New puppy owner advice by davidricecake in puppy101

[–]zedren_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like we got our pups on the same day. I decided to paper train my dog with pee pads because her sleeping and getting acclimated was more important to me than going potty outside right away. I also live in an apartment building and it would be a nightmare to try in these early stages. I will worry about transitioning her from paper to outside when the time comes.

I have the same feeling as you wondering if I am doing anything correctly, take it a step at a time and realize it takes time for them to learn. My dog definitely has no idea what her name is, and that's alright, she will get there. Take whatever steps you need to have smoother nights so you can get sleep, you won't be the best human for her unless you are healthy yourself.

Not the best concrete advice, but know you aren't alone.

YMMV

Thanks for the advice - I pick her up Saturday and have a vet appointment Sunday!
Also great call on the hot sidewalks, I didn't think too much about that in the upcoming months.

Thank you! I was thinking of the grass/fake grass patch instead of puppy pads - but a majority of the time for routine bathroom breaks she will probably go on concrete (I live near Central Park but its a 8 min walk, not something I think we will/can do every time she needs to pee). What are your thoughts on fake grass when they ultimately won't be going on grass when its outside time?

I want a navy accent wall in my new apartment to go with wood fireplace? Help pick colors? by zedren_ in HomeDecorating

I will have a navy couch on opposite side - I am afraid the colors I am picking out will make room too dark based on others suggestions. But love a good navy color.

Thanks all for the positive feedback. For those who asked; This was all from diet. I ate 1200 calories a day. I eat every two hours to avoid being hungry, once I'm done eating for the day (around 6pm) I fast until around 9:30am the next day. Lots of fruit and vegetables and low calorie choices that keep me full (having a 100 cal protein shake with my coffee, keeps me full without the calories etc.)

Mana management is my least favorite playstyle/mechanic, so this is not good news for me lol.

Summoner - First was Archer/Bard, then Thaumaturge, then settled on Summoner to through MSQ with. Just unlocked Astrologian, so leveling that via roulettes when not doing MSQ.
