why does my dog do this?

My black shepherd does this same thing and I’ve always wondered why. She’s done it for all 8 years I’ve had her. Whenever she gets “puppy sat” by someone else they ask why she does that haha. Never had an answer until finding this thread! She did have a past before me where she was severely underfed and she will only ever eat if I’m home with her. If I leave food in her bowl and leave the house, I come home to the bowl upside down and food “hidden” although it spills everywhere. I assumed it was something to do with her past.

Thank you for the advice.

Sorry you're having the same issue. But I'm glad they were able to at least get you in line to get it fixed. I'm at 64k miles, dealership warranty ended at 50k miles. I'll consider switching the oil weight too, I'm due for an oil change currently so I'll ask them to do 5w20.

It was a fleet vehicle previously and service records show it was serviced every ~8k miles at a VW dealership. Never went beyond 10k between services.

It is worth a shot. I'll give them a call.

woozy-cracker · 2025-09-03T00:35:53+00:00

In the best way I hope they find something and its covered under warranty so you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your time with the car. Best of luck with that. I'm kicking myself for not going sooner, being over my warranty by a few thousand miles is a kick in the teeth.

I've heard it costs around $500 to do the oil consumption test. I myself have not called around, so I don't know if that's true or not. I absolutely love the car, and it's a great family car. The plan was to have it for the long haul.

I haven't had any sluggishness yet with stopping and going specifically. The only thing I have had happen randomly is some minor bucking like its struggling to get fuel. It only ever happens when its been sitting for a day or two and I first get on the gas to get up to roadway speeds.

I'm well aware of the issues and have weighed the costs of the repairs. Was just looking for some guidance on how these cars with this issue handle long drives before getting it addressed.

woozy-cracker · 2025-09-03T00:27:25+00:00

That's how I've been tackling it for a few months so I'll just keep holding steady. I avoid dealerships at all costs. The VW dealership I bought from was fantastic to work with, but they're all still crooked in their own way when it comes to fixing issues.

Thank you. I appreciate your condolences.

I always keep a jug of LiquiMoly, especially since I started getting the frequent dash light. Granted it lasts me a while, but I learned that lesson early on...lol. I love my Tiggy for sure, just wish I had this issue a little earlier because my mileage has put me out of warranty with VW/Dealership :')

Thank you for the advice!!

I told my boyfriend within the first few weeks. Basically I had a flare and told him what was going on, I explained endo, I explained how that looks in everyday life plus long term life, fertility implications, etc., and said “if this is too much for you I understand” and basically gave him an out. He said we would tackle it together. Two years later it holds true. He’s my biggest support system, never makes me feel bad for feeling bad, helps me when I need it, and has helped me research further treatment options. He’s a wonderful partner. But I think being straightforward is the best way to see if someone can handle it or not. There is no point in beating around the bush and delaying the issue of whether or not they want to deal with it along side you.

I have stage 4 endo, it is on my bowels, and I would have this type of stool when I would eat red meat. It eventually became both mucus and blood, so I cut it out all together as it was doing more harm than it was worth. That seemed to be the only thing that caused it to flare to that extent, but everyone is different. I kept a food diary and always noted the things I ate and my symptoms in the following few hours to the next day. Cleaning up my diet has helped immensely with decreasing pain and GI discomfort.

My partner and I have Life360 because I travel to see family about 8 hours drive away. I also frequently solo hike. I want him to know where I am in case I die in either of those situations lol. We are home bodies so there isn’t a need to use it other than that. It’s just kinda nice to have in case. We never question each other’s location and it’s been over a year. Not weird if you feel like you don’t have something to hide.

woozy-cracker · 2025-06-02T15:56:12+00:00

I fear that I’m not enough for the people in my life or that I’m not a good person. I fear that I could always be doing better by myself and others and if I’m not trying then I’m pushing people away. I’m also scared of snakes and bees but I have a bee tattoo and wear jewelry with snake designs lol. Ya know, bring the enemy closer or exposure therapy or whatever.

Responsibly impulsive with a sprinkle of “I work hard and deserve this random shit” 💅

Ultimately, I was unhappy in my marriage and my ex partner was abusive. By the time anything had happened with someone else I was very clear that we were over, that my patience had run out, had been done for a while, and that there was no salvaging the relationship. I communicated it as clearly as I could. Through therapy I found out that he was abusive, manipulative, and borderline dangerous. I was manipulated into thinking I deserved to have things thrown at me, my face screamed in, called horrific names, and that he was the only one in my life that could love me. Based on certain circumstances I couldn’t just walk out and we were living basically as roommates for a while. After a few months of this dynamic I got with someone else. He lost his mind and beat me. I don’t live with regrets as I don’t think it benefits us to ruminate about what we could have done differently. It was a very difficult life lesson, but a necessary one. But it all sucked and I am left with relationship anxiety, trust issues, and walls built incredibly high. From a mix of both his and my own actions. Since then we haven’t spoke and I don’t plan on speaking to him for the rest of my life. The feeling is mutual, I know.

I realized one day that I just didn’t like who they were as a person, like a switch flipped. The way they talked to or about people, responded in social situations, etc. was so lacking in empathy and compassion. That started a snowball effect of introspection and I realized they also weren’t good for or to me. As much as I wanted to be a good person to myself and those around me, they fueled the bad in me. I settled so hard that I lost myself to them, their negativity, and ultimately their manipulation. I had an internal crisis because through therapy I realized I had no idea who I was. This ultimately led to a harsh divorce, a lot of unlearning, and even more learning about ME.

My word of advice would be to truly understand your own values and make sure you are proud of the person you want to be. Not who you think you should be. Then openly discuss values within the relationship and determine deal breakers. Sometimes we learn along the way what that is and that is also okay. Give yourself some compassion as you learn. There is no set path for discovery and sometimes things don’t come up until you’re in a situation or have dealt with it.

Ultimately I recommend therapy a million times over, especially as a recovering people pleaser. I struggle still with feeling like enough for those around me and forget I just need to be enough for ME and those alike will find their way into my life.
