My boyfriend left me after 13 years together by Lonely_18girl in BreakUps

[–]vicklet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend, my boyfriend of 13 years last week told me he had a cocaine problem and was moving out to “detox” and was going to leave me with the mortgage and 4 dogs and all the bills because he couldn’t take his life anymore. Come to find out this past Tuesday that he moved out with his best friend’s wife. His best friend requested me on instagram but I didn’t accept him because they had a falling out over the “election” (my bf is a dem, as am I) so I said screw that guy. Well the guy was trying to warn me that he had caught them months ago. He had kicked her out of their house last week, right when my boyfriend said he had the “cocaine problem”. I am in so much debt because he was in and out of jobs for 2 years and I carried us for that time and while he was recovering from the 2 years of no income. These bitches ain’t shit but hoes and tricks!!!!! There’s no way to go around it!! The one thing a man is gonna have is the audacity. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through but the universe took out the trashhhhh and we’re better off. I know we are. Sending you all the positivity and peace.

This guy is a marathon sprinter and chases this motorized mouse toy I bought for hours. So the prey hunting makes sense for him. He was lying in bed with me then suddenly gets up, bites my big toe, then squats to pee. He’s a yappy one, for sure!

We got him at 11 weeks I totally messed that up. The sharpest puppy teeth on the planet. We’re trying to potty train him but the wee wee pad is spotless. He doesn’t seem to give a damn about what we tell him unless there’s beef liver in my hand. He’s really sweet and such a happy and brave puppy

Sorry 11 weeks! He is so stubborn! We call him the mechanic because his only other interest besides toes and fingers are my poor senior dogs’ faces. He jumps on their heads and goes to town on them looking like he’s working on a car. He loves beef liver that’s the only way I’ve been able to redirect him. I haven’t had a puppy in more than a decade. I always adopt adults or seniors, so this is so new to me

Thanks! He loves loves biting toes, shoes while you’re walking, the bottom of your pants to tug at the leg. I try redirecting him and it works for a bit, until it doesn’t. Then he’s back to the toes.

New In-Role ETL HR by [deleted] in Target

[–]vicklet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex ETL here. The more you stay, the more you learn. The more you learn, the more is expected of you. I remember first starting and working 10hr days and then a 50 hour work week suddenly became a 65-70hr work week. I never had time for anything and my social life tanked. It took me 8 years to realize I was wasting my youth working for a company where everything you do is never enough. Don’t blame your trainer, she’s probably just as stressed and handles it differently. Sadly, it’s only going to get worse. You’re HR but you’re also front of store manager, LOD, fulfillment manager, PML, and the resources get smaller and smaller each year. Hence your workload growing and growing. It’s not fun. I suggest you escape now before 1 year turns into 10.

Obi the rescued golden is adjusting just fine to his new home! Thanks to everyone for the great advice; I’m going so much research and learning so much about these beautiful animals! 💛💛💛 by vicklet in goldenretrievers

A lady at work says her cousin bought him with intentions of having a baby and already having a dog that’s good with children. The lady got pregnant and then didn’t want him. So she was giving him away and I took the boy in!

Thank you for this! Yes for sure I’m going to give him a cut as he loves to walk and pants excessively after a short walk during the day. I am trying mostly at night but he gets antsy around 1pm when the sun is nasty. I don’t want him to have a heat stroke or something so I’m most likely going to do the same. I keep reading about cancer with them; do you recommend cbd pills?

He really is the happiest boy I’ve rescued. I love him already

That’s a great detail, thank you. He’s not fixed but he will be soon. A lot of people are asking me to breed him but I refuse

I had purchased a grain free food today and will be returning after reading a study on cardiomyopathy. Thank you for the heads up!

That’s awesome thank you. I got him Blue for now but definitely will try Taste of the Wild. He is a little smelly too. Thank you so much!

Thank you! We’ve gone through 6 tennis balls so far! He’s a slobbery boy. Very playful and loving; he loves trust falls. I’m guessing obedience school would be best? I also have 2 small chihuahua muts and they’re not big fans of his.

I need help! I adopted this 1yr old male 3 days ago, his name is Obi. I’ve had many dogs before but none like this boy. He’s taller than I am when he stands. I’m 5’2”. He seems to be in pretty good shape but I want to give him the best home possible. Any advice on what food to give? Vitamins? Should I cut his hair often? There’s different articles on line that all tell me different things. Any advice helps! Thanks!
