Need best tips for settling

puppy tax
My puppy will not sleep or relax unless she is in her crate. even if she’s visibly very tired she would rather DIE than sleep. its a good thing that she can self soothe in her crate very well but id like to sometimes be able to have her out of her crate and be able to pet her and not get my hands eaten (bitey phase rn). Should i teach her how to settle outside of her crate? or should i just leave it as is and hope for the best when she grows up (3 months rn) She used to be really good at relaxing with me when she was a lil puppy but ig everythings more fun for her now hehe

How can i make my bf more comfortable

So quick summary my bf has a severe peanut allergy so that also means no beans no lentils no peas no soy. Woth that also comes an allergy to fish(?) that is actually really confusing because he ate fish for most of his life with ZERO issues until a year ago he had a reaction and apparently hes allergic to mites??? that are on the fish???? or something????????? idk but hes avoided it ever since. Now hes very very limited with what he can eat so we never ever go out to eat unfortunately never travel and dont really go to places where he cant cook himself food. I try my best to accommodate that because i love him so much (fyi his allergies werent this bad when i first met him, they got worse over time.) but sometimes it can get frustrating because when im out with him all day and i dont eat or barely eat because of his issues. So sometimes i can kinda get pissed at that. what also bums me out sometimes is that going out to restaurants to try new foods and hang out over food is something ive always loved to do with my friends and it really saddens me that he cant come :( i know its not his fault ofc buf it still bums me out alot. And knowing ill never get travel everywhere with him sucks too (unless we get an airbnb and get to cook food ourselves but even that is a stretch). I also cant cook for him either or bake because he doesn’t trust my familys kitchen (we’re asian so lots of risks) bums me out bc i would absolutely love to do so. He also hates fruits because of past childhood trauma. I love fruits 🥲. Sorry this is turning into a vent. Point is we’re very limited on what to do. I just need some advice or even someone who can relate to this. Does it get better?

Is it okay to hold my puppy down when she bites?

Hii so this might be uktra specific but i got a gsd puppy a few weeks ago shes about 10 weeks old ish and ofc like any other puppy boy does she bite. Ive tried everything people told me, and nothing really works. But my bf came over a few times and everytime she bites he like holds her down like on the ground and repeated this everytime she started nipping. eventually she stopped biting him so much. Now idk how to feel about this.. while yea it worked but i just feel bad for her, he tells me im being too soft on her and that i need to be stricter and while i agree with that in some sense, shes just a puppy and from what everyons told me thats just a phase taht they grow out of.

Today i was in the car with his mum and she asked me about the puppy and i told her shes a biter, and my bf said that again im being too soft on her and letting her bite me. His mum told me to do what hes been doing and that i need to show her that im stronger than her basically so she understands that she cant bite me and that j have to yell no at her very sternly. For context they have a hungarian vizsla and hes very well behaved and apparently he learned very early on to not bote because of this. Am i beinb dramatic? Are they right? Please let me know because while yea it seems to work i just feel so bad and im not sure if thats just because im being a baby or not. (Idk if this violates rule 1 but pls lmk if it does and i apologize if so.)

Be honest does my gsd look funny

shes the yellow one her name is cinnamon 🥹 the breeder says shes the smallest one in her litter but that shes very lively and active. She looks a bit funny, what do u think? It shouldnt be a problem right? i want her to do bite work and it shoudnt be a problem correct? shes adorable tho

I have no self control

How do i control myself. I feel so stupid for asking but idk what else to do idek if this is the right sub to post this on but i need help. Ive been trying to lose weight for a while now but i literally cannot stop eating. Since i was a child ive had bulimia which spiralled into anorexia+ bulimia, and to make a long story short i semi recovered and had an alright relationship w food. however the reaosn why i say alright is because every now and then i fall into old habits, either its throwing up starving u get the point. One this that has always stayed with me was binge eating. I absolutely cannot stop myself when i start eating. I hate it. I love food and it makes me really happy so i keep eating it and stuffing myself until im literally so so so full i cant even breath. After i have a plate of food i always go for more before even letting my body tell me if im full or not which leads into me eating WAY more than i have to and then either feeling horrible or throwing it all up. I feel incredibly guilty and stupid because of this because how hard is ut to control urself.. My bf eats way slower than me (most of the time) and hes also quite fit. His rls w food is complicated but for other reasons. reason why i mention that is when i try to twll him my issues i feel like he doesnt really understand me. thats not his fault or anything like that im not blaming him but i feel kinda alone in this. I am not obese but i am overweight, but i really am afraid of this continuing and me eventually becoming obese or something. Im scared idk what to do and i need help. I cant control myself.

Please help.

An acquaintance of mine recently asked me to take care of her gecko while she goes for holiday. i said sure. she dropped her gecko off at my house today. Ive never seen a more skinny weak gecko in my life. She wont eat crickets, she wont eat the mush, im so scared and she is barely moving. Idk how long shes been like this but i am fuming. Please tell me how to get some life into her i feel so bad.

Edit: she passed away minutes after i posted this. Its hard not to blame myself partially but ik this isnt my fault. Thank u for ur kind words it means alot to me. The gecko was in my friends care for two years, so i hope she had some good moments before she eventually died. Its silly to say but my heart really broke seeing her lifeless. Ill make sure this never happens again

do not get me wrong. i like airpods okay theyre a fine pair of headphones. but my god theyre so easy to lose. atleast for me. im writing as some who has been searcing for over like a week for these stupid marsmallows. so please. help. (i refuse to get apples big ass headphones. i hate them)

Budget and location - my budget is max 300€. i live in slovakia

How the gear will be used - i need noise cancellation bc its smth i cannot live without atp, ill be using them for mostly jsut everyday stuff like in cars and stuff, but i will also use them for gaming.

Preferred tonal balance - completely balanced. i think idk im not an audiophile so im not sure what any of that pther stuff means

Preferred music genres - nu metal or rock so i losten to alot of linkin park so ig any headphones thatll make me feel like i can feel their beats in my bones is great

Past gear experience - some random jbl ones they hurt my ears too much tho, and airpods.

must haves: MUST MUST MUST be wireless i cannot stand wired headphones 😭 thats js me i hate them ik theyre great bc of no delay but tahts not a big deal for me. Again must be noise cancelling as well. preferably not anything small thats easy to lose bc im very stupid. if they have like buttons taht adjust the volume or skip a song thats a big plus too. Thank u very much:)
