When I was younger I always wanted a golden retriever and now after pet sitting about 95% of the golden retrievers I watch have been badly behaved. I’m sure most of it is the breeders but just having so many bad experiences I can’t ever see myself getting a golden retriever. Same with Labs, frenchies and doodles ( though I will say the Aussie doodle I’ve watched has been really well behaved and sweet but her Berne doodle brother has been awful ).

I am currently on a rewatch and started season 5 when JoJo comes on. I love Nia but it’s kinda getting old when someone says but I’ve been on the team since I was 3 or whatever age it was when they joined. Like I don’t think just because you’ve been on the team that long that it means you have to do every dance and that new people don’t deserve things over you. I didn’t like it when the moms would say it but I think it’s worse when the girls say it in front of the new girl - at least the moms when they say it don’t say it in front of the other kids to make the new dancers feel bad. Season 7 it was annoying too when the girls acted like that one girl shouldn’t have a solo. It just feels like entitlement

I love animals and have dogs and cats of my own. This current stay I am on the dogs can be alone for 6ish hours but I work from home so have just been working here and haven’t really left except to go to my moms house for her birthday dinner the other day. I’ve watched these dogs before and they’re super clingy like not only in the same room as me but literally touching me and licking me or pawing me constantly. Even when I sleep the one dog has to be pushed up against me which isn’t very comfy at night I get hot and a stiff back and neck from the way she sleeps. The same dog has a runny nose and has discharge constantly and they did warn me about this but her snot has gotten all over my bedding and blankets where I have to wash them almost daily. When I eat they lick me or paw me or try to jump on me. Last night I was pretty sick from accidentally eating expired soup. I’m tired today and just got annoyed so while I ate my dinner I barricaded myself with chairs around me so the dogs couldn’t get to me and now I’m in my room with a barrier up so the dogs can see me but I can have 30 minutes of quiet time without being touched. Is this bad of me ?

So I go to bed at 1am last night. Dogs went potty right before I go to bed as normal as I’d do my own dogs or any dogs I watch. 4:30am I hear whining so I go downstairs and let the dogs out to use the bathroom. I had my alarm set for 8 since they get breakfast around 8. Wake up at 7:30 and immediately smell poop but my room is next to the room with the cat box so I figure maybe just really smelly cat poop that just happened. Get up out of bed because I can hear a dog whining. Get downstairs and there’s poop all over the place and two pee puddles. Dogs sleep downstairs with a gate locked not allowed upstairs and thankfully the downstairs is wood so easy to clean. All but one of the turds is solid so it’s not even like you could blame it on an upset stomach. The night before everything was fine so not sure why this morning 3 hours after I let them out they had poop everywhere. Wanted to vomit picking it all up.

Coming to visit family but want to go to half moon bay and spend a night . Won’t have a car and don’t want to go with family because if you knew my family you’d understand lol plus they don’t like doing anything outside of alameda. Any idea if this is possible ?

It’s easy to graduate from kinder to 1st grade like I bet 99% of kids do and if they don’t it’s because the parents want to keep them back a year because they started school earlier than they should have. It’s crazy how much schools do for a kid who is moving on from kindergarten. People are having huge parties for kids now and professional photo shoots and even big gifts. Save all that excitement for big graduations that are actually hard like college , high school, heck even moving on from middle school to high school is better than a kinder graduation.
