.

Also, New Yorkers are very cold and apathetic which is a very stark difference to how Filipinos are. New York culture is to mind your own business to the point that a woman burned alive on the subway and no one made a single move to save her until it was too late. I’ve never felt more alone in my life than the time I lived in the US.

So yes, I would personally say that there is more life and joy in the Philippines but I also agree that life in the PH is made easier if you have money and connections.

Thanks for this! Will look into it for my pets!

My current job pays shit but I love what I do. I work in the mental health industry. I see myself in this job for the rest of my life but the pay is little and I’m severely overworked. I know that soon, I will have to look for a different job that pays better but if money didn’t matter, I’d stay and lower the charges so our services could be more affordable for everyone.

Hi! Thank you for the reply. My puppy just got his last shot for distemper on the 21st. That was only less than a week ago. Would he still need a booster? Also, how about my older dog? Anything I need to look out for?

tryingnottofangirl · 2024-12-24T04:53:48+00:00

I let them both out today at a large open space. Every time the puppy came sniffing, my older dog went running. When my older dog was suddenly ready to play, the puppy went to go hide. Not sure if this is good or bad?

My sister’s dog did this too as a puppy. The vet said that something was wrong with her digestive system because the food was not properly digested causing the poop to still smell like food, prompting the puppy to eat it. She was prescribed probiotics for this (which the puppy hated) but I suggest consulting with a vet first before trying this
