    I don't know why I am wide awake right now. Probably best not to be at this time lol

    Wish I’d figured out how to “mask” before I was already in my mid-20s. Would’ve saved me lots of humiliation. Still don’t entirely get it.

    I’m glad nobody really sees what I do when I’m by myself :/ And I feel pretty terrible that I have to feel like that. The world is mean.

    As someone who used to take great effort to try to fit in, I get this. However, being bullied and being embarrassed when things dont go right, its not your fault at all. People should accept others. If people dont accept or like you for yourself, then that is on them.=)

    If people don't like you that's their problem,remember your neurology is just as good as neurotypical sometimes a lot better,youll get to the time when you just be you

    My house is a mess and I don’t have the emotional/mental capacity to clean it up right now :(

    If I were in closer proximity, I would come help you. I hope you feel better/more up to it, soon!

    I just complained about a client’s dog, and now my dog is barking furiously at her water bowl. I jinxed it lol.

    I don’t often lose my patience with dogs, but that last client… omg

    Dog's are our kids. We can't believe they behave badly.

    @Gerontius GSPs are very intelligent… just SUPER high-energy and need an outlet for it. I’m glad this one actually hunts because that’s what they need to do. But even hunting dogs need obedience training… mine does both! And yes, very rare to find any type of Pointer owner (English, GSP, Vizsla, etc) who is smarter than their dog. My English Pointer outsmarts me constantly lol
    L
    Luca
    Just a side note, they are not called “English” Pointers in the US, just “Pointers.” But I usually have to differentiate somehow between Pointer and GSP because most people when they hear “Pointer” will think of a GSP. Btw have any of you ever seen a Pudelpointer?

    Sorry if I’ve said anything offensive :( There have been a fair amount of topics on here today that are personal triggers :(

    If it’s the thread that I suspect it is, don’t worry. I think I was more harsh. You’re a nice person Luca.

    Thank you Owliet <3 You’re very nice too.

    But in not so great news… my client today was a no-show and is not responding to my calls, so I’m pretty mad about that…

    Yes, I was expressing frustration… he said he had his phone on silent. Showed up at my house two hours late with no warning. But I want to give him the benefit of the doubt… like I said, his dog got walked and I made money. So it probably shouldn’t be a big deal :)

    What kind of dog is it ? It's hard for me to imagine people having a dog, but not walking the dog themselves.
    L
    Luca
    She’s a Staffy mix. I always wonder about that too… I walk my own dogs 3+ times a day!! Most of my clients work in the city during the day so that’s when I have their dogs. But I won’t complain too much because if people walked/trained their own dogs I wouldn’t have any business lol

    I wasn’t expecting this but literally found my dream home, affordable, in the same town I’m currently in. Historical English style cottage.

    I’m going to go look at it sometime in the next few days. I’m not 100% in a place where I can move yet but would be willing to put down a deposit.

    We are having an intense winter storm here. After it was in the 50s and 60s last week. But this is more typical, feels like winter until May

    I think I live in the coldest part of my state too. But not as cold as Maine… we have a summer house there and it’s still not super warm there in June.

    So I decided to cut my weekend short due to what’s going on in the world. Panic attacks would drastically affect my performance and my dogs.

    Thank you everyone!! :)
    Kodi finished in her category in obedience 2nd place with a score of 190. Not as good as she normally does but I’m still happy! She is already an obedience trial champion (OTCh) so I’m still proud of her!
    Hex will be competing in a traditional conformation show on Saturday.

    I made some new friends too! :) Two older ladies who breed Poodles.

    Aww, I feel the same about my dogs sometimes! Lol. You must have had a really special dog :)

    I wish it stayed warm here… it was 65 degrees today, and the rest of the week is going to be in the 30s. But going hiking again on Friday.

    Thank you for letting me know. I've never thought that you talk to much. I'm very sorry you have some medical things that prevent you from being able to
    fall. I hope they dissipate, soon! I tried snowboarding, once, but did not find it enjoyable. It looks like a lot of fun. I used to enjoy skateboarding when I was in my youth, which is why I thought I'd enjoy it, but, no.
    L
    Luca
    Thank you :) I used to want to skateboard but my mom thought it looked too dangerous. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy snowboarding :(
    I’m going to go to sleep but I look forward to seeing you on here again tomorrow! :)

    I'm off to sleep, as well. Have pleasant dreams, Luca. It was nice speaking with you! : )

    Why are people so mean? I went hiking with my dogs and I said hi to a lady with her dogs, and she treated me like I’m garbage.

    But that goes for lots of different cultures as well. It’s just interesting to me that the vast majority of ASD people I’ve come across (online and irl) are Caucasian.

    My best friend is from Poland and his family is very traditional and doesn’t seem to understand much about my Aspergers diagnosis… they mostly treat me like I’m always being rude or nosy. But I don’t know enough about their culture to know if that’s typical.

    @Aspychata Sorry, just saw your comment! Yes, I’ve heard that Minneapolis is bad too. Sorry you experienced that :( :(
