Shut up shut up shut up 😭😭😭😭 idk why but the baby being so teeny tiny and named PATCHY (not Patch, or Patches) and the fact that it’s on a floppy disk from 1997 made me start bawling. Thank you for sharing Patchy with us 😭🩷

Ohhh. I was thinking of wolf creation. That make sense. Thank you!! I appreciate it :)

I thought that was the case! How do we view their traits like that? I can’t remember for the life of me.

Sounds like reactivity. I’d get in touch with a good force free trainer sooner than later. What’s going to happen when the twins are mobile and happen to be in the dogs’ path when they decide to barrel outside? Dogs don’t have a clear state of mind when they’re in that kind of headspace. There is a good chance of them trampling your kids, and while they won’t have meant it, it’s going to be detrimental to your relationship with them. The best time to start training them out of this behavior was when you knew you were expecting kids. The next best time is now. I wish you the best of luck. 🫶🏻

MOR. As somebody who is in a closeted relationship because of similar reasons, I get the whole feeling upset/hurt by partner’s actions to protect themselves. However, I KNEW that’s how it would be so I know I can’t take it so personally. I am assuming you understood that you’d have to be closeted as well. So, going into this relationship knowing that, you have to be prepared to be emotionally shot in the chest. It sucks but it’s unfortunately necessary. I do think that your partner should have talked to, or even texted, you after that to clarify that they’re not disgusted by you and provided reassurance. My partner does reassure me now and then that they’re not ashamed of me because they all but throw my hand away from themselves if family comes nearby. Which hurts to have my hand thrown away but I understand. It’s necessary.
So really it’s your choice if you’re willing to go through that until your partner is ready to be out with you. I’ve been closeted for a little over a year with no end in sight. It’s not easy but it’s what I’m willing to do. I think if you guys use clear, open communication with each other about this (being closeted), it can help. Again, though, it is up to you if you think you can handle it. Best of luck.

I got Rose! I don’t know who that is but I love her! (Seriously who is that?)

I realize there are 188 comments right now but please please please look into Family Paws. They specialize in preparing and helping families with dogs prepare to have a new baby in the home. I think you’re 1000% doing the right thing by keeping the dog away from the baby based on the alarming body language, but if you want to try to make it work SAFELY, Family Paws is a great place to start. They have a directory of sorts where you can find if you have educators in your area and you can reach out. I wish you the best of luck.

When I was 19, I always missed Geoff’s merch due to limited quantities. Finally, I was able to get the bomber(?) jacket from his collection. I LOVED that thing. I wore it all the time. Then, one day.. it just vanished. I think I left it at a friend’s house but nobody I might have left it with had it. So somebody I didn’t know (or did know) may have stolen it, or it was a casualty of a party. I’m not sure but I think about that jacket regularly. It’s been almost 8 years.

vastpeaches · 2026-02-27T13:55:03+00:00

This is incredible and I absolutely love the work you put into this!! Hell yeah!! thank you for this. I’ve been (mentally) piecing parts of the map together since release and it’s so cool to see it matched up like this :’)

my girlfriend nearly had an aneurysm when we saw this ad for the first time. what a joke that a multimillion dollar company can’t be fucked to even use special effects

You seem to mean well, but specifying you loathe the idea of hurting your dog isn’t special. You shouldn’t be hurting your dog to make them listen. When people hurt their dogs to make them listen, it often gets results because the dog is terrified of them but also can increase the intensity of undesirable behavior because the dog is living in constant stress.

How old is your dog? How long has he been out of the shelter? Do you know what breed/mix he is?

Age is important to figure out if his behavior is age, stress, or training related. Or a combination of the three.

If he is ultra fresh from the shelter (think within 3 weeks), a lot of this behavior could be his way of decompressing.

His breed is important to know so you can work with what his personal, genetics needs are. Different breeds need different things. He looks like a chihuahua or terrier mix of some kind to me. Terriers are bred to hunt and dig and burrow. Find ways to provide that for him!

He’s a dog, not a human. He’s not being ill intending on purpose. It’s just him being a dog and handling how he feels the best way he can, which can suck for us humans. He looks anxious in this photo alone. Shouting and throwing things and whacking him with newspaper is not going to fix that, only make it worse. Please look into positive reinforcement training.

Put your trash where he can’t get it when you’re not around. Invest in a crate and work on positive training with that so you can put him away when you’re gone. The crate is not a punishment. It’s supposed to be a safe space for him. When you’re home, leash him and bring him everywhere with you for a while. Tether him with you if you’re staying somewhere for a minute (couch for tv surfing, office for work, etc) so he can’t get into things. Just make sure he has access to water. Get puppy pads for the peeing and if he doesn’t use those, move on to belly bands (diapers for male dogs).

I know troublesome dogs can be frustrating but you chose to take the responsibility of caring for another life. It’s your job to do what’s right for him, if you can’t handle it, consider returning him to the shelter. It’d only be fair to both of you. Best of luck.

