King lives in these pipes in our front yard and loves leaving skin on our front porch to flex 💪 🐍
Also - anyone else kinda smug with this breed bc i just tell my dog don’t you dare pull me and he understands- while other ppl must use prongs 😂
I know these are smart dogs and have been bred as a swiss army knife type working dog so they have to be able to make independent thoughts without a human.
With that said, my GS Bronson will bark at something and i’ll come running to see what is going on outside if there is a delivery or someone at the door. Nothing.
I will walk bronson and i’ll be vibing to my music and he will stop 🛑 and act like he can’t go forward and i think he’s too hot but yet when we turn around he is somehow energized. Then he will alert to something ahead of us and i’ll turn off my music looking thinking a deer or creature is ahead. No nothing he pulls me off the path to sniff and try to eat random weeds/vegetation while i’m looking for the thing he alerted to.
He tries to herd me into what he wants if i’m in lalaland i end up somehow in the kitchen with him and he wants a bone. Or he needs to go outside. When he is outside he will stand right at the front steps not moving unless I begin bribing him to come inside. I got annoyed and just shut the door on him and allow his guardian/FOMO drives kick in and then he wants back inside.
He whines a lot like he is trying to talk and it is like nails on chalkboard.
These dogs are smart manipulators and understand some conversations but I love him and we will get another once our senior dog goes.
He loves his papa but he knows mama will wake up randomly at 3am for cuddles 🥰
He is virtually deaf now.
I had a good long cry and laid on his bed w him yesterday.
lincoln will be 14 this summer
bronson is 3
anyone else have a gs and a small dog combo?
when a big dog just climbs into bed and just plops down on you and exhales that’s the most regulating comforting sensations and i pass out asleep
i’m prior army in the US. It is hard for me to have connections with people as I grew up neglected but bonded hard with my army coworkers in an environment suited for survivors and I did very well to mask and perform in my 20s and 30s.
For the life of me I couldn’t understand how to get over an “ex” so easily which was what I was supposed to do when I lost an FP. I didn’t know about CPTSD/BPD back then and just dismissed it as me being obsessive and immature.
Yeah i need to be kinder to myself my subconscious inner child will always demand to heal her mother/father would and demand to be seen and have someone ready at text like a parent to receive me.
Got it. Unfortunately, I cannot control my nervous system when cues from life process into my brain and my brain says wow this person is a long lost relative bc they are former military like you and are now “seeing you” aka emotional love bombing.
Yeah: I know what is going on now bc my one coworker is being emo w me like he senses i need that male support - no sir i don’t need it but inside me something screams please see me and cuddle me.
this is just my coworker but we speak the same military language so my bpd demands a sibling equivalent connection and i refuse to start doing the things that create drama down the road - i will remain an emotional silo but i will allow myself to feel the sensation of being briefly admired by someone - that doesn’t want to bond as a missing family member which is what is BPD mirrors.
