Best restaurants for horseshoe - and beyond? Visiting a friend this weekend and I want a horseshoe but my boyfriend is picky so I want to make sure he can have good food options (what food is overall seasoned the best?). Which is the best between Dublin's pub, darcys pint, or obed and Isaac's? Or is there another place you'd recommend? Thanks in advance!
My bf and I are expecting our first baby in November and we recently found out it's a boy! We're very excited. We've loved the name Theodore before we even got pregnant but of course that name is in the top 5 in the United States. Has anyone else picked a super common name and regretted it? I have a common 90s name and my bfs name is very unique. I remember having 3 boys named Nick in my grade school class. Does it matter at the end of the day if we love it? Thanks in advance!
Is anyone in or around the ocean or sandstorm regions that want to be friends? I cant offer much (in the modern region) but I am trying to get my platinum medal and need scatterbugs from those 2 regions. Let me know, thanks!
Pregnant with my first. A little over a month ago, my soul dog passed away (old age, I knew it was coming But damn I miss that boy). Two and a half months ago, my other, younger dog passed away unexpectedly. I am grieving heavily and I wonder if it would be a bad idea to adopt another dog. I found out I was pregnant the week after I lost my younger dog. I'm 12 weeks along so I'm dealing with exhaustion from 1st trimester and hopefully I'll get some energy back soon. I wouldn't get a puppy but instead a young adult dog who is already house trained. People keep telling me it's a bad idea but I'm really feeling depressed that I don't have a silly Labrador to keep me company. Has anyone been through this? I feel like if I wait til after the baby comes it'll be years before I can have a dog again. But should I wait and focus just on baby? Thanks in advance for your thoughts, opinions, advice.
Edit to add: my bf lives with me and has a dog who I SO appreciate, if she wasn't around I'd really be lost. But she's not my dog and not the energy goofiness I'm used to with my labs. I'm also looking at dogs currently in foster homes that are calmer, good with dogs and kids and not a puppy
In February I lost my 4 year old dog to a bowel obstruction. A month and a couple days later, I lost my soul dog (first dog) who I had from age 19-32. He was my best friend and helped me through so many difficult life events. He was my support dog and he meant the world to me. I knew he was going to leave me soon because he was experiencing health issues, and he was about 14 years old which is up there for a Labrador. He had a great life with me and I treasure all the time we had. The younger dog I loved as well. We didn't have as many years and experiences as my old dog. It stung to lose him and I miss him and his goofy self. I didn't expect to lose him so quickly and I regret not doing more to try to save him. He was a good boy and made me laugh daily.
I found out I'm pregnant in February - first time. Everyone (family/friends I've asked for opinions) is telling me it's a bad idea/time to adopt another dog but I have such a big hole in my heart that I feel like another dog would help at least buffer the aching. My bf has a dog but she's just not the same. Not a boy and not a goofy Labrador like my boys were. I am so thankful I have her around because any dog presence is better than none. My bf supports me getting another dog but he personally doesn't want anymore pets once his dog passes. He understands the grief I'm experiencing and while he doesn't want more pets, he stated he would help me take care of the dog as needed.
I understand I shouldn't care what others think but I'm going back and forth as to whether it's a bad time to adopt again. I feel like now would be a better time than when I have a newborn, so the dog has time to adjust to me and my home. I think of when my baby is in a high chair trying new foods and the relationship dog and baby would develop over the years. What do you think, should I wait to get another dog or look into it further? Will I regret getting a dog once I'm in the postpartum stage? Thanks in advance for sharing your opinions and experiences. I just need some perspective on this.
