    Could be a 100 reasons why someone does that my mother did it when her voice (vocal chords & tongue)became paralysed

    How were you ghosted? It's not a pleasant feeling, but you have to shift perspective and think what they might have had going on at that moment in time. I'm often away with the faeries and don't notice all sorts going on around me. You can always extend an olive branch and see if they reply to you in the near future. If not - then again, this isn't the behaviour of a true friend.

    Thanks guys… I’ll try reaching out to her again but I don’t want to bother her if there’s something going on in her life.

    Lviv is an official UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kyiv used to have lots of tsar-era buildings outside the central core which was destroyed in WW2. It was a really beautiful country, and the people were pro-Western to the point that learning English was mandatory in primary school. No, I never was able to visit, and never will, but I've read a lot over the past two weeks.

    A guy literally said to me “I don’t know who’s a more beautiful girl, you or your dog.” Lol. It wasn’t creepy. I don’t often get compliments

    And we humans are so funny. So much song and dance about different ethnicities in our species, but when it's different breeds of dogs, we go "oooh, aaah" - why can't everyone appreciate the beauty and diversity among people like they can with dogs etc?

    Luca
    Yes I agree with you guys!! And thank you Gerontius for further compliments lol. :)
    Callistemon, you’re completely right…
    I’m also impressed that I had the guts to take my jacket off in public, I was covered up while we were hiking…

    They say that the weather takes 3 weeks to travel from the US to Europe. It's actually true. Hopefully I will be able to shed some clothes then.
    (I hate the cold and it's still freezing).

    I took my dogs out this morning and came home and immediately fell asleep. Lol. But later we’re going for a hike in another pine forest.

    Just spent the past 4 hours working on a painting. I want to submit my best artwork to a gallery at the library. Scared people will hate it

    My eating habits have gotten really bad :/ I should probably try to stop complaining about being overweight because I did this to myself.

    Intermittent fasting does not anorexia make--In my case, it started with typical autism stuff (issues w eating) and then turned into "hey this actually is not too bad."

    We eat way too much meat, way too much processed starches, and we do way too little, in this country. It's kind of an everybody problem. So don't feel too bad.

    It is almost 4:30 in the morning and I am having cravings for spicy Goldfish crackers lol
    Gerontius

    If you have a bottle of Tabasco in the kitchen you can put that stuff on Goldfish--or Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce works pretty great on them too. Good trick for when the craving for odd flavors arrives.

    That must be an acquired taste. Do they contain goldfish? :)

    They weren't female friends then. Real friends shouldn't behave like that.

    Don't overthink it. Just go with your gut. When your minds overworking just be mindful of surroundings, sensations. Tell yourself you'll worry about it all another day. If the visualisations really won't go away, then swap the outcome from your fears to the best possible conclusion.

    Thank you, Ed. You are so kind and wise!! Hopefully I can just go with the flow and our friendship will develop just fine :) It's just hard to stop doubting myself and other people because I've been hurt so much. :/

    Enjoy the friendship and take and give from it without having high or any expectations. I havent had friends in a long time but I know that if things don’t work out, just enjoy the friendship in the moment.

    Enzo just got in a fight with another male dog :/ He’s okay but I’m a bit annoyed. The other dog was running around loose and disobeying.

    Dog we had growing up we got at 8 weeks. We knew she was crazy as could be, and was a handful to keep up with. So we kept her on a leash and made sure that she didn't get away too much.

    I hate dogs but that was the best dog I've ever seen and she makes me want another dog. Worst thing she got up to (apart from ruining stuff around the house) was jumping into the neighbors' car and expecting to be taken for a ride.

    The thing was, since she was a very pretty dog, people wanted to pet her--but she was one-family to the core (blue heeler/ACD) and considered us the herd.
    Since we acknowledged her capacity for pure anarchy we never had a lot of trouble keeping her on her best behavior, and she lived to an old age and never bit anyone or their pets.

    My dogs are all one-person dogs too. Friendly and social with strangers for the most part but loyal and affectionate to me and only me. Lol

    Didn't realize that it's almost 4am... I have so much fun on here that I forget to go to bed sometimes. Lol. Goodnight!!

    I've been kind of wanting to post about some weird creepy things that have happened in my neighborhood but they might sound pretty insane.

    Sounds interesting. Something spooky? My neighborhood has its own strange happenings. Or is it creepy as in, icky lookin dude perving out in public or something (hope its not the last one :p).

    Spooky stuff happens a lot here… I’d be interested to hear about your experiences too!
    If there was a pervert running around here I think I would just move :/

    I will take updated pictures of some of my dogs tomorrow… Hex, particularly, hasn’t been featured on here for a while! Her 1st bday is soon!

    I’m going to have to post a thread about what just happened because there’s not enough space in a status. I am furious right now.

    Hang in there. Those people are only producing clicks--Tiny bits of dopamine--The next minor thrill to relieve the boredom of their own existence. You, on the other hand, are training useful dogs--at a professional level. I think you & the dogs win this round.

    Thanks guys <3 I try not to let things bother me too much but it’s hard!!
