Adopting a dog is not for the faint of heart. This sucks. I feel like shit. The dog feels like shit. The guy was probably abused, he hides in the corner of closets in the dark and is easily scared. I was grooming him and tried to roll him (15hrs of driving 4hrs of sleep = common dog sense out window) and he panicked and hid from me.
I pulled his face into my car door while opening it. That made me cry a little I felt so bad. I tried to move his bed to be next to mine. Now he won't lay on his bed at all even after I returned it to his spot. He doesn't know any commands. Not even sit. His nails are in terrible condition and walking clearly hurts him.
Neglect and abuse of a show dog is what I think. He's stunningly beautiful, and walks REALLY well with a show dog canter. But that's it.
I was prepared for most of these issues. I know how to get started fixing them and when to seek professional help (asap lol fuck). He gave me a light lick on the cheek earlier then fled again. He whines when I leave, and I saw him wag his tail for the first time today. Training is tough because he liked my treats this morning but no more, welp.
I was not at all prepared for how badly it would make me feel and how much it breaks my heart
Sounds like you're making progress at least though, it'll take him a while but he'll keep warming up to you, seeing him turn around will make you feel amazing
[QUOTE=Topzombie;50882859]A few days ago I decided to finally get into the dating game since I ain't getting any younger.
Made an account on OkCupid, answered a shitload of questions...no matches within 50km :frown:[/QUOTE]
i've never had any success with dating apps either, though i haven't tried okcupid yet, but if you've gotten no nearby matches in a big country like germany i doubt i'd get any at all in my country
gay/bi people are ridiculously difficult to find, i even wanted to go to a pride event nearby but it's really awkward unless you have someone to go with
I've had infinitely more success with Grindr than any dating site tbh

Isn't Grindr just good if you're merely interested in a quick fuck?
My dog was extremely skittish for several weeks. Yours will come around, just give it time and plenty of affection.

I imagine so, but my issue is with the foster not being entirely honest with me. After she bitched about four other adopters flaking out and not being honest ._.
Also turns out he has a large bladder and his potty training isn't bulletproof. I get to be the bad guy isolating him in the (tiled) bathroom since he's not crate trained and I have no crate yay
nnngh I am never drinking again.
This hangover sucks.
Although, JackBox has to be the best drunk game ever.

I always tell myself that, then I am back to drinking by night.
Finding myself driving around a lot pointlessly and jamming out to some tunes, just to think about things. A great experience.
Must drive to my mother soon and say hello.
My dad just went to the emergency room because he was feeling faint and almost passed out twice
Went out for karaoke for the first time with my friend and 5 other people I never met before. It was so much fun we were all there until four in the morning.
Karaoke is my shit. Love it so much.

I'm resigning from work tomorrow. Going through way too much right now to be on this ridiculously sporadic and demanding schedule they have me on.

We had some karaoke sessions in school.
And since I'm the "token gay guy" of the class, obviously I was put to sing YMCA.
My dad's ok, his blood pressure dropped as a parasypathetic response to too much neck pain
Yo anyone here ever play advance wars as a kid? Rediscovered the game recently and their a fuckin blast.

that being said Nintendo can go fuck themselves for dragging their feet on a 3DS game, keep milking the anime waifu simulator that used to be known as Fire Emblem assholes
however, again that being said I will literally walk to the nearest game store and buy a 3DS if they announce a new one

i'd be lying if i said i still didnt enjoy awakening and am probably going to buy Fates but i think advance wars has a certain appeal which sets it apart from fire emblem. i can appreciate the tactics a lot more when their removed from the RPG elements cause that game has a solid as fuck combat system. stuff like the intricate vehicle counter triangles; emulation of real life combat and all that Nintendo charm just make it a fucking joy. just running the logistics of your tiny little army feels like so much fun in that game.
Waiting one week is the hardest thing ever.
Also train tickets are pretty expensive considering it's a small journey relatively.
Train prices are ridiculous, they're only justifiable if you're going on long journeys.
i was quite surprised when i saw the train ticket prices when i was in the UK, glad my friend had a staff pass and got me in for free
in my country, a train ticket to go across the country costs pretty much 4,50
I made a horrible mistake of shaving all my facial hair off and now i look like some ugly slug. My neck just kind of merges in with my face and since my neck is stupidly wide, its the same width as my head.

Facial hair = Best hair
I've had a beard for like five months now and I get a lot of compliments on it
feels good
Haven't been here a while, but I have something on my chest that I feel like I have to share with someone.
A few weeks back I met up with one of my online friends. We had kinda had something for each other online, but we decided to wait until we met up irl to make any concrete decisions on whether or not we'd want to start a real committed relationship.
I personally didn't feel any romantic chemistry towards him, but since we were both curious and comfortable we decided to get a bit intimate, so [sp]i gave him a blowjob.[/sp]
He was very nervous, so was I although not nearly as much, but he couldn't ejaculate so we stopped. I didn't really want to since I really enjoyed it, but I didn't wanna force anything.
It's been on my mind pretty much every night since then, but generally I just wanna get romantically intimate with someone again. Dating sites aren't proving to be very productive, I've been on some for months to see if I could find anyone who have interest in me. I reach out, but so far no one, both male and female, are responding. Like, literally no one ever writes back? What's the point of being on a dating site if you're not gonna try and get to know other people???
I don't really know what to do and it's a bit frustrating, but not enough to ruin my days. I'm not trying to throw myself a pity party. Just confused, I guess?

Good lord, that was a fun first day. My dog almost choked to death!
I gave him a rawhide square yesterday morning when he had to be constrained to the bathroom (since he had an accident), but he didn't touch it. He's still not eating or drinking (much) and is anxious af. Anyways, later in the afternoon while I was moving stuff into our new apartment he finally picked it up and sat down contentedly to chew it. I made two trips to unload stuff to find him peacefully chewing it- I generally watch dogs when chewing rawhide, they are a hazard.
In between that and my next trip he went from nibbling on a corner to having finished the whole thing, but he was panting funny. Oh wait, he's choking. hunh. at this point my brain sorta locked up and thought "if I don't do something he's going to die. that's probably not good". I was weirdly detached and unpanicked.
Since I exist in a state of panic (thx anxiety) this was a bit odd.
Anyways, I ran over, picked him up (he still doesn't much like me touching him), placed my arms under his ribs, and firmly pulled in the worst impression of a heimlich maneuver ever. The rawhide square came up whole and soggy right into my hand.
He went back to trying to chew on it. I sorta decided that [I]maybe[/I] that we'd had enough of that today and tossed it out.
I was shaking like a motherfucker and that idiot was looking at me a bit miffed that I'd tossed his rawhide out. jfc.
tldr i almost killed my dog on his first full day with me, gg no re. since he didn't die, its actually pretty damned funny though haha
I start my new UPS job on Wednesday
