I just got a kitten and forgot about the admin abuse! i have no offer but does anyone have a free sheepdog fluff???

My reason is because i have no pets to give and im desperate because i cant afford these pets. if anybody is kind enough.. i also accept any other megas. i really don’t care

I have a pit bull boxer mix, and he acts like a cat, grooming, laying on me, purring, etc. is this like normal?? he’s well groomed and cared for so it can’t be that he’s dirty or something. he also licks me all the time, he’s such a sweetheart and he’s not covered with any bugs at all as he’s treated. is this just a personality quirk??

Im LF low value megas such as river otter, irish setter, mexican wolf! my offer may not be fair i dont really check values!

its not often, he’s a boxer/pitbull mix. we find him within 30 minutes of him running and he doesn’t run often, i’d just prefer to feel more secure about it. he’s well trained, and only runs if the fence is open, he also has a barrier collar .. Im only a kid btw. Hes insanely good dog but is an outside dog because he hates being inside. I’m just curious, and it’s not a big issue. i’m thinking of an airtag maybe, he never leaves the neighborhood so we should be good.

My therapist told me i have a high shot of OCD, and she would love to test me for it. i got taken out of therapy by my parents just a week or two later.

i often scrub my hands if i touch something that doesn’t feel right in my head, to the point they are red and raw.

If somebody messes with my stuff or goes in my room and moves anything i have to fix it and my brain wont shut up about how it’s wrong in there and i’ll never fix it and it’ll never go away and always have another person’s nasty germs and breath and everything in it i’ll never fully clean.

Im abnormally jealous, and get intrusive thoughts to ruin all my friend’s other friendships so they’re just mine. no, i don’t act on it. my therapist said this was the obvious sign at first, she never got to hear the others.

i’d add a photo but it appears they don’t let it.

my mom i think believes im overreacting and that nothing is wrong, my dad doesn’t know, but isn’t denying it a possibility.

I (under 18) and my sister (age non disclosed) haven’t always gotten along well. she and her boyfriend just got a brand new puppy, 8 weeks old, australian shepherd, has only had him for a few days. My sister is letting me babysit him.

I’m pretty bad at expressing my emotions in a way where other people get what i mean. I had said while her boyfriend was there, “I’m scared to watch him tomorrow” meaning, in my head, i’m nervous because it’s my first time, not that i’m gonna do bad. He was then hesitant to leave him.

This morning i’m watching him for around 4 hours, he kept running away from me and my sister took it as he’s scared of me. i don’t think he is, i think he just wants to explore. She said she won’t leave him if I keep scaring him because he whined (attachment issues), and idk. i wanted advice. I feel horrible because if the dog is scared of me, or he gets hurt while i’m watching him, then my sister will never forgive me. I’m nervous about that, if that’s the right term. I can easily watch this dog for hours on hours but i’m just new to it, and i’m scared i’ll do bad. (for more info, i’m a good few years older than 10, just don’t wanna give too much info.)

I got frustrated because he’s a new puppy, i’m just trying my best here. i’m up for the challenge but it seems like nobody thinks i can, and thinks the puppy might just die because of me.

I struggle heavily to figure out others emotions, and i’m nervous because my sister obviously doesn’t trust me. Im good with the dog and my hand and arm have bite and scratches from him that i let him do while playing because he’s teething, i obviously redirected to a toy.

AIO for feeling this way? I don’t know, i feel like im being dramatic about being scared. I’m the type of person to cry for 30 minutes over a mouse we had to kill because it wouldn’t leave the house and could’ve killed us if it had desises (im sorry, i have some spelling issue with writing and stuff. can’t spell beggining without autocorrect, and my phone doesn’t autocorrect much. something similar to dyslexia.) and in fact, i did cry last night because we caught the mouse (and it passed)

AIO?

Hello! My sister (as the title says) has never really trusted me because i’m 4 and a half years younger than her.

she just got an adorable 8 week old Australian Shepherd named Tucker.

I had begged to pupsit him, begged because i’ve been very responsible and i really always wanted a puppy (my current dog is 8-9 years old. very old.) and is definitely getting slower, even though they live to 10-15. lost my previous soul dog at the age of 7. so i was so excited to pupsit.

i assumed she would say no, although her and her boyfriend work a lot through the day, so it would be perfect. she actually said probably and if so most likely later this week. i would have this puppy for around 6 hours! i’m so excited! i know nobody really cares but im so excited because i love puppies, and i always wanted another, as my parents gave away MY puppy years ago when she was barley at my house for a month.

i have cried when just speaking about how bad i want a puppy, (even more a kitten but they hate cats) and how i can care for a cat, how i have free time. .. anyways. so yeah!! my sister might let me babysit her puppy!
