When you’re measuring for pant space what size toy should be used? I have some like regular sized balls and then I have much larger balls. Should I use largest size ball that fits in my dog’s mouth when I’m measuring for pant room?
So the first picture is an outfit I wore out the other day and I feel like I look so stumpy and wide. Like my legs look really short. The other two pictures are each in different mirrors. I weigh the same amount in all of these pictures. I can’t tell if it’s the outfit itself making me look stumpy or if it’s the mirror or just how I posed??? Please help. Is the fit making me look like this?
My husband has about 3 to 4 years left on his contract, and there’s a real possibility he could be stationed overseas after his current tour (which is unaccompanied overseas). We both really don’t want to do long distance longer than we have to, but he’s been waiting for an opportunity to go overseas since before we met and wants to only put overseas options on his dream sheet.
The problem is that I’m 24 now and trying to change careers. I’m currently in vet med, but I’m burned out from being underpaid and treated poorly, and I don’t want to stay stuck in this field forever. I’ve been looking into radiologic technology because it actually fits my existing skill set. Radiographs are one of my strongest technical skills, but the program would have to be done in person because of clinicals. It is not possible for me to complete the program overseas.
I have thought about doing something more portable like cybersecurity or software engineering online, but I know I would not be happy doing that, even if the money was good. I want a career I can at least somewhat enjoy, and radiology is the first option that actually makes sense to me.
So now I feel stuck between two bad options if my husband PCSs overseas again: go overseas with my husband and delay my career, or stay stateside to go to school and do long distance for most of the rest of his contract. I’m also worried because he still needs to go to college and get a degree when he gets out, so if I delay my own career until then, we may both be trying to start over at the same time. I’m scared of putting my future on hold, but I also feel awful at the idea of choosing long distance when we both want to be together. I don’t want my marriage to end.
Has anyone else been in this position? How did you balance your own career/education goals with your spouse’s orders? Did you go with them and wait, stay behind for school, or ask them to prioritize stateside options? I’m not looking to blame him at all. I just need perspective from people who understand military timelines.
Hi all,
I just did my first online grief support group for pet loss and I realized that since I lost my sweet girl, Lola, I have been so angry. It's been two years and seven months since she left me and I'm still angry. I'm angry she was taken from me. I'm angry, because it feels like nobody gets it. I'm angry that I didn't get to watch her grow old. I'm angry at God.
And I know it's not right, but when I see people who's dogs like to be even ten years old, I'm angry. I'm angry I only got to love her for five. I'm angry because I thought I did everything right and she still got cancer.
I'm angry whenever people give me crap for getting my new dog from a (very good, very reputable) breeder so I could avoid the heartbreak I had with my Lola. I just couldn't go through that again. I've watched my dog go to cancer young and plenty other rescued dogs that were the same breed as her leave this world to the same cancer young.
I'm angry. I'm just angry everyday. I don't know how to make it stop. It doesn't feel any better or hurt any less. When do I stop feeling so angry?
I just wanted to know what you guys are doing to keep weight on your dogs? It seems like now that it’s warming up outside and we’re training outside and moving more my 1yo is getting skinnier. I need high calorie foods that won’t add a ton of bulk, some options that aren’t increasing fat intake, and she’s allergic to red meats so she’s limited to duck/chicken/turkey. She’s still eating puppy food that is 400cal/cup, so I don’t know if I should change her food to a sport food. Purina has one thats 484cal/cup. Does anyone else seem to have this problem as the seasons change?
