Currently writing this at almost 1:30am and completely exhausted. I have had my dog since she was about 7 weeks and she’s now 4. Pretty much all of her life, she’s gone potty out in a yard. I let her out the back door and she comes back when she’s finished. She hasn’t been on a real walk in a long time due to her constant pulling, squealing when she sees other dogs, and just choking herself on her collar.

We just moved to an apartment today and although she has gone pee, she refuses to poop. She’s been waking me up everything hour since 9pm to go out, and I can clearly see she has to go when we’re outside but she will not go. She paces back and forth like shes going to go and then try’s to dart off to a different spot just sniffing and pulling. I understand she’s probably overwhelmed with smelling so many new things and dogs, but I am exhausted. Any suggestions on how to get her more comfortable and familiar so that she will go? Thank you!!

EDIT: She pooped!!!!! I cried to my husband partially because I was really frustrated since she wasn’t going and also because ya girl is exhausted. It’s been a few hours since the last time I took her out so he took her and she finally went. It wasn’t in an area I had walked her but hopefully because she’s gone she’ll be able to smell herself and be more comfortable going. Thank you to everyone that gave me genuine and kind advice, I really appreciate it and will work on all of the things that were suggested!!!

I got married 3 weeks ago and just recently got photos back. Before the wedding, my photographer had me create a list for photos that I wanted and due to certain behaviors leading up the the wedding, I made the decision not to do photos where my husband and I were separated. I learned much later that my MIL went up to my photographer and specifically requested to have photos alone which included just her and my husband, SIL and my husband, and then my husbands family, none of these included me. I luckily don’t see any of these photos in the album my photographer gave me so idk where they are honestly. My husband then tells me today that my SIL specifically requested the photos of just the 4 of them so she could get it framed.

I’m really hurt because time and time again they are showing me that they truly don’t like me and are purposely trying to exclude me. I didn’t take photos alone with any of my family and I’m having immense regret on top of being hurt that my in laws are trying to exclude me from something as big as wedding photos. This was a fear of mine from the beginning which is why no individual photos were included in the list.

My husband doesn’t want me to worry or be upset but how can I not? Definitely not the way I wanted to start my weekend😕
