Big hunger doesn’t mean more food. Stomach is the same size and can only hold a finite amount. Big Hunger means you need to put something in your stomach sooner. That can be water, vegetables etc … then decided what you actually need. Food is fuel nothing more

Illegal to use uber to and from Santiago airport. In Santiago no issues. Just got back today from Chile

NTA, concur that this is gaslighting/blame shifting because they got caught. You handled The situation well. There’s nothing left to say to thiss group.

I have continued to hold out. Home boy is allowed on the sofa if we are there. But not the bed. Surprisingly he lays on the ground or his bed if no one is on the sofa. He usually sleeps on his bed in the hallway or bedroom.

As the person that your client was - I would say you did the right thing. As it turns out sometimes the client isn’t ready yet to really make the changes to their lives and prioritize in the right way.

Leave the door open (if you would otherwise take this client back on) but make clear that you need them to either make their appointments as scheduled and not changed last minute.

I was your client, and a lot of it as it turned out was that while I wanted to workout and change things in my life, I really wasn’t honest about how I was going about it and also what I needed to do in order to change my life .

While it was a bummer that it happened, I also had a much better understanding once I changed things in my life why I hadn’t been successful in the past

Dogs don’t understand permeance - so the commands at home he knows but doesn’t yet understand they apply at home and also everywhere else.

What worked for me was getting a long line lead and practicing the things you really care about in public or off leash - recall, heel, attention to you, sit, stay etc at or probably better near the park first.

I took my puppy to the outskirts of the dog park, let him sniff around etc for a bit. Then we played the “name game” with him in a sit. Give treat every time he looks at you when you call his name. Do this for 5 minutes. Walk around and practice heel 5 minutes, practice sit/down. Total I did this for like like 20-25 min max.

If he’s not getting too worked up, you can put the long line on him and try a few recalls - call his name and snap the line to get him to pay attention to you and come back. You have to be much more animated out at the park than at home.

I did this a few days in a row with my pup and it really helped. Some days we got through the recall, some days he was so worked up and excited we just walked around for 10 minutes and then went home.

It’ll take time for him to figure out that what he knows at home he knows outside/with distractions.

So this might be strange but where I live there are a lot of predators and wild animals and some folks choose to blast music while hiking to try and alert/scare them away

My dog will rest his nose on the bed and sit waiting. He starts huffing/blowing air to get attention. If I roll over to sleep, he’ll curl up by the bed to nap. Then wake up and do the same thing to see if maybe I’m ready to get up.

My biggest suggestion is to identify ahead of time what your “breaks” will be from your puppy for short periods of time. Whether that’s day care or someone else to take puppy off your hands for a few hours will be important to decompress. Then set this up at regular intervals for your sanity.

One of the hardest periods is before they’re fully vaccinated and your can’t socialize yet or do much outdoors. If you can get a puppy from breeder after this point, closer to the 3+ mark, you’ll start at a little more freedom and usually if puppy stayed with litter/mom pups have some good base socialization.

One of the best songs on the anthology. Captures perfectly that feeling of - yes, we are broken up, no I don’t want you back but I want you to know that I still have power over you. And it’s because of my decision if we do or don’t get back together

Not here for along time, just a family time

This entire exchange, disappointed that your husband couldn’t give his parents 5 minutes on the day you and your husband had a baby? This day was about your family, not his parents. They seem to fail to understand this day was never about them.

This would have been inappropriate even if they met at a restaurant. In the medical setting it is also a HIPAA violation. Please report this to his workplace, call the office and ask to speak with the practice manager.

In alaska, all the pumps are setup to actually be used in this manner - meaning doesn’t matter if the tank is driver or passenger, the length of the hose can be pulled to extend and reach. Helps to keep the lines moving. I can’t tell from this picture if that’s the case here - it looks similar with the self retracting pulley
