I’ve lived in Texas for the past 6 years (plan on leaving next year🤞) & I’ve noticed how miserable it is for dogs. The lack of shade on sidewalks, sprawling highways, asphalt everywhere, etc makes it difficult for them to go outside at all. I understand the south is going to be hot either way, but walkable spaces with proper shade would be a huge game changer. I can’t imagine having a frenchie or brachycephalic dog out here. I’ve seen people out walking them & the dog looks like it’s about to die from heat stroke. Also, because of the lack of public transit, theres traffic pretty much all day, so you’re sitting there in a metal box with the sun beating down on you & the a/c can’t get cool fast enough cause you aren’t moving. I get not everyone’s car is like that, but I have a 10yo sedan & the a/c does not get cold enough until you get up to highway speeds. So you’re desperately trying to cool your dog off to not avail. It makes me sad for them.

A “friend” of mine was supposed to be my roommate for the next year. We found an apartment, toured & signed up together. Her credit is 511 (her previous roommate who’s undocumented stopped paying rent so she had to put everything on credit cards to avoid being evicted/cover his half); so I put my name on the lease since she didn’t qualify. Yes I know I should’ve known better, but her roommate did bail & I trusted her as my friend. She agreed to pay me her half & then I’d pay the complex directly. She got someone to sublet her roommate’s old room, her current job is a significant pay increase & she got a 2nd side hustle. We agreed on a set amount per month which she said was within her budget & would be no issue.
This was at the end of May.

I kicked her off the lease on Monday. She has yet to pay any of her half besides the $60 application fee. Everytime I ask it’s “oh I just need more time” but I ask how much time & she doesn’t know. Meanwhile I see her on her story eating out, clubbing, buying new clothes & random shit, etc. She wanted to move her stuff in last week & I said no you can’t until you pay me. She said okay but still left these giant fucking armchairs in the master bedroom. They’re hideous. I’m wondering what I should do with them? Should I sell them on Facebook marketplace or just trash them? I figure it’s the least bit of revenge I can get. Fuck that bitch

Even if we’re home he likes the door to my room to be open so he can survey by the front door. He’ll nap in the hallway where he can see most of the house. He’s half husky so it’s interesting to see the guardian instinct is still there. He’s very friendly & only barks if someone is approaching my open window at home or being loud near the front door. He just gets it. Even though he’s not a PPD (& shouldn’t be for many reasons) I still feel safer with him 🐾