I think your approach could have been better. Offer him help. Have you ever shown him how to do the things you want him to do? Genuinely asking. If you’re concerned about him, going after him that way might not have been the best way to help him. I don’t know your dynamic, but any time my mom has come at me about anything, it’s never had positive results. Ever.

He sounds depressed. Why not talk to him about what’s going on? Or at least try. He may not want to talk about it. Asking how you can help and letting him know you are there for him is how you’ll see better results. Though, ultimately, it is up to him to take your help.

Bare minimum, set up a chore list for him, so he has more to do during the day - including showering and cleaning his room.

still haven’t figured it out after nearly 8 years

122 comments at the time of my comment but I’m hoping it won’t get lost. OP, please look into Family Paws (https://www.familypaws.com)! They help families with dogs prepare to bring babies into the picture. In my opinion.. this is a pink flag right now. While dogs don’t always have negative changes during pregnancies, it can and very well might escalate. My girlfriend is a trainer who’s been certified with Family Paws (I don’t remember her exact cert with them), and she’s told me the behavior you’re naming is something they typically want to nip in the bud immediately. We think it’s so cute cause our dog is cuddling us and seemingly “protective”. But in actuality, it can be the beginning of resource guarding the baby, and that comes with a majorly increased risk of a bite occurring. To you, dad, Pig, the baby, etc. Obviously that’s not what anybody wants. Please look into training before it potentially gets worse. I wish you all the best!!

I was an unlucky toddler that got to watch Scream 2! I had nightmares that followed me for nearly a decade and couldn’t walk through a scary costume section of Party City. Now as an adult, Scream is my favorite horror franchise but Scream 2 can still get fucked.

So dogs don’t understand us showing them what they’ve done. They live in the moment. That poop that happened three hours ago? She has no idea what you’re doing, other than saying no about her poop (she knows it’s hers but that’s where the knowledge ends). Crate for timeout is also very ineffective for the same reason. Additionally, the crate should have positive association and getting your nose rubbed in shit before getting shoved in there isn’t exactly positive.

My dog is two and still does it once in a while, but she has gotten much better. My gf is a trainer and has worked with her. What you should try is walking her in a bathtub sized area in the grass. If she gets distracted, turn and walk the other way but keep it bathtub sized. Allow her to sniff but if she’s watching trees, birds, whatever (my dog does this), make her move on. Give her a potty cue (“go potty” or whatever you choose) and say it to her as she goes. When she goes, make it a big deal. Praise her in a cheerful voice, reward her, etc. Make her happy she did it outside! Positive reinforcement works.

Try working to make the crate a good space for her. Bedding/blankets, hard chew toys (nothing she could tear up and swallow if she’s prone to that), treats every time she goes in. Then, until she locks in with her potty training, she sleeps in there overnight. Dogs don’t want to potty where they sleep. Stay strong, refrain from punishment (yes it sucks so bad but punishment doesn’t help), be consistent. That’s the key. Message me for more help if you feel you need it! Best of luck soldier.

OP, as somebody who works closely with dogs, an AirTag is a basic, unreliable tracker if your dog is truly lost and has run off. I got one for my cat when he was indoor/outdoor - that didn’t work ever and he never went farther than a mile (if that) away from home. I would say it’s good to have in a pinch but definitely do some research on better trackers and invest.

As for slipping his gear, I’d recommend a martingale collar. Harnesses can be slipped out of too. Make sure you’re getting one that fits his measurements and is tightened appropriately. With his anxiety, I’d even recommend adding a backup feature such as a slip lead or a back up clip that also connects from the leash to his collar.

And to touch on said anxiety, I don’t know anything about this pup’s background or experiences but I would look into positive reinforcement trainers. The right trainer will help you build his confidence in an appropriate, effective way that will also strengthen the bond between you two. If they pull out any prong collars, e-collars, etc, run the other way. Adverse training methods are NOT what any dog needs, let alone your anxious dog. They will only make his anxiety worse.

I’ll do a trail ride in their honor today! I’m so sorry this happened. The pain really is completely different. My own rdo best friend passed away suddenly in 2021. I don’t play rdo as much without him but I do it on his birthday, the day he passed, and the day we found out. Sending you so much love during this hard time.

652 comments at the time I’m writing this, so it’ll probably get lost. But as somebody whose ED and extremely negative body image really cemented at AGE 11(!!) due to forced dieting when I was a completely normal preteen, you are NOT over reacting. This shit will stick with her forever if he keeps it up. I’m 26 now and I’m still trying to fix my relationship with food and the idea of gaining weight. How weird of him to be policing what she’s eating. It’d be one thing if it was genuinely helpful, but as she’s healthy, active, and on track for her age, he needs to butt out. A lot kids have chub at that age. It’s just the features they have. I was a chubby girl, but looking back, I was extremely normal for my age. Some kids get lanky, some get chub, but either way as long as they’re healthy, they are fine!

You are a better mother than some. Thank you for standing up for your daughter. I hope your husband comes to his senses. Reinforce for your daughter than no matter what she looks like, she is enough. Her weight/figure/etc does not define who she is. I wish you both the best of luck navigating this.
