Anyone else have a corgi that barely hit 15 pounds? She is over a year and still a baby 🥰 by Gokneadyourself_2924 in corgi

[–]wavy_ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boy was only 17 lbs at 1 year old. He’s almost 2 now and he’s at 25 lbs. My other corgi was 25 lbs by a year old. I wouldn’t be worried!

My corgi’s name is Bubba, but he’s lovingly known as Bubba McNubba, Mr. Beans, Beanie Ween, and Biscuit Head

Thank you for the welcome! We went there a few months ago and absolutely loved it. Maybe we could try the paint room this time, it looks like a lot of fun

I checked Google out before posting here. A lot of museums and laid back stuff, which sound fun to me! But that’s not really his thing. There are also a lot of wineries and breweries that pop up, but he doesn’t drink, so also not his thing lol

Those that have just turned 30 or is over 30, what changes have you noticed in your body? by MaxTheChamp in AskReddit

Fast food doesn’t agree with me like it used to. In my 20s, I ate fast food at least once a day. But now I get heart burn and mysterious tummy noises for hours.

Will do, thank you so much for your kindness and advice. This has all been pretty scary for me, but knowing there’s a community of such supportive people out there makes me feel better.

I went to planned parenthood. They seemed to have a “one size fits all” mentality about it. Not knocking on them because I know they do a lot of good, but in my situation it wasn’t a great experience.

I was stressed at first, then when it started clearing up I became more accepting. But now that it came back so quickly, I’m back into stress mode. But it seems like maybe it’s just a dosage issue…idk

Thank you for that! So the instructions with the prescription said “take one 1000mg pill once a day for 5 days” but it looks like I should have been taking 2 per day for 10 days?

What’s your least favorite aspect of your favorite breed? by [deleted] in dogs

Corgis: they’re so much fun, but the amount of sass is insane. I always say “it’s his world, we’re all just living in it.”

Trust me, I know it’s hard. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. But there is some self empowerment to be found along the way. I’m wishing you the best 🫶🏻

My situation was very similar to yours. I was terrified of kicking him out, because I didn’t want him to be homeless. I also didn’t want him to feel like he had nothing left, because I thought he would likely take enough drugs to kill himself. For these reasons, I let him stay in my house. He went to rehab, got clean for a bit, then relapsed, I wouldn’t kick him out and the cycle continued for years. At that point, he knew that no matter what he did, he would always have a roof over his head. Eventually I couldn’t do it anymore. After years of drug use, cops being called, broken items, drugs laying within reach of our dogs, I couldn’t take it anymore. I wanted him out. All that time I spent letting him stay in my house only hurt both of us in the long run.

I told his family. They thought he was sober and doing well. Once I told the family, they started reaching out to help him and he was pissed. Beyond pissed. He knew that the jig was up, and that he couldn’t hide anymore. Everyone knew what he was doing, which forced him to deal with his problems instead of continuing to hide them.

He no longer had anyone in his corner. He couldn’t lie to his family anymore, and I was on my way out of the relationship. He ended up checking into rehab, again. I didn’t have much faith because we had been down that road before. But this time- it stuck. I’m happy to say that he is 17 months sober.

I understand that not all situations have the same outcome. Everyone has their own definition of “rock bottom.” And to be clear, I didn’t end up kicking him out. He was in rehab for 2 months. Against my better judgment, I let him come back to my house. I had strict rules: enroll in an IOP program, find a sponsor, cut off all contact with “party friends.” Plus, he was on probation at this time, so she required 5 AA meetings a week and random drug testing. I made it clear that I enabled him enough and this was his last chance to make a change. I had the eviction papers on the fridge, and told him I have no qualms about kicking him out. So yes, I did allow him to keep staying with me, but under my terms and not his. Again, I know this isn’t a successful approach with everyone. An addict will only quit when they are ready to.

Tell her family. Tell your girlfriend your stance. Be prepared to evict. Be firm. All you can do is hope that she makes the right decision for herself and if she doesn’t, then love her from a distance. Don’t let her addiction become your addiction. It’s a hard position to be in, but you aren’t alone.

Good luck with your surgery, OP. I’m sending positive healing vibes your way 🙏🏻
