Hey all! My girl is crate trained and does pretty amazing at just about everything. Shes 7 months old and is still wiley but settles fine in her crate.

I’ve been really wanting to snuggle and have a dog at my feet in bed. I was always anti-dog in bed but since my husband died 9 months ago I really want physical touch outside of my baby daughter.

So I’m curious, do you think I should wait to invite her in bed with me until she’s out of her adolescence?

I don’t want to ruin my ability to put her in her crate to settle and go to bed if I need to have the space for me and my daughter. But I also want the option to snuggle. Idk!

I would also prefer she is freshly groomed if in bed with me but, what do you all do? What is your sleeping arrangement? My girl has a kennel in my room and in another room. We switch up where she sleeps and she doesn’t have separation anxiety which I love.

I posted the other day about rehoming my XXXXL dog and my two cats. I have one amazing 7 month old dog. I’m moving back to my home town to be with my parents and my 13 month old daughter…

Am I actually insane that I want another dog??? Dogs are my security blanket so I understand the response that I am having due to all the change. I know I am capable but EVERYONE is telling me not to…

Maybe it helps me feel secure and in control of my life when everything else feels insecure…or at least against my will.

I feel so stable otherwise.

And I want another one…a little lap dog.

Uhhh….i may have made a deposit on a dog…

It’s been 9 months without my husband. I thought I could do it—raise our baby daughter, our dogs, our cats, keep our property. All in the place we call home…which isn’t my hometown. It isn’t where my family is.

And here I am now. My beloved dog and cats need to be placed in homes where they can be properly cared for because I can barely properly care for myself.

I’m moving back home but I haven’t told anyone yet. My family will be overjoyed to help me.

It just hurts so much to go through the never ending grief after he died. Our precious cats. My sweet dog he got me…I can’t keep him because of lifestyle reasons.

It just hurts.

I want to talk myself into keeping them but I know better. I’ve thought of every scenario.
